SEEING someone glowing and flawless makes some of us wonder how they maintain such gorgeous-looking skin. What could be their beauty regimen?
Recently, I had the chance to meet a woman in her 30s who is truly gifted with smooth and spotless skin. Curious as I am, I asked about her secret." She simply smiled and told me that it is just kojic that keeps her skin healthy all these years.
According to Chinggay Estil-Quong, she has been a loyal kojic user since high school.
"I discovered kojic through my sister. She was buying it from a derma clinic," she recalled. "I loved it because when it dissolved, it turned into a gel-like liquid."
Unfortunately, the dermatologist moved somewhere else. That was when her ingenuity kicked in.
"I would like to call it an 'inspired thought'. It wasn't even planned."
With the numerous queries she received about her skin care ritual, Chinggay got interested in producing her own.
"One day, as i was having a casual conversation with a friend about possible business ventures, suddenly an inspiration struck, to sell kojic soap - a product that I personally believe in," she narrated.
Instead of offering the usual kojic bar soap, she thought of producing it in liquid form.
"I am blessed because God brought me the right people to help me in making the idea of a liquid kojic soap a reality - taking inspiration from the gel-type liquid that I loved before," she said.
After getting only positive feedback from family and friends who have tried her new product, she finally started selling it online four months ago.
"I am very happy that through this product, my other wish was also granted- that is to earn an income while making an impact," she said, adding that most of her resellers are stay-at-home moms who need extra income, students who need extra cash for their projects and young professionals who want to try having their own business.
Personally, I have been using Chinggay's Bee Natural Kojic Face and Body Wash for almost a month now. So far, I have been happy with the results. My skin is now smoother, and my face now has the natural pinkish glow that a lot of women desire.
For only P380 per 500 ml bottle, I can already enjoy the benefits of kojic for more than a month. And not that only that! Chinggay's kojic is more hygienic, too, since it is in liquid form.
Aside from its whitening effect, kojic acid soap also lessens dark spots, exfoliates, and fights acne-causing bacteria.
