Battle between Kojie San and Block and White Lotion

My late morning walks with my dog Jumbo have caused my skin to get darker. Since there is a school near our house, a lot of vehicles pass by the streets during early mornings. Jumbo is not the type of dog who will step aside at the sight of moving vehicles. Hence, we have to wait for the streets to clear before we can stroll around. Although my face is protected from the sun by my day cream, my body isn't. 

When I noticed the change in my complexion, I knew that I needed to protect my body from the sun's UV rays right away. I also wanted to bring back my old complexion. Before heading off to Watson's to buy a whitening lotion with spf, I decided to check the web for any blogs related to it. I wanted to buy something that was guaranteed effective by common people. I didn't want to rely on testimonials by paid models and actresses. Based on what I read, there were two local brands many Filipinas raved about. They were:

  • Block & White Intensive Whitening lotion (B&W), and
  • Kojie San body lightening lotion (KS)
I couldn't decide which one to buy until a brilliant idea came to mind! I decided to test both brands simultaneously. B&W had two variants: spf 16 and spf 24. The variant with lower spf was cheaper. Since KS had spf 25, I bought B&W with spf 24 so that they were more comparable. 

My experiment started yesterday. B&W was assigned to my left arm while KS was tasked to my dominant right arm. I applied the lotion before going out for our morning walk and before going to sleep.

This early, I must say that I'm leaning towards Kojie San. The cap is easier to open and the product is easier to dispense. The scent is mild, too. B&W's container may appear sleek but its cap is difficult to open. I'm scared that my nail polish will chip off each time I open the bottle. Also, the lotion smells like sunblock.

I have yet to see the results before I can make a conclusion. I'm using Omni White soap to assist in bringing back my old skin tone. Once I see visible changes to my skin, I will blog about it right away. Until then!
