Tips on Cleaning Teeth

Just like every part of our body, our teeth can get dirty too. From eating too much sweets and drinking carbonated drinks to keeping bacteria-friendly toothbrushes, there are many causes for dirty teeth. However, cleaning your teeth can be just as easy as one-two-three. Floss first to remove bigger debris in between the teeth. Second, brush your teeth at least twice daily for two minutes each time. Third, don’t forget your tongue and brush this area clean too. And to beef up your daily regimen even more, here are three teeth-cleaning partners to help maintain your pearly whites. First is a 12-hour anti-bacterial protection toothpaste to boost your teeth’s defense. Second is the right toothbrush that suits your cleaning needs. And of course, don’t forget to visit your dentist every six months for professional cleaning. Remember, it’s easy to get our teeth dirty, but with a little effort, having clean teeth will become even easier.

Daylong Feel-good Sun Protection

Because real sun protection should be daily, deep, complete. I've known long before that we do not just need sun protection when we go to the beach, we also need to be protected during our day-to-day activities, whether it be during commute, walking along the park, or just simply taking a stroll around your neighborhood. The most prevalent form of skin damage is caused by daily exposure to solar radiation, which permeates the skin all the way down to the cells and DNA. Daily sun damage goes beyond the usual sunburn and inflammation we see on the top layer of our skin. It triggers molecular responses that cause cell damage, skin aging, and DNA lesions that result in skin cancer. From the makers of Cetaphil, comes a new product that will just protect our skin from harmful solar rays. Daylong takes a scientific approach in evaluating the efficacy of sun protection when it comes to determining the effects of sun damage deep into the cellular level. Its protection likewise goes de

The Real Cause of Cavities

Our teeth is one of those things that once gone, cannot be replaced. True, there are artificial/cosmetic solutions but it's not the same. That's why we need to make a constant effort to protect it. The question remains, what is the real cause of cavities? Despite continuing education on the importance of good oral care habits to prevent tooth decay, cavities still affect nearly 100% of adults worldwide, and as much as nine out of ten Filipinos. This can be attributed to the lack of awareness on the importance of food in caring for the teeth, which has led the American Dietetic Association to state that, “nutrition is an integral component of oral health. Dental care habits ingrained from childhood include brushing and flossing, visiting the dentist at least twice a year, and using a fluoride toothpaste. However, the role of individual diets on oral health has not been addressed beyond the usual warning to avoid sweets to prevent tooth decay. Thought your family i

Attack of Bacteria in our Mouth

Good oral hygiene begins and ends with bacteria. Start with a healthy environment for good bacteria to grow, and maintain this regimen by preventing bad bacteria from accumulating and causing plaque, cavities, and bad breath. Win the fight against the bacteria in your mouth with oral care habits, starting with the food you eat. Avoid sugary and starchy food, consume more vegetables, and drink your eight glasses of water a day. After eating, always brushing your teeth, use oral care products with anti-bacterial features, and clean your tongue with scrapers or your tooth brush. By knowing the enemy of good oral hygiene, you can easily win the fight against it.

Bagong Ganda, Bagong Pag-Asa with Maxi-Peel

I don't know why there's a lot of controversy about beauty. What's there to argue about? It is a fact that Beauty, both inside and out, inspires the world. But due to many factors, our natural ability to present our best selves physically, could be quite challenging. We are our own brand. When you present a brand to someone, you prepare and do your best to sell it. It's the same when you present yourself to people, when you apply for a new job, talk to clients, try to make a sale, or when you go on that first date. Good first impressions go a long way so I understand deeply this need for us to be presentable. Acne is one of the most common skin conditions we ever face. I don't know if was ever a human being who was born in this world who never had pimples, but I know most of us have already had one. It has affected our lives in many ways, from confidence problems to losing a job. Treating acne, especially if it got serious (infection), costs so much th
