Donny is the newest face of Belo’s ADVAYouth laser

The process of aging is gradual and varies from person to person. It is generally believed that the signs of aging begin to appear in our mid to late twenties. At this point, the production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for keeping our skin firm and elastic, begins to decrease. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles may start to appear, and the skin may become less firm and elastic.

There’s always a point in our twenties when we ask the million-dollar question: “When exactly do I start aging?” Many sources will give you mixed answers, but Dr. Vicki Belo has a hard and fast answer: “Aging starts at 25, because that’s when your hormones decline.”

It’s not a secret that everybody ages. But how to delay aging is also no longer a mystery. This is where prejuvenation comes in: the practice of starting anti-aging treatments and skincare at a younger age to prevent signs of aging that tend to catch up on us later in life. So what’s the best way to kickstart your era of prejuvenation? Well, Donny Pangilinan just might have the answer to that. 

 

From the face to the name, Donny needs no further introduction, other than him being the newest face of Belo’s ADVAYouth laser. Successfully reviving classic matinee idol charms and unapologetic sweetness with his longtime leading lady, Donny is the poster boy of living your best life in your ‘20s. But those who lead the same life know that being constantly screen-strapped, beach-bound and matted with makeup leaves us exposed to UV damage, acne, acne scars, sun spots and skin texture. 

 

Belo ADVALight is a skin treatment that’s literally a treat for your skin, thanks to the world’s first and only solid-state yellow laser, made up of two wavelengths: one that heals your scars and hyperpigmentation, as well as zaps the bacteria that causes acne, and another that calms down the oiliness and boosts the collagen that keeps wrinkles and fine lines absent. “Prior to ADVALight, we could only treat acne through medicine and topical solutions,” Dr. Belo shares. “Now, because of this laser machine that shrinks pores, inflammation and redness, you can have clear and refined skin by using ADVALight every two weeks, for four to six sessions.” Clearly, ADVALight has all the perks of prejuvenation wrapped up in an easy, hassle-free, and virtually painless 30-minute session you don’t even need to recover from. Suffering from scars that’s not on your face? ADVALight can target those on the body, too.

 

With the help of Donny Pangilinan, Belo invites 20 and 30-something go-getters to keep their eyes on the prize and practice the science of delayed gratification: in a few years, consistent sessions of ADVALight will make you look—and—feel like you’re not a day over 25.

You know its summer when the sun's warm kiss becomes a scorching embrace everytime you go out for just a few minutes..and all you can think about is  which sunscreen would be the best one to use whether its  spf 50/70/100 or higher because you know that staying out in the sun unprotected is like committing skin suicide.

Now is the time to enjoy the sun with Watsons participating sunblock and sunscreen products which protects you from head to toe.

I have tried all the sunblocks that are available in the market. I have a few favorites, its because they are not sticky, gooey and does not leave a white cast or residue to your skin. Thanks to the new technology,  everyone is enjoying their sunblock without the messy feel to it unlike before.

Sunblock or sunscreen is the cheapest beauty invention to prevent premature wrinkles, skin discoloration and dark spots. It also prevent the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation that would lead to skin cancer. There is a tinted moisturizer which I love, I only need a face powder to seal it in.

Avail of COSMOSkin Glutathione at 50% discount at Watsons Big White Blowout and have a chance to win a brand -new iPhone 7!

Since my teenage years ,I’ve always been proud of my morena skin but it doesn’t mean I don’t want to get a bit fairer and have better skin!

It was in 2009 when I started taking Cosmo skin glutathione that was I think the time when glutathione pills became wildly popular and gluta drip or cocktails were still unheard of.

CosmoSkin was recommended by a friend for its whitening side effect but what got me hooked was its promise of being able to even my skin tone. After all, what good is getting whiter if you have uneven skin tone right?

I was in my early 40’s when I started taking it and I was really satisfied with the results. Unfortunately I had to stop taking Como Skin when I left for UAE in 2013. While in UAE I felt a bit weak and sickly, I thought it was because of the weather or because my body was still adjusting to the different work load.

When I came back a year later, however, I still felt the same, but thought it was just due to age. Last year was worse as I had to be treated for a number of ailments (UTI, stye etc..)and although thankfully I wasn’t confined to the hospital, it was still strange for me to get sick numerous times in a year.

I’ve become even more conscious of my diet, avoiding any fatty or oily food, and taking lots of vitamins and supplements but somehow I still felt something was missing.

A few months ago while shopping I saw CosmoSkin again and they were having this Buy 2 take 1 promo at Watsons SM Makati. So I bought two and began taking it again, and that’s when I realized that my body was actually missing Cosmo skin!

You may think it’s a bit far-fetched but somehow I felt like my old self when I began taking CosmoSkin again regularly, I felt stronger and less sickly and I also noticed a change in my skin.

After 3 months of taking it.  I never felt any discomfort in urinating. I stopped taking antibiotics for my UTI I also lost 4 pounds and felt better! I don’t know if its my body clock or the glutathione withdrawal. But the moment, I took Cosmoskin again, I felt better.

Yes CosmoSkin is not cheap, but having to go to the hospital and having to buy medicine is certainly a lot more costly.

Now the good news is Cosmoskin is a part of the Watsons Big White Blowout, and for those who are into Glutathione and whitening, its about time you drop by any Watsons branch and try Cosmoskin. Cosmoskin is having a 50% sale. You can buy one Cosmo Skin with free grapeseed at only php1035.00. 

So if you havent tried it this is the best time to get a bottle and try it out for yourself.

Watsons Big White Blowout also includes hundreds of other whitening products available ranging from whitening soaps, facial creams, body lotions, and deodorants to ingestibles and other skin care brands.

Also if you have an SM Advantage or BDO Rewards card you can have the chance to win a brand-new iPhone 7 as every PHP 500 purchase on whitening products earns you an e-raffle entry. So headover to the nearest Watsons store or The SM Store Beauty Section and be part of the biggest blowout to start the year!
