Anessa, one of our favorite sunscreen brands, launched its first summer event after the pandemic called Golden Island. The event, held at The Island in BGC, featured themed areas such as Luxe Beach, Tropical Gardens, and the Hamptons, each representing a different adventure. Anessa showcased its ability to withstand the hot Philippine summer through temperature pods in each area.

The Anessa Squad, composed of experts in beauty, lifestyle, and sports, discussed the importance of sun protection in their respective fields and why Anessa is the ultimate age-defying sun care.

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting the Mitsukoshi BGC store to join in the celebration of Pili Ani's new flagship store. It was an afternoon filled with Pinoy Pride as I got to explore one of the pioneering brands of Filipino skincare in the global market. What made the event even more special was the appearance of the one and only Bretman Rock, who brought his signature style and personality to the celebration.

Whether you're preparing for a special occasion or simply pampering yourself, achieving healthy, glowing skin is always a win. As for me, February was not just love month, but also my wedding month! So, I'm excited to share my skincare routine for getting bridal ready.

We've all been there: we wake up with a zit right before an important event. Whether it's a date, an outing, or a big presentation, a pimple can be a big downer. And with people still dealing with maskne, we're all trying to find quick solutions. I recently tried the complete Acnes line by Mentholatum and here's what I found.

Have you heard about the AHA Cleansing Research Wash (P725 /120g)? It’s a Japanese cleanser that is formulated to be multi-purpose: it aims to remove makeup, cleanse the skin, and exfoliate all at the same time. It claims to erase dullness for a complexion as fresh and glowing as if you had just had a beauty treatment, so let’s see if it delivered!

A little about my situation: I have dry and sensitive skin, as well as natural texture and acne marks.
