’Tis the season for parties and fun occasions and now’s the time to literally let your hair down — with a Twist!
Ricky Reyes introduces the Twist, a new ’do for ladies that will surely make heads turn at parties, whether formal or informal.
“No more bouffant hair for formal affairs. They make you look old. The Twist can be formal but can make you even look younger,” says Ricky.
With its clean lines and attractive look, the Twist is a fun alternative to wearing your hair down so casually or curling it up so formally. Curled hair also tends to look unkempt at the end of the day.
Accentuate the Twist with hair ornaments, pearls or even flowers to fit the occasion and you are ready to party and dazzle the whole night long.
For inquiries about the Twist, call the Ricky Reyes hotline 723-5440 and 721-7705.

About face: The art of skincare by Artistry
“It doesn’t matter what age we are, a 40-year-old woman should treat her skin no differently from a 16-year-old girl,” says May Samson, Artistry product marketer.
Of course, there’s no way around the natural aging process, but many skin experts recommend incorporating practical steps to maintain skin and help protect it against factors such us lifestyle aggressors, chronic stress, and sun exposure. Start by simplifying your beauty routine and restricting regimens to no more than three or four products daily.
Washing your face in the evening, for instance, is not only a standard hygiene principle but is essential in giving the skin rest from exposure to possible irritants and environmental debris that your skin picks up during the day.
Follow this up with a three-step regimen. Typically, a mild cleanser, gentle toner, and moisturizer with SPF work together to provide protection from external elements and slow down the aging process. Look for products with ingredients that target your specific problem area, such as Artistry’s Pure White for effective and safe whitening and Artistry’s Time Defiance range that enables you to age gracefully by repairing damage cells at the DNA level.
“There is a science to skincare that can be taken care of by the right choice of products,” notes Samson. “But it also helps if you shift towards healthier lifestyle practices.”
Artistry is a technology-based skincare and cosmetic brand spanning years of experience in pioneering effective products. It is exclusively distributed by Amway Philippines. For more information, call 814-8181 or visit www.amway.com.ph.
