Ruby Gems Collection: Proudly Filipino Made with natural organic ingredients

If you are about to ask my beauty routine. Ive always incorporate sunblock in my beauty regimen. No matter how expensive or high maintenance you are with your skincare . You should always put sunblock when you are going out of the house.

My morning routine includes my favorite Papaya soap (yes, my ever dependable papaya soap is cheap but a keeper ), toner, sunblock, moisturizer. I used the same products at night but with a night serum.

I have been changing brands since my skin outgrown them for 6 months. It was never easy shopping for skincare. I always allot 5 figures for them. I also rely to testimonials and personal reviews from my favorite beauty website and beauty bloggers abroad. Until today, I am still trying everything when a new skin care is introduced to the market.

I am not young anymore and all the sumpa or wrinkles are visible in my skin, plus the fact that I am menopausal 2 years ago. The weariness and puffiness is visible in my face. Im still  on the look out for an affordable and quality skincare that promises youthful and blemish-free skin.

Last week, I was lucky to attend a skincare launch at FIG Wellness and Products Distribution Services on Sept 7. Ms Ruby Pacis , the CEO and Founding President of Faith in GOD RPM Professional and Technical Services Corporation launches her own skin care products Ruby Gems Collection.

The recently awarded 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the World by the Filipina Women's Network, Ms. Ruby C. Pacis, launched a new product line named after herself. Culled from years of trial-and-error, endless travel around the world, and numerous product purchases, Ms. Ruby finally discovered the perfect skincare suitable for the Asian skin.

Representing the Diamond Collection is Ms. Cristina Alejo-Gabriel, a wellness-advocate, cancer survivor and a gemologist. She was selected because of her clean living and good advocacy, embodying the beauty of a true natural Filipina.

On the other hand, the face behind the Pink Tourmaline Collection is a self-supporting single mom, Ms. Shena Nava. She was selected for her dedication to maintain her beautiful skin despite being an on-the-go working mom.

Lastly, the Blue Sapphire Collection is represented by a Filipino-Japanese young professional, Mr. Haru Lim, who greatly values the importance of maintaining a youthful look despite the stressing demands of the corporate environment.

“I am endorsing Ruby Gems because I believe in it, I believe in what Ruby Pacis creates because I know her so much.

You will not pick and try several different products to maintain your skin because all the skincare routine you need is here in this pouch of beauty”, said Ms. Cristina Gabriel.

"Ruby Gems is a result of my lifelong research to find a product that would complement my skin and most Asians like me. I am a cancer survivor that is why I ensures that my skin care products are not chemical-based and not harmful. Also, my past health treatment burned my skin causing dark blemishes to come out. These reasons compelled me to travel around the world and spend so much to find the perfect product that will be helpful to me. Ruby Gems helped me lighten my dark marks, reduces my fine lines and made my skin whiter. This Ruby Gems Collection is an answered prayer for me and this will be one of the frontline products of FIG Wellness and Products Distribution Center", said Ruby C. Pacis.

Maine Mendoza leads the Shower Rangers as she #FightsWorldGermination

I am OC when it comes to cleanliness and sanitizing my work area. I used to work in a hospital and my doctor friends always advised to wash hands before and after you handle your patients.  That's why I always had my wet wipes and alcohol with me,  a habit that I have been practicing up to this day. 

Diseases today are easily transferred  thru skin to skin contact, handshake or merely touching a sweat of a person. 

Diseases caused by bacteria germs are called bacterial diseases, and those caused by virus germs are called viral diseases.

Diseases like HPV can be transmitted through handshake or just merely touching the skin of a person afflicted with disease.  To those who do not know, HPV can cause cancer.  Just because prevention is better than cure, it is better to arm yourself with sanitizer wherever you are and wash your hands if you can. 

I discovered Hygienix alcohol and sanitizer when I ran out of my sanitizer and bought it randomly at a nearby mall. I immediately switched to Hygienix because of its 99.99%  anti-bacterial germ-kill formula. It has a refreshing and tolerable scent. It never dries the skin.

The Hygienix Germicidal Soap kills 99.99% of germs and common disease-causing bacteria with every use and is available for as low as the super sulit price of 12php.

For those who are always on-the-go like Maine, the pocket-sized Hygienix Germkill Hand Spray and Hygienix Germkill Gel Sanitizer are ideal to keep your hands nourished, refreshed, and moisturized when facing your everyday battle against germs.

Hygienix is also the hands-down choice for Alcohol.  Available in two variants,  the Germkill Alcohol effectively kills germs and disinfects with a mild fragrance; while the Germkill Alcohol with Moisturizer boasts of a moisture balance formula that protects the skin from germs and dryness.
