V&M Products Safe During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is one of the joys of womanhood, as they say it is a way of getting company inside one’s skin. Which is why it is imperative for pregnant women to practice self-care even more when bearing a child. One way to do so is through skin care since so many changes happen to a woman’s complexion during this time. And because here at V&M Naturals, we aim to help as many people as we can through the use of all-natural products, we want you to know what items you can use to get even more confident with your skin.

Face masks are a great way to refine the pores, increase hydration, diminish signs of aging, even skin tone and firm the skin. To get all this and more, try our Ferment Face Masks. If you are after a brighter, more glowing, and more moisturized skin that also soothes inflammations, opt for *Sake Ferment Face Mask. But if you want to deeply cleanse your heavily clogged pores, then try our *Wakamine Ferment Face Mask and be left with a fresh and revitalized feeling.

Most pregnant women have very sensitive skins, which is why they need to use products that are very gentle – the very thing to describe *Clear Y Rosy Face and Body Scrub. It gets rid of dirt, dead skin cells, and blemishes, leaving the skin fresher and brighter. After exfoliating, cleanse your face to remove any more dirt residue. Try *Shades of Shave to effectively clean the face, soothe irritations, and protect the skin from sun damage.

After cleansing, tone the skin to remove excess oil, stubborn grime and makeup residue, as well as prep the skin for your moisturizers and serum. For this, try our Happy Pores Toners that comes in 5 variants: *Cucumber + Guava Leaf, *Rosewater + Aloe, *Witch Hazel, *Orange Flower, and *Chamomile Water. Opt for the latter, as it is the mildest among all, to get its gentle blend to work wonders on your sensitive skin.

Just before you get your moisturizer, you can add one more step to your regimen to get that natural glow everyone dreams of achieving. Use *CPC + G Oil in the morning to brighten the skin and give it the nutrients it needs. And on night time, use *Total Potion for incredible moisturization and lightening of dark spots. With these two, you will surely get a more radiant complexion and younger-looking skin.

All that cleansing you did is great in getting rid of impurities but it has also stripped your skin of its natural oils and moisture. So after cleansing, use *Eternal Pearl to give back the skin’s hydration. This also stimulates collagen production and skin renewal. After moisturizing, you need to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Try our *Keep Safe Tinted Sunscreen that not only the keeps the skin safe from UVA and UVB, but also evens the skin tone and keeps it hydrated throughout the day.

Taking baths is one of the easiest ways to relax after a long day of stress. And this becomes a hundred times better with the Salt Of The Himalayas Bath Soak, as this wonder contains a large amount of minerals that are essential to our health – including calcium, iron, potassium, and zinc. This product also effectively helps in soothing allergies, reducing tension, and unwinding the mind.

Pregnancy can make many parts of a woman’s body more sensitive, especially the intimate areas. And for that, we highly recommend using our Healthy Intimates Feminine Foaming Cleanser in Flora and Fresh. These are made of gentle ingredients that effectively moisturize and refresh your skin down there.

As women, shaving or waxing unwanted hair is something that we’re already quite used to. However, the former can be hard to do especially with a growing human inside while the latter can become prohibited at times. So, to continue being able to flaunt your style without having to worry about unwanted hair, try our *Miracle Promise Bikini and Underarm Creme. This wonderful creation can effectively delay the growth of hair, as well as deodorize and lighten the skin. With this, you won’t have to suffer from the consequence that is razor burns!

Many soon-to-be mommies can become ashamed for having rough and dark areas on their skin during pregnancy. However, this should not stop such amazing women from being confident to strut their baby bumps! And with the use of our No-Rinse Salves, everywhere will surely be a runway. Use *Bikini Bomb to achieve a younger-looking, brighter and pinkish glow, as it micro-peels dark areas and spots and try *Exfobomb to get rid of dead skin cells, getting lighter and more moisturized skin in return.

Our underarms are one of the most used parts of our body, making it vulnerable to stress and wear that can result to darkening and unwanted smell. This, plus our habits of plucking, shaving and waxing can ultimately lead to having less confidence in raising your arm or just wearing spaghettis whenever you want. But with our *Underarmour Deodorant, you can get back that confidence as this amazing product counteracts unpleasant odor, moisturizes and gently brightens the skin with each use. Choose from its variants: Acai + Mulberry and Aloe Tea + Licorice Mint.

Hair loss is something that many people go through, may it be due to age, hereditary, or stress. But you won’t have to suffer from this anymore with the help of Hair I Am, a hair booster that reactivates the hair growth and soothe the scalp to prevent irritations leading to hair loss. The formulation has been created to effectively enrich each strand, from root to tip, for shinier, stronger, and fuller locks.

Having the perfect shampoo and conditioner is one great way to maintain the overall health of your hair and scalp. So, for healthier scalp, bouncier and more manageable tresses, try using our Lichen + Coffee Shampoo and Conditioner. These two work together in protecting the hair, healing and moisturizing the scalp, repairing damaged strands, and fighting odor-causing bacteria for a lustrous locks that fall perfectly from morning ‘til night.

Constant chemical treatments and heat styling can definitely damage the hair, which is why your locks need to be repaired from all the stress it has gone through. And, no, having just the right shampoo and conditioner is not enough because the right kind of treatment is what your tresses need. Try our Voila! Locks Deep Repair Hair Masque to reconstruct and revitalized damaged strands instantly.

As for makeup, you sure would get lasting wear with our new line. This not only gives you a matte finish and glowing look, but also makes your skin healthy in every use.

First, prime your face with Pure Glow Serum Primer (best for mestizas) or Summer Gold Serum Primer (best for morenas) to ensure your makeup lasts longer, as this will also give your skin the hydration it needs. These will also help in giving a clear and pore-less look, as well as improve the skin complexion.

During the rainy season, opt for a makeup formula that will easily adhere to the skin. Try our *Silk Serum Foundation - in Creme, Caramel, Hazelnut, Vanilla, and Toffee - for medium to full coverage that blends well, lasts long, and gives a matte finish.

Meanwhile, for humid days, go for powder foundation for a featherlight consistency perfect for the weather, as it can also absorb oil and prevent shine. Try our *Silk Powder Foundation - in Creme, Caramel, Hazelnut, Vanilla, and Toffee - to achieve that smooth, matte look.

Once you’re done with your makeup, set it in place using a translucent powder, so as not to add any more pigment to your foundation or cover your blush. Use our *Stay Rosy Translucent Micro-Powder to ensure your makeup lasts long and it doesn’t move, as well as give a bit of glow to your overall look.

*While all products use ingredients that are within safety parameters and is present in relatively SAFE amounts, special precautions must be observed as doses may accumulate over time and cause significant effects especially on leave on products. Pregnant women are advised to consult their doctors first before using cosmetic products as part of their routine. Directions for use must be followed properly and product use must be done with intervals of rest to avoid any unnecessary side effects for women undergoing pregnancy. Skin test for allergies must be performed before any product use.

Emu Oil
Fastest penetrating natural oil

What impressed me the most about this oil is how it superbly hydrates my oily skin throughout the night. Whenever I use this as my last step of skincare, I wake up the next morning with a perfectly matte face. That's a sign it really does its job of deeply nourishing my skin. No more greasy moments!” – Grace

Witch Hazel Toner
Cleanses the skin, prevents acne formation while giving a matte finish

I remember using these years back, and I still remember that I loved putting it on my skin. Well, fast forward now, I still love it! I have oily skin (especially the T-zone) and using this toner has helped in reducing the oil. I don't blot a lot like I used to! At times when I have allergies (dust or whatever), I use this to tame the itchiness. Truly, Happy Pores!” – Ruby

CPC + G Oil Lightening Blend
Effectively brightens the skin and gives it the nutrients it needs

I bought this product about 3 weeks ago and it has surely brightened my face and my acne scars! I have been using it on my underarms and knees lately, and so far it's the only product that has been effective for those areas. Super loving this product and will definitely repurchase this and recommend it! It's now one of my must-haves and for an excellent price too!” – Abigail

Wrinkle Revenge Eye Gel
Instantly firms the skin and improves elasticity for a younger look

I have only started using this a few days ago and was amazed to see the result the following morning after each usage. I woke up fresh without my sunken eyes. I will repurchase soon before I ran out.” – Kimberly

Smooch Detox Lip Balm
Hydrates, softens, and heals dry, chapped lips

This gave me healthier, more pinkish lips, as compared to my previous pale and smoker-like lips (I don't smoke). But this visibly improved the color and texture of my lips. The chapping also disappeared. The minty feel is a plus. No more dry winter lips for me. Everyone should try this. It's a Lip-saver!” - Ma. Theresa

Pearl Luminescene Pore-Refining Face Polish
Removes blemishes, freckles and dark spots for a more radiant skin

I am obsessed with this face mask/face scrub! Currently, I am on my 2nd jar. This is easy to apply and a little goes a long way. I use this twice a week and every time I wash it off, my face feels so soft, smooth and refreshed.” – Klarise

Bikini Bomb Moisturizing Salve
Moisturizes and lightens dark skin

I've been using this salve for 2 days and my partner noticed that my armpits and neck lightened! Honestly, I didn't believe him so I asked my cousin and she said yes too! I'm very happy I found this product.” – Rie

Exfobomb Exfoliating Salve
Smoothens and renews dark, rough skin

I love the thought of exfoliating without having to rinse it afterward. It leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized! The brightening effect does not happen overnight guys and it takes patience to see results but it does the job, slowly and surely!” – Shaira

Miracle Promise Hair Growth Deaccelerator
Delays unwanted hair growth, as it deodorizes and brightens the skin

I have had diode laser on my underarms, but there are still stubborn hair that grows. After my last diode session, I applied this and noted that it has significantly slowed down hair growth. I noticed also that my underarms were brighter and even toned.” – Ana

Pure Glow Serum Primer
Tightens pores, brightens the skin and gives superb hydration

Two weeks into using the product and I fell in love! I love that it smells good, very very gentle and light, improves the appearance of my pores, and it goes well with my mineral foundation, as I barely have to retouch! It gives that bright and fresh glow without the cakey fakey effect.” – Milrose

Show Love to Your Underarms and Stop Doing These 4 Things

Most, if not everyone, dream of smoother and brighter underarms for whenever they feel like going out in the sun and be a little freer. However, because these are parts of the body that are often used, they go through stress that can cause damage and darkening. And to make things worse, we subject them to even crazier habits thinking that these are ways we can save our pits. But the truth is we’re only doing more damage than good.

So, to get healthier underarms that you can flaunt anytime, here are 4 things you should stop doing to your armpits.

Plucking and shaving

Sure, everyone wants to get hair-free underarms. But using razors and tweezers to achieve this doesn’t really contribute anything good to the cause. If anything, these habits can make your armpits darker! Instead, have your underarms waxed by a professional. Although this is more expensive, it’s the kind of investment that’s worth every penny.

Over-scrubbing

Scrubbing can do wonders to the skin as this can remove grime, bacteria and dead skin. However, overdoing it can darken the underarms, since they are very sensitive. If you plan to scrub you pits, then use gentle exfoliators like our Exfobomb, a no-rinse salve that gets rid of dead skin cells and lightens the underarms after every use. This also helps in skin renewal and gives superb moisturization to dark rough skin.

Handmade whitening products/procedures

Everyone would agree how expensive underarm bleaching can be. That’s why more often than not, we take things into our own hands by buying whitening creams and soaps or using calamansi and lemon without first consulting the dermatologist. Give our CPC+G Oil a try, a blend of natural extracts, that effectively brightens the skin and makes it healthier as well.

Not wearing deodorant every single day

If you’re one of those people who have a love-hate relationship with deodorants, chances are you are not using one all the time – like you should. But deodorants are made with the purpose of inhibiting odor-causing bacteria, keeping sweat at bay and even brightening the skin. So, as long as you’ve got yourself the one that’s perfect of your underarms then you’re good to go. However, if you’re still on the lookout for that amazing deo, then try our Underarmour Deodorants in Aloe Tea + Licorice Mint and Acai + Mulberry, which effectively counteract unpleasant body odors and moisturize and detoxify the skin, while making it brighter.

Can’t wait to achieve brighter and smoother underarms? Go to our stores in SM MOA, SM Megamall, SM Southmall, SM North EDSA, SM Clark, Ayala 30th, Glorietta 3, UPTC, Shangri-La, Rockwell, or our Fairview HQ. You can also visit our website, Facebook or Instagram pages to know more.

 

 

Fast and Easy Makeup Routine to Achieve Glass Skin

As Korean bands and their songs sweep over the globe, one other thing about the country becomes known to many people around the world. Their world-class skin care products that millions of people swear by and even more have tried with great satisfaction. And one thing so many of us are obsessed with, is what’s called “glass skin”. This term is attributed to skin that is clear, pore-less and almost translucent that can be achieved with a magnificent skin care routine.

However, for those that don’t have this kind of complexion yet, here are 4 ways you can use your makeup to get that glass skin effect for your selfies.

Prime the skin.

To make your makeup routine more effective in achieving that sought-after glass skin, make sure to apply primer all over your face after moisturizing. This will help in giving a clear and pore-less look, as well as improving the skin complexion. Try using primers that give glow or radiance for that luminous effect, like our Pure Glow Serum Primer (best for mestizas) and Summer Gold Serum Primer (best for morenas).

Perfect your concealing game.

What makes glass skin such a fad is it’s even and flawless finish. Get this effect by using concealer in covering up dark circles and uneven areas, so as not to layer too much foundation on the face.

Opt for gel/cream blush.

Another feature of this trend is its natural flush. To achieve this healthy-looking blush, use a gel or cream formula to add a bit of color and glow to your cheeks.

Use a brightening powder.

Glassy is different from oily, so you’d still be needing a lightweight powder to control shine, but without giving you a really matte finish. Just make sure not to dab the powder and only apply on areas of the face that get super oily. Try our Stay Rosy Universal Translucent Micro-Powder that gives smooth and glowing skin while ensuring your makeup stays longer. This can also give a rosy tinge when touched by light for that radiant and youthful look.

The 6-Step V&M Regimen: A Fool-proof Way to a Clean, Healthy Face

As we have heard time and again, we are all unique individuals. Not a single thing about us or what we do is ever similar. And the same thing can be said about our beauty regimens because we differ in skin types. Also, we all have various skin woes that we want to be addressed, as well as needs that have to be met through our own discoveries.

And if this is the first time you’re trying to look for a routine that will help you achieve that clear, glowing skin then continue reading on and find out the 6-step V&M Naturals regimen for a more radiant and healthier complexion.

 

 The very first step to a clear skin is getting rid of whatever residue that has resided in our pores over the course of the day. And the best way to do this is through Exfoliating. This method should be done regularly (about 2-3 times a week) to ensure all the deep-seated dirt and grime are removed before they can cause havoc on the skin.

Best pickClear Y Rosy – a gentle scrub infused with Rosemary and Licorice Root extracts to clean, hydrate, smoothen and brighten the complexion by clearing the skin of blemishes, blackheads and dark spots.

Next thing that you need to do is Cleanse your face. Although you’ve already exfoliated your skin, it doesn’t mean that it’s already clean. There would surely be some more dirt and even excess oil that the first process hasn’t removed, making this step just as important.

Best pick: Shades of Shave – a cleanser infused with Sweet Orange to clean and protect the skin, soothe irritations and improve circulation after every wash.

Toning is the third step for this regimen. This step will help in ridding the skin of any more dirt that may not have been washed by your cleanser and scrub. Take note that it is important you use the toner that best fits your skin type since the wrong one may cause even more harm. Additionally, you should never forget this step because it will prepare your skin for whatever products you will be using next.

Best pick: Rosewater Toner – has mild astringent properties, through its actives Rose and Aloe vera extracts, that gently remove traces of dirt and residue, leaving the skin feeling cool and hydrated with regular use.

Another essential step for this regimen is Boosting, as this will give the skin that glow people want to achieve. This makes this particular regimen work because it gives back whatever vitamins your skin lacks.

Best pick: Total Potion – a serum that lightens dark spots, heals inflamed areas, fights free radicals, hydrates dry skin, and unclog pores because it has Alpha Hydroxyl Acid content through the active ingredient, tamarind. 

Not only should you strive for a clean skin, but also a well-nourished one, which is why it is necessary to Moisturize. All the cleansing you’ve done could definitely remove the natural oils of the skin that may cause it to dry. It is only then apt that we replenish those lost essentials that our skin needs to become healthy.

Best pick: Emu Oil – a natural oil with fatty acid content closest to the human skin pH, making it able to repair any damage from within without clogging the pores.

Lastly, you have to Protect your skin. This is a step often overlooked by many as they believe that all the sun can give is goodness for our complexion. However, the truth is it can contribute to the early appearance of skin aging. So, ensure that you slather sunscreen to keep your skin healthy and at its best condition.

Best pick: Keep Safe Tinted Sunscreen – protects the skin from the harmful damages of the sun, gives moisturization, and blends well with any skin tone.

The key to a clear, radiant, and healthy skin is sticking to a regimen that truly works for you. And this routine may just do that for you, so why not give it a try?

August Favorites: 5 V&M Naturals Products People Hoarded This Month

Another month has passed! And even with the rainy season on full-scale, many of our clients continue to show their love by hoarding their favorite products; especially during our last mega online sale. So, for those of you who want to know more about V&M Naturals, here are some products people have hoarded over the month of June.

This is my 5th product to try from V&M naturals, and so far, so awesome! One of the best physical exfoliants I've ever tried! Not only does it leave my face cleaner, softer and rid of dead skin. I literally have a glow right after I use this! I always reach out for this when my skin needs a pick me up (not more than twice a week though!) and it always delivers. Can't wait to repurchase even if I still have a lot!” - Abigail
I've been using this oil for a few weeks now and I can definitely see the effect on my skin. My dark spots on my chin and neck area due to pimple marks were not as prominent as before. I use this together with the orange essential oil as my spot corrector. I apply it mostly at night and as a moisturizer during the day as well. Lastly, I love the scent!” - Pamela
The holy grail of all serums! Got this out of curiosity and instantly loved it. Serum has a thick and clear consistency that is instantly absorbed by the skin upon application. I thought it would be sticky and heavy but it isn't! It gives the skin a good texture as base for moisturizer, sunblock and make up. Got all the bases covered for moisturizing the skin and brightening. After weeks of using this as a morning serum I noticed tightened pores AND gives the skin that "Korean glass skin" texture. Perfect power-packed serum in this tropical climate.” - Louise
I've been using this scrub weekly or when I really feel stressed from work because the smell relaxes me and it gently (yes GENTLY) exfoliates my skin. I use it also on my face - it's very safe. It doesn't leave harsh red marks on your skin as the granules are very small but it does the job of cleaning your skin and pores. I bought the large tub on my first try because it really smells good! I would recommend this to all of you because it delivers!" - Marian
This did a wonderful job at helping to fade those blemishes and soothing my skin. I used this in conjunction with the Pure Actives Tsubaki Oil and my skin just seemed to be at its healthiest state. 100% recommend this toner to anyone with oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin!” - Grace

3 Things You Need To Know Before Applying Your Liquid Lipstick

Leveling up your lipstick game can be too overwhelming with the number of lipstick brands out in the market. Not to mention the thousands of shades and consistency out there! So many, things need to be considered before buying one: longevity, moisturization, vibrancy, and many other things.

But to achieve a fool-proof lippie statement, you should remember these three things before applying your favorite liquid lipstick.

All you need is one swipe.
Liquid lipsticks are specifically formulated to give an opaque coat of color with just a single swipe. They are also buildable so if you want to achieve an intense color, then you can just add extra swipes later. You should also try using a lip liner so you can easily spread the lipstick without going over the shape of your lips. With liquid lipsticks, remember that patience is key!

Never wear liquid lipstick with a light or no-makeup look.
A colored lip is definitely a bold statement and going with a light or no-makeup look is unforgivable. So, you have to make sure that you at least do your brows, line your eyes and coat your lashes to balance out the vivid appearance of your lips.

Exfoliate and use lip balm.
If you plan to achieve a statement lip that lasts long, then you can’t forget to exfoliate your lips and use a lip balm before swiping your liquid lipstick. These steps ensure that you get well-moisturized lips and that your lippie sticks well for a longer time.

To enjoy your bold lip statement, try our Smooch Detox Lip Balm and Lip Scrubs in flavors Coco Vanille or Melon Loco before swiping your desired color (now on 30% off).

These three things aren’t that hard to memorize so, do so just before our Velvet Matte Lipsticks, Intense Hydration hit our stores soon!

10 Reasons Why You Might Be Breaking Out

Here’s the thing. More often than not, if we get to know our skin by heart, it becomes easier to create our own regimen to achieve that clear, glowing complexion and banish those pesky pimples that can be so annoying. However, no matter how amazing the products we use, acne can still form if we unknowingly do things that contribute to breakouts!

So, to give you an idea what habits can start the formation of acne, here are 10 reasons why you may be breaking out.

1. Overuse of spot treatments.

Sometimes, when we get an acne a couple of days before a special event, we tend to overuse on topical pimple treatments such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. This may dry out the skin and cause it to release more oil and blemishes. Instead of highly-chemicalized products, you may opt for our Emu Oil, which has essential contents that resemble that of the human skin; making it effective in treating conditions such as acne.

2. Use of comedogenic products.

You may not be aware of this but there are some skin care or makeup products in the market that contain ingredients, which may clog the pores. Some of these include mineral oil (mostly found in lotions) and silicones (often incorporated in makeups). So, make sure that the items you use are labeled noncomedogenic: products that have been formulated specifically not to clog the pores.

3. Hair product ingredients clogging pores.

You may be unknowingly using products that clog the pores, like your shampoo and conditioner. These can have agents that seep to the pores and clog them, resulting to acne on the chest, back and hairline. To avoid this, make sure you rinse away these products from your skin. You can also try our hair care products: Lichen + Coffee Shampoo and Conditioner and Voila Locks so you get softer, shinier skin without getting pesky acne!

4. Scrubbing the skin too hard.

I know, how irritating and frustrating it can be to have acne. But scrubbing way too harshly on your skin won’t really help because it can cause more damage than good. Instead, be gentle on the skin and use mild products that effectively clean the pores, like our Clear Y Rosy, Shades of Shave, Orange Water Toner and Emu Oil.

5. Not washing face and body after wearing makeup and working out.

It’s this easy: if you don’t wash your body/face and leave your skin with makeup, dirt, and oil to mix with your sweat, it’s so much easier for the bacteria to reside in your pores and cause breakouts. So, if you can’t shower right after going to the gym, at least wipe your face, chest and back with facial wipes to minimize the formation of new pimples. To effectively remove your makeup, you can use our Ultra Nourishing Tonics and be confident no trace of dirt will be left on your face.

6. Not wearing sunscreen.

The sun doesn’t help in clearing your skin of acne. If anything, it worsens the condition because it dries out the skin, which triggers the increase of oil production that leads to the formation of zits. So, if you have plans to stay under the sun for a long period of time, make sure you wear sunscreen to give your skin the protection it needs from the harmful effects of the sun; just like what Keep Safe Sunscreen can do.

7. Popping zits/Constantly touching skin.

Trust me, I know how tempting it is to pick at your skin at the sight of a blemish. But that won’t fix the problem, as this may only result in the formation of scars or spreading of the bacteria underneath the skin. This will be hard, but try not to touch your skin so as not to transfer bacteria and just let your pimples heal on their own.

8. Eating certain food that can trigger breakouts.

There are certain foods that can trigger pimple breakouts especially if someone is allergic to the foods’ components. So, if you have noticed that your skin reacts differently to a certain food, try cutting this from your diet or limiting consumption. Also, ensure that you always have a healthy meal every time you eat (I know this is hard but you have to try!).

9. Smoking cigarette.

Not only is smoking bad for your health, it is also one of the culprits of acne. This is because the carcinogens in cigarettes irritate the skin and dry it out, which triggers the skin to produce more oil that leads to breakouts. So, stop smoking!

10. Not releasing stress.

Too much stress can trigger the production of stress hormones that increase oil production, which leads to acne formation. And having acne can then result to even more stress. So, get out of this cycle by working out or meditating regularly. You can also try diffusing Bergamot, Ylang-Ylang, Frankincense, and Lemongrass Essential Oils to help ease your mind from worries.

I know these are a lot of things to avoid. But trust us, it’s worth it!
