Recommended Online SkinCare Shops in the Philippines

Online shops indeed have become very popular these days. Not only in the Philippines but around the globe. Amazon, eBay, Sephora are just a few of them. One thing to keep in mind before buying is to make sure you're buying it from a trusted seller. You wouldn't want to waste your money using fake products, would you?

So below are the few shops available in the Philippines where you can buy cheap and legit Korean skincare products and makeups.

Shopee

Shopee is an online e-commerce platform that sells wide arrays of products. From cosmetics to anything that you can think about, just search in Shopee and you'll find it in there. Shopee has become similar to the Divisoria in Manila. You'll find products that are way too cheap in there. Just be careful when buying though because there are still sellers there that are selling knockoff products. When buying skin care products in Shopee, make sure you're buying it from a trusted seller. It's not super hard to find a trusted seller in Shopee though because these sellers are rated by their customers. You'll easily identify if what their selling is fake or not by the product comments. More importantly, trust your instincts when buying too! :) I have bought most of my skincare and makeup products from the sellers in Shopee. I could say I spent over P20,000 in Shopee alone. hahaha! (When I have time, I'll post the products I purchased from them.)

Beautymnl

Beautymnl is also one of my favorite go-to shops when it comes to buying skincare products. Their prices are higher though compare to Shopee's. Beautymnl offers the most wanted makeup, skincare, hair care, tools, and K-beauty products in the country. I have some of my Kikay kits from them. Though they're pricey, overall I love what I bought from them and I can guarantee they're legit!

Althea

Althea is one of my favorites as well. Their products are shipped directly from Korea! So if you're a very specific an oozy person, I would recommend you buy your Korean Skincare from them. :)

Teen Age Acne Problem

My teenage days was never easy for me. I remembered I started having acne-break out when I was 17. I was a second-year college then when it started. Imagine how I felt about having to deal with acne-break out. I started to feel insecure and I started to lose confidence in front people. There were times that I wouldn't want to go to school because I felt horrible about all the pimples growing on my face. They said it runs in our family. My father and grandmother said that almost all members of our family had they same teenage issue. I have a fair complexion so with all the pimples all over my face, I looked really bad.

Then I started to find a way to conceal it. I used a MaxFactor Pan Stik concealer to hide the pimples away. It somehow lessened the redness on my face but it was too dull and cakey. My pimples were still there... I never got away with that method. My grandmother bought me a drug she saw on the TV ad but I can't remember what the name was. It was endorsed by a Philippine actress Kim Chui I think. I started drinking for a couple of days however it worsens the case. Those are the few things we tried to cure my acne-break out.

I've had a classmate that has the same problem and she suggested if I could also try mixing an Eskinol Dermaclear toner with Dalacin C medicine and Myra Vitamin E. Along with it I used a Garnier cream to lighten the dark spots. After every wash, I religiously applied the solution all over my face every morning and before I go to sleep at night. I was surprised that it actually did work! I was super happy to have found the answer to my dilemma. I almost gave up but as the saying goes "it ain't over until it's over".

I hope this helps to anyone who's having the same concern!

P.S.

The Eskinol Dermaclear toner, Myra Vitamin E and Garnier can be bought at Watson or any supermarket available near you. The Dalacin C medicine however is an anti-bacterial medicine that you can only buy with prescription.
