Multi Effect 8 Products of Nivea for Men: I'm a New User

I am not one who uses facial cleansers, washes or gels, but after attending the Nivea for Men Multi Effect 8 event last night at the 360 Degree Fitness Club in Makati, I became curious about it and as soon as I got home, I tried the Nivea for Men Multi Effect 8 Face Wash and the Multi Effect 8 Moisture Gel. When I woke up this morning, I used the products again (the recommended use is every morning and evening) and it's no joke, I really felt the difference on my skin right away - that's after two uses! I guess that's why these new products claim to fight 8 main problems of oily skin.

I was shocked to find the skin on my face so supple and moisturized after using the Nivea for Men Multi Effect 8 products twice. I guess this is how ladies feel as well after discovering new beauty products that provide noticeable effects right away.

At last night events, I received two sets of Nivea for Men products and when I got home, I started sorting them and set aside the ones that I can use regularly. I thought that since I got them for free, I might as well try them and see how effective they are. So, I was really positively surprised of its immediate effect on my face that I had to write this post right away.

According to Nivea's research, men encounter problems with their face too. In fact they identified eight (8) main problems of having oily skin (which is the kind of skin I have):

1. Excessive Oiliness
2. Oily Shine on Face/Skin
3. Enlarged & Clogged Pores
4. Dry skin feeling after cleansing
5. Uneven & impure look
6. Formation of blackheads
7. Formation of whiteheads
8. Acne

Against these problems, Nivea for Men Philippines launched the Multi Effect 8 line of products, particularly the Face Wash and the Moisture Gel, the two products I curiously set aside even before getting to read what they can do for me.

The Multi Effect 8 line of products claim these benefits:

1. Long-lasting control of skin oiliness
2. Remove oily shine
3. Prevent blackheads & whiteheads
4. Help to prevent pimples
5. Unclog, tighten and refine pores
6. Refresh the skin
7. Prevent dry and taut skin feeling
8. Smoothen and even out the skin

I would say that I immediately felt benefits 5,6,7 and 8 after using the Nivea for Men Multi Effect 8 Face Wash and Moisture Gel. As for the other benefits, I plan to continue using the two products to find out if they will indeed take effect.

Cortal SQR Continues Support for Philippine Football

Last Wednesday, two football teams under the Philippine flag were present in a press conference as Cortal SQR continued to show their support for Philippine football.

PHP 200,000 was also turned over to the Philippine team for the Homeless World Cup who are being managed by Urban Opportunities for Change Foundation, an organization that depend on sponsors and donors as they finance the team's training and operations.

Cortal SQR was also launched as the official pain reliever of the two Philippine football teams. With its advance formulation, a combination of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol, Cortal SQR provides the safest and quickest pain relief at only PHP 6.50 per tablet. The recommended dosage is 1 tablet every 6 hours as prescribed by a Physician.

It was exciting to finally meet my favorite team, the Azkals and have photos taken with my football heroes, but what was more inspiring was to seeing the participation of private organizations like Cortal SQR in supporting the popular Philippines Azkals and the rising stars of the Homeless World Cup Philipine football team.

Old and New

I have been experimenting with my hair for the past couple of months. Usually, I comb my hair to my left and that’s how my hair is styled and my hair type is not as straight as it used to be during my childhood days (it’s not super curly) when I really had hair that falls and bounces as if it went through a lot of hair straighteners.

My usual hairstyle

The new hairstyle I'm experimenting with

So, these past two months I started combing my hair (with my fingers as I usually do) to the right and the effect was, my hair stood and it appeared a little too loud. It made me feel different because I’m really used to having my hair worn with good, clean style. The experiment makes me look like a bad boy and makes me want to wear a pair of jeans, a shirt and a leather jacket. But, I’ve started getting used to it, but I’m sure, the circle of people I’m usually with will take a bit of time to get used to this new hairstyle.
