FINE JAPAN: Revealed The Secret To Longevity

FINE JAPAN: Revealed The Secret To Longevity 

Good news to those who want to be forever young! Finally, the secret of longevity and supple skin is now available in the Philippines!

I attended the product launch of Japan’s best-kept longevity secret, HyC150, a product by Fine Japan Co., Ltd., a leading Osaka, Japan nutraceutical company with its Philippine affiliate Fine Nutrition in partnership with its newly appointed Philippines exclusive distributor Bright Ray Enterprise earlier today at Oakwood Premier. 

Mr. Nobutsuna Sasaki, President of FINE Company Japan Ltd., looks like he is only in his early twenties but in reality his real age is 42.  He said his company has more than 800 products in Osaka, Japan. His father started the company 40 years ago and he usually tests the products that his father developed over the years. He shared that when he was 15 years old he started taking collagen.

FINE Premium HyC150 contains the following:

•  Collagen
•  Hyaluron
•  Ubiquinol
•  Elastin
•  Biotin
•  Pearl Coix
•  Vitamin C

FINE Premium HyC150 is a complete formula for reversing aging, dry, scaly, wrinkled, sagging, age spotted skin by building, youthful, flexible, elastic, radiant, younger-looking firmer skin, and renewing joints, eyes, and connective tissue.

FINE Premium HyC150 combines the ingredients necessary to keep your skin moist and firm, looking younger than ever. These are the essences considered essential for beautifying the body from within.

FINE Premium HyC150 is derived from fish because it has the same basic molecular components. It helps the body replenish its own collagen supply and boosts collagen cell turnover, assisting the body in making younger-looking and firmer skin. With its premium quality and low molecular weight, FINE's collagen peptide ingredient has greater absorption and utilization than other collagen products.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is vital to skin. While collagen gives skin its firmness, it is the HA that nourishes and hydrates the collagen. 50% of the HA in our body resides in the skin. Hyaluronic acid production decreases with age causing a reduction in moisture binding capacity, resulting in dry skin and weak joints.

HA, Collagen and Elastin are vital ingredients in maintaining the skin's layers and structure. HA acts as a space filler between cells, while collagen and elastin fibers act as a constant lubricant. HA is also present in the synovial fluid of joints and eyes, providing vital moisturizing protection and flexibility. HA may help slow signs of aging, wrinkles, fatigue, and diminished eye function. FINE HA with its low molecular weight ensures optimum absorption and utilization by the intestinal tract.

During the question and answer portion Dr. Rodolfo Apostol said that as young as 25 years old, you can drink FINE Premium HyC150 to maintain a youthful looking skin, after all prevention is better than cure.

I also talked to one of its satisfied customer who looks like she's in her 20's even though she's actually 44 years old. She said that the first time she tried fine hyaluron and collagen, she felt and saw the effect on the third day. Initial effect was her skin become radiant and glowing. 

Another believer testified that when she continued drinking it, the dark spot under her eyes lessened. She's a happy user of the product and intends to try its upscale collagen & hyaluron with Q10, which is awaiting to be available here in the Philippines.

ST. NAILS: Pampering Treat

ST. NAILS: Pampering Treat

We live in a very stressful world. And sometimes, it pays to listen to your body. 

I admit that I was so stressed out the past few days that I really really wanted some pampering treat. Thank God for angels on earth like my friend Vanna and Carol who gifted me with a pampering treat at St. Nails in Ayala corner Dasmarinas Village Makati City. 

Note: St. Nails Gift certificate is a perfect gift for your family and friends this holiday season. I think they have Gc's as low as Php 400 pesos up. Maybe you could give them a call and inquire about it.

I was so impressed with the homey feel of St. Nails. Noticeable are the dimmed lights, comfortable chairs and friendly staff.  The staff even served me with a glass of hot tea. I even saw one of the staff put a herbal pillow on the back of another customer. She forgot to ask me if I also want one for my tired back. Well, maybe you should request for one if you try out their service. I tell you I had a very sound sleep. Their place is perfect for relaxation.

After I chose my preferred color for my gel manicure and pedicure, the process began. The Nail technician submerged my hands and feet in a warm water solution.

Then she began cleaning my nails. Tired and stressed out,  I dozed off to dreamlandia after that. Ha ha ha! 

I love the end result.

Look at my Gel nail polish color. It made my skin looks fairer.

I chose blue gel nail polish because this color works well with outfits containing various colors.

Remember, no matter what length of nails you have, the key to a nice nail is proper filing, so take the time to make your nails shapely and clean.

Thanks to the St. Nails staff for making my visit a relaxing one.

St. Nails provides free parking and free wi-fi connectivity for their customers. Awesomeness! That is so high tech!

Saint Nails also offers party packages where you can reserve the entire place. I am so thrilled when I learned about this information because I would love a spa party for myself and my whole barkada soon.

I wish that this coming Christmas, which is just around the corner, an angel will once again treat me to a pampering treat at St. Nails. Ha ha ha! #wish #ChristmasGift

TIPS: 5 Ways to Clear your Skin from Acne

TIPS: 5 Ways to Clear your Skin from Acne

I know, almost everyone of us know that our skin is our largest organ. It covers our entire body and has a surface area of around 2 square meters. The thickness of our skin varies from 0.5mm on our eyelids to 4mm or more on the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet. In total, it accounts for around 16 percent of our body weight. That's why we have to take care of our largest organ.

During my teenage years, I suffered from cystic acne. They were so huge, gross and very unsightly, I hated looking at myself in the mirror.

My dermatologist advised me to do the following In order to protect my skin from acne both on my face and body. Here are the steps:

1. Take a shower everyday to cleanse my face and body.
2. Wash my face everyday with a mild soap and warm water.
3. Apply toner.
4. Apply moisturizer. 
5. Get at least eight (8) hours of quality sleep.

Soon, it was bye bye pimples and Acne. But because I am a growing teenager, it keeps on coming back. Paying for my dermatologist's advise put a huge hole in my pocket! Remember I was only teenager back then, and rely only on the allowance given by my wonderful parents. So I devise my own regiment in order to be Acne Free forever!

1. Cleanse! This is the first step you need to take in order to clear most of your acne. There are no magic tricks in curing your acne. But you have to start working on it now, yes right now, not tomorrow not later. You need to pay attention about how you cleanse your face and body. Use natural soap and shampoo and bath regularly. Use toner and moisturizer. Good thing I discovered Proactiv. It is very effective for me.
2. Detoxify! Clean your body from inside out. Start now. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables and plenty of water. Eating right can help you clear out your acne. It is really lifestyle, baby! So change your diet right now and be Acne free forever!
3. Vitamin E Power! Each one of us have to take vitamin E supplement regularly. Because this is a very effective method to prevent acne and sudden breakouts. Yes, you have to choose a natural vitamin E that will give you healthy protection against free radicals. Please take note, that this is important to keep your skin healthy, soft, supple, and smooth 
4. Sleep! Get at least eight (8) hours of quality sleep. This helps your body to regenerate cells and repair itself.
5. Exercise! I used to go to the gym. But due to health reason my best exercise now is walking! Yes! It is free, low-impact and can clear your mind. Just don't do it under the heat of the sun, ok? Let me share a little exercise secret :-) I go to the mall and walk around window shopping, that way, there's a free air-conditioner  and when I get thirsty I can ask for water from the resto's or better yet I could buy a bottle from the mall's grocery store.

THE NAIL LAB: Absolute Relaxation at its best

THE NAIL LAB: Absolute Relaxation at its best

 

Living in such a fast paced environment tends to make us feel tired and withered long before our time. I know inserting a spa appointment on your busy schedule can be difficult, but I tell you, your body needs to relax. Love and pamper yourself from time to time. Heal yourself said my friend Jo. The Nail Lab offers solution to tired souls and wash away problems and fears according to my friend. I was so curious why my friend was raving about this place. So, one Sunday afternoon, my brother and I went to The Nail Lab.

 

When we entered The Nail Lab, we were welcomed by this white, clean sofa with green throw pillows. Nice choice of colors! Plus, it was nice to know that mommies can bring along their kids when they have themselves pampered at The Nail Lab.

 

I told the receptionist that I wanted to feel young and rejuvenated again. She suggested for me to try The Nail Lab Signature Body Scrub and Mud Wrap ( Php 1,080) and the Ageloc Galvanic Facial ( Php 840 )

The Nail Lab competent attendant asked me to change inside their clean comfort room, then afterwards, led me upstairs where I entered an ambiance of blissful relaxation.

 

She then asked me to lie down on a massage table covered with a sheet and a large, thin piece of plastic. As I lay on my stomach, the massage therapist rubs a mixture of sea salt, oil, and aromatics like lavender into my skin. This exfoliates the skin and leaves my skin feeling velvety soft. I felt so refreshed.  I melted in total bliss as calluses were filed down to near nothingness and dead skin cells cowered in fear with my full body scrub session with The Nail Lab. I allowed my body to experience pure relaxation. I experience rest in every part of my body. I felt improvement on my well-being. The exfoliating treatment of the body scrub of sea salt enriched with lavender that was gently applied to restore my skin’s natural glow gave me that much needed me-time.

After the attendant scrubbed my whole body, which takes maybe ten or fifteen minutes, she wash it it all off without soap, leaving a nice coating of oil. It's an invigorating treatment. I really think it was a good idea to have a body scrub at this point. She then applied mud and wrapped my whole body in a thermal blanket, it's a "detoxifying" treatment that stimulates a person's metabolic system, speeding its ability to carry away waste products. Variations can come from the essential oils or scrub materials so asked them what is the best treatment for you.

She then called another attendant to begin my Ageloc Galvanic Facial which effectively smooth-en wrinkles and lines since it boosts the skin’s natural collagen content by stimulating collagen production from the inside, thus effectively firming the skin and reducing lines. Even if you feel that you don’t need a collagen boost just yet, its moisturizing properties have been proven to be very effective for those with chronic dry skin, ensuring that you will not need to even think about anti-aging regiments for a very long time! I love this treatment!
 
I highly recommend The Nail Lab Signature Body Scrub and Mud Wrap treatment and Ageloc Galvanic Facial. I went home feeling so relaxed, younger, slimmer and whiter. I had one of the most relaxing body scrub at The Nail Lab. I never thought that a body scrub would be so relaxing. For the first time in my life, I gave body scrub a try. And it did not failed me. I had the most Invigorating pampering in years! I think that's The Nail Lab guarantee- absolute relaxation. 

 

Living in a world full of stress. We should all find time to relax and decompress. Indulge your body and face at the Nail Lab. RESULTS YOU CAN FEEL!!

ACNE PROACTIV SOLUTION UPGRADE

My friend Liza used to rant about unfair practices in the Philippines. You see Liza can't fathom why people treat her unfairly. Then she realized that it was because of her Acne and Acne Marks. One day she was invited to an exclusive launching party of a brand for vain women. She was told via e-mail that the invites were exclusive to only three selected guests. She was also told that she will be able to test the product and it will be provided at the end of the party and was even told to keep quiet about it.

Liza find those words funny because at the end of the party all other guests and their plus 2, got the product to try except her, she only got a shirt, one size smaller from her body type, meaning she had to undergo a rigid diet for a year before she will be able to fit in that shirt, and a few pieces of the product tie with a ribbon plus an umbrella. It is not that she's after the product but she needs to write about it thus, an actual sample for at least a month is needed so she'll be able to do justice to the write-up. If those plus one or plus two got a month long supply of the product why not her? They were not even invited unlike Liza, who was specifically invited to the event. So you see where Liza was coming from.

I told Liza that generally people are visual animals. They judge people base on outside appearance whether you accept that fact or not. That is why, it is very important to have a proper skin care regimen. I told Liza to use the Proactiv Kit. Because Proactiv is the only revolutionary product that can help her with her Acne problems. 

After a month,  Liza was so happy with the result. Proactiv had tremendously improved Liza's acne. Because she was very busy, she asked for my help to help her purchase another batch of Proactiv because she doesn't want to run put of stock of Proactiv for her skin regimen. I learned, that it was a very good timing for Liza because Proactiv has a new upgrade promo that is exclusive to its online shopping cart: http://my.proactiv.com.ph where she could upgrade her Proactiv Kit and Get a Proactiv Add-on at 50%-60% Discount!

An Eyeball with Garnier Philippines Brand Ambassadress Georgina Wilson

 

Garnier Philippines held a meet and greet, question and answer forum, and photo opportunity with Garnier Philippines Brand Ambassadress Georgina Wilson at SM MOA last June 2, 2012.

 

Georgina is the perfect brand ambassadress because she uses Garnier products ever since she's in England.

 

Hundreds of fans brave the stormy weather just to have a glimpse of Garnier Philippine's Brand ambassadress Georgina Wilson.

Georgina Wilson as Garnier Philippines new brand ambassadress gamely posed with her fans. I am lucky enough to be invited to interview her for the event. As expected a lot of people lined-up and bought Garnier's products just to have a photo opportunity with the vibrant and intelligent Georgina Wilson.

I had a photo opportunity with Georgina at the photo booth.  I actually met her in person last January when we covered the media launched of Fila at the Polo Club.

 

I met one of Georgina's fans. (S)he was so excited to finally meet Georgina in person, she even dressed up for the occasion and had her hair styled for the Photo opportunity.
