Laser hair removal for only P999 at Flawless

MANILA, Philippines - Say goodbye to dark underarms caused by the irritation experienced when plucking, shaving or waxing.

This weekend, make your underarms smooth and hair-free as Flawless offers a single session of underarm laser hair removal for only P999, using its state-of-the-art system.

The technology used by Flawless’ machines is one of the most permanent in hair removal, as it zaps hair at the root. The treatment is also virtually painless, thanks to the patented Chill Tip, which cools the area as the laser gets rid of the hair follicle.

The P999 hair-removal promotion is the second in the nine-week countdown to Flawless’ big anniversary celebration. The aesthetic center will be holding promotions every weekend until its ninth National Flawless Day on Dec. 8.

For more details and information, call Flawless marketing officer Mia Orendain at 433-8404.

Get Lush-cious skin

At long Lush! Lush adds three essential beauty items to its natural skincare range.

Ultrabalm (P795) works to smooth out any roughness and relieve dry, cracked skin. A recipe so beautiful in its simplicity, this balm is purely a blend of organic jojoba oil, candelilla wax, and rose wax — all of which are intensely skin-softening and soothing.

Lush’s solid facial serum bars (P795 for a 20g bar) are full of fresh, natural ingredients. There’s the Full of Grace solid facial serum — packed with nourishing ingredients like rose petal infusion, rose oil, almond oil, fresh Portobello mushrooms, chamomile blue oil, and tagetes oil — to help relieve dry, cracked skin and deeply moisturize. It is ideal for sensitive skin and more mature skin.

On the other hand, Saving Face solid facial serum is for oily skin. It contains a citrus blend of oils for a toning, restorative, and astringent effect on the face.

Lush is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists Inc. (SSI) and is located at Glorietta 4, Power Plant Mall, Shangri-La Mall, Greenbelt 3, Mall of Asia, and Bonifacio High Street. Visit www.lush.com.ph.
