Asian Secrets to give you the most luxurious and relaxing treatments

Tweet

Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub is a beauty treatment inspired by the most luxurious Javanese ritual called Lulur. Asian Secrets has different variants of body soaps and lulur scrubs to beautify, smoothen and whiten the skin.

Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub is a beauty treatment inspired by the most luxurious Javanese ritual called Lulur. The ritual was originally intended for the bride-to-be in order to beautify, smoothen, and whiten her skin before her wedding day.

Lulur originated from the royal palaces of Java, Indonesia and products inspired by this traditional treatment are still used by Indonesian women today.

The Asian Secrets Whitening Spa is now introducing a more luxurious way to whitening. The spa just opened last July 11, 2013 and has now made the Lulur Whitening Ritual available to everyone. The Javanese Lulur, a 300-year-old royal purifying ritual, was once exclusively used by brides-to-be from the royalty, 40 days before their wedding day. Javanese princesses were treated with the Lulur ritual everyday to whiten and smoothen their skin so that they will be most attractive especially on their most awaited day. This royal Javanese ritual became a tradition passed down through generations, and has now been enjoyed as a purifying indulgence by men and women. 

This privilege can now be enjoyed at the Asian Secrets Whitening Spa as a whitening and relaxing experience. 

One of the best ways to keep your skin young and attractive is to regularly get a body scrub. Body scrubs improve skin complexion as it polishes the skin and removes dead skin cells. However, you should be careful that the body scrub you use will not be harsh to your skin. Unlike the jagged edges of many body scrubs, the Asian Secrets scrub has spherical beads that gently roll over the skin when applied. This gentle exfoliation leaves your skin smooth and supple without being abrasive to your skin. 

The Asian Secrets Whitening Spa specializes in whitening body scrub services. The therapists have been professionally trained in the Lulur dry scrubbing method that effectively yet gently exfoliates the skin. Moreover, the spa’s ritual has been developed to target body areas prone to darkening, giving the skin an even-toned and whiter glow. 

A signature massage service is also offered for individuals who want to relax and unwind. Unlike the typical massage, which uses massage oils, the Asian Secrets Whitening Spa uses its signature whitening body lotion to hydrate and whiten the skin. Its signature massage also consists of the spa’s signature body strokes that are targeted to relieve stress and rejuvenate the body. The spa also offers whitening body wrap services for those who want to fully indulge and whiten their skin. 

The spa highly recommends its relaxing and whitening treatment packages where you can enjoy both the whitening body scrub and signature massage. This treatment starts with a total body exfoliation using the Lulur body scrub recipe. Traditional dry scrubbing is done using the spa’s signature sequence specifically made to effectively remove dead skin while also targeting areas prone to darkening. The Lulur scrub is followed by a warm bath while using the Asian Secrets Bengkoang Soap. The ritual is completed by the spa’s signature massage. This luxurious indulgence takes approximately 80 minutes. After the Lulur treatment, the skin immediately becomes soft, smooth and glowing.

Newest Service: Lulur Brightening Facials

Aside from this, Lulur whitening facials are now offered at the spa to beautifully brighten the complexion and to complete the whitening experience. One can choose from a range of facial services from express brightening facials, to facials with comedone extractions, and to facial services with infused lymphatic facial massage. These services not only bring back the glow of the skin, but also relieve stress buildup by relaxing tense facial muscles and by triggering lymphatic flow to cleanse the face of toxins.

“Last year, when HP started with the first Write and Read, our vision was simply, to inspire. We wanted to reach a handful of students and change how they perceive learning. This year, as we culminate the HP Write and Read 2, we realized that we have reached so much more, and we were able to share to more audience HP’s commitment to creativity, education and of course, learning,’says Franco Flameno, HP’s Marketing Development Manager for Consumer Printers. 

“HP is thankful to both partners, DepEd and our Write and Read ambassador, Efren Penaflorida, for believing in the HP vision, and agreeing to partner with us.”

“THE PRODUCERS,” the happiest and gayest musical in the universe

Tweet

THE PRODUCERS, the biggest hit in Broadway history, is all set to conquer Manila’s theater scene when the musical opens on November 15 at Onstage, Greenbelt 1, Makati City.

Presented by Repertory Philippines in celebration of its 46th year, THE PRODUCERS (based on Mel Brooks’s 1968 hit movie) has become a Broadway phenomenon, turning the tradition of a Broadway musical on its head more than any other show in the history of the Great White Way. With a run of over 2,500 shows on Broadway, over two years at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane and many hundreds of shows performed on tour and international productions, THE PRODUCERS is one of the most highly awarded musicals, having received 12 Tony Awards and 10 Drama Desk Awards in 2001 and three Laurence Olivier Awards in 2005. A remake of the big-screen version in 2005 featured Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, the stars of the original Broadway production, as well as Uma Thurman and Will Ferrell.

Written by Hollywood comic veteran Mel Brooks (creator of SPACEBALLS, BLAZING SADDLES, and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, among many others), and Thomas Meehan (HAIRSPRAY), with songs arranged by Glen Kelly and Doug Besterman, THE PRODUCERS is a story about Max Bialystock, a struggling Broadway producer and Leo Bloom, a stage-struck accountant. These two men join forces in order to make mega-bucks by producing the worst musical ever seen on Broadway. When they receive a musical script from Franz Liebkind, an ex-Nazi stormtrooper, which tells the story of Hitler’s rise to power in song and dance, they are convinced that they have found a show that is guaranteed to offend just about everybody.

The Philippine production of THE PRODUCERS will be directed by Jaime del Mundo, with the able support of top caliber actors CARLO OROSA and ROBIE ZIALCITA alternating as Max Bialystock, the down-on-his-luck theatrical producer and a shameless con man facing bankruptcy, who woos little old ladies into backing his shows.

TOPPER FABREGAS takes on the role of Leopold ‘Leo’ Bloom, a mousy mild-mannered accountant who transitions from an uptight corporate drone to a freewheeling Broadway playboy.

Media icon G TÖNGI will tackle the role of Ulla, a blonde Swedish bombshell who auditions for the show and becomes Max and Leo’s secretary/receptionist.

Actor-director JOEL TRINIDAD plays Franz Liebkind, a former Nazi whose play is chosen by Max and Leo as a definite flop.

Stage and screen veteran NOEL TRINIDAD (Joel’s father) takes on the role of Roger De Bris, the flamboyant homosexual cross-dresser chosen to direct the show. He will be alternating with role of Roger with one of the icons of Philippine musical theater AUDIE GEMORA.

Versatile actor NOEL RAYOS will take the role of Carmen Ghia, Roger’s “common law assistant.”

The ensemble is composed of Nelsito Gomez, Steven Conde, Tristan Cheng, Jay Pangilinan, Chino Veguillas, Leroy de Guzman, Natalie Everett, Daff Abear, Liesl Batucan, Mica Pineda, Shalee Vicencio, and Gemini Quintos.

Co-presented by the City of Makati, THE PRODUCERS promises to be a Broadway thrill ride, with silly gags, irreverent humor, and show-stopping musical numbers at every turn.
