Discovering the Science of Looking Good with Nivea Men

I've been a skeptic but this one makes sense. A few weeks ago we were invited to an event in Makati to witness Nivea Men's take on how to discover the science of looking good. I mean, is there really a science to it? Don't you just get born and get that from genes and stuff? I always thought it was just whatever the one above gave you and you're just stuck with it. In the venue, they kind of explained to us that uhmm - there is kind of a science to it. The things you wear, the things you do, the things you bring to a handshake or talking to other people, they've got an explanation and what effect it has to other parties. This is real, and backed by research so listen up!

Something simple, when you shave these days, you probably use shaving gels or soap just to cover your beard or growing mustache. The thing is, there's anti irritation shaving gels you can use every time you need to shave. If you get bumps and nicks every instance you glide through that blade on your face, then you should consider putting this on first before you do shave. I personally like this and if I don't get the original one I like (other brand) this is the next one on my list. (sorry I have to be honest). This is a lot cheaper though so in tough times that I need something affordable but quality to use inside the shower, Nivea Men answers that.

For those who get break outs, Nivea Men has this anti acne oil control facial foam which you can use when you wash your face. I don't get that anymore but I do sometimes get oily. When I need to freshen up before an event, this is something good. Just make sure you wash it off very well because the last thing you would want is residue. We don't want that to cause another one right? For the lips, Nivea Men has Active care which has the right enough of SPF to protect you from harmful UV rays. Plus you won't look like you're too shiny when you're putting it on. I know you get my point. We don't have to look like we've eaten lechon right after putting it on our lips :)

The Nivea Men Invisible Black and White Spray Deodorant on the other hand will get you that fresh smell without turning your white clothes into corners with yellow stains, or black clothes into something with white residue. That's just nasty. We shouldn't be caught looking like that. The Pore Minimiser Volcanic Mud Foam can be put on every night, so those pores of yours become smaller. You won't get dirt on your face, makes sense? The Oil Control thing also comes in small canisters like that, perfect for travels. If you're just going out for a weekend, or for business, that would be good no?

For those who want more effect,try the Pore Minimiser with Extra Whitening. Make sure you also apply it on your neck though because the last thing you need is a super white face and a discolored neck! I've seen people do that LOL!

There's also a dry stick, and the cool kick. If you're a little sensitive on deodorant sprays, that would be a better alternative no? Other than that, there's Nivea Men Silver protect that's got same 48 hour protection plus anti bacterial properties, so you don't go panicking with body odor problems the whole day, or the next morning too (of course we party til the morning right?).

I think the point of this event is, you are already a man, you know you're clean but there are tons of products out there in the market that can really help keep it that way the whole day. Science? Yes you can say that, there are tons of things that do make us be a little better than the others. Knowing what to do in certain situations would give us the edge. For job interviews, for proposals, relationships, sports and competitions, you need that extra umph to help you go a long way. Good thing there's Nivea Men for that.

To keep you in the loop on how to look good, here's our official wingman Gino Quillamor to tell us about what to do, and what not to do whenever those situations come up. I really see myself in him ha-ha!

Summer's Not Over with Nivea Sun Care Products!

If you haven't been out of your house that much, you still  have a few weeks to enjoy the sun. Putting your feet into the sand, lying down on a hammock while being served a cold pinacolada with an umbrella on top just looks perfect on any beach. We deserve to be pampered every once in a while, but I do worry a lot about the damage that the sun brings on our skin. I take this threat seriously because sun damage would make you look old, even make you sick if you don't believe me.

Well, there's some really good news I'd like to tell you. There's Nivea Sun to take care of your skin. It's a line of products by global brand Nivea that's dedicated to protect, refresh, hydrate, even give you a tan on some of their products. Different days, different needs, so I did the next best thing to make sure I get protected perfectly when it's hot outside. I actually tried them all in a span of 1 week, and here's a rundown on how they fared.

This is Nivea Sun Moisturizing Immediate Sun Protection Collagen Protect. If you can see, all their bottles have SPF labels on them indicating the amount of protection you get from product. It smells quite like liquid baby powder and not too strong. I don't like the other brands that smell like chemicals and doesn't even get you enough protection as you need it. It also disappears quite fast after application, meaning it's quickly absorbed by the skin. It's not greasy at all and it assures your protection from UVA/UVB rays, of which too much of it will hasten genetic mutation. If that happens, you get skin cancer. That's not a good thing. If you're out for a swim, they recommend to re-apply after a dip, or after you wipe off with a towel. I would have loved to put my swimming photos on this part, but I'm sure you're not ready for that. #UMAY haha.

This one smells a little stronger than the one in the blue bottle. This is the Nivea Sun Whitening Immediate Sun Protection Collagen Protect. It's got the same SPF content, but it's got more active whitening ingredients. So just imagine, you're not just protecting yourself from the sun when you put this on your skin, you get the moisturizer's effect plus it'll make your complexion whiter. It's like hitting three birds with one stone. You're not really protected if you're just inside the home, UVA rays can penetrate through clouds and glass. Don't trust those windows, you really can't be too sure. Get your dose of Vitamin D when it's safe, but not to the point of putting yourself out there in danger.   

This one's pretty special. This is the Nivea Sun Protect and Bronze. I guess the lower SPF would hasten you to get enough of that sunlight and make melanin production a lot faster, thanks to the pro melanin plant extract on this product. You would need to apply significantly well so you still get the protection you need though, you must remember that. If you want that caramel colored skin, this would fit you nicely. You must always take note that if you spend a lot of time under the sun, you are prone to sunburn. Aside from that, over exposure can hasten skin damage and these products can get you the protection you need when it matters.

For those who would prefer an even lighter regimen if you're under the sun, the Nivea Sun Protect and Light Feel is super. It's a refreshing invisible sun mist so it's not like the lotion types to begin with. Although I don't feel greasy with the earlier bottles, this one really presented a difference. I guess you can call this the modern version of sunscreen lotions. It smells so nice too. A bottle can probably go for 6 full body applications. It really depends on where you want it covered. After coming out of the pool, or wiping yourself with a towel, just spray it on again to make sure you're covered. I know, no sunscreen can ever make sure we're 100% covered but you can do your best with these!

If you don't like lugging around bottles when you're out of town, Nivea has got Nivea Sun Protect and Moisture or Nivea Sun Protect and White Creams that can get you sunscreen protection you need. It's easier to carry around, fits right in your bag's pocket but don't let the size fool you. The thing has SPF 50, so you get the protection you need in each application. You'll enjoy your vacation without any hassle, you won't smell like chemicals too. Having fun in the sun doesn't have to be too dangerous, just protect yourself with Nivea Sun products, sit back, relax and play more! You deserve this break, enjoy time with friends and family. Nivea Sun has got you covered!

Tried and Tested: Nivea Silver Protect!

Guys, have you experienced those days where you feel fresh and clean when you go out but feel so haggard when you get to the office? How about when you've got that important date but couldn't fathom why your underarms feel like its flowing like a waterfall, that it literally wets your perfect shirt? Bummer eh? It's called "baskil" (from the term "basa ang kili2x LOL) in layman's language in our side of the world. It's embarrassing, it's humiliating, I can't even tell you how disheartening it is to be in that situation, not to mention AWKWARD.



Nivea actually knows how you feel and what better way to resolve this than with anti bacterial protection that only NIVEA Silver Protect can do. Yes ladies and gentlemen, this pressured bottle or roll on thingamajig actually contains silver ions. It's something that will protect you from bacterial growth in all the right places, best of all it's soothing for the skin. After all, the one that's under there is highly sensitive and you have to take care of it otherwise you'll be the laughing stock of your co dudes and bros. Isn't it obvious?! You have to smell good for women too!

It actually promises 48 hour protection and I must say that I have tried it myself. The scent is more on the musky side for the aerosol version. The roll on actually is more on the light perfumey side. I feel though that the aerosol is better. Men want that scent and women would actually appreciate that. Men should smell "Manly" above anything else. The roll on version doesn't disappoint in that area either, though lighter in fragrance the effects and overall convenience of wearing it that way pays for it. I love both don't get me wrong but I find the aerosol better and more convenient. Plus, they have in in bullet-metal looking canisters which looks cool in my books! =)

There's also a Nivea For Men Silver Protect Challenge for those of you would like to try it on Facebook. You can CLICK HERE to access that application. There's a lot of prizes to be given away including 3 X 10,000 pesos cash plus a lot of gift packs courtesy of Nivea Silver Protect. We were even there to try out for ourselves what Nivea Silver Protect can do on these situations.


Imagine the heat, the adrenaline rush and the smell we'll get while doing this very physical activity. We perspired a lot to say the least and it was nice that Nivea was there to protect us from body odor or growing bacteria. We still smelled nice after 2 rounds of shooting people with laser guns inside this place. It was fun fun fun and we didn't have to worry about ourselves because Nivea's there to make sure we still smell as fresh as we went out of the shower!

They explained to us the benefits of using Silver Ions together with the deodorant and why it's the best for men like us! Hey! I was 4th out of 25 people in scores, not bad eh?! =) So what are you waiting for, hurry and use the app, get the canisters and roll on's then get those ladies! Nivea Silver Protect is surely what Men want!... and what I WANT too!

So guys, make sure you get the Nivea Silver Protect... I prefer the ones in the canister, I like how it smells and keeps me fresh all day. You won't be disappointed when you get it on stores nationwide! =)
