Beauty Box: And now, an anti-aging foundation from Max Factor

MANILA, Philippines - Max Factor Ageless Elixir 2 in 1 Foundation + Serum is an innovative high-performance product developed to target the anti-aging needs of women. The dual-benefit, intelligent foundation instantly addresses wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and skin discoloration — and helps protect skin tone and texture over time.

The secret to the foundation’s innovation is in the well-blended, oil-free “elixir”formula, which helps to:

1. Deliver instant coverage through specially treated pigments that reflect light and resist aggregating in fine lines.

2. Improve skin tone by protecting and hydrating via moisturizing skincare complex containing glycerin, niacinamide and N-Acetyl glucosamine, and an antioxidant package comprising vitamin E, niacinamide, allantoin, panthenol and green tea, plus, importantly, SPF15 to give daily protection from UV radiation and prevent the return of further age spots.

The new Max Factor Ageless Elixir 2 in 1 Foundation + Serum comes in seven shades — light ivory, warm almond, natural, beige, sand, golden, and bronze — and is available in leading department stores nationwide at P895.

L’Occitane cares for color-treated hair

Because color-treated hair is more vulnerable than natural, untreated hair, L’Occitane introduces its Radiance & Colour Care range which boasts an exclusive complex of five essential oils — geranium to regenerate hair, palmrosa to boost microcirculation, bergamot to invigorate, rosemary to stimulate the scalp, and cedar to energize hair.

L’Occitane’s Radiance & Colour Care has a sulphate-free formula to gently cleanse hair, UV screen to protect hair color from the sun, and grapeseed extracts that are naturally rich in antioxidants.

For instance, there’s the mask that melts into the hair and gives it an instant beauty boost. Without ever weighing it down, it protects color-treated hair and enhances its shine.
