These are surprising things that could damage our skin.  Sleeping with our make ups on, can clogged pores and cause acne to erupt. Skipping meals alone could age our skin faster and may result to dry skin, testing makeup samples at a department store which are not sanitized could harm our skin because of the bacteria found in the samples.  Not getting the recommended 8 hours of sleep and stress alone is the heavyweight knockout among others.  Not only can it cause blemishes, dullness, and rashes, but stress lines from facial movements will also ingrain in our skin over time.

But the number 1 skin stressor that we are not yet aware of is the constant exposure to gadgets that we are using,   studies on cellphone safety in 2011 concluded that cellphones were “possibly carcinogenic” and that the devices could be as harmful as certain dry-cleaning chemicals and pesticides. With that said, we should exercise extra precaution and most probably have ourselves checked up for possible skin damage.

Ponds PH recently unveils Ponds Institute located at the heart of Bonifacio Global City. The event was hosted by celebrity ambassador Ms. Iza Calzado last Feb 4 at the Top Shelf, Fully Booked, BGC. The Pond’s Institute offers a slew of services that cater to every Filipina’s skin care needs. Upon entering the institute, women can find out their particular skin concerns through the Skin Analyzer. With the results of the test, they can get a customized skincare regimen from Pond’s Beauty Advisers. What’s more---the Pond’s Institute offers free dermatologist consultations every Saturday.

“We want Filipinas to get the expert skincare and beauty they deserve,” shares Mian Datu-David, Unilever Philippines’ Marketing Director for Skin. “We invite every Filipina to discover what’s behind the doors of the Pond’s Institute, because we believe that the beautiful stories of your lives should leave a mark in the world, not on your face.”

A global network of 700 researchers and scientists, the Pond’s Institute has developed over 200 patented skincare innovations for women around the world.


With the changing environment, recent discoveries reveal that skin damage is something that you can’t really escape. Every day, our skin faces innumerable pollutants brought about by urbanization---from dangerous nanoparticles that are 20 times smaller than pores and easily infiltrate the layers of our skin, to increased UV exposure by up to 85% through electronic devices, and oxidative damage that causes skin to degenerate; our skin has been taking a beating, and the effects are taking a toll on our complexion.

The human skin is simply not designed for the world we live in today. Now, more than ever, we need an expert solution to help our skin cope with and thrive in these changing times.
