I had many realizations while we were on the trip:

1. The Philippines is amazing!

I’m lucky to be a citizen.  I wish more Filipinos would be proud of this.  During the trip, I have seen the vast shoreline and the beautiful beaches.  In contrast, I also witnessed the overwhelming view from the mountains which is spectacular.  The trip was like a time capsule and it brought me to a different date when I visited different churches and towns.  There is so much to see in the Philippines!  My only wish is that these tourist spots would be more accessible to travelers.  It’s about time the government would think of more trains to and fro the provinces.

 

2.  Now I know how it feels to be a celebrity [ish] (well sort-of).

I always thought being up on TV and shooting for the camera was fun.  You can see the lives of celebrities on TV and how cool their jobs are.  Having a TV show myself (Tek Tok TV), I also felt how draining a single shoot can be.  But don’t get me wrong, it’s still one of the most fun jobs in the world, especially if you love cam-whoring – having a video camera follow you is not much different.

We also experienced walking on the streets with cameras following us.  The people around stare at us as if we’re celebrities.  There was even one guy who took pictures with us.  He honestly thought we were celebrities.

I certainly would miss this day.

As a blogger, I always hold the camera and take pictures.  I’m so happy I did not have to bother much about capturing those memories because we had Jeck and Orange House! :)  And of course, this road trip wouldn’t be possible without the Vaseline team – THANK YOU so much!

 

3.  When Traveling, protecting your skin is a priority.

I’m not afraid of the sun so I freely go under it and do all of my outdoor activities.  But the thing is, I don’t wear sun protection.  I take my skin for granted and I’m lazy to moisturize and protect it from harmful UV layers.

The trip made me realize how important it is to moisturize and protect myself from Sun’s harmful rays.  The skin after all is our first line of clothing.  I do many photo shoots and it pains me to see uneven skin tone on pictures.  It’s a hassle for the photographer to Photoshop it *paisehhh*

Check out my review of the Vaseline Healthy White Lotion with SPF 24 here.

 

4.  My readers are very creative!

I had fun giving out questions on our daily contest.  I was happy to know that a lot of creative juices were squeezed.  I wish I could give more prizes but really, the answers you gave were very entertaining and creative.  Love it!

You are all winners guys… I’m so happy!

It’s my first time trying this product and like I said from the beginning of our trip, I will test this throughout the road trip!  I had a hard time trying to compare it with other lotions because this product is so different.  All in all, it had the things I needed for my dry, sensitive skin and uneven skin tone.

My personal skin problems:

1. Very dry skin.  If I leave it unmoisturized for a month, it would look like scales!

2. Uneven skin tone.  Swimming, surfing, frequent traveling, skateboarding, driving – name it I have every reason to have dark skin, but worse, it’s uneven!

3. Sensitive skin and nose.  I need to properly take care of my skin because if I don’t, my allergies and eczema would all come out! My eczema is caused by both fatigue and dryness of skin.

I usually don’t care if my skin gets dark.  I don’t like applying sun block on my skin all the time especially when I’m touring around different countries or when simply just walking or driving around the city.  I don’t like the sticky feel of the sun block and the smell of the pool following me.  For some reason, sun blocks to me, smells like the pool.

Don’t follow me guys, I have changed.

What you need to do to take care of your skin:

a. Moisturize

b. Protect from sun’s UV rays

c. Even out your skin tone

During the Northern Philippines road trip, I applied Vaseline Healthy White lotion.  Did I like the Vaseline Healthy White with SPF 24?

I absolutely did!

Here’s why:

1.  Moisturizes my skin without feeling sticky! Perfect for my super dry skin!

2.  There are 3 layers of protection from the sun.  It protects me against UVA (PA++)* and UVB (SPF 24)*.  It also has vitamin B3 that helps in skin lightening!  It actually works!  I didn’t look any darker than I already was! Itt somehow evened out the tan lines I got from Boracay.  I think I’ll just apply this for about a couple more weeks then we’ll see how much it improves! 🙂

3.  It has a nice smell.  My nose is very sensitive to smell as well and I could get dizzy enough just by scents alone.

4.  For some reason, this lotion gives my skin a healthy rosy glow

5.  It’s affordable.  You can buy it with a price range of P99 – P399.  I didn’t buy my first pack as it was given to me 😛 But, will I buy this again? Oh yeah definitely 🙂

The whitening factor is just a bonus for me.  I am really more concerned for a higher UVA and UVB protection with the skin moisturizer/lotion I have.  Without these protection, my skin will get old easily! Wrinkled, scaly, dry!  Here in the Philippines, sun is out all the time.  Even walking on your way to work or school gives you exposure to sun.  This all in one lotion is a Win! hurray for Vaseline Healthy White.

Vaseline Healthy White SPF 24 is highly recommended for an all around lotion with a triple lightening protection that gives you a fair, even toned skin.

*mini glossary:

• UVA €“ Ultraviolet A (protection to this harmful rays are measured in PA+, PA++ or PA+++)
  • the more pluses (+), the better protection
  • if you go out of the sun a lot, you need at least PA++
• UVB €“ Ultraviolet B (protection to this harmful rays are measured in  SPFs)
  • the higher the SPF the better

Caution:

Even with sunscreen, it is not advised to stay too long in the sun.  Reapplication is also encouraged every 4 hours.
