Your Foolproof Guide to Summer Skincare and Makeup Essentials with Shopee Beauty

Tweet

Summer’s upon us once again! How are you dealing with the sweltering heat? As we stay home, the challenge is looking cool and crisp for all our online meetings and managing hulas and sweat stains. To look and feel fresh this summer, you need lightweight and non-sticky beauty products that won’t just hold up throughout the day, but also protect your skin from the harsh heat. Focus on looking for gentle, hydrating ingredients.

From hair care to makeup, Shopee Beauty has all your summer makeup and skincare needs! Starting April 21, enjoy up to 90% off when you buy your beauty essentials on Shopee. Here’s a roundup of the products you need in order to stay sleek despite the heat:

The first step to beating the summer heat is a thorough cleanse. Choose a non-comedogenic facial wash as it won’t clog your pores. Neutrogena Foaming Cleanser removes excess sebum while maintaining your skin’s natural moisture balance. Are you prone to oily, congested skin during summer? Remove pesky little blackheads without damaging your skin by choosing a product with healing ingredients. Breylee Blackhead Mask contains centella asiatica extract to soothe broken, irritated skin. If you’re shaving more often these days so you can enjoy sleeveless tops, don’t forget to give your pits extra TLC. NIVEA Deodorant is made with aloe vera, which can help heal razor cuts and prevent ingrown hairs. Lastly, all that sweating isn’t good for the scalp, so de-clog your hair follicles with Palmolive Shampoo. It’s infused with natural lemon oil, which removes dead skin cells and dandruff. 

Suffering from prickly heat? Give yourself a luxurious shower with Dove Body Wash. It’s packed with avocado oil, which helps red, itchy skin calm down. If you’re too shy to wear shorts because of dark spots on your legs, Vaseline Gel Lotion, which contains niacinamide, can give you flawless gams. You’ll also love its easily absorbable and minty formulation that’s perfect for humid days. The excessive heat can damage your hair, so restore it to its healthy appearance with Cream Silk Conditioner. It contains argan, rosehip, and marula oils, which protect damaged follicles, encourage hair growth, and tame frizz. 

Want to go foundation-free to let your skin breathe? Use Vitamin C to brighten dark spots so you can finally flaunt a bare face. Aside from Vitamin C, Lanbena Vitamin C Serum is packed with hyaluronic acid to moisturize the skin. Meanwhile, retinol is your best bet against aging—it significantly reduces wrinkles and fine lines. Pond’s Day and Night Cream contains not just retinol, but also niacinamide and hyaluronic acid for clear and hydrated skin. Suffering from dry, brittle locks? Protein treatments strengthen keratin in your hair and promote growth. With L’Oreal Repair Mask’s gold quinoa and protein extracts, your hair will truly look like your crowning glory.

Hot summer days require makeup products that won’t slide off your face. Oil-free, water-based makeup is the way to go! For that natural flush, dab Maybelline Gel Blush onto your cheeks. It’s lightweight and blendable, so you don’t need to worry about overapplying it. For brows that stay put no matter how sweaty you get, choose gel formulations. With Sace Lady Eyebrow Gel, you can draw long-lasting, natural-looking arches with its creamy gel texture.

Easy makeup tricks to try with Careline Multi Sticks

Tweet

Are you one for simple and uncomplicated makeup? Or just starting out and don’t know the proper makeup techniques? Luckily, there is a product that’s user-friendly and don’t require much (or any!) tools for a quick beauty fix. That’s Careline’s Multi Sticks (P196).

Careline’s Multi Sticks

They’re available in a creamy formula that is made to blur, correct, conceal, contour, highlight, and add color. So grab those Multi Sticks and try out these easy makeup tricks:

 

Make makeup last longer. 

Use the Blur Stick as a primer so your makeup stays on longer. Apply them on areas like the T-zone and cheeks to minimize pores and help the products mesh well on the skin.   

Conceal under your eyes with an inverted triangle shape. 

With the Brighten Stick, draw the base of the triangle under your lower lash line and the tip on the apples of the cheek. Gently dab product with your clean finger until blended seamlessly on the skin. This conceals any redness and shadows to create an illusion of brighter under eyes.

Use the Contour Stick handle as a contour guide. 

We all have different face shapes. To determine where you should be placing your contour, roll the Contour Stick handle below your cheekbone. Once you’ve found the correct placement, mark with the contour and blend to smudge out harsh lines.

Shorten your beauty routine with the 3-in-one Color Sticks. 

One of the easiest ways to add a healthy glow to the face is to add color on the eyes, cheeks, and lips. Try it with the Careline Rose Stick or Peach Stick. Make sure to blend well to make it appear more natural.

Try these easy-to-use products from Careline and look beautiful any time of the day. Careline Multi Sticks are available on Careline’s official page on Shopee (bit.ly/CarelineShopee) and Lazada (bit.ly/CarelineLazada).

Modern ageing with grace-empowered Kaki persimmon soap

Tweet

Asia’s best kept secret of youthful and firm complexion revealed—

in the power of Japanese Persimmon.

Manila, Philippines – Numbers that indicate progress in a person’s lives can sometimes be daunting especially for women. In fact, age is often left off the table during conversations, but what if it doesn’t have to be? Fortunately, a new soap that empowers ladies to age gracefully is emerging in the Philippines.

Nonenal among ageing people is often caused by hormonal imbalance but with a pure soap that cleanses the body, smell might as well be a non-issue. This is what KAKI promises as a consumer brand.

KAKI is a new persimmon-based soap that indulges the body into a regenerated state, away from unwanted odors, discoloration, and firmness of skin.

Gina, 42, a bachelorette shares what she noticed after a month of continued use of the soap.

“I no longer feel insecure because KAKI takes care of my body. I used to be so conscious of how I smell because I easily sweat. Now because of Kaki, I feel very confident even after a long day in the sun or even working out.”

The same sentiment is also observed even in more mature ladies. Retired teacher, Angela, 56, says: “My skin feels very light and plump, and it reminds me of my younger days. My children and even my apos are not taken aback by my smell and they love bonding with me. This means a lot to me now that I can focus on my own grandchildren after teaching in a school for decades.”

Unravel the secret of the fountain of youth through this premium fruit found in Japan.

Unique in gentleness to the skin and purifying effect, KAKI is without harsh chemicals that promise to speed-up skin lightening or exfoliates the skin more often than it needs to.

KAKI’s Founder and CEO share her vision for the brand, “At Kaki, we truly aim to empower ladies to age worry-free. We can keep them flawless so they can have the time and energy to focus on what makes them happy. Our running joke internally is that if you use the Kaki soap, life can begin even beyond 40!”

Apart from the immediate effects on the body, KAKI also lessens the nonenal on pillowcases and bed sheets of its consumer and detoxifies without stripping the body of its natural oils. It also comes with a feminine foam wash for the sensitive parts of the ladies.

New and promising persimmon-based soap is a holy grail for ladies over 40.

Kaki keeps the side effects of ageing away and assures its users that ageing, like coming-of-age, should not have a wisp of embarrassment but a treasured phase of grace and poise.

*KAKI is available at Shopee and Lazada starting at Php 160 and foam wash at Php 350.

 

 

 

Healthy, hydrated skin does not go out of style

Tweet

Fashion, wherever you are in the world, changes as the seasons shift. When summer transitions into the rainy season, trust the shortest of dresses to become the longest of clothes. 

Fashion also responds to the call of the times. During this pandemic, PPE’s and face masks have become the current IN thing to the sport by Manila’s stylish set.

But while fashion adapts to changes, and addresses certain needs, one thing that never goes offseason is the need to care for health. Luckily, the women of today have certainly learned to take a more proactive stance towards their health. Unlike a fashion emergency that may leave a gaping hole or a loose button, they understand that it may take more than a minor stitch or a small patch to address health conditions.

Because 2020 has put us amid a terrible health war, immunity has become not just a buzz word, but the battle cry. And while immunity is something some women have invested in like a good piece of clothing or shoes, some have taken the extra step to put their hearts and minds to where their total health is concerned.

THE HEALTH ENSEMBLE

More and more women have learned not just to value a stronger immune system, but to give equal importance to caring for the other parts of their body, particularly their skin. Feeling and looking good on the whole, makes them feel healthier and more confident.

WEARING HEALTHY SKIN

The skin is the largest organ of the body¹ and it makes perfect sense to give it due attention. At about age 30, Filipinas start experiencing early indications of aging including dry skin and wrinkles. Women do not realize it but these are actually telltale signs that their skin may be dehydrated, or lacking in moisture. Other signs of dehydration could include dull, tight, sensitive skin, flaky skin, and at times, fine lines. Unbeknownst to many, even oily skin could be considered dehydrated skin.

HEALTH MUST-HAVE

To address the skin’s need for hydration, many women have turned to collagen.

Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body that provides structural support for connective tissues, muscles, and skin.

Collagen helps the skin become healthy by maintaining its strength and elasticity and enables it to bounce back into shape. 

But as we age, our bodies lose the ability to produce collagen, and collagen usually depletes in time. This reduces the skin’s ability to bounce back, become less flexible, and thereby results in dryness or lack of moisture, which causes wrinkles.

Enter Vitamin C.

The secret that some of you may not know yet is that Vitamin C does help keep our skin healthy. It plays a vital role in the production of collagen by making the process of hydroxylation possible. 

So aside from helping to strengthen our immune system, and protecting us from cough, and colds.⁵Vitamin C is essential to collagen formation, promoting healthy, hydrated skin and hair.

COMPLEMENTING SKIN HEALTH

Just like the next big thing in fashion, a good accessory is the best complement to a well-pulled off look. But when it comes to our health, since our bodies do not naturally produce Vitamin C, taking supplements could very well enhance and complement our daily health habits.

The number 1 Adult Brand in Vitamin C, Poten-Cee⁷ recently rolled out the red carpet for its Poten-Cee + C variant, with fashion icon Heart Evangelista as its brand ambassadress. The heart is looked up to by many Filipinas for her beautiful skin, and the healthy habits she espouses.

Poten-Cee + C is a supplement that combines both Vitamin C and Collagen. And because it is in a hydrolyzed or broken-down format,⁸ this protein can be easily absorbed by the body and help hydrate the skin and prevent the onset of wrinkles.

One cannot stress enough the importance of health, especially immunity nowadays. But with Poten-Cee + C, the chance to also achieve healthy, glowing skin is a plus! Healthy, hydrated skin, after all, is one that will always be IN, no matter what’s OUT there.

Living good life and leadership skills help you achieve an unshakable faith in yourself and know and feel the true meaning of life.

As the coronavirus pandemic gives people all over the world stressful and an self-isolation, one woman has created a simple way for employees and friends to help each other....truly, a businesswoman with a heart.

When the government placed the entire island of Luzon under enhanced community quarantine starting March 17, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Skin Magical, headed by Founder and Chief Operating Officer Ghie Pangilinan, and its subsidiaries wasted no time and extended a helping hand to their employees, distributors, franchisees, the communityand frontliners in health facilities.

For her 242 employees, Pangilinan prepared rice and food packs that included canned and instant foods items. She was more creative with her relief efforts when it came to Skin Magical and Speaks G’s distributors and franchisees. Through her ambassadors Madam Kilay and Lars Pachecho, they were able to giveaway a P1,000 each to her distributors and franchises for a total of P140,000.

Pangilinan also held live raffles and gave away P500 each to 50 winners and P1,000 each to 40 winners. Twenty reseller packages worth P5,000 given away to those who took part in the Kwento ng Pag-asa Laban sa Corona. On Easter Sunday, which fell on April 12, Skin Magical and Speaks G conducted a virtual egg hunt. A total of 14 winners received a cash prize of P3,000 from Skin Magical while Speaks G gave P3,000 to 10 lucky winners. On Mother’s Day last May 10, Pangilinan’s Nanay Ko To Gandang Palaban gave away 24 reseller packages worth P2,500.

“No one expected this to happen and this was my little way of sharing what I have with my employees, distributors and franchisees,” Pangilinan said. “I am thankful for their support and I would not be where I am if not for them.”

The Skin Magical COO did not forget to extend a helping hand to the community where her business is located in Morong. Rizal. She distributed rice to residents in Barangays San Pedro, San Juan, San Jose, Maybancal, CCL, Lagundi and Bombongan. She was also able to send out meals and essential products to the hospital frontliners of Rizal Provincial Hospital, Morong Doctors Hospital, Dialysis Center Morong, Quirino Memorial Medical Center and the frontliners of Pililia. Rizal and Abra. Lastly, relief efforts were also extended in Bulacan as an initiative of Mr. Jerry Pangilinan, Skin Magical CEO and husband of Ms. Ghie Pangilinan.

“Skin Magical truly cares about our people and our community and we should not forget the valuable contribution of our frontliners,” she said. “They are risking their lives to make sure that everyone is safe from this virus and we can do our share by just staying at home."

Best ways to brighten skin and boost its glow, look lush, luscious, and lovely with SvelTi’s Lavieen

Tweet

Great skin makes you look younger and feel healthier no matter what your age or physical condition.

There are many ways of taking care of your skin give you the opportunity for some serious pampering. 

If you love your B.B. cream, this B.B. Laser is the high-tech version

Let your skin shine despite the gloomy weather and a depressive atmosphere. Your radiance can blaze through the shadow of anxieties that a lot of your friends carry. As for those pesky blackheads and pimples that can get you feeling down, they can vanish from the affected parts of your face. 

You will walk through life with a renewed confidence in your own beauty, starting with a flawless skin.

It all begins with Lavieen, the state-of-the-art laser technology that has elevated the standards of skin care to new heights. Also known as B.B. Laser, Lavieen uses thulium laser to emit pulses of searing, soft light into your skin, penetrating deep into its epidermis and dermis layers. 

That means both layers of your skin are being treated with rigorous medical precision: the surface, which is regularly exposed to skin, dirt, and other risk factors; and the inner parts which actually produce the collagen and other substances that are responsible for healing and rejuvenating your skin. This makes the treatment of Lavieen more effective and long-lasting.

The laser lights do not just remove the external effects of the pollutants (which is important, by the way)---but they release the nutrients that are already in your skin to combat any toxins that enter your body, weeding them out and their effects. After one treatment, your skin does not just glow --- it also becomes healthier and more resistant to disease and the breakout of pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and other blemishes.

You can see the positive changes after just one session, so better keep your camera and Instagram account right beside you in your treatment room.

One session only takes 30-40 minutes. You can easily go back to the office, home, or your shopping spree, looking fresh-faced than the people around you. There are no side effects, and no surgery is needed. The treatment takes place in a very private comfortable room. The nurse in charge will go through your medical history and give you personalized advice as to how Lavieen can be maximized to bring about your desired results. 

The procedure is very relaxing because you will spend it lying on a medical bed as it is being administered. You can even sleep while the nurse does her work!

The nurse will cleanse your face first before activating the Lavieen laser tech on it. Once the laser pulses are emitted into the blemishes you want removed, you will feel a trickle of heat that resembles a soothing electrical touch. The nurse can adjust the intensity of the laser, depending on your level of comfort. You will notice that no other equipment is needed: no tweezers or other surgical tools to pry those pimples out.

What you will also see immediately after the treatment is done is a glowing face that looks bright and attractive, sans make-up!

There are a few simple easy rules to follow after the session:

*Use sun protection (SPF 50+) daily at all times. Continue applying it at least 6 months after the completion of the treatment 

*Do not use any make-up for 24 to 48 hours after the treatment. 

*Avoid exposure to natural or artificial light and sources of direct heat up to 72 hours. 

*Washing of treated areas is not allowed 24-48 hours after the treatment.

Nothing makes you feel as confident as having glowing, radiant skin. 

So go ahead--make your skin glow. You deserve to look and feel fabulous.

Real Talk - Maxi-Peel Encourages Women with Troubled Skin : “Wag Mong Isuko Ang Laban!”

Tweet

For real, acne breakouts can be frustrating, and they can also leave scars on the face and other areas of the body. Some people find that acne scars are an unwanted reminder of a painful and bothersome condition.

Have you ever been judged because of your looks? Or rejected because your skin wasn’t perfect? 

Recently, we met the four brave women who experienced negativity that have impacted their lives in a lot of ways simply because of a skin condition — acne.

We see it every day, a lot of us have had acne at some point in our lives, but for these women, it’s the source of an undying insecurity, causing them pain that goes beyond skin deep, scarring not only their faces, but also their self-esteem.

And in a society where looks and aesthetic is very influential, thefight for respect and equality is a lifelong struggle for people with pimples. 

But that fight is a fight that Maxi-Peel is unwilling to give up. The brand’s mission is to amplify the voices of those who have been misjudged, ridiculed, and discriminated because of their acne through their newest campaign — 

“'Wag Mong Isuko ang Laban”. (Don’t Give Up the Fight)

Maxi-Peel puts their brand on the line with a documentary campaignthat follows 4 women from different walks of life in a 60-day journey with Maxi-Peel Exfoliant Solutions, capturing real progress, with real results in real time. 

The campaign begins with a heart-wrenching 60-second testimonial video of these 4 women telling everyone what society tells them every day. 

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8Y2RbkvDD4)

“Alam mo Kata, mas maganda ka sana kung kasing kinis ng legs mo yung mukha mo.” 

Kata San Mateo, a digital marketing head and an aspiring artist, recalls a painful moment during her acne breakout. Teary-eyed, she continues, “Siyempre tatawa-tawa lang ako pero sa loob loob ko, sobra na.”

“Bakit siya ‘yung napiling host, eh ang dami niyang pimples?” 

Andrea Roces, a retail manager and an active humanitarian says pimples have affected her work and her credibility, damaging her self-esteem and self-belief, “The confidence I’ve built for many years, it all goes away.”

“Honestly, lately hindi ako lumalabas ng bahay. There’s this misconception na ‘pag ma-pimple ka, madumi ka kaya sometimes I feel hopeless.” 

A former special education teacher, now a full-time mom, Angeline Carandang powers through the negativity, despite an overwhelming feeling of insecurity, “Behind this face, I can be a great mom… matatapos din ‘to, ngayon lang ‘to.”

“Nakulam ka ba… Naagnas ka na” Joepy Libo-on, a cum laude graduate who is now working as a marketing manager, still remembers some of the most painful things people have told her. “Before n’ung sobrang lala talaga ng pimples ko, there was a time na sobrang bumabang self-esteem ko.”

Through real stories from real people, Maxi-Peel aims to open our eyes and minds to the truth behind acne. That removing pimples is notjust about being beautiful, or achieving smoother skin, or to gain more followers, those are just the aesthetic effects. 

The real purpose of the brand is to help Filipinos treat and cure an actual skin condition, boosttheir self-confidence, revive their self-belief, and empower them to have a fighting chance against prejudice and discrimination.

This fight isn’t just about the face, this fight is about facing challenges head on, and acknowledging that it’s only just a phase. Never quitting, never stopping. To all Filipino women out there who have lost their confidence, hope is not lost. 

You can get past this, in your fight against acne and all its inherent negativity, “Wag Mong Isuko Ang Laban”.
