The guide to making a splash at a pool party

Tweet

One of the most enjoyable things with kids or adult likes during summer, swimming party! A swimming pool is the ability to gather friends and family for pool parties! 

A pool party can be a simple, impromptu gathering or an extremely elaborate affair. The great thing about a pool party is that with their relaxed atmosphere, it’s relatively easy to arrange.

Here's a guide from Electrolux for a simple checklist and get ready to cool off and have fun in the sun!

Set up the time

An email or Facebook invitation works well. Make it clear that it’s a pool party, and that guests should be prepared with towels and swimsuits.

Keep the décor simple

A few simple, creative touches will do the trick. Pool parties demand color, so add some bright tableware, fun decorations and colorful touches– a few vases of flowers and grass skirts to line the food table for a more outdoorsy feel.

The Electrolux Side by Side Refrigerator, ESE6200PD promises freshness and quality with its bigger 20.5 cu. ft. capacity, spacious enough to organize large food storage requirements.

Party details

Set up a table with poolside necessities for your guests. Glassware is a big poolside no-no; use paper cups and colorful paper straws instead.Towels in bright tropical colours, sunscreen, and chilled water should be within easy reach. Refrigerators like the Electrolux ESE6200PD come with Freezer Space Plus that offer extra freezer room so you can quickly chill drinks and keep them cold during the party.

Fruit salad on a stick

Assemble a refreshing and healthy alternative to the usual poolside snack.

Thread rounds of different fruits in season on wooden skewers for a crowd-friendly, easy-to-eat appetizer. 

Organize some games

Most adults would enjoy a game of pool volleyball or basketball. Set up the net in advance or if your guests prefer to chill out, bring out giant “post-worthy” pool floats so your guests can enjoy floating and documenting your party on their social media accounts.

Have a sun-safe summer now, Neutrogena® bares powerful yet skin-friendly sun protection

Tweet

Summer is a great time for fun! Long sunny days filled with swimming, bicycling, hiking, family vacations, and also warm nights around the campfire! 

Protect yourseld and your family from the sun this summer. Don't forget to be kind to your skin. Be careful because summer can also become a great time for sunburns. Keep your body looking fresh by protecting it with a high-quality sunscreen. This summer make putting on sunscreen as habitual.

As yet another hot and humid summer makes its way in, Neutrogena® offers Filipinos a powerfully effective yet skin-friendly way to stay protected from the sun.

The international skin care brand recently unveiled the Ultra Sheer™ sun protection range which features the patented and breakthrough sun protection technology complex Helioplex™.

According to Ella Reyes-David, senior brand manager for Neutrogena Philippines, Helioplex™ was specifically engineered to deliver very high, very broad and photostable UV protection.

“Helioplex™ is photostable which means that it does not lose its effectiveness even with continued exposure to sunlight,” she said. “It also provides the full coverage for UVA/UVB spectrum by harnessing two proven safe and effective sun screens, Avobenzone and Oxybenzone.”

According to the World Health Organization website, UVB is a medium-wavelength type of ultraviolet (UV) radiation which is “very biologically active but cannot penetrate beyond the superficial skin layers.” It causes delayed tanning and burning, and contributes to skin aging and the development of skin cancers.

Filipino-British model, host and blogger Kim Jones was also introduced as the new face of the brand. Jones is a self-confessed Neutrogena® user ever since her growing up years in Australia.

UVA is a “relatively long-wavelength” form of UV radiation that is able to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. It causes immediate tanning, and also contributes to skin aging and wrinkling.

Avobenzone is one of the world’s most powerful UVA absorbers today albeit photo-unstable. Oxybenzone is a very good UVB absorber with some UVA absorbency. Together with the Helioplex™ stabilizing technology, these two provide high, broad spectrum and photostable coverage.

Made for summer

Reyes-David noted that Ultra Sheer with Helioplex™ is “ideal for Philippine summers.”

She added, “It can really get very hot and sticky during summer, even if you’re just walking around the metro. Ultra Sheer with Helioplex™ has Dry Touch™ technology which essentially means that it does not leave that sticky white film or residue upon application. It is also water- and sweat-proof, non-greasy, and in fact, leaves a light velvety feel that doesn’t feel uncomfortable at all.”

Ultra Sheer with Helioplex™ has SPF 50 sun protection range, and has specific variants available for face and body.

Skin-friendly protection

Ultra Sheer with Helioplex™ is among the featured products in Neutrogena®’s recently launched campaign called “Healthy is the New Beauty.” The campaign seeks to debunk common beauty myths and promote healthy and skin-friendly ways to be beautiful.

Ultra Sheer with Helioplex™ can be purchased online, together with other Neutrogena®, products at www.healthybeautycircle.com.
