The Dainty Damsel

Cetaphil Philippines runs an event called #7DaysOfCetaphil celebrating healthy and beautiful #MyCetaphilSkin with different topics and influencers/guests on each day. It started last Monday, August 20 which will last this Sunday, August 26, 2018 in SM Makati.

I attended the 2nd day event (Tuesday, August 21) with the topic: Skincare 101. Guests are dermatologist, Dra. Mara Huber, bloggers Vern Enciso and Shari Macaraig.

Our skin is the largest organ in our body. And with that, it really needs the proper care just what we do on our body. Skincare is definitely one of a trend right now, I mean a lot of people are doing this routine. But does all of us know if we’re using the right products?

So thankful that Dra. Mara shared her knowledge and gave us these steps on how we can improve our skincare routine:

1. Know your skin type (3 Basic Skin Types: Normal, Dry, Oily) - definitely on top because there are different products and ingredients for every skin type. It is important to know that every skin condition needs the right treatment because it may become worse if we use the products not suitable for our skin.

2. Cleanse - facial cleansers are there to remove all the dirt that comes into our face. It’s really good that Cetaphil Cleanser has a pH level of 5.5, which means that it’s gentler than water and can be use by those with sensitive skin and even babies!

3. Moisturize - these step nourishes and hydrates our skin. It’s also not true that we must skip this part; having a humid weather here in our country, our skin really needs to retain its moisture. As for people with oily skin, a little amount goes a long way but don’t skip! For those with dry skin, 1-2 times a day or even more depending on the skin’s dryness.

4. Protect - with all the harmful ray of sun outside, we all need to use a sunscreen everyday!

Tip from Dra. Mara: 1 shot glass is the right measurement we must use in our body when applying sunscreen!

Sunscreen Checklist:

SPF 15-50 is the range of good sunscreens with SPF (50 being the best!!)

It must contain: UVA and UVB protection, broad spectrum and water resistant

(Cetaphil Sun has this all!!)

Cetaphil offers a wide range of products suitable for every skin type. You can find anything what your skin needs!

Palmolive, the country’s #1 personal care brand, unveils a new range of hair care products created for women who aspire to take control of their life and their hair. In a grand event held at Shangri-La the Fort, media partners and guests celebrated the formal launch of Palmolive EXPERTIQUE^TM in the Philippines and welcomed its brand ambassador, the 1^st Filipina winner of Asia’s Next Top Model, Maureen Wroblewitz.

Women encounter different hair problems and most of them require professional care, so they would often go to salon to get expert results. However, the bigger challenge is how to maintain their salon-beautiful hair until their next salon visit. Emily Fong Mitchell, Marketing Director for Colgate-Palmolive Philippines underlines, “New Palmolive EXPERTIQUE^TM is a full hair care regimen inspired by and crafted with experts to deliver salon-beautiful hair from the comfort of one’s home. It offers a complete range of hair solutions for those struggling with dull, damaged, and frizz-prone or flyaway hair.”

Food overload!! So yummmm!

Palmolive EXPERTIQUE^TM puts to fore their latest in hair care technology. The products in this new line that are infused with activated Kera-Ceramide Serum (KCS), contain technology that offers the powerful combination of Keratin and Ceramides, nourishing hair from the inside out.

“Its formula with the two-fold efficacy of the KCS technology differentiates Palmolive EXPERTIQUE^TM from other hair care brands. Keratin deposits protein back into the hair for added strength, smoothness, and protection. Ceramides, on the other hand, help restore proper balance within the hair, and provide a protective barrier that shields hair from damage,” Nymia Raagas, Personal Care Consumer Innovation Center Director for Colgate-Palmolive Philippines explains.

The new Palmolive EXPERTIQUE^TM product line consists of three variants of shampoo and conditioner: REVITALISTE which is infused with activated KCS, Biotin and Hyaluronic for normal to dry hair to enhance hair vitality and natural movement; SMOOTHIQUE with activated KCS and Rare Oil Complex for frizzy, flyaway hair to align, tame, and add control to hair strands; and RESILIENTE, which has activated KCS and Arginine for damaged or over-treated hair to reconstruct and fortify hair against damage.

Complementing the shampoo and conditioner to complete the regimen are three hair treatments: the Intensive Hair Mask that hydrates and helps restore strength and elasticity of dry, damaged hair; the Beautifying Hair Oil which provides intense nutrition for enhanced shine and silkiness of hair; and the Anti-Frizz Serum that protects hair against frizz and flyaways.

Palmolive EXPERTIQUE^TM makes it possible for Filipino women to step out of their homes with salon-beautiful on a daily basis, giving them that added boost of confidence and making them more empowered to take charge of their goals, their achievements, and their beauty. Brand endorser and top model Maureen Wroblewitz shares, “Just like the majority of women out there, I too desire to have salon-beautiful hair everyday, and not just when I’m coming from a shoot or a runway show. With Palmolive EXPERTIQUE^TM, I am my own hair expert. I am able to take charge of not only my beauty, but my everyday too. With Palmolive EXPERTIQUE^TM, I can OWN IT.”

The new Palmolive EXPERTIQUE^TM premium hair care range is available in all leading supermarkets nationwide. For more information, please visit www.facebook.com/PalmoliveExpertiquePH.

Melissa is an iconic global footwear brand from Brazil. Established in 1979, Melissa is highly regarded for its long-lasting and avant-garde designs, and collaborations with a number of high-profile names from the world of art and fashion.

From sexy stilettos to fabulous flats, Melissa shoes have brought fashion and comfort to new heights. Melissa brings the future of fashion to the world.

Been introduced to this brand 2 years ago when a local magazine featured it on their Instagram post and I’ve got interested to know more about Melissa; decided to research about it and even went on window shopping on their stores here in the Philippines to get a preview. I have a 2 pairs of Melissa sandals and it’s been one of my trusted shoe brands. I love how they created unique styles that doesn’t sacrifice it’s comfort. From slippers, to flats and heels; you can wear it from day to night! No hassle at all!

#MeInMelissa is the latest campaign in the Philippines from the Brazilian footwear icon, Melissa Shoes. This fresh and empowering digital campaign will showcase pieces from the brand’s 2018 collection, Open Vibes.

There is no denying the talents of Shaira Luna. From an early age, she graced our TV screens as a “gifted child”. Her passion for learning set her apart and would eventually lead her to forge her own career as one of the most prominent photographers in the country. This July, the thirty-one year old takes her place as Melissa’s Style Maven.

“I really love that Melissa shoes are comfortable and squishy”, shares Shaira Luna, chuckling. “Sometimes I take for granted how important footwear is, especially for someone like me who’s on my feet for most of the day. Eventually, I found my way to shoes that fit the bill of being both stylish and comfortable.”

At the age of thirteen, Luna found herself at De La Salle University, undergoing a Bachelor of Science degree in human biology. After switching courses for some time, Luna purchased her first professional camera, a Canon EOS 350D. The camera enabled her to flex her creative muscles and would eventually inspire her to pursue a professional career in photography.

In the decade since, Shaira Luna gradually developed herself to become one of the most prolific young photographers in the country. Luna regularly works with high-profile brands and influential names from the world of art and entertainment.

“Behind the camera, especially when shooting for someone else, I make sure I understand their vision and I understand the output that they need from me”, Luna begins. “I just try to make it work for everyone and keep communication open.”

This level of professionalism extends itself to moments that require Luna to stand in front of the camera.

“When I’m in front of the camera, I try to take the place of the photographer,” Luna adds. “I try to imagine what they need from the shoot and I try to move as quickly as possible. I find it is over much faster if I get what they need, so I tend to move a lot in front of the camera even if it’s awkward for me.”

As a fashion photographer, Luna is well-regarded for her personal sense of style. Self-described as an “ever-evolving” aesthetic, she draws her inspiration from rock ’n roll icons of yesterday and today.

“I love Florence Welch (of Florence and the Machine) so much! I really love her style and her music,” Luna shares. “I also like Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. I’m very much inspired by icons of the ‘70’s. I’m not sure why. Maybe someday I’ll find out.”

Even then, Luna is quick to admit that a lot of her style inspiration comes from the research she does prior to a shoot.

“In general, I’m very much into the history of fashion and that translates into my style and the people I admire as well,” Luna adds. “I think the reason I got into studying eras of fashion was because of my shoots. So, whenever I have a shoot that’s inspired by a particular period, I find myself going even deeper into what happened during that time, especially the things they wore and why they wore the things they did.”

If there is anything Shaira Luna can share, it’s her love for rediscovering the past through pieces of clothing. “If you just use your imagination, you can try to rework the stuff you already have. Perhaps you can use stuff from your parents and grandparents. You end up with something more unique, something not cookie-cutter. Just something more fun that will put a smile on your face.”

Shaira Luna is an old soul who has built her name by turning her dreams into a successful career. This is reflected in both her personal style and her approach to her work. This bubbly, determined, and highly focused individual has all the qualities that make her the perfect fit as Melissa’s first Style Maven.
