It has never been easy to find products that lighten the areas that need brightening like our underarms, knees, elbows and the bikini area, that's why I got so intrigued when Fresh Philippines sent me their #HilodHack Sets - Tomato Glass Skin for that extra glow and Milk White Glutaboost for that much-needed brightening. They both sound so promising so I knew I had to try them for myself! 
First, let's start with the #FreshHilodHack Milk Kit
Step 1 - Deep Exfoliation
Fresh Milk White Glutaboost Spa Salt Scrub 350g (109 php)
Main Ingredient:  TheraWhite Complex 

This deeply exfoliating and multi use scrub, effectively removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin with a smooth and soft regenerating glow.

Step 2 - Moisturize and Whiten 
Fresh Milk White Glutaboost Soothing Gel Lotion 300ml (299 php)
Main Ingredients: Therawhite Complex powered by Milk Proteins and Glutathione
I believe that this is the star of the #FreshHilodHack Milk Kit. A lightweight and fast absorbing soothing gel lotion that lightens and brightens the complexion up to 2x (vs regular moisturizer) leaving a soft and even-toned skin. Super perfect for brightening those dark areas!  

Step 3 - For Gentle Exfoliation:
Milk White Glutaboost Moisturizing Cream Salt Scrub 300g (109 php)
Main Ingredients: TheraWhite Complex and infused with the double whitening power of Glutathione and milk protein

Just apply and scrub gently on damp skin, leave it for 3 minutes then wash thoroughly. Use 2-3 times a week and you're good! This creamy salt scrub gently exfoliates your skin, removing deep-seated dirt and dry skin cells to reveal a softer, smoother and lighter skin. 

If you don't believe me, here's a before and after photo after a week's use! I definitely saw a difference there. 
Top Photo: My elbow a week before use
Bottom Photo: My elbow a week after continued use of the #FreshHilodHack Milk Kit

Everything in this set is affordable, easy to use and effective. I honestly can't believe that I saw a difference after a week! I know it isn't that drastic but my elbow (which is my problem area) has lightened and smoothed just by using this set 2-3 times last week. I know that with continued use, I'll see even greater results.

Everything has changed in front of our eyes and while it has been been definitely hard to keep up with the "new normal", we must accept that this is our reality now and things will take time before they return to the way they were... Attending events, running errands or hanging out in a coffee shop with friends until the wee hours of the night would be nearly impossible as there are too many things to consider and of course, mental and physical health being our top priority. 

If you're like me who's into making sure that she's fully made up whatever the day may be before the pandemic started, I'm sure it's been a real bummer to break your routines. As for me, that's starting the day with skin care, self care and make up. 


I can't speak for everyone but since I started working from home, I had a hard time keeping up with any of my self-care routines as it is more difficult for me to draw the line between working and having time for myself, until I found out that caring for my skin or myself for that matter would only take an all-in-one, inexpensive product and that is Duru. 


The most important tip I can give you is to get the right product and a consistent routine to achieved the preferred results. It's the perfect time to let our beauty bloom and achieve our healthiest glowing skin with Duru's naturally made organic face and body soap. 


Duru comes in two variants: Blooming White, a green translucent soap which contains glycerin and Italian olive oils that help moisturize and rejuvenate the skin, and olive leaves which are natural exfoliants that turn dull skin into blooming skin, and White Brilliance which contains the innovative power of lemon and Italian olive oils combined with Vitamins A, C, and E for superior whitening and moisturizing.


As a proud morena, I have always shied away from whitening soaps and have been very outspoken about maintaining my skin's natural color, so let me tell you what Duru's effects are on my morena skin: 

Blooming White - has really helped me moisturize, rejuvenate and exfoliate dull parts of my skin 
White Brilliance - moisturized and evened out some of my uneven skin tone

Be the person you've always wanted to be and let your best self shine through. Let's all flourish and #BloomWithDuru.



Duru Blooming White and White Brilliance whitening and beauty soap are available at your nearest drugstores and supermarkets and online through Lazada http://tiny.cc/DuruSoapLazada and Shopee https://tinyurl.com/DuruSoapShopee.
