Clean Hair, Confident You with Selsun Blue

 

I've had memories passing by the Selsun Blue plant while my Dad was driving back in the day. It was one of the things I loved to do, smelling it was like a habit because it was fresh, very manly, a thing that I adored when it comes to scents. I didn't quite understand why I couldn't see it quite often in groceries and supermarkets like it used to, but if you're a bit my age, you'll signify it as the most revered anti dandruff shampoo in the country. It was the solution for that flaky stuff people have in their hair, it was the only one at that time that could have solved it. Aside from that, they always had the iconic male stars model for it, much like a standard. It was because it works, and it was laboratory and clinically tested.

 Looks like they're back and available in the market. What's even more exciting is that they've got a whole line of products catering to different needs like the Selsun Blue PRO (which has got conditioning Honey Extract), Selsun Blue PRO 2-in-1 Anti Dandruff Shampoo with Conditioner (which removes dandruff and keeps it from coming back because of its Selenium Sulfide 1% content), and last but not the least, Selsun Blue PRO-X Anti Dandruff Shampoo (that restores hair and does scalp hydration). It's very soothing too because of a little menthol, you'll feel cool with it after your shower.

Now if you want to experience the goodness that is Selsun Blue, you can now get them at Watsons branches nationwide, and online on Shopee and Lazada. Just search for the Mentholatum store on these online shopping apps and you'll have these Selsun Blue delivered to your doorstep wherever you are in the Philippines (as long as people can ship there!). 

Getting your hair cleaned will basically make you more confident in front of other people, you don't have to worry about it after this.

Auto-Gard Waterless Car Wash

Isn't the weather crazy? I mean one minute it's cool and windy, the next day it's super hot and you're all sweaty and then the next day you're dripping wet because of monsoon rain and it happens when you're just about to go out with friends and family. You may struggled all morning to clean your car with soap and water only to find out that your precious shiny vehicle would look like a wet rag because the rain always find its way to ruin your plans as mother nature intended it to be. Well don't take that pail and shampoo out yet because we might have a better solution to your car wash problems. This one however comes in a bottle.

By using this with the Auto Gard Microfiber cloth, a simple task of cleaning your car would save you about 20-100 liters of water for each bottle. This is designed however for light dirt and grime and not when you're doing 4x4 or off road driving (no it's not the answer to your heavily soiled car). It provides like an extra layer of protection on your car's surface so it won't be that dirty the next time you plan to do another car wash. For porous or non porous places like your windows, glass, wheels, headlights. this thing will make your car clean even without the use of water. You just simply spray it on and wipe it off. Auto Gard Waterless Carwash also gives your smooth plastics and chrome the shine it deserves so you won't look bad when other people are inside your vehicle. Like shiny new.

The High Performance Microfiber cloth also makes sure you won't be wiping it on and off your car like a wet rag because the darn thing sucks up water like it's thirsty, like a man who just got out of the Sahara desert and can be squeezed out as if it's almost dry. You ca use it over and over again and can last you a couple uses so you don't have to worry you're not keeping a dirty rag in your garage all the time. 

It's easy to apply, and only costs less than a few hundred pesos (Php 199 SRP). You also save on water, on effort and protects your car from the harmful elements of everyday driving. It's not going to stick to your car's surface that much and may well serve you with less effort in cleaning that car on an everyday basis. Getting a car wash these days are so expensive so saving a few bucks by doing it yourself will definitely be the better alternative. You'll have more time to prepare to go to work rather than slaving away with soap and water all the time. Isn't that a good thing?

I know, I'm using it right now for our family's huge van and I think it'll save is a lot of time, and money too.

How to Clean Your Car Like a Pro with Auto Gard

I've been rearing to write about this a couple of weeks ago but my schedules were just pretty tight. I had about 3 events every day so think about that LOL. Anyway, I tried and schedule to have my van cleaned and take photos of it but when I arrived in my friendly neighborhood car wash, there were like 8 cars in the garage and no obvious place to take pretty photos of the experience using these new products (^_^) and heaven forbid they should make some space for me but I figured I could always tell you how it is on how to use these products. I asked the car wash boys to use it (I admit I don't really wash cars that much!) and they were a little hesitant at first. They have their own different set of soaps and shampoos and it wouldn't be done faster, but I arranged this a couple of weeks ago with the owner and I only got the nod the day before so they didn't really have any choice, I'm that convincing. 

 Our van is the Mitsubishi Space Gear Delica Executive Edition, obviously from the same Japanese car maker. It's green and it's a bit old, but very comfy. The version we had wasn't the short one and is pretty roomy. The reason I don't really wash cars is because it's a real burden to do because I normally use rags, soap and foam. Takes me around a couple of hours to finish because I want it clean as a whisk. Add to that a real weird phenomena, because of the 5 times I did that, it rained 4x afterwards. Imagine my face after seeing it clean and dry in the morning, then wet and full of marks in the afternoon. Not funny. I spend quite an enormous amount of time wiping it with rags and newspapers so I could see the glass shine. I only thought about having it cleaned by other people because with the labor and back aches I got from doing it my self I don't think it'll be worth it. But this might actually change my mind.

Have you heard of Auto-Gard? They sent me a full cleaning kit a few weeks ago and I wanted to put it to the test. I had them use the Auto Gard Car Wash Shampoo. When I saw the brand, I thought I probably have seen it a couple of times as they've been in the market since the 90's. It comes with instructions on how to use it, but I think it's pretty simple. You just have to know the ratio, 5 bottle caps in 4 liters of water. You can use a sponge and do the karate kid moves so you can hone your skills and battle the forces of evil afterwards. This takes no rocket science and you just need to rub it in on the front of the van and work your way to the back. It was not as thick as I thought it would be and it was easy to apply. What's good is that even after all these things, it's going to be fine on the paint because it wouldn't promote oxidation. Doesn't that sound so re-assuring?

The sponge they were using at the car wash was actually a little dirty and worn out so I also asked the kind kuya to use this instead. The Auto-Gard Super Sponge was handy, and it was better because one dip on the pail means it could get more of the Auto-Gard Shampoo solution in one go. It's a time saver, aside from that, it takes care of the surface of the van without being too abrasive. Plus it made all the windows clean, no lint residues on the surface at all. You also don't need to put too much effort drying and polishing the car. It's that good.

For those who fear the infamous water marks, fear not because they won't leave you standing in the rain. They've got the Auto-Gard Waffle Weave Drying Towel to make sure you've got those removed. You can also use this and squeeze the water off and you won't have a hard time to get the car dry. Again, that's just going to be less time for chores and more time with the bae, I mean family. Believe it or not, this cloth can actually absorb 10x its weight in water. I would have used this on my oily face but the van is our priority today! Ha-ha!

Aside from that, I also had another guy get the job finished with this Auto-Gard High Performance Microfiber Cloth. This thing attracts and lifts dirt and dust so if you've got some left on the van, then it's going to be easy to check every nook and cranny. If you're van is clean and you don't leave anything wet, then you're taking care of your vehicle right. No water means no rust, no rust means you're going to have your car last for a long time. It's your baby, it's your high ticket investment, and Auto-Gard is just the right way to take care of it. By using the right cleaning materials and products,  it would benefit you, your friends and family for generations to come. Your car isn't just a tool to get you from point A to point B, it's your refuge, it deserves proper care. You spend a LOT of time in it and if you don't take care of it, it won't be getting that great resale value either if you plan to upgrade in the future.

For those who want to experience Auto-Gard you can get them easy at Ace Hardware, Handyman, Wilcon Depot, Truevalue and all leading car wash shops nationwide. Oh by the way, the guys over at the car wash wanted to keep the left over shampoo and cleaning kit, but NOPE, not gonna happen! It's mine!

On Soaps, Shampoos and Shower Gels: Men Should Smell Like Men

You are better than you think you are. No one said it is easy, but we all have to know the difference between grooming products for men and women. Sometimes you just feel we live in a world where people would want to kill us with fluff, flowers and pink stuff, not that it's bad for us but there's a huge difference in our physiological and biological makeup. Our hair might be made with the same things but the daily abuse, use, wear and tear is just on a different level. Our activities are different and if nobody admits we too need special care, that would be a sad life.

I was browsing the grocery of Mercury Drug a couple of days ago with my Mum and Dad and saw these products on the shelf. While they were signing their senior citizen discounts and I bought a couple cans of pineapple juice as I was a bit under the weather (long story) and saw ToppCock on the way to the counter. It's a line specially made for the male form of which the last one I tried was ToppCock Silver on my article here. This time I'm trying the Mint Soap, the Hydromax Invigorating Shampoo (Mint Lavender) and the All In One Shower Gel (which I have tried before).

The Mint Soap was marvelous. It didn't need a promise of 99.9 percent germ removal to make it feel good while in the shower. You feel clean and it smells so good. I like that the mint wasn't too harsh because the last thing that you need when the water from the shower is already cold is also mint to ruin the experience. So it's like hitting two birds with one stone, that's good yeah?!

The Hydromax Invigorating Shampoo on the other hand has Mint and Lavender. If you're a man and want to feel fresh and clean without smelling like a bouquet of flowers when you get out of the shower, you just have to put it in a subtle way. That's what this is. Like the soap, the mint isn't really too harsh either. I think they got this right during production which is a good thing.

I like the Shower Gel. It's like fresh pine. This got emptied in like 3 days because apparently everybody else at home liked it a LOT. It's like those really good perfumes for men mixed with it but I won't tell what brand LOL. Anyway, I think if you're looking for something cool, perhaps keep like a staple in your bath, this would be it. I assure you, it's something you would mistake as something only expensive designers would make. It's affordable too so you know what this means? You should get it too!

Take it in, because I'm sure event the women can relate to that. They wouldn't want the men to use what's designed for women right? That thought alone is beautiful, it means something and it's real. It will feel right because it's proper, and proud!

Again, you should go to the nearest Mercury Drug outlets and get yourself some ToppCock. Be a great example to the men in your age group. Take care of yourself buddy!

The Importance of Men's Grooming Down There: ToppCock Silver

Filipino men do not realize how much of a big deal hygiene is. There are millions of us living in the Philippines but there are no products specifically to cater to our needs. Well, people have attempted to do that locally but end up only making more female formulated merchandise that does not work for those who really need it, men. It's a little appalling, depressing and shocking why grooming isn't a priority and men might think it's a little taboo to use products like it. I mean why? Don't we deserve to take care of our own thingy?

If you haven't heard, there's ToppCock Silver now in leading drug stores and Mercury Drug branches nationwide. It's an old world solution made with new science so you can make those oh so precious man parts as clean as a whisk. People have used silver for a long time to kill microbes, help treat burns, combat germs, fight bacteria that have even grown resistant to antibiotics. It's anti bacterial and anti fungal properties are completely safe, good and all natural making it the best nano particle odor neutralizer available in the market.

Don't you think ladies actually talk about it in powder rooms or small chats with their friends when you have a problem down there? Exactly. We need to solve that, we need to make sure your name doesn't end up in that conversation... or anybody elses mouth for that matter. It's important to take care of the little guy especially if you're active. We don't want our partners to get turned off when they're already excited right?

Now I'm not the type who just endorses anything without even trying it out myself. So I've been using it for a couple of days now to see how it actually fares. ToppCock comes in 90ML small bottles and this one I used which are 10 ml sachets. It's almost the same size as your ordinary deodorant bottle so it's convenient to carry around in gym bags when you need to. Or if you're going to travel, this would fit snug in your man kits. It's also easy to use because you just need to take a shower, dry and apply. You don't need a lot either and just use enough to cover the area, you don't need to perform a rain dance or any mumbo jumbo for it to take effect because it protects you the moment you put it on. I can tell it even smells like a softer version of Hugo Boss shower gels which I often use. That other one costs an arm and a leg and this one is way affordable, a factor that you may think about when using this on a regular basis. Now, you have no excuse.

If you're also keen on checking out other things from their line, you can try their HYDROMAX shampoo and conditioner that not only cleans and prevents dandruff, but it is designed and formulated for men plus makes your hair moisturized. It smells so good too because they use lemon and sage so you feel and smell so fresh after a great shower. Now you can indulge on those long showers and baths before you go to work. Take a sachet of ToppCock Odor Neutralizer while you're at it and use it after your beast-mode sessions in the gym, or before sexy time. I'm sure your girlfriends will thank you for it, but really don't take my word for it and try getting one in your nearest Mercury Drug store as soon as you finish reading this. Be proper, be proud.
