NeoStrata helps you turn back time

To age gracefully there isnt just one secret. It takes a collection of products that will help you restore, protect and regenerate one's skin. In my experience, I have tried all the skincare that is available in the market. In fact,  one set of a famous anti-aging skincare went plateau on my skin for 5 years of continuous use. That's why I am always changing skincare products every now and then and still on the lookout for that one anti-aging skincare to help me turn back time. 

For a skincare that can help correct the signs of aging while preventing future damage, look no further with Neostrata. I'll be trying out their samples this week and will let you know.


DMARK Beauty Corporation celebrates 20 years of a successful partnership with Neostrata and launches The New Skin Active Line , it is a collection of premium products designed for maximum, noticeable results in potent formulations where results continue to build with time. 

Since its inception in 1998, DMARK Beauty Corporation has been providing Beauty Solutions Beyond Compare. For more than 20 years, the company has been at the forefront of the Philippine aesthetic beauty industry based on a culture of innovation, quality, excellence, and integrity. Under the leadership of its CEO, beautypreneur Nikki Tang, the company has been known for introducing incomparable anti-aging solutions to customers – revolutionizing the field of skin care and beauty aesthetics across the country to empower men and women by building their self-esteem.

Trusted by medical professionals and consumers all over the Philippines, DMARK Beauty Corporation is the market leader in the distribution of effective anti-aging skin care and minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment. The company’s products are available nationwide in dermatology clinics, aesthetic centers, beauty and personal care stores, and e-commerce sites. With its omnichannel marketing efforts, the company aims to create meaningful connection and engagement with its customers.

“It warms my heart to see how, over the years, DMARK Beauty Corporation has achieved so much,” the transcendent Nikki Tang said. “We have flown to greater heights, and now we are even more excited about what the future holds!”

As anti-aging technology in dermatology continued to evolve, its impact on the dynamic beauty aesthetic industry had a positive effect on DMARK’s stakeholders, employees and customers. But even with the aesthetic industry’s rapid progression, DMARK Beauty Corporation’s core values and commitment to providing advanced care for the face, body, and hair will never falter. Today, the company is focused on finding breakthroughs in skin wellness. It has expanded into medical aesthetic devices for face, body and overall wellness.

New Layers of Beauty 

One of DMARK Beauty Corporation’s bestselling brands, NeoStrata, has a passion for developing the very best in anti-aging skin care. From the onset, NeoStrata founders Dr. Eugene Van Scott and Dr. Ruey Yu discovered novel ingredients that have advanced the science of dermatology. Their commitment to discovery and quest for innovation in skin revitalization has helped to revolutionize physician grade skin care for more than forty years. 

On a mission to help people by helping their skin, the name “NeoStrata” translates to “new layers” – two words that perfectly describe the brand’s skin care philosophy and belief that visible results come from renewing layers of the skin. The brand’s team of researchers has been studying topical skin care ingredients for over four decades, discovering and patenting some of the best-known technologies, like Glycolic Acid, which have been licensed within the skin care industry worldwide.

This dedication and deeply embedded passion continue today in the laboratories of NeoStrata with the careful crafting of elegant, highly effective formulations, with results proven by rigorous studies. Each NeoStrata product is backed by the highest standards of quality and effectiveness to deliver products and results.

DMARK Beauty Corporation has been NeoStrata’s official distributor in the Philippines for two decades and counting. Thanks to this partnership, Filipinos are able to enjoy and experience for themselves NeoStrata’s wonderfully effective and state-of-the-art products. 

“All women are beautiful, but sometimes, we have to polish that beauty to bring out the best in it,” Nikki Tang explains. “I know that there are few women who are truly satisfied and content with their skin, and that’s why I’m happy to have been partnering with NeoStrata for all these years. Together, DMARK and NeoStrata work together to help our customers combat the effects of aging, and to help them be vigilant in protecting their bodily assets. I am so happy that DMARK is the official distributor of NeoStrata in the country, and that there is so much more to come from this exciting friendship.”

Celebrating 20 years of a successful partnership and counting, DMARK Beauty Corporation and NeoStrata are ready to begin a new chapter.

Freshly brewed beers and great food at The Brewery at the Palace

Back in the day when the only beer flavor I have tasted is the usual hop (from the bottle and in can,) (the bitterness comes from the generous amount of hops, yellow to brown in color). I always got the kick drinking my beer from the chiller, I love how the frozen beer tasted,  the frozen state flattens the bitterness  and compliments the food I love to pair.   In those days to enjoy my chilled beer I have to partner it with peanuts, tacos. pizza, chicken sandwich, and or  rice toppings! I cant imagine drinking it unchilled, as I dont want to savor the flavor of hops, I have no choice then.

Only recently did I know that beer has flavor categories, from hop to malt to fruity. and that the darker your beer is, the better digestion  you'll get as it contains one gram of soluble fiber, Im eyeing my Stout now. It also helps lowering your bad cholesterol, so it is good for the heart then.   There are so many health benefits from beer but the thing is you have to drink in moderation in order to achieve this.

 The Brewery at the Palace at BGC, celebrate its soft opening for the media last August 7.  This is the place where you can enjoy freshly brewed beer with great food, live bands and cocktail beers.
There are four artisanal beers to try on the list, each brewed in a precise way from malts, hops, yeast, and water to achieve a distinct flavor, aroma, and taste.

A selection of specialty beers on tap is a source of pride for The Brewery, prepared fresh everyday from its very own microbrewery – the largest of its kind in town. The microbrewery is a permanent fixture housed at the mezzanine floor, and shares the restaurant’s ample two-storey space with an open stage for performing bands, a fully-stocked bar, and dining area.

L-R, Stout, Wheat, IPA and the Pilsner

Stout or Brown Ale (p210) has a hint of coffee flavor that  gives its distinct appeal and has just the right kick with 4.7% alcohol content. Fresh and fruity sums up the flavor profile of Wheat (p200), which packs a  4.5% alcohol content. IPA or Indian Pale Ale (p220) is a malty bitter contrast to pilsner with a golden amber and 5% alcohol content. Pilsner (p180) is a Czech light lager style, clear and golden in color with 4.3% alcohol content. The Brewery will launch other beer flavors with local infusions like honey and ginger.


A beer would not be complete without the food pairing, Chef Carlo Miguel, one of the business owners provide the best food and or pulutan, from eclectic mix of starters and sides, delicious bar fare, pizzas, savory sandwiches, succulent steaks, varieties of pasta, and scrumptious desserts. He uses beer as an ingredient to some of his specialty dishes.

The place, which is usually packed with mostly young professionals coming from nearby offices in the area, is run by the same owners and operators of The Distillery Group, a company whose reputation is built on its serious appreciation for beer and food.

Thanks to Rico Blanco, who happens to be one of the men behind The Brewery,  making  sure live entertainment hits the spot and is always exciting.
