Add to Cart: Beauty Must-Haves

I love how Summer brings out our more light, airy side and this applies to beauty products just as much as fashion. I like trying out new products and discovering new favorites too! I’m always a sucker for anything that does its job well and makes me feel a little prettier in the process!

Most days, makeup is a mystery to me. I’ve managed to master the basics: a bit of tinted moisturizer, eyebrow powder, and the power of a red lipchook! This year, I’m going to up the ante with my beauty ritual. I believe that the older, er, more mature we get, the more we should invest on our outer beauty. By doing so, we feel better about ourselves.

Here are some beauty products worth trying out:

Blue Plasma

I’ve been waiting for this product ever since I saw it in one of my magazines! So glad it’s now available at Rustan’s!

Scientifically formulated to deliver the benefits of a more traditional peel, without the side effects.

For years, Dr. Perricone has warned against the use of harsh chemical peels and abrasive exfoliators as methods to unveil new skin surface. Whether administered in spas, doctor’s offices, or purchased over the counter, their effects are not only potentially damaging short term, but can impact skin’s long-term heath.

Dr. Perricone has spent years researching alternatives that deliver the same surface benefits without causing damage or irritation to the skin.

First, with bio-specific accuracy, it peels only dead skin cells, accelerating cell renewal and turnover that naturally slows down as we age. Second, it micro-extracts surface debris with deep action and purifies the skin of build-up and pollutants. Third, it hydro-fuses the skin with nutrient-rich water.

Blue Plasma is ideal for all skin types and skin conditions, even the most sensitive.

The Power of No

• No skin damage
• No micro-tears or abrasions
• No dryness, no flaking
• No environmental sensitivity
• No downtime

The Results One Can Expect to See

• Resurfacing of the skin
• Luxurious luminosity, radiance & clarity
• Improved light reflectivity with increased brightness and glow
• Unparalleled softness and smoothness
• Plumpness of lines & wrinkles and reduction in pore size

Cure Natural Aqua Gel

Now people of the Philippines can benefit from Japan’s No. 1 Skincare (Exfoliator) Product!

Cure is the most popular skincare product in Japan and has been in the market for 10 years! It is considered as the “Legendary Product” in Japan and “Monster Product” or “Million Dollar Product” in Singapore.

What is Cure?It’s an exfoliant! Like a facial in a bottle!

Why do we need it? Accumulated dead skin layer slows down skin turnover which then causes pimples, dry skin, oily skin,dull skin, skin pigmentation, dark spots and signs of wrinkles. That’s why we need to exfoliate regularly!

Cure gently removes (0.01mm) dead skin which make-up remover and facial cleanser cannot.
