She has further proof, "Nagka-stretch marks ako sa likod, very minimal lang yun kase di ko nalalagyan masyado ng VCO, so meaning, it's very effective kase yung tummy, super sipag ko lagyan, di nagkaroon."
Guess who recommended the product to her? Denise Laurel, her co-star in The Better Half.
Camille Prats recommended Sanosan’s Anti-Stretch Mark Cream
In her interview with SmartParenting.com.ph, the new mom said, "I use it at least twice a day, and I see that it’s really effective."
Stephanie Zubiri-Crespi tried various products before settling with these two: Mustela Double Action Stretch Mark Cream and Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil.
Referring to the cream, she said, "I love how easily absorbed it is and it is what I use in the evenings before going to bed. I often use it with their Extreme Hydration lotion for the rest of my body. Pregnancy hormones really dry out your skin."
With regard to the oil, "It smells absolutely divine and this is what I would use in the mornings after a shower...It’s very important to continue nourishing your skin after so that it can get back as close as possible to its original form.
"One thing I wish someone told me was to also put cream and oil on other areas of my body like my hips, my butt, and my breasts."

Nowadays, aesthetic clothes can easily be mistaken for something expensive, but you don’t always have to spend a lot for stylish clothing. As you may have seen/heard, Ukay-Ukay is becoming a fad again and it is helping a lot of people save money and still look good at the same time. Here are great places to go ukay shopping for first timers: Makati Cinema Square
Makati Cinema Square (MCS) used to be the ‘it’ mall back in the days. Now, it’s a worn-down building with a vintage bowling alley/billiard place, few food chains, tiangge, and Ukay-Ukays. Located at the ground floor, you will see a selection of clothings, bags, and even shoes!
What’s nice about MCS is that many artsy people or bloggers buy here, as well. It has nice varieties and it’s air-conditioned—what’s not to love? Perfect for your first time thrifting! MCS is also just across Little Tokyo, so you might want a Japanese food trip after your shopping haul (since you saved your wallet a bunch of cash thanks to cheap ukay finds!)
Price Range: PHP 100.00 – PHP 450.00
Address: Makati Square, Chino Roces Ave, Legazpi Village, Makati
This is considered to be the best Ukay place for thrift shop experts. The Anonas Mall is 4-storeys high and you could just imagine what you can find in all those floors! Most bloggers choose this place as their favorite and it might be yours, too!
It’s really convenient to go here: you just ride the LRT 2 to Anonas Station and then go the exit and it will lead you to the mall. Happy shopping!
Price Rage: PHP 50.00 – PHP 300.00
Address: Anonas, Quezon City
Ukay-Ukay, Tagaytay
While enjoying the nice breeze in Tagaytay, you might want to drop by a famous Ukay place there so you can have a souvenir!
This Ukay hub went viral just recently for all the right reasons. The place is surprisingly big and offers a lot of items—clothes, belts, bags, shoes, and even toys for kids! It isn’t that cheap like in Carriedo, but the diversity and the open space is worth going to.
PS: The bags there are actually good. If it weren’t for the color, I would’ve bought a nice laptop bag.
Personally, this is my favorite. Every time I go to Baguio, I make sure I drop by the Night Market to make a haul. For, at most PHP 20.00, you can get fur coats and other fancy jackets that will cost a lot in stores!
Aside from clothes, the Night Market offers many things: food, wallet, gadgets, accessories, bags, caps, socks, pajamas—you name it. You can find many trinkets to your liking as long as you’re willing to explore the whole market that stretches up to a kilometer!
This is only open from 9PM to 1AM, so ready yourself and try to have fun in this unique Baguio experience!
Price Range: PHP 20.00 – PHP 500.00
Address: Bayanihan Center, Otek Street, near Burnham Park
Dark siko and tuhod are common beauty problems. They can either be caused by genes or too much exposure to the sun or the buildup of thick and dead skin formed by the friction or pressure in elbows or knees. They are the reasons some women refrain from wearing sleeveless blouses and shorts or skirts.
But good news, there are ways to lighten them.
1. Kojie San Skin Lightening soap, PHP50, The SM Store
Its powerful kojic acid and moisturizing coconut oil and glycerine can do wonders to the dark areas in a month or so.
Each tube is packed with tamarind extracts, which help whiten the areas; aloe vera extracts, which sooth them; alpha hydroxy acids, which can smoothen skin and reduce the dryness; plus vitamins A, C, and E.
Its packaging primarily targets those with dark underarms and bikini area. But eight people claimed it works on elbows and knees, too.
Preventing melanin formation, whitening dark spots, and reducing skin pigmentation are these ingredients: Glutathione, encapsulated Vitamin C and Bellis Perennis (Daisy) Flower extracts.
Its gel form is said to be absorbed faster by the skin.
