Sebamed Deodorant Roll-On Active


Hello everyone,

I'm going to bring a subject that may feels sensitive for some people, I know for sure body odor is not a discussion we are willing to make in a crowd, it's something that we still reluctantly share while whispering.

Now, deodorant is a product that has been in the market for decades and comes in many variations, type and range. In the end, we have to choose a product that beneficial, one for eliminating or reducing the smell, and the other is for the safety, as some brand does contain dangerous ingredients that has been linked to skin problem to cancer (yikes!).

-*-

Here is one deodorant from Sebamed collection, they do carry varieties of deodorant, from roll-on to spray, mine is Roll-On in Active.

Details from www.sebamed.com:
Prevents body odour without impairing the
natural function of the sweat glands
  • Supports and protects the natural barrier function of the skin’s acid mantle
  • With the pH value of 5.5 of healthy skin
  • Without preservatives and colour additives
Product features:
  • Without metal derivatives or harmful chemical additives
  • Active deodorizing ingredient Triethyl Citrate specifically inhibits growth and metabolism of body odour causing bacteria
  • Reliable protection
  • Does not impede the physiological functions of the sweat glands
  • pH value of 5.5 supports natural ecological system of the skin for natural deodorizing protection
  • 3 choices of perfume - Active, Blossom and Fresh
-*-




Reading the details makes me feel safe in using it, now, it's testing time, is it able to conquer a pregnant lady sweats and body odor? I feel hot most of the time due to the pregnancy and I do sweat more.

First the scent, it is a bit masculine, but still usable by an active women out there (like me). When used, the product feels comfortable and dries quite fast. In terms of usage of a deodorant roll-on it is always best to let the product dries up before putting on clothes, so drying time is important, if it's too long (more than 1-2 minutes) it would be a troublesome for a busy momma. So Sebamed Roll-on Active that dries up within a minute considered good, helpful and practical.

Next is the ability to eliminate odor, for me who needs a heavy duty deodorant, the roll on last maximum 5 hours in an active mode, meaning: going from event to event and sweats due to the walking and office activities. If you are someone like me, always prepare a baby wipes to clean up the armpit then let it dry before reapplying in the middle of the day and you'll be fresh again.

If you are a mild odory-person (which means in a level of smelliness you're on 5 or 6 out of 10 .....where I'm 10) this deodorant will be enough for the whole day without the need of touch up.

Why I love this product?
It doesn't 'clogged' the sweat glands, so perspiration is still normal and natural, hence, no sensitivity nor itchiness felt afterwards. This is good for a long term usage since the product wont irritate the skin.

Thank you Sebamed Indonesia.

Grand Opening of GlamGlow Boutique at Plaza Indonesia with Glenn and Shannon Dellimore


Hello everyone!!

Yesterday was an exciting day, GlamGlow is opening their boutique in Jakarta, Indonesia. Located at Plaza Indonesia 4th floor, this place is screaming with glam.

-*-




GlamGlow is created by a husband and wife, their products are now well-known to be used by the a-listed at Hollywood.

You may read it here: http://www.glamglowmud.com/about/

-*-

Their story may started as simple as two people hanging out with their actors friends and want to fulfill their needs in products that provide 'camera-ready' looking skin. Within months doors seems opened up to them and more opportunities to share their products not just within Hollywood but throughout USA and the world.

-*-

Beauty enthusiasts and celebrities seems to can't get enough of this mud, Youth Mud and Super Mud to be precise and they are the inspirations for the decoration of the boutique as well.

-*-

Based in Hollywood the GlamGlow is making more ways to Indonesia, even before the boutique is opened, Beauty Box has sold them regularly with an astonishing sales record. Care to try one yourself?

-*-

GlamGlow comes in 5 variant according to usage, 2 of them has been available here in Indonesia, Youth Mud and Super Mud. I've tried the Youth Mud before and not a fan of the tingling to sting effect on my first trial, do you know what Glenn and Shannon says about this? Keep on using it as it is a sign of the products are working.

Now, they gave me the SuperMud so I can try on this variant which is said to be gentler and more suitable for daily usage where the YouthMud is suggested for 1-2 times a week.

-*-

Don't forget to stop by at the boutique and learn more about YouthMud and SuperMud.

-*-

Perhaps you can try them as well ^__^ hopefully like said on the website, they provide a 'try before you buy' policy.

-*-

Immediately after a stop by at the boutique I move along to Moovina where Glenn and Shannon Dellimore are. They are sharing their stories, products and the experience in using the product, yes, live! Glenn is using a brush and applying the mud to everyone's nose.

-*-

Last but not least, a friend lend them an Emmy Award heehee, so we all get to take pictures with that. 


-*-


Below is an impromptu video made during the event, Glenn was so excited and eager to make one, I was really caught off guard, hence sorry for the lack of makeup and my soft voice (I'm down with flu). Nevertheless, I'm really happy he made me do one, 1. He gets to greet all of you. 2. Shannon gets to greet all of you. 3. You can catch his "live and energetic" persona on video. 4. And when an image means a thousand words, a video can do more ^__^

-*-


Thank you so much GlamGlow Indonesia, Glenn and Shannon Dellimore and everyone here reading my post and watching the video.

Don't forget to try on the mud yourself!!!

Sebamed Feminine Intimate Wash Sensitive

Hello ladies,

I'm back with more products from Sebamed, this time it's the Feminine Intimate Wash.

Here are some details from www.sebamed.com:

FEMININE INTIMATE WASH pH 3.8

Soap-free feminine intimate wash for gentle
external cleansing with a pH value of 3.8
specific for the microflora balance
  • Supports and protects the natural barrier function of the skin's acid mantle
  • With the pH value of 3.8 of healthy skin
Product features:
  • pH value of 3.8 supports the ecological balance of normal micro-flora, for genital protection
  • Regular use supports the acid mantle against pathogenic micro-organisms
  • 100% soap and alkali-free
  • Natural organic derivative tensid complex for extra mild cleansing
  • Effective soothing and antibacterial properties of alpha bisabolol, the active ingredient of camomile
  • Aloe barbadensis activates the moisture content of the skin
  • Supports and protects the natural barrier function of the skin's acid mantle
  • With the pH value of 3.8 of healthy skin
-*-

As usual a full description and details are provided by Sebamed, the product has been clinically tested, have pH3.8, contain a soothing antibacterial, and so on. The feminine intimate wash actually comes in 2 variant, one is sensitive and the other is for women who reached menopause. Mine is the Sensitive.

-*-

The product contain 200ml in a bottle, the clear gel is so soft and feels gentle as well. The parfum is faint and delicate, let's face it, no one wants an excessive perfume in their private area, as it might irritate the area.

The product can be used anytime during period or not, I use it two times a day during showers.

-*-

As directed, use a few drops only, rinse it off with clean water afterwards, my tips is make sure your hands are clean before touching your private areas and a tip from my gyane is always clean your private area from the front to the back during potty time so the germs from 'behind' wont get into you. When using panty liners, make sure to change them often, like once every 2-3 hours or they'll cause more problem than helping out. Same goes with when having a period, change the pad regularly and as often as needed.

-*-



Conclusion:

I really enjoy the gentleness of the product, the rinsing formula is calming, use it as directed and rinse it off well, no need to wait or let it sit for a while. The product is made in carefulness and based on research that I can feel safe about. Use it when needed. The area applied is only the outer part of your vagina, not the one inside, the Feminine Intimate Wash is to be used on your labia area. The product offers a clean feeling without worries, no over-the-top fragrance and doubting ingredients.

Thank you Sebamed Indonesia.
