Showbiz News Bad and Good

I was stuck watching the latest showbiz scandal and celebrity news over the weekend because my mom was hogging the TV. She has been tracking the updates on the latest Hayden Kho-Katrina Halili scandal which is on everyone's lips these past few weeks. Publicity-hungry politicians and showbiz personalities have been muddying the waters to get into the limelight caused by the scandal. The chaos is more annoying than anything else that showbiz and politics have dreamed up.

On a more positive note, it's a relief to know Richard Gutierrez is now recovering well after his car accident which killed his long-time personal assistant. I'm sure he had car insurance, but I don't think he had his face insured. It would be a tragedy if something happened to disfigure him in some way. Coincidentally, he is one of the celebrity endorsers of the Belo Medical Group, the top cosmetic surgery and beauty enhancement partnership in the Philippines. Dr Hayden Kho is one of the partners of the said company. His present girlfriend is Dr Vicky Belo herself, the foundress of the Belo Medical Group.

I think Richard deserve a nice vacation somewhere in El Nido or something. He currently has a TV soap showing, but they can find a way to give him some break. Claudine did it with Marina, why not Richard?

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

A sample of sulfur (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Despite its acrid smell, a bar of sulfur soap brings many health benefits to your skin through its antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities. In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur. Many people frequented these places because the hot water therapy soothed their aching muscles and the sulfur healed their skin problems, such as acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, scabies, and seborrheic dermatitis. Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme...

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A brief vacation

I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
