Acne is not just a thing experienced by teenagers. According to the International Derma Institute, about 40 to 55 percent of adults ages 20 to 40 suffer from persistent acne. Most of the time, adult acne does not only affect your face but also your body. If red annoying pimples on your torso or arms prevent you from wearing that two-piece swimsuit you’re eyeing, try a body wash that contains a germ-fighting formula. Safeguard’s dermatologically tested Derma Sense line is known to gently cleanse acne prone skin. Just make sure to apply some lotion to keep your skin moisturized afterwards.


2. Celeteque’s Back Acne Spray

What it’s for: Intense back acne
Price: PhP320 for 50mL

Can’t wear any backless clothing for fear of showing the pimples on your back? Back acne sprays are the answer to your prayers. They’re convenient to carry around and applying them won’t be as hard compared to creams. Celeteque DermoScience’s Acne Solutions line includes a back acne spray infused with hydroxy acids which target dead skin cells—one of the causes of blemishes and acne. Spray the product directly on the affected area after bathing, and make sure to let it dry before getting dressed.



3. Beauty Bakery’s Skin Perfecting Underarm Scrub

What it’s for: Dark or rough underarms
Price: PhP225

Not all pits are perfect, and genes, shaving, or deodorant use all play a role in making this true. Underarm issues make it hard to wear a bikini to the beach without feeling conscious with every movement of the arms. Want to ditch your rash guard and wear something sleeveless for a change? The Beauty Bakery’s Skin Perfecting Underarm scrub is a one-stop treatment for various armpit issues. It promises not only to lighten skin, leave it smooth, and diminish odor, but also to make scars from shaving less visible with consistent use.


4. Mambino Naturals’ Anti-Cellulite Smoothing Body Oil, Arabica Coffee + Juniper

What it’s for: Cellulites
Price: USD26 or PhP1,355*

Over 80 to 90 percent of women will probably experience cellulite in their life.

Cellulites have been every woman's worst enemy through the years. Usually caused by dietary and hormonal factors, cellulite is the lumpy appearance on skin usually found in the thighs and buttocks. One of the things known to help diminish its appearance is coffee, which has skin tightening and firming properties. Coffee is also one of the key ingredients in Mambino Natural’s Anti-Cellulite Smoothing Body Oil. This beauty product also contains organic ingredients such as jojoba oil for repairing weakened skin tissues; juniper berry fruit oil for stimulating the lymphatic system; argan oil for skin healing; and a blend of grapefruit and lemongrass for reducing water retention.


5. Mederma Stretch Marks Cream

What it’s for: Stretch marks
Price: PhP1,275 for 150g
PhP850 for 50g at BeautyMNL

Often caused by either rapid weight loss or weight gain, stretch marks are scars that develop when the skin stretches quickly. Recently pregnant women also develop this over time. These marks can often be found around the hips, legs, or butt area. Many products in the market address this pesky condition, and one of them is Mederma’s Stretch Marks Therapy Cream. It helps in reducing stretch marks by hydrating your skin to increase its elasticity. Among its list of ingredients is Hyaluronic acid, which gives moisture to dehydrated skin. This paraben-free product is fit for all skin types.



6. Bare Body Essentials’ Varicose Veins Gel Cream

What it’s for: Varicose veins
Price: PhP280 for 35ml

About 70 percent of women have varicose veins.

Varicose veins, which usually appear on legs, are enlarged, twisted, and highly visible veins. While it does not trigger any health concerns, it is usually a cosmetic concern. If you’re trying to stay away from swimsuits because of these, you can try to lighten them. Barebody’s Varicose Veins Gel Cream contains aloe vera, seaweed, and peppermint. It also contains capsaicin—an anti-inflammatory and analgesic that reduces the size of the varicose veins.


7. Bioaqua Pink Cherry Lightening Cream

What it’s for: Dark bikini area
Price: PhP495

You can also use BioAqua’s pink cherry lightening cream on your lips to give them a pinkish glow.

Dark inner thighs are also another problem for most Filipinas. Luckily, there are lightening creams available to reduce the hyperpigmentation in the area. Bioaqua’s Pink Cherry Lightening Cream is a gentle bleaching cream that can lighten your bikini line, as well as scars and other dark areas. It is rich in botanical ingredients such as cherry oshima extracts, which contains vitamins A, B, and E. Vitamin A is also useful against sun damage, slows down signs of aging, and encourages healthy skin cell reproduction. Vitamin B is known to reduce free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation. Lastly, Vitamin E is an antioxidant that is useful for repairing and restoring the skin’s condition.
