Avon keeps Angel Locsin kiss-worthy

MANILA, Philippines - Avon, the number one makeup brand in the Philippines, celebrates the beauty of Filipino women by launching another globally-competitive product and a set of beauty authorities whom women look up to.

The country’s sought-after actress on primetime television Angel Locsin again takes the limelight as Avon Color Philippines’ ambassador along with in-demand makeup artist of celebrities, Lala Flores, who steps on board as Avon Color creative consultant.

“As the company for women, we continue to work hard and find ways to fulfill their beauty needs. We empower women in her totality, one of which is through the range of products we offer,” says Mari Ann Barsabal-Soliven, Southeast Asia category head for Avon Color and Personal Care.

It boasts the Replenishsphere technology which hydrates and protects the lips like lip balm, keeping them supple and kiss-worthy. Hydrolized collagen helps keep lips youthful and elastic, and antioxidant-rich pomegranate extract helps repair damage due to sun exposure.

Laneige’s recipe for glowing skin

Got skin that looks dry, dull, rough or flaky (or all of the above)? Laneige has come up with a recipe for glowing skin with its new multiberry line.

Berry good: Laneige’s new multiberry line leaves skin instantly smooth.

Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Peeling Gel is a mild scrub that exfoliates dead skin cells with a simple massage. Natural mannan clears off dead skin cells and fermented yogurt strengthens the skin’s defense system.

Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Repair Pack is a highly concentrated nourishing mask for skin regeneration, making the skin’s texture as rich and smooth as creamy plain yogurt. It contains natural butter to smoothly attach to skin, leaving it instantly smooth after cleansing.

Laneige Clear-C Effector is a booster, to be used before toner, to exfoliate dead skin cells with vitamin C from its acerola, orange, lemon, and bilberry ingredients.

Laneige products are available at TriNoma, Robinsons Midtown Mall, Mall of Asia, and soon to open at Shangri-La Mall Edsa.

Proactiv: Acne treatment made simple

Zap those zits: Proactiv Solution is a complete and simple-to-follow acne therapy system that helps control the acne cycle even before acne breaks out.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for acne. However, there is an effective way to control and prevent it: Get Proactiv! Designed to attack acne proactively, Proactiv Solution is a complete and simple-to-follow acne therapy system that helps control the acne cycle even before acne breaks out in three simple steps: renewing, revitalizing and repairing.

Unlike spot treatments, Proactiv treats the entire face as well as the neck, chest, shoulders, and back to prevent breakouts. Proactiv pioneered the concept of regular twice-daily maintenance with a medicated skincare system designed to help prevent breakouts from happening in the first place. It has a renewal solution that deep-cleanses pores, a revitalizing toner that removes excess oils, and an oil-free repairing lotion that helps heal blemishes while preventing new ones from forming.

Proactiv is so effective, even Hollywood celebs like Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore, Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber use it.

Proactiv Solution is available at all Watsons stores and through door-to-door delivery. For inquiries, call 729-2222 or visit my.proactiv.com.ph or proactiv.com.ph.
