The place is so clean and so much fun! You won’t be scared at all of whatever it is they will do to you! 🙂

The laser machine which looks like an utlrasound machine 🙂
You lie down and this is what you see in the ceiling 🙂 But they eventually put on these goggles on you while they are doing the laser treatment
And just like that it was over and back to normal 🙂
I will be back in about 6 weeks for my next laser treatment

My sister in law, Pam, was the one who introduced me to BB Cream when we were travelling in Korea two Christmases ago. I thought it was a great invention, though I found the shades too light for my skin I was looking as pale as a Korean 🙂 Now Pond’s has their own BB Cream in Light shade and in Anti Aging form. They will be coming out with a darker shade soon and that will be better for my skin color. Looking forward to it.
Pond’s, the pioneer in face care with over 160 years of developing exceptional skin solutions, strengthens its portfolio with the launch of the latest revolution in skin perfection from Pond’s—the NEW Pond’s BB+ Cream. This multi-tasking product marries expert skincare with healthy coverage, making Filipinas INSTANTLY SPOTLESS, FOREVER RADIANT. It conceals spots straightaway while nourishing from underneath the surface to improve skin over time.
The Beginnings of The BB
The brainchild of German dermatologist Dr. Christine Schrammek in the 1950s, BB creams (also known as Blemish Balms or Beauty Balm Creams) were initially used to protect and provide natural, light coverage for the sensitive skin of patients who had just undergone laser treatment or surgery. More recently, South Korean actresses began using BB Cream, crediting their fair and flawless tone to it. With the increasing popularity of Korean dramas, it finds an ever-increasing fan base among beauty-savvy women across Asia.
Made For Multi-Tasking Filipinas
Even if the desire for flawless, even-toned skin is prevalent, only 7 percent of urban Filipino women actually use makeup. The other 85 percent conceivably cite inconvenience as one of the reasons for not regularly using makeup. With this comes the relevance of Pond’s BB+ Cream, as it offers a unique combination of healthy coverage and expert skin care in one easy-to-use tube. This all-in, wonder product saves time for women on-the-go.
The Merging of The Best
Pond’s BB+ cream is a “hybrid” product, combining the benefits of skin care & cosmetic. Specifically, it conceals spots, acne scars, and wrinkles instantly, like a sheer veil of foundation that feels so light on the skin. It can be used solo to provide natural-looking coverage or together with makeup, as a base or primer. Also, Pond’s BB+ cream protects skin from harsh UV rays with SPF30 PA++, gives enhanced radiance with light-reflecting Super Optics, and nourishes skin from within.
Pond’s BB+ creams have all these and make sure to address your unique skin concerns through these specific products:
· Pond’s FLAWLESS WHITE Whitening Expert BB+ Cream SPF 30 PA++ is especially formulated for women who want the benefits of spotless finish and lit-from-within radiance. Enriched with GenActiv™ Cover Formula, it lightens skin and dark spots by reducing the amount of melanin production. Flaunt a flawless complexion as it keeps your face smooth and instantly spotless.
· For women who want to keep their youthful beauty and keep fine lines and wrinkles at bay, Pond’s AGE MIRACLE Anti-Aging Expert BB+ Cream SPF 30 PA++ is for you. It has Intelligent Pro-Cell Complex™ Formula that helps stimulate skin cell regeneration to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots from within for a complexion that looks youthfully radiant.

Revel in the power of Pond’s BB+ Cream as it brings together the best of both worlds—expert skin care and cosmetic—to enhance Filipinas’ natural beauty, beauty that truly radiates from within.
* Pond’s BB+ Creams are available at exclusively available at all Watsons stores nationwide.
