7 Beauty Tips that Actually Work

Throughout the years, we’ve seen just how quickly beauty fads change. We’ve witnessed the industry’s evolution, from yesteryears’ contouring and highlighting trends to today’s more natural, glowy looks.

That said, the fundamentals of beauty pretty much stay the same. After all, whichever look you’re going for, you still need to know the basics of taking proper care of your skin, or of picking out shades that work wonders for your skin tone. 

 

Below, we’ve rounded up a few skincare, hair care, and makeup how-tos for beauty lovers. We’ve also included product recommendations, which you can get for up to 90% off at the Shopee Beauty Sale starting July 28: 

 

1. Wear sunscreen even while staying indoors

 

Rain or shine, it’s important to protect your skin against harmful UV rays. If you’re indoors, keep in mind that these rays can still penetrate windows. After your morning skincare, apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. SNAILWHITE CC Sunscreen comes with SPF50+ PA+++ and provides natural coverage.

 

2. Gently pat your skincare on

 

 

The lightweight Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is perfect for the Philippines’ hot and humid climate. Squeeze a generous amount onto your fingertips and softly pat—don’t rub—on your face. A patting motion is more gentle on the skin. For thin skin surrounding the eye area, use your ring finger to help prevent wrinkles. 

 

 

3. Don’t shampoo everyday

 

 

Did you know that shampooing everyday actually strips the scalp of natural oils? Try shampooing every other day instead. During the days in between, use Palmolive Naturals Dry Shampoo to freshen up your locks. Spritz on sections of your hair for fragrant, floral-scented tresses. 

 

 

4. Don’t apply too much mascara to avoid clumps

 

 

If clumpy spider lashes are the bane of your existence, here’s a little trick: always wipe off excess product on your mascara wand before wiggling it up your lashes. With Maybelline Lash Lift Mascara’s double curved wand, you can enjoy dramatic volume and lift minus the clumps.

 

 

 

5. Make your foundation look like second skin

 

 

Prior to applying foundation, create a glowing canvas by moisturizing your skin. Next, buff in your foundation of choice, blending from the center of your face outward. For a natural look, Ellana Buttermilk BB Foundie lends the skin medium coverage and a radiant finish. 

 

6. Prep your lips before applying lip products

 

 

Take a look in most Filipinas’ makeup bags, and you’ll definitely find a lip tint. Happy Skin Lip & Cheek Tint, for instance, offers a variety of morena-friendly colors. For smooth, juicy lips, exfoliate gently and swipe on a lip balm. Then apply the tint to the center of your lips and use your finger to diffuse the color. 

 

 

7. Use a light hand for your brows

 

 

You know what they say—brows can either make or break your look. For flawless arches, use Focallure Eyebrow Pencil to draw small, feathery strokes. Blend out the product as much as you can, then brush the hairs up with a clear brow gel to mimic a naturally full brow.

Ever Organics shares 4 effective tips to help you achieve flawless, smooth, and poreless complexion

Are you one of those hooked on K-dramas and wishing for clear, dewy, beautiful skin just like the leading actors? Well, you are not alone! So many people are aiming to have poreless skin and getting it is easy with some extra care.

 

Ever Organics, the newest line of products made in Korea from Ever Bilena Cosmetics Inc, shares 4 effective tips to help you achieve flawless, smooth, and poreless complexion: 

Tip #1: Cleanse, tone, and apply essence.  Cleansing your face is always the first step in a skincare routine. This is to prevent dirt and pollution from piling up on your face that may cause skin dehydration and breakouts. Always remember to wash your face with a cleanser that suits your skin. Scrub, ideally twice or thrice a week, to exfoliate dirt that may have accumulated over time. 

Next, apply an alcohol-free toner to prep your skin. Toners are used to keep your skin look plump and healthy as it removes deep-seated dirt and impurities.

Afterwards, apply some essence. Essence has a lighter consistency than a serum, so after toning your face, add in some essence. Including this in your routine helps your skin absorb more of the nutrients you give to your skin. 

Tip #2:  Use a serum. Serums minimize the appearance of pores, dark spots and acne marks. Incorporate Ever Organics Brightening Pore Serum, which has Niacinamide and Vitamin C, into your list of go-to serum products. These powerful ingredients retain skin moisture that will keep your skin firm and healthy and at the same time reduce dark spots and acne marks, helping you achieve that smooth and poreless beauty.

Ever Organics Brightening Pore Serum also protects your skin from harmful pollutants and the sun. Its oil control protection keeps your skin fresh and hydrated without feeling sticky.

Tip #3: Moisturize and apply sunscreen. Moisturizing is a must for every skincare routine, not just on the face but for the whole body. Having dry skin increases the risks of breakouts and premature skin aging. Applying moisturizer religiously helps you maintain that youthful and clear skin.  Follow up the moisturizer with some sunscreen. Make it a habit to apply sunscreen on your face daily and ensure that the sunscreen you’re using has at least 30 to 50+ SPF. The sunscreen, while it gives you protection from the harsh UV rays, also prevents premature aging and inflammation of the skin and reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Tip #4: Mask it up. Give yourself that spa-like facial experience at home anytime with handy face masks! Apply one of the Ever Organics Sheet Masks to remove excess oil, get rid of your tired look, and minimize the appearance of pores. Ever Organics Sheet Mask comes in different variants: purifying, detoxifying, antioxidants, soothing, revitalizing, and moisturizing. All this guarantees that you’ll feel fresh and glowing after!

You can easily achieve that flawless, natural look you've been looking for by following these simple tips.

Ever Organics Brightening Pore Serum (P120) and Ever Organics Sheet Mask (P38) are now available on Lazada. For more information, follow @EverOrganics on Facebook and @ever_organics on Instagram.

GROHE curated some helpful New Year’s Resolutions as an inspiration to start

Happy New Year 2022? The year has come to a sudden end – at least resource wise. July 29^th, 2021 marks the day where we have consumed and used all ecological resources and services that the Earth can regenerate in that year. The later this day arrives the better we managed our resource consumption. However, the past decades have shown that the date tends to be earlier every year. While last year’s Earth Overshoot Day fell on August 22^nd, pushed back by the pandemic related lockdowns, this year’s resources will be consumed three weeks earlier, with the main drivers being the increased carbon footprint and the deforestation. For reference, in 1970, it fell on December 29^th – seven months later than this year. 

But how can we #MoveTheDate? Projections show that reducing global carbon emissions by 50 percent would already move Earth Overshoot Day by 93 days – which is more than three months. Manufacturing brands such as GROHE are therefore working on reducing their emissions drastically. Since April 2020, GROHE has been one of the first leading manufacturers in the sanitary industry to produce CO2-neutral. However, CO₂ emissions are only one part since there are plenty of other resources that need to be handled with care, such as water or other natural resources. For this reason, GROHE focuses on products that are not only water- and energy-efficient, but also follow the Cradle to Cradle^® (C2C) design concept: a product is designed and manufactured with the intent of using its components in its end-of-life-phase for the creation of new products. To start this circular journey, GROHE launched four bestsellers as Cradle to Cradle Certified^® variants at Gold level.

 

Since each and every one can contribute to  by preserving our resources, 

GROHE curated some helpful New Year’s Resolutions as an inspiration to start.

New Year’s Resolution #1: Collecting rainwater to water our plants  

Plants are craving for water, especially in summer. However, we can reduce our water consumption easily by collecting rainwater in jars or barrels and using them to water our plants. This contributes to counteract water scarcity while also having the potential to save emissions as the more plants we grow the more carbon dioxide is absorbed.

 

New Year’s Resolution #2: Using soap bars to save plastic 

Soap and shampoo bars are the perfect solution to start abandoning plastic from our bathrooms. With products ranging from body scrubs, body soap, facial wash to shampoo and conditioner, the variety is now meeting individual preferences and needs, while replacing numerous plastic bottles and jars. Soap bars are also perfect for travelling as they can be easily transported in a little bag.

New Year’s Resolution #3: Increasing shelf life of food 

Often food goes to waste unintentionally by simply going bad faster than we thought. However, there are some helpful tricks that increase the shelf life of food. Storing an apple with potatoes prevents them from sprouting. Removing strawberries from their original packaging in a glass jar makes them last longer by weeks. Storing spring onions in water does not only increase their shelf life but also lets them continue to grow.

New Year’s Resolution #4: Closing the pot for cooking 

There are several smart and easy ways to save energy in our homes. One is to cook with the lid closed since it takes up to 1/3 less energy, amounting to savings around 46 Euros and 100kg CO₂ emissions per year, if we use the lid in five cooking sessions per week.

New Year’s Resolution #5: Bringing vegetable bags for shopping

Whether at the weekly market or in supermarkets: vegetables and fruit do not need to be wrapped in plastic or paper bags, which are usually thrown away after being used, anyway. Convenient helpers such as vegetable bags with which you can pack your loose vegetables and fruits, are very useful here. A little advice: the bags are usually very small and handy – just place them in pockets and jackets, so you always have a vegetable bag with you, even when you go shopping spontaneously.

 

With these New Year’s Resolutions at heart, let’s start the new resource year 2022 better than the last and #MoveTheDate as much as we can collectively, by applying our greatest strengths: foresight, innovation and care for each other and our environment.

Multi-awarded actor, singer, and health enthusiast Piolo Pascual is the new face of PascualLab

Multi-awarded actor, singer, and health enthusiast Piolo Pascual joins 
Poten-Cee Vitamin C’s family of A-list brand ambassadors as the latest endorser of 
Poten-Cee + ZN and Poten-Cee + Zn Advance, the brand’s newest variants.¹

It is an endorsement that has long been waiting to happen, what with Piolo sharing a surname with the company’s founders and owners. While there is no relation, Pascual and the PascualLab Family share one thing in common – a love for life and passion for health.

Pascual, one of the Philippine entertainment industry’s eminent actors who has become one of the most recognized names since he first entered the industry in 1990, has proven himself a formidable force, giving life into and doing his best in whatever he dabbles in.

A well-known health and badminton enthusiast, Pascual puts a premium on his health, all the more proving that he is the easy choice to endorse Poten-Cee + ZN and Poten-Cee + ZN Advance.

Poten-Cee + ZN  and Poten-Cee + ZN Advance are the newest additions to Poten-Cee’s family of adult variants that include Sugar-Coated, Sugar-Free, Forte, Non-Acidic, and Chewable. Poten-Cee + ZN helps augment our body’s defenses through the addition of Zinc, while Poten-Cee + ZN Advance not only contains Zinc but is fortified with Vitamin D3 to further enhance our immune response. 

Zinc helps the body take the defensive stance by preventing the entry and multiplication of viruses² while Vitamin D works on the offense, activating the body’s immune system to better attack viral invaders.³
 
Pascual believes that for life to go on in this pandemic, it is critical to both be cautious and forward-thinking. He commented, “We are still in a pandemic and so when it comes to health, we should not let our guard down, but instead, step up. Poten-Cee's newest variants offer that added immunity to shield us further from the viruses while supporting our overall health so that we can carry out our responsibilities and be there for the important people in our lives.”

And just like Pascual, when people think he has already given his all, he seems a step ahead in his game and continues to level it up, especially with his health.

 

Pascual joins Poten-Cee’s powerhouse endorsers led by multi-awarded actress, 
brand endorser, and philanthropist Bea Alonzo and just last year, by multi-faceted artist, fashion icon, and philanthropist Heart Evangelista.

Suggested Retail Price (SPR) for Poten-Cee + ZN is at Php 7.50 per capsule and for Poten-Cee + ZN Advance, at 13.50 each. Both variants are available at all Mercury Drug, Southstar, The Generic Pharmacy, and Watsons outlets nationwide .
