Super Cream Comes to Town with the New Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream

A super cream is coming to town as Olay Regenerist launches its internationally, multi-awarded Micro-Sculpting Cream in the Philippines. Sold out when it launched in the US, UK and Australia, this cream gives skin the benefits of a firmer, tighter look without a facelift*. It keeps skin hydrated longer, outperforming 32 of the world’s most expensive creams – even the $350+ one – at a fraction of the price!  

There are two factors that affect the firmness of our skin – Collagen, which provides structural support for our skin, and Turgor, which is the normal cellular firmness of our cells caused by the water inside it pressing against the cell wall.  As we age, both of these are compromised resulting in skin becoming less firm and elastic, whilst visible wrinkles and uneven texture become more marked.

Collagen, the protein that provides structural support to the skin, naturally declines with age and the depletion is worsened by damage from environmental factors in the form of free radicals and UV rays.  The result is skin that is less firm, looks duller and reveals more fine lines and wrinkles.

While skin turgor is not often discussed in the world of skincare, it is a property of skin that we recognize instinctively. Good skin turgor occurs when skin cells are well-hydrated, enabling the contents of the cells to expand and attain their full shape and volume. Turgor is best visualized as the difference between a wilted plant and an upright plant.  

Turgor depends on two factors: hydration and a strong skin moisture barrier.  Hyaluronic acid, which is naturally abundant in young skin, is critical for hydration as it can bind up to 1000x its weight in water, giving young skin its soft, plump, and moisturized look and feel.  However, both hyaluronic acid levels and our skin’s moisture barrier decline with age, causing our facial skin cells to lose turgor.

The new Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream contains a potent combination of ingredients that addresses sagging and wrinkles by addressing both collagen and turgor loss.  It contains Regenerist’s highest level of Amino-Peptide Complex which includes 2 amino-peptides - pal-KTTKS that regenerates collagen and Carnosine which is also more commonly known as a potent anti-oxidant that protects skin’s collagen from harmful UV rays and free radicals.

Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream also contains hyaluronic acid which forms a 3-dimensional meshwork on the skin’s surface to draw moisture into individual cells, therefore helping to restore turgor.

The result: hydration that regenerates the volume and shape of 10 million surface skin cells, lifting skin so that sag-prone areas become firmer, and skin’s surface is more elastic, smoother and plumper, for that look of sculpted youth.

Get the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream before its sold out and give family and friends the gift of firmer, tighter skin this Christmas without the $350+ price tag. Because super creams don’t need to be super expensive.

Julie and Julia … and Jen?

I watched this movie twice and both times felt so wonderful, and nice, and comfy like I was there with them… with Julie and Julia, experiencing everything they did and feeling everything they felt.  I couldn’t help crying and laughing and giggling and simply being in awe of the film. I related to the characters in so many different levels, I dunno if I can express everything here.

Before I even try to do that, express my feelings and thoughts about this movie that is, let me say THANK YOU first to my sister Abba. When we went to Cebu last weekend, she was the one who gave me an idea about this movie. We already have a copy at home but I never realized how wonderful the story is. I thought it was just some old fashioned flick (which I can never really relate with).  I was saving it for later, when there’ll be nothing else left to watch. But when my sister told me that it was about a story of a blogger who started  writing about her passion and in the process found her true self, that really got me VERY interested. As soon as I had the time, I watched it. Then I watched it again. Thanks Abba! For some reason, you always manage to be my angel. When you introduced me to the book The Secret before, I was in a slump and that book really helped me get back on my feet. And now, you didn’t even know that I was starting to get depressed when you told me about this movie. Now I feel like I have a purpose again… that somehow, this wonderful life I am living will have some sort of direction, for the next year at least. Thanks sis! You are amazing! Between the two of us, you are more of the first born than I ever could be. You’re like the “Ate” I never had even if you’re actually the youngest of us three siblings. Anyway, I don’t want this to get too mushy… so… moving on…

Like I said, I related to Julie and Julia in so many different levels that I even started cooking in the middle of watching the film! I will tell you all about it on my food blog later. These levels are probably just in my head… products of my wild and overactive imagination but  I must acknowledge them…

Like Julia, I LOVE PARIS. I’ve never been there but since I was 13, I already imagined visiting the most romantic city in the world. I remember back in freshman year or was it sophomore year…? …I forget. Mer and I promised ourselves that when we turn thirty, we will go to Paris. Well, our 30th birthday came and went and we’re still here. So you can just imagine why I  actually get teary-eyed every time I see a movie done in Paris, or even  a photo of Paris. (I actually have a book about Paris hidden in my bathroom. I want to browse at it in privacy and dream about visiting the place again and again. Perhaps, I’ll do a blog about it soon.) Maybe because deep down inside, I kinda know that I will never be able to visit Paris (due to financial reasons.. I am too much of a scrooge to be spending tons of money  for the trip when there are so many other things I can do with our money… sigh.) But I believe dreams can come true and I’m hoping that someday, this dream of mine will. I think it really will.

Like Julie and Julia, I was also a miserable government employee for several years.

Like Julie and Julia, I am married to a wonderful, wonderful man but with no kids.

Unlike Julia, I never learned how to make hats nor play bridge but like her, I am interested in a lot of things if only to find that one real thing that will make me happy.

Like Julie and Julia, I am not a cook but I like to cook and I feel like I can be passionate about it when given the chance (this is why I put up my own food blog and my projects blog which includes baking and cooking).

Like Julie and Julia, I am in need of something worthwhile to do with the rest of my time and hopefully, someday, this something worthwhile will get acknowledged and will make our lives more comfortable and more meaningful. Who wouldn’t want that, right? I’m sure you would. Everybody would want a happy ending to their story.

So to those who haven’t seen the movie yet, please do. I’m not sure if you will like it the way I do but I am pretty sure, if you are a personal blogger like me, you will most definitely love it.  Bon appetit!

P.S. Yes, the movie will certainly whet your appetite. So prepare to cook and eat. ^_^
