There was this one time at the mall last year when we came across a machine that analyzed your skin type, issues, and what your skin needs more of. Even before trying it, I knew it would say his skin needed healthy hydration and would show some sun damage 🤭 I wanted to say “told you so” hahaha 🤪 But seriously this got us even more mindful about applying our daily sunscreen. The 2nd and 3rd slides are us after our facials at Makati 💖

❓ “Why do VMV products cost what they do” 💕


❕ Our CEO shares a few reasons, from never outsourcing, to our barrage of tests, global pressures, and even why we’re not more expensive considering our level of research and quantity of published studies.

“we deserve to feel beautiful, don’t we?

… What’s beauty?

… It’s a feeling.

Beautiful is a, is a feeling, like, you feel beautiful, you know, when you’re seen, when you feel heard. When you feel strong.
That’s when you feel beautiful.”

We think this is amazing.

What is beauty, really?

We’ve been taught it’s in the mirror.
In the hair. The face. The body.
But we know better now.

Beauty is a feeling.
It’s the fire in your belly when you stand in your truth.
It’s the calm in your soul when you finally feel seen.
It’s the quiet power in your voice when you say, “This is who I am.”

When you feel heard,
When you feel strong,
When you feel you,
That’s when beauty radiates from the inside out.

You don’t need permission to feel beautiful.
You already are.
And it’s time you believed it.

Especially for psoriasis (and also for eczema, acne, and rosacea), mental health is skin health and vice versa 🔁 Here are some things that are proven to help your calm and skin (and calm and skin).

Psoriasis management (including monitoring comorbidities) is one of our specialities: +639176230528 or https://seriousmd.com/provider/vmv

👂Seek help from a professional. You do not need to be in severe crisis to begin talking to a therapist. Consider a psychodermatologist if you have access to one.

🫶Joining a group can be a great way to gain perspective, be reminded that you’re not alone, and strengthen your social fitness.

📝 Keep a gratitude journal. A meta-analysis of sixty-four randomized clinical trials shows that “acts of gratitude can be used as a therapeutic complement for treating anxiety and depression and can increase positive feelings and emotions.”

🧘 A growing number of studies shows the efficacy of meditation in reducing stress and anxiety.

🥗 Everything you do for your overall health can help your mental health and your skin … and vice versa (creating a positive cycle!):

💤 Get 7-8 hours of sleep each night.

🥙 Prioritize good nutrition.

📱 Manage your social media mindfully (this technology is designed to be addictive and is associated with mental health problems).

👟 Get active. Many studies show that exercise is highly beneficial for many reasons, including easing symptoms of anxiety and other mental health concerns.

😇 Use fragrance-free, dye-free, paraben-free, preservative-free, allergen-free skincare and makeup. In addition to not stressing the skin and hair, such products can reduce the risk of triggering skin problems … which can, in turn, contribute to improved mood and self-confidence, reinforcing a positive cycle of skin health.

🤗 Deepen the connections of your important relationships and increase the diversity of your social connections.

Is my skin too sensitive for exfoliation? Not with Moisture Rich Mild-Mannered Cleansing Scrub 🕊️

Get comprehensive, holistic, evidence-based care today: +639176230528 or https://seriousmd.com/provider/vmv

Mechanical exfoliation removes dead skin cells. But there are better and worse ways to exfoliate, especially for dry, sensitive skin:

❌ Don’t use a scrub if your skin is already red or irritated from chemical exfoliants, medication, a sunburn, or a reaction, or has open cuts or wounds.

❌ Don’t use facial brushes (they’ve been known to spread bacteria.

✅ Do use gentle scrubs without top contact allergens like fragrance or amido-amine surfactants to avoid irritating skin and causing or worsening acne.

✅ Moisture Rich Mild-Mannered Cleansing Scrub also contains soothing ingredients like monolaurin, virgin coconut oil, and antioxidants.

✅ Do massage very gently, using small, circular motions, for just a few seconds on any one area at a time (your entire face should be be scrubbed for longer than 30-60 seconds).

✅ Follow with any VMV moisturizer or virgin coconut oil.

A patch test can help you manage your ✅

🧐 Psoriasis and allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) have different immunologic modalities so that, as some studies show, people with psoriasis may tend to be less prone to true ACD. BUT a patch test is very helpful in the management of psoriasis.

🛡️ In psoriasis, the skin’s barrier tends to be compromised, making anything applied on it pe*****te deeper, which can increase the risk of a reaction (allergic or irritant). This is also why products that help strengthen the barrier (like VMC Moisturizers, Know-It-Oil and Boo-Boo Balm) are so important.

⚠️ Anything that irritates skin can be a top trigger for a psoriasis flare-up. And patch testing helps patients identify what they’re easily irritated by and what they might be allergic to. Avoidance can help prevent flares.

😇 Allergen-free matters. To prevent further barrier damage as well as triggering irritations, allergen-free products play an important role (along with good nutrition, stress management, appropriate biologics, etc.) in the successful management of psoriasis.

“Not Self-Conscious Anymore

Been experiencing underarm wetness that would show through my tops for as long as I can remember. Trying different kinds of deodorants and antiperspirants didn’t help. The scents aggravated the condition with bad odor. Essence Antiperspirant solved the problem once and for all!”

He’ll paddle out in double overhead waves, hike to secret surf spots and shoot golden hour like it’s his calling… but ask him to wear sunscreen and he suddenly forgets how to use his hands. 🙄📸
As a head coach of and a surf photographer, my husband lives and breathes the Siargao surf lifestyle. And while we don’t always see eye-to-eye on sun protection (he says ‘vitamin D,’ I say ‘dermatologist’), lately he’s been noticing a few fine lines and mystery freckles that weren’t there last season. 👀
