Giveaway: Make Your Skin Care Wish Come True with HBC -CLOSED-

****This giveaway is now CLOSED. Click *HERE* to see who won :)*****

Hi, starshines! Let's talk skin today. 

Why do you wear makeup? Well, let me tell you why I do. I believe that makeup can do wonders. Wearing makeup makes me feel better about myself. It's my confidence-booster. Call me vain but of course I want to look good in front of other people, and makeup can help me achieve just that. Now the next question that arises is this: Why is there a need for me to wear makeup? 

My skin is far from perfect. I have already told you my skin history when I posted about my *skin care routine* (which needs updating, btw) before. I had a lot of pimples during my late elementary and early high school days, and that made me feel really insecure about my face. Then after what felt like forever, thanks to the different products I used, the pimples started disappearing and my face started clearing up. 

Now, these are some of my main skin concerns: uneven skin tone, oiliness, redness esp. around the nose area, blemishes here and there. This is why I like to wear makeup. It temporarily addresses my skin concerns. Emphasis on 'temporarily.' I've come to realize that although makeup does well in concealing my imperfections, I still should not forget to take care of my skin. I should be doing something to keep my skin clear and healthy and not just be covering it up with thick layers of foundation all the time. I can't just wear makeup every time, you know. Sino ba naman ang hindi gusto ng super gandang skin, na parang naka-makeup ka na kahit wala ka namang makeup? 

There are now so many products out there that can help us take better care of our skin. We just need to be careful in choosing which ones to use. We first have to know what we need to fix for us to know how to fix it. 

HBC wants to help you address your skin concerns through one of their skin care lines, Hortaleza, M.D. Their facial soaps were designed to target your specific skin care concerns. HBC is giving two lucky readers of this blog four (4) variants of the Hortaleza, M.D. clear soaps and Beauty Certificates for three (3) free diamond peel sessions each.
