It has been more than 2 years since I last posted a beauty related article here in my blog. I know, it has been a while. So many things have happened since my last post (I posted a glimpse of it here). Ever since we got back in January, I have always been thinking about bringing my old self back - from the character to the activities I do. This blog is one of those things.
If you have noticed, I changed the blog name from MakeUpLove to Jes Loves. I did it as a start. The change signifies my movement from just beauty to everything and anything beyond beauty. I plan to incorporate a lot of things in this blog. I want to venture on other topics. I want to be active again. I want to try again. But, it is not as easy as I thought it would be.
"Pwede pa kaya?", "kaya ko pa ba?", "baka wala na magbasa?", and all other sort of negative emotions populated my thoughts. I have drafted hundreds of posts only to scrap them after the first few sentences. But, I really wanted this. This space used to be my solace. This space was me and that kind of me was the one I needed back. So, I asked for a sign.
And, this was the sign sent by the beauty universe. Since I asked for it and I really want need it, I am here to respond. Yes, I am back. Though I plan to do it slowly, the fact still stays, #JesIsBack. So, hello again and hello for good!

When we got back from India, I noticed how bad my skin has gotten. Fine lines and wrinkles doubled in number. I had whiteheads, blackheads, and random bumps. My color was uneven. My skin was drier than ever. Stress, problems, and negative emotions had taken really taken a toll on my skin. Top it with Delhi's heavily-treated, chemically-recycled water, crazy climate, and nonavailability of my preferred skincare products.
For months now, I have been extra effort in trying to bring back the my used-to-be skin condition. I have been using my trusted products and trying new ones. One of the most recent I have tried, and probably my best skincare find in 2020, is the UFO by Foreo (Php 16,320 on Sephora PH).
Foreo UFO
UFO is armed with Hyper-Infusion Technology that combines (1) heating, (2) cooling, and (3) T-Sonic pulsations.
(1) Thermo-Therapy Mode preps skin and enhances skin's absorption of UFO Power Activated Masks' ingredients.
(2) Cryo-Therapy refreshes, and instantly lifts and firms skin, shrinking the appearance of powers and puffiness.
(3) T-Sonic Pulsations stimulate blood microcirculation and better absorption of products, facilitating skin renewal.
Red increases collagen and fibroplasts to reduce wrinkles, fines lines, and skin sagginess.
Green lightens dark circles, soothes sunburned skin, evens out skin tone, and boosts natural glow.
Blue goes deeps into the glands to combat against acne-causing bacteria.
