Shop the Best Whitening System at Diana Stalder

Having milky white skin gives a person unspeakable advantages. It can improve one’s confidence and self-esteem. In our country, white is synonymous to beauty. Filipinas today desire to get whiter skin but not to look exactly like Caucasians.

We are already proud of our Asian features, all we want is to improve and enhance them. What we all want and are obsessed with, is having fair skin; but are all skin whitening treatments safe, particularly on prolonged usage? The answer is NO, because there are certain bleaching preparations available in the market which may cause harmful effects on the skin. The most common of which, are the Irritant Contact Dermatitis and Ochronosis.

Irritant Contact Dermatitis is a skin condition caused by direct chemical injury to the skin causing skin rashes and severe itchiness, while Ochronosis is a pigmentary disorder of the skin caused by prolonged use of creams containing Hydroquinone and Mercury.

Hydroquinone, when used over a long period of time, can cause Exogenous Ochronosis (where skin turns bluish or black). While it is true that it is an effective skin whitening compound because it inhibits the production of melanin to cause the whitening of skin color, it can also damage our pigment cells when improperly used.

Mercury, on the other hand, particularly the ammoniated type, which is the most common in Chinese bleaching cream preparations, may cause Ochronosis even in very low concentration if used for a longer period of time. Its cumulative effect may damage the kidneys or even cause neurological effects.

Diana Stalder offers a variety of skin whitening preparations and kits which have undergone clinical trials and studies to address the pigmentary skin problems without causing untoward effects to the skin and assuring the consumers of its safety.

To help you relax and rejuvenate after work, here’s Casmara Nacar Treatment. It is a professional personalized skin lightening and illuminating treatment in single-dose phases combined with benefits of an algae peel off mask. It cleanses, exfoliates and whitens the skin, targeting skin color, localized or diffused marks.

It effectively helps your skin look younger, delaying signs of ageing.
This treatment offers the largest number of whitening and illuminating active ingredients in the world, with 10 active ingredients for illuminating and skin lightening properties as it works directly on melanogenesis process. You may also visit Diana Stalder clinics for a free skin analysis and counseling by skilled therapists.

Different Whitening Active Ingredients
1. Tyrostat is a strong inhibitor of tyrosinase enzymatic activity, one of the main enzymes involved in the pigmentation process. It has higher activity than arbutin, turmeric, and hydroquinone and with no unwanted side effects. It safely reduces skin pigmentation and erythema by limiting both melanin production and skin reddening for an even skin complexion.
2. Beta arbutin is a superb ingredient produced from the bearberry leaves, cranberry, and blueberry. Its primary goal is to prevent tyrosinase production in the body.
3. Glutathione is really a pioneer in whitening systems. It is often found in soaps, ointments, lotions, creams and in pills. Its antioxidant properties help you to get whiter skin.
4. Licorice is a great ingredient for skin whitening purpose and well-known for its special ability to suppress tyrosinase (melanin production catalyst) production. The substance has anti-inflammatory components, hence can lessen sunburn effects.
5. Kojic acid suppresses enzyme tyrosinase production in the body and impede melanin formation. With this, skin whitening is guaranteed. Primarily, kojic acid is produced from the mushroom family, the same fermented by-product used to produce ‘rice wines’.

Body Whitening Scrub is the combination of body scrub and bleaching. Hence, the procedure will provide even colored, glowing and health-looking skin.
In order to achieve a skin that is white as snow, here are some examples of food that you should include in your meals as these can boost skin whitening. These are dairy products (i.e, milk and yogurt), fresh fruits (i.e, lemon, orange, apple, banana, papaya, berries, and kiwi), oatmeal, soybean, almond, aloe vera, sea weeds, potato, beetroot, pumpkin, green tea and dark chocolate. On the other hand, foods that you need to limit intake are cantaloupe, mango, peach, spinach, kale, sweet potato, olive oil, broccoli, and red bell pepper since they are known to affect skin pigmentation thereby causes skin tanning.

Nowadays with such a busy lifestyle, it has become difficult to take time out to care for our skin. Since everyone has to eat no matter how busy we are; adding skin whitening food to our diet is a must as it can help us with our complexion. Good thing that DS Café is now available through Food Panda so we can have it delivered right at your doorstep. We cater at Cubao and Mandaluyong areas.

Review: Ang Babaeng Allergic sa WIFI (No Spoilers to mga vakla !)

Yung naisip ko na paano ka pala mabubuhay kung wala kang wifi? vs Paano ka mabubuhay ng walang jowa? Charot. Mahirap mamili diba?  Naisip ko din na mabuti na lang di pa uso yung internet, wifi, cellphone na android, iphone, facebook, google, instagram and twitter nung nag aaral ako. Naku, nakikini kinita ko na mangyayari sa ken. Hahahaha.

Nung nareceived ko yung invite kay Ed of whereiseduy.com na manood ng special screening ng Ang Babaeng Allergic sa Wifi. Sabi ko tungkol ba sa millennial yan? Love story? Eh nung nakita ko na si Jun Lana yung director, gow na agad ako. Eh halos lahat ng pelikula ni Direk Jun gusto ko eh. Kaya winner na agad sa ken Ang Babaeng Allergic sa Wifi. Haba ng title lang hahaha. Tagal itype sa insta hahaha.  The movie stars Sue Ramirez, Jameson Blake, Marcus Paterson, under IdeaFirst Company,  October Train Films and Cignal Entertainment.

Eto na yung review ko.

Yung unang bungad sa screen lakas maka instagram story ng color yellow with background na orange na naka volks si Sue aka Norma. Para syang naka preset sa pastel. Basta ang ganda ng cinematography, na capture yung ganda ng lugar sa Batangas at Subic. Yung burol at tulay, ang ganda ng shot. Parang sarap puntahan.  Pansin ko lang laging naka yellow tops si Sue dito.

Anyway, ang simple lang naman ng istorya, tungkol eto sa magkapatid na Leo (Marcus Paterson) at Aries (Jameson Blake) . Girlfriend ni Leo si Norma (Sue Ramirez). Napag alaman na allergic sa wifi si Norma, because nagno nose bleed sya tuwing naka internet or naka wifi. That's why, yung parents nya napilitan syang dalhin sa province ng kanyang lola so that maka breath ng fresh air and mawala sa social media, dahil di naman abot ng wifi yung place ng lola nya. Spoiler na ba to? I hope hinde.

Sa umpisa alam mo agad na typical millennial love story to na makakarelate lahat ng millennials and the not so millennial like me. Medyo maaalala mo lang yung time na panu ka din na inlove at nawasak ang puso mo ng impakto. Hahaha. Ang nakakatuwa lang kase sa movie is napaarte ni Direk Jun Lana yung tatlong bida. Revelation si Jameson Blake dito dahil surprisingly magaling syang umarte, di pilit, natural na natural lang. While si Marcus ganun din naman, pero mas angat si Jameson Blake para sa ken. Same with Sue, maayos din naman yung character nya as Norma. Revelation din yung sidekick ni Jameson, yung babaeng sidekick na matalak,  si Macha (Angelie Sanoy).

Di ko lang napigilan talaga yung maiyak bandang huli ng movie, nakakainis lang na bakit nangyari yun, naisip ko baka may remedyo pa. Pero alam mo yung wala na talaga. Tsk tsk. Sakit sa dibdib. Ganitong ganito yung naramdaman ko sa Meet You in St Gallen. Hagulgol. Yung di ka na makahinga sa sakit.


Ah etong Ang Babaeng Allergic sa WIFI ay entry sa Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino. Panoorin nyo po sa August 15 na! Magdala kayo ng kasama tsaka panyo. Kakailanganin mo silang dalawa sa oras ng panonood. Maniwala ka sa ken.

BlueWater Day Spa Finds A New Home in Banawe, QC

When my partner was still working in Makati, we would always make time to visit the BlueWater Day Spa near his office.


Getting a massage has become a monthly habit for us and we’d rather spend our date night getting a Swedish or deep tissue massage than doing anything else. It’s a good way to de-stress especially after a long week filled with events.

We’ve also visited their Greenhills (Ortigas) branch a couple of times and we love the place because you immediately get that relaxing feeling the moment you step through their doors.

I just love their zen-like ambiance, and their towels and linens always smell good and clean.

The problem is now that we don’t go to Makati that much we had to find other spa’s that are nearer our house. And few could compare to BlueWater Day’s quality of service—and price!

So we were both glad that they now opened another branch at Banawe, QC. Which is a nearer our  place. And with all the rains and the traffic, reaching Banawe is just 30-45 minutes away compared to having to drive for a couple of hours to reach Greenhills or Makati. It’s a welcome respite to all those living near the area.

Even better is that Bluewater Day Spa is offering a P499 promo and you could choose either Foot Reflexology, Brazilian Foot Massage, Athlete Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Swedish Massage or even Pregnancy Massage.

They also have a P999 Body Scrub Promo with either Olive scrub, green tea scrub, pomegranate scrub and botanical rice or milk scrub services.

Promo is good until October 31.

We attended the grand opening just last week and Bluewater Day Spa is located at the One Banawe Center. The ribbon-cutting ceremonies were attended by Bing Limjoco (Philippine Chamber of Commerce President), Ms Mary Simisim (CEO), Christian Bautista, Ms Thia Thomalia (Ms Eco-Tourism), Benjamin Alves, David Licauco, Janeena Chan, Ervic Vijandre and Mr Carlo Orosa.

Bluewater Day Spa celebrated the successful grand opening with a official ribbon-cutting ceremony of another branch at Banawe, Quezon City – one of the busiest business districts in the metro.

BlueWater Day Spa began to cater to beauty and wellness needs in 2005, offering an array of pampering services that include unique massages, non-invasive facial and body treatments, waxing, hand and foot treatments, and even spa parties.
Customers can now max up the comfort as spa treatment services are uniquely offered with movie-watching experience through the Spa Theatres. BlueWater Day Spa Banawe offers two spa theatres that seat eleven and nine people, respectively.

Also, BlueWater Day Spa Banawe Branch proudly offers top of the line amenities as well as new treatments such as Deep Tissue Massage and Oxygen Facial Therapy Machine Treatment that satisfy the relaxation needs of their customers. The spa is also surrounded by professional and hospitable staff who keep a serene and stress-fee ambiance all around.

Promos that offer Spa Treats are now up for grabs until October 31, 2018! Foot Reflexology, Brazilian Foot, Athlete, Deep Tissue, Swedish and Pregnancy Massage can now be availed of at only 499 pesos. Whilst, whole body scrubs such as Olive, Green Tea, Pomegranate and Botanical and Milk scrubs, are now offered at only 999 pesos.

Come celebrate the opening of Bluewater Day Spa at Banawe branch and feel pampered where the celebrities come for their spa treatments.
