What makes a perfect combination?

In life, there are many “perfect combinations.” In food, there’s caviar with champagne — caviar for its rich, exotic flavor that is intense and powerful while champagne provides the wash of sweetness and slightly fruity taste; in fashion, there’s the must-have little black dress that goes perfectly well with white pearls; and then there’s star couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt or Brangelina who “rock” each other. She is fiery hot and passionate while he is cool, laidback and hot.

In beauty and wellness, we always want trustworthy products that can do wonders to our not-so-perfect faces and bodies — to take away those fine lines, disturbing marks, wrinkles and make us feel good about ourselves.

I have found a revolutionary product that got me “hot and bothered,” so to speak. It is the latest and the only one in the world that dares to ask which is better, Glutathione or Papaya?

I am no biochemist but I know that glutathione is a naturally-occurring enzyme in the body that helps the liver flush out waste and toxins. It is a powerful antioxidant that keeps the body energized, healthy and youthful. Likewise, papaya is nature’s own exfoliant and skin whitener that makes our complexion healthier, fairer and younger-looking. Put these two together and they dissolve into a perfect combination and become a single health and beauty aid called Glupa.     

Although I was initially uncomfortable when I was asked to endorse skin-whitening products because I am lightyears away from being a porcelain-skinned china doll, but this one gave me the opportunity to deliver the message to those who want their skin immaculately white that there are right and safe products for them. But best of all, people have the power to choose what’s good for them and their skin. If you’re happy being morena, Glupa will help you even out your skin tone. If you desire whiter skin, Glupa will lighten your complexion. Glupa allows you choices.  

Glupa is the brainchild of Age Defying Solutions Philippines, Corp. (ADSPHIL), headed by Aiza Diuco Soriano, a Filipino-owned corporation that conceptualizes, formulates and markets beauty and wellness products for local distribution.

Glupa comes in various product variants like soap, lotion, cream and capsule. The capsule is an excellent health supplement because it provides energy to those who indulge in excessive exercise or those who don’t exercise at all. It is highly-recommended for people who are stressed out and those suffering from cataract and liver problems. Glupa also helps those recovering from chemotherapy and other sickness.  

But how does glutathione and papaya become a “perfect combination”? Glutathione and papaya have their own share of advantages for beauty and wellness. Papaya as a potent inducer and absorption aid brings out the maximum benefits of glutathione. When taken externally in the form of soap, lotion or cream, glutathione’s antioxidant properties work through the skin pores by inhibiting the skin’s production of melanin at the onset, resulting in a natural lightening of the skin.

Papaya is known as the leading ingredient in skin-whitening products because of papain, a natural enzyme that promotes skin renewal and cell turnover. It helps in exfoliating the skin to reveal newer cells and has restorative properties that soften the skin.

Glupa is the best anti-oxidant and anti-aging product in the market today. It is different from other existing skin-whitening products because it is formulated with the breakthrough combination of glutathione and papaya. It is the only one of its kind and this formulation may not be reproduced by other manufacturers because it is protected by its patent.  

With the Glupa formula, one capsule for an average-sized person can provide his daily antioxidant needs. The dose may be doubled for skin-whitening. In any case, skin whitening is its only side-effect.

Glupa products are available in all Watson’s Stores nationwide.
