Buyers may be confused of the logo "Miniso Japan" at the back of this product so to clear this out, let me say that although it is claimed that Miniso is a Japanese inspired brand, this company is actually based on Guangzhou, China. Incredibly this brand has expanded in multiple countries across the globe.

Let's review Nivea Micellar Water. This is a 3-in-1 cleanser that contains absolutely no alcohol which is great for people with sensitive skin because it doesn't cause dryness.

Nivea Micellar Water Review | Healthbiztips

It has a very mild scent and when you apply it on your skin, it doesn't sting nor cause pain. In fact, micellar water is so gentle that you can even apply it around the sensitive area around your eyes. That's incredible because most other cleansers tells you not to put them around your eye area.

Nivea Micellar Water Review | Healthbiztips

I have here the Acne Clear Micellar Water by Nivea which deeply cleanses pores by removing hard to reach dirts, oils, and impurities. It's a great skincare product to prevent acne because, it doesn't only remove the bad stuffs from deep inside your pores, it actually prevents clogging of pores.


By the way, there are other versions of Nivea's Micellar Water like the Extra White. Here I got the Acne Clear because I got to get rid of these nasty pimples.

You know how those hard to remove waterproof make-up can be really tough to wipe away? Then, Nivea micellar water might just be the thing you are looking for. This cleanser can remove waterproof makeup! Although, I have to warn you that it can not remove 100% of those waterproof makeup. Like for example, I've encountered a case when this cleanser fail to remove a waterproof mascara. Nevertheless, this is still one of the good products out there in the market.

Nivea's Micellar Water contains Magnolia Bark Extract which has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory property. It kills bacteria and reduces swelling and redness on your face.

Nivea Micellar Water Review | Healthbiztips

This skincare product comes in this blue tinged plastic bottle with a white cap. On the bottom part of the bottle, you'll see the expiration date.

Nivea Micellar Water Review | Healthbiztips

The cleanser has a transparent water-like consistency with a mild scent. When you shake the bottle, it actually forms a foam on the surface of the liquid.

To use this cleanser, you simply put a desired amount of micellar water into a cotton pad or a cotton ball, then wipe it over your face. Afterward, you can either choose to wash your face with water or not at all.


I have here a 125ml bottle of micellar water which is small enough to be brought during outdoor activities. There's  a bigger variation which is a 200ml bottle.

That's it. I hope you find this review useful.

Does wearing high heels boosts confidence? | Healthbiztips

@healthbiztips by Arlene Gentallan | health | beauty | psychology

Individuals striding in high heels gives bystanders the impression of fearlessness and empowerment, but does standing in a high platform really build confidence or is it just an illusion created by assuming such tall stature?

Yes, walking in high heels does give certain people confidence. Wearing high heels changes the body's center of gravity, so in order to be able to walk in high heels, one has to assume a good posture in which the chest is held out, tummy is held in, and the head is positioned in line with the spine. This obliges the wearer to stand straight which many may find attractive and professional.

In a way, standing in high heels commands it's wearer to take on a high power pose. The highly criticized research by Amy Cuddy reveals that adopting a high power pose, in which the individual stands or sits straight with hands spread out to assume a dominant posture even for as little as 2 minutes can have a significant biochemical effect on a person, such that it increases the level of testosterone while decreasing the stress hormone cortisol. This hormonal changes makes the person feel positive and less anxious.

If you want to grab attention, then high heels is your friend. A study reveals that the higher the heels women wear, the more they get noticed, particularly by men. Wearing heels is fashion statement that speaks height, attractiveness, and femininity.

I did mention that high heels does indeed increases the confidence of "certain people" because high heels is absolutely not a confidence builder for all type of people. For example, take the case of a woman whose height is 5'10" and imagine how she might feel in a crowd when she wears an incredibly high heels. Indeed, she would really stand out in a weird way.

Let's not forget that wearing high heels regularly can have negative repercussions because it increases the risk of musculoskeletal problem and injury as it puts the feet in an unnatural position.

In my opinion, walking in high heels is a complicated stance, especially to those who are not used to it. I know a person who got so embarrassed for falling in a high heel that she vow never to wear it again as it certainly did an awful impact on her confidence. On the hand, I know a woman who gains incredible confidence when she's on high heels. Whether or not wearing high heels will increase one's confidence still depends on the preference and mindset of the one whose wearing it.

How to Wear High Heels Correctly | Healthbiztips

@healthbiztips by Arlene Gentallan | beauty blog

Wearing high heels takes fashion to the next level, but if you're doing it all wrong, it can bring you a whole lot of pain. It is undeniable that wearing high heels is a fashion trend that has withstand the test of time, now, but the real question is "how long can your feet take on this challenge?"


1. Know your limits!

High heels usually measure 4 to 10 inches in height. If you think about it for a moment, that sounds gleefully horrifying. I guess with great heights comes great sacrifice.

You see, the biology of the human feet is not designed to walk on high heels all day long. In fact, the recommended number of hours one should spend walking or standing on a high heel is just one hour. A single hour is not enough for a party!

Since, you're supposed to only walk on high heels for one hour, what do you do then? Simple, you take breaks! Sit down and give your feet the rest it deserves. Beauty can mean pain, but don't let it kill you!

Wearing high heels for long periods of time can give you unwanted health issues like increase your risk to develop osteoarthritis, callus, joint and muscle pain.


2. Choose the right size

Wear a shoes that fits you. It's no brainier that an ill-fitted shoes can cause unwanted stress to your feet.

Trying out a high heel shoe before you decide to purchase it is a wise and satisfying. Take note that you have to take into consideration both your feet length and width when choosing a shoe. A thick feet on a thin shoes can be painful.


3. Insoles

Inserting insole on your shoes is a clever way to improve comfort and ease foot pain you're using your high heel shoe. These foot pads also allows your feet to correctly mold into the shape of your shoes.

Insoles provide support, and decrease the impact on your feet when you are walking as it acts as a shock absorber.

Even wearing socks offers comfort and support.


4. Wear shoes with thicker soles

If you'd want to last longer on heels, choose a variety that have a thicker soles. Platform and wedge heels offers better support than pointy stilettos.


5. Back-up fashion

The glory of stature and appeal isn't just restricted to high heels. There are days, when you really have to ditch your high heels for a pair of a more comfortable shoes, especially during times when you know you'll do more foot work.

If you know that you'll have to walk for hours and hours, better bring your brain than your heels. At times, you have to realize that it is flat shoes that you'll be needing. You don't want stilettos to be the death of you.

You'll last longer when you wear a shorter heel. A person usually tolerates medium sized heels which are about 1.5 to 3.5 inches for about 3 hours. Low heels with height of 1.5 inches or shorter like kitten heels is tolerable for about 4 hours a day.

The catch about Human Nature's all-natural lotion is it doesn't contain any toxic chemicals like paraben that can be absorbed into the body which can pose unwanted health risks. It's a relief from the toxic laden cosmetic products that surrounds us.

Skin is the largest organ of the body so whenever you apply your lotion, you absorb more of it's ingredients as you distribute the product over a large surface area of your body.

Human Nature 100% Natural Healthy Lotion

It's a cruelty free lotion that's healthy for you body and non-toxic to the environment.

Packaging

Human Nature's lotion comes in white plastic bottle with size variations of 50 ml and 200 ml. The 50 ml bottle is perfect for retouch when you're on the go.

1. Berry Bliss

Can collagen be absorbed through the skin? | Healthbiztips

@healthbiztips by Arlene Gentallan

I've found this face mask and toner that claims to contain collagen, but I know collagen is a protein that is too large to be absorbed by the skin, so what is the science behind this?

Can collagen be absorbed through the skin or is this another marketing strategy to make me buy this beauty product?


The verdict:

Sad to say but topically applied collagen, such as those found in facial creams, are too large to be absorbed by the pores of the skin. It simply is not possible.

Collagen is extensively marketed in the beauty industry because of it's incredible cosmetic benefits such as improvement in the elasticity of the skin, minimization of sagging, and reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Collagen containing skincare products usually comes at such a high price, but many beauty enthusiasts are not aware that their skin is not capable of absorbing such large molecule of collagen.

Collagen is a protein that makes up a large percentage of the human body, not just the skin. It is what makes structure tough, elastic, and pliable. Humans can naturally produce collagen, but with age, the ability to manufacture this protein diminishes which leads to signs of aging such as wrinkling and sagging.

There are beauty companies who blatantly advertise that the collagen content of their topical beauty formula can be directly be absorbed by the skin, however, we know that this is simply not possible given the biology of the human skin.

On the other hand, there are beauty products out there that rely on potent ingredients their skincare products contains to boosts the skin's natural ability to produce collagen.
