MY [MY SKIN PH] JOURNEY

By Athina Angliongto - 8:24:00 AM

Believe me when I say that it is indeed very hard to find a skincare brand that will really do wonders for your skin.

For somebody like me who has sensitive skin, trial and error was the name of the game. I have tried SO MANY PRODUCTS FROM DIFFERENT BRANDS.

A little background: My skin wasn’t that bad until the pandemic started and we had to wear masks every single day. Eventually, I ended up having the so-called “MASKNE”. And I was truly desperate to try out different brands just to make the “maskne” and the scars go away.

So there, I found myself trying out different brands. Just like most skin care regimens, my face started peeling and I thought that it was the beginning of having better skin. But boy was I wrong. After the peeling process, it was as if nothing happened. My scars didn’t fade, my skin was still dry and to make things worse, I even had several itchy skin episodes that hindered me from getting decent sleep for days.

That’s why (realtalk) I was so glad that Ayesha reached out to me and asked me to try out MY SKIN PH. At first I was hesitant and I was honest enough to let her know that my skin was really sensitive. So she handpicked a few products from her brand that would hopefully match my skin despite its sensitivity.

I started using the products right then and there. And these are my first impressions of each product:

SOAP - I use this as my daily bath soap. I just love the faint vanilla scent it gives out during each scrub and I also noticed around day 4 or 5 of usage that my dead skin cells were easily removed with the help of my hand scrub.

GLOW SERUM - I had a very bad experience with the previous serum that I used because after using it just for a couple of days, it gave out a very pungent smell! But with My Skin PH’s serum, it smelled really good (more like that of baby powder) and after putting it on my face, it doesn’t leave a sticky trace like other serums do.

SUNSCREEN - I love using this everyday paired with my favorite lipstick. It is already fairly tainted and sometimes, I don’t even use a powder after applying the sunscreen on my face. It blends out evenly on my skin and just like the serum, it doesn’t leave a sticky feel after application.

NIGHT CREAM - same with the serum and sunscreen, it smells good and no sticky feel after application. I put this on before I go to sleep.

BRIGHTENING TONER - this is probably my favorite among the other products. Why? Because unlike other toners, it doesn’t STING at all. I have tried several toners before that sting after applying it on my face. But the toner from My Skin PH doesn’t sting at all and even leaves a very nice scent afterwards.

II INTENSE WHITE UNDERARM CREAM - this was definitely new to me as I previously used an underarm spray to help whiten my underarms. But adapting to the cream wasn’t a burden at all. The cream easily dried out after application and I need not put a lot of it on my underarms which is a good thing.

It has been more than a month now since I started incorporating these products with my daily routine and these are what I have noticed so far:

After giving birth, my underarms became darker and it still hasn’t restored to its former glory even after almost 2 years. But I noticed that it is now lighter after using the underarm cream for only a few days.
My "maskne" has started to slowly fade away
My skin has become smoother (face and legs)
The scars on my legs (from mosquito bites when I was younger) have also started to fade
I noticed that my skin is fairer than before

A month may still be too early but within that short period of time, I was able to see favorable results on my skin. And I am confident that with continuous usage of the products, my skin will be on its best despite my age.
