NIVEA moisturizing must-haves up to 50% off on Shopee's 3.15 Shopee Consumer Day!

Have you ever experienced a bad case of skin flare-ups? 

Unfortunately, I do and it happens whenever I get so tired, stressed out, or when I lack sleep. I believe it occurs every time my immune system is low. It's not just the usual itchy or red swollen bumps but it's actually quite painful. I get small cuts all over my face and it stings really bad. 

When this happens, antihistamines don't help much anymore. The only thing that can help me and soothe the pain is the NIVEA Moisturizing Creme. (And that's real talk!) In fact, it's part of my medicine kit and I make sure that I have a can of NIVEA creme whenever I go. 

However, this is not just for emergencies (like in my case) but it's actually perfect for daily use too.

NIVEA Moisturizing Creme contains skin-related Eucerit, a unique moisturizing ingredient and the highly purified form of lanolin alcohol that has the lowest allergy potential. My mom uses this regularly too. (So, yes use around 2-3 cans of NIVEA cremes in a month.) 

This is why I got excited to know that NIVEA moisturizing must-haves will be on sale up to 50% off on Shopee's 3.15 Shopee Consumer Day.  Now, I have no excuse to run out of stock because I can enjoy all these discounts by ordering this easily and worry-free online. 

Aside from the creme, I also recommend NIVEA Crème Soft Hand Wash. I also personally use this since I find it more gentle and more suitable for sensitive skin. This hand wash is actually formulated with almond oil that is said to protect our skin and care for it while washing.

However, if you want something lighter, you can also opt for the NIVEA Intensive Moisture Body Milk. This is infused with NIVEA Deep Moisture Serum, natural almond oil, and vitamin E, it’s formulated with the perfect combination of high-quality ingredients found in the NIVEA body milk, lotions, and cremes you know and love. What I love about it is that it's smooth to apply and it doesn't leave any residue.

Shopee Levels Up the In-App Experience with the Launch of New Game, Shopee Pets

Online shopping helps a lot of Filipinos de-stress and unwind. Aside from the retail therapy shoppers can enjoy, Shopee is set to make users’ in-app experience even more entertaining and engaging with the launch of Shopee Pets. Inspired by a popular mobile game during the 90s, Shopee Pets allows players to redeem exciting rewards by nurturing their virtual pets. Aside from big discounts and exclusive brand offers, Shopee Pets is one of the many exciting things to look forward to during this 3.15 Consumer Day Sale.

Shopee Pets is a life simulation game where players can help their pets evolve through daily activities. Players can level up their pet’s XP (experience points) and unlock diamond points throughout the game by feeding, cleaning, and playing with them. Accumulated points can be used to redeem rewards at the Points Redemption Store. Players can take care of their pets all day, and once their pet reaches level 50, they can choose another pet and repeat the life cycle. To level up your pet and gain diamond points, players can do the following:

● Social Interactions: Sharing is caring! With social interactions between players, they can receive shared items that can increase their pet’s happiness bar.

● Schooling: You can let your pet attend school once it reaches level 4, so they can join class games, and engage in other activities like quizzes and races to achieve diamond points.

● Grooming: Keep pets squeaky clean by dragging the soap bar on top of the pet. All cleaning supplies help increase XP and its happiness and cleanliness levels.

● Feeding: Make sure your pet is well-fed to maintain its happiness levels. There are three types of pet food and paid food gives your pet higher XP growth and fullness points.

● Playing: Keep your pets happy by playing with them on a regular basis. There are three ways to play with your pet:

- Dance to the Music: Follow the beat to increase your pet’s happiness bar. Each song consists of three rounds and will speed up at the end of each round.

- Jump on a Trampoline: Drag the trampoline left and right to make sure your pet stays on it and earns more points.

- Score a Goal in Soccer: Score a goal and increase your pet’s happiness and XP level. Each goal has a corresponding amount of XP.

Remember that you can choose your pet at the start of each cycle and also look forward to dressing them up in adorable clothes—from head to toe! You can also start doing improvements on your pet’s home by level 25, unlocking new themes, and gaining access to upgrades.

During the launch of Shopee Pets on March 3, players can look forward to amazing prizes which include Shopee coins, coins cashback vouchers, and other products such as a Xiaomi Air Purifier, an O'Healthy Electric Juicer Blender, an Acer Aspire 3 laptop, and many more. One lucky player also stands a chance to win ₱100,000 via ShopeePay from March 12 to 16.

Shopee Pets joins a list of other fun in-app games such as Pera Panalo, Shopee Candy, Shopee Farm, Shopee Bubble, and Shopee Claw that have become the favorites of shoppers on the platform. To further enhance the overall online shopping experience, ShopeePay, Shopee's mobile wallet, offers exclusive perks and savings such as daily free shipping and cashback vouchers.
