When the temperature started rising this part of the globe (the Philippines, that is) by the second quarter of this year, I have frequented the beaches, rivers and natural springs in order to cool off and be refreshed. It began with my Siquijor sojourn during the Holy Week, then a day trip to Balokon Spring Resort at Don Salvador Benedicto, followed by my canyoneering adventures in Badian and whale watching exploits in Oslob (both in Cebu), and lately with a trip to Sipalay City, which is at the southern part of Negros Occidental, for some swimming escapade.
It was no surprise that my face eventually turned red from being overtly exposed to the sun. No amount of sunblock can really keep my skin from being sun-kissed and sunburned with all the activities that I did. Good thing that my friend, Dr. Rhea Lombos-Serondo invited me to try her recently opened Skin Solutions by Serondo Skin and Surgical Clinic.
After assessing my skin and the damages that the sun has brought upon it, Dr. Serondo recommended that I should try the Pure-Biotic. It was a complete treatment method, which incorporates “overall” and “zonal” wherein it addresses oily skin and acne-prone skin.
Pure-Biotic has powerful antibacterial action that allows the skin to naturally produce antibiotics to combat microbial infections. The whole treatment includes cleansing of the skin, purification or detoxification, matifying effect, antibacterial action, deep-cleansing of blackheads, anti-hormonal action, reduction of sebum, and soothing of irritated areas.
First, they applied products for make-up removal and exfoliation. Then they did comedo extraction on my face, which is warm ozone vaporization. After that, they massaged my face which really had a relaxing effect on me. They applied mask on my face, which was so cool and organically fragrant. A gauze was placed on top of the mask and another layer was applied. After a few minutes, my mask was peeled off and I was given the localized treatment and modelling.
Light therapy was then done on my face: the blue light for acne and the red light for anti-aging. Here’s the wonderful thing. Skin Solutions also applied green LED light on my face, which is for skin discoloration, especially with the redness on my skin (plus freckles and all).
The good about Skin Solutions is that it is owned and managed by a certified dermatologist, Dr. Serondo. She has trained her staff well as they were very adept with the methods needed to treat my face. It also has modern tools and equipment for dermatological treatment. The clinic itself is conducive (I almost slept through the whole process) and relaxing.
Skin Solutions also gave me sample products to further help my skin rejuvenate. I went home feeling fresh and relaxed. I need to let my skin catch up some rest before I embark on my next adventure. With all my traveling and frequent exposure to the sun, I can see myself revisiting Skin Solutions in the near future.
* I’m no beauty blogger (I’m more of a travel blogger and a foodie), so I forgot the before and after pics of my face. Lesson learned.

It’s important to take care of your skin, so it’s nice to know that we have procedures that help you make sure that your skin is in great condition. That treatment is really perfect for people who are often exposed to the heat of the sun.
Those who are frequently basking under the sun should consider trying this skin refresh treatment. Facial skin is very sensitive and I think applying products to take care of it is a must.
The whole process looks so relaxing. I bet you felt awesome afterwards! I would love to do something like this. Thanks for sharing.
That’s too bad, you can get before and after photos on your next treatment! Don’t forget selfies!!
Sounds like an excellent treatment. Are they expensive? / how many sessions are recommended.
Would have loved to have seen before and after pics!!
The treatment costs about P2,000 (app. USD 43.50). Sessions depend on your skin type. The dermatologist takes a look at your skin first before providing with a recommended treatment.
I do not exactly understand the effect of Green LED light on the facial skin, but if it is safe and it works, who am I to argue. However, I do stress that a licensed dermatologist must be in the vicinity while this procedure is being done.
Yes, this is what’s good about the clinic is that it is managed and run by a licensed dermatologist, who is very hands-on when it comes to the treatment.
I will also try the Pure-Biotic. Since you said It was a complete treatment method to cure sun facing problem. Thanks
That’s something I need as I’ve been exposed to the sun most of the time. It sure would make my skin healthier.
Ohh.. I would have totally loved to see your after photos. Btw, I totally relate to you. In India where I live the temperature varies from 25 to 45 deg C. No matter I dunk a bottle of highest spf sunscreen it still wouldn’t help!!!
Whoah, glad that they also have products which will help their clients keep their skin taken cared of. How does it feel to undergo such process? Just wondering, though. hahaha I am a bit scared of taking such solutions I might end up regretting it. but at least, I believe it doesn’t harm.
This treatment looked quite interesting! All their products look so interesting! 🙂
I will anytime love to go naturally than getting any treatments. If you are out in the sun to get some vitamin D you are good enough.
I am trying something similar. Liking it so far too. We have to take time out for pampering!
I’m sorry that you didn’t get to share before and after pics with us. I would have loved to see the difference. Well maybe next time. 🙂
It was only late last year that I started a skin care routine. It’s costly, something I found before that I don’t need but I do need it. I’m not getting any younger!
Just today my mom and I went for a spa session. Its always nice to pamper your skin and body.
