I've always been conscious with my skin. Clearly, its way far from perfect. I have a terribly oily skin, so I'm vulnerable to blackheads, pimples, and premature wrinkles. Being a beauty blogger just adds a little more pressure in having near-perfect skin.Somehow, having a beautiful skin is a proof on my credibility with beauty.

I'm pretty sure you've heard of the saying "Mom knows best". Yes, they do, most of the time. ;) My mom has been using the same product for years. I even remember my grandma uses the same cream bar because it really moisturized her skin. Now I'm in my mid 20s, I started using the same product out of curiosity. I'm pretty apprehensive with anything that has moisturizing properties because I already have an oily T-zone. I thought it will make my skin oilier. Oh boy, I was wrong. Dove beauty bar talks the talk and walks the walk.

I've been using this beauty bar for 3 straight days now, and I'm really surprised on how it made my skin softer. I can also tell that its helping my blemishes fade. It didn't break me out (which I always expect whenever I switch my soap) nor caused oiliness. I like how my skin looks now and I'm looking forward to having better skin in the future. 

Dove has always been at the forefront of celebrating real beauty.  Several years ago, Dove made waves with its Real Beauty campaign which resonated in the hearts of women all over the world because it made women realize that being beautiful did not have to mean possessing supermodel features. Being beautiful was as simple as having soft, smooth and glowing skin.

Today, Dove continues to pave the way for Filipinas to reveal their real beauty to the world with its latest campaign that urges every Filipina to Reveal her Glowing Skin. Dove calls on women who possess beautiful glowing skin and confidence and can be sources of inspiration to others through their own unique life stories. Ten women who best represent and epitomize the ideals of the beauty brand will be the faces of Dove’s new campaign, starring in their very own billboard on EDSA and as well as a  grand photo exhibit at the end of the year.

I had the pleasure of joining other beautiful Filipina bloggers to pose for the Reveal your Glowing Skin campaign. Something I felt terrified about because photos were raw and they intend to have it that way.

The mere thought was mortifying, until I saw the finished photo. "Not bad." That was all I could say. The more I stared at my photo, the more I liked it. Now, I really love it. I'm so proud I got to do this, and doing it with my fellow bloggers made it more fun. It's very liberating and empowering! 

I'm a huge fan of all Dove Real Beauty campaigns. Its so nice that a beauty brand such as Dove promotes love and acceptance for one's self, despite the imperfections. We are all beautiful in our own way, and we should celebrate that. Beauty is diverse and varied, but the most essential kind is the beauty that radiates from within.

In a recent survey conducted, 96% of women doesn't see themselves as beautiful. This number is very alarming and sad, which is why Dove continues their Real Beauty campaign.

Now here is your chance to be a part of the Dove movement!
