Over the last few years, skincare has become synonymous with self-care as more Filipinos recognize the importance of looking and feeling like their best selves. New skincare products are carefully crafted to cater to the ever changing needs of shoppers with different skin types – whether it’s brightening dull skin, reducing the size of your pores, or preventing wrinkles early on. Kiehl’s newest Retinol Skin Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum does all of that for your skin and more!
Kiehl’s Micro-Dose Retinol Daily Serum
Kiehl’s Micro-Dose Retinol Daily Serum was specially formulated with three key ingredients to help your skin look and feel its best: pure retinol, peptides, and ceramides. Pure retinol helps steadily accelerate your skin’s turnover to bring fresh, new skin to the surface. While peptides work to enhance your skin’s integrity, helping it receive optimal and visible results. Lastly, ceramides strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier and enhance one’s tolerance of Pure Retinol. Each key ingredient works together to combat signs of aging and keep your skin looking visibly youthful.
Don’t sweat it, if you’re a first time retinol user! Skincare expert and dermatologist, Dr. Michelle Henry, recommends incorporating the serum into your skincare by following the sandwich method. This involves using a gentle cleanser and applying a layer of moisturizer before placing the retinol serum in order to diminish chances of irritation. With consistency, Dr. Henry says you should be able to see “early results at four weeks and final results at 12 weeks to most skin issues, including age-related concerns like fine lines and wrinkles.”
More Skincare Essentials from Kiehl’s to add to cart
Apart from the Retinol Skin Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum, look out for Kiehl’s Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner! This soothing alcohol free toner is infused with Calendula petals that balances normal-to-oily skin. It was designed to relieve skin from discomfort and improve the overall skin texture by reducing redness, excess oil, and appearance of pores in just 3 days.
For those looking to leave their skin looking extra plump, try Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream. This moisturizer provides instant and lasting 24-hour hydration for soft, smooth, and healthy-looking skin.
Whether you’re looking to combat signs of aging, improve your skin’s texture, or leave your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, Kiehl’s got something for everyone. Cop all these essentials and more holy grail skincare products at Kiehl’s official store on Shopee!
Stress in the post-pandemic world takes its toll on us in many ways. But if you think that all it will give you is anxiety and agitation, think again: the physical toll on you will reveal itself in stiffened muscles, headaches, digestive issues, joint pain, and poor sleep.
That said, it is a timely thing that Vital Dome Philippines recently expanded its local network to include the Well-Balanced Chiropractic Wellness Center among the facilities that already offer its revivifying technology to the work-weary public.
A Key to Holistic Wellness
From left: Vital Dome Philippines recently expanded its local network to include the Well-Balanced Chiropractic Wellness Center. Shown in photo during the launch are (from left) Dr. Finesse Evangelista, dermatologist; Katherine Alejar, chief executive officer and innovator of Vital Dome’s exclusive Philippine distributor i3; Dr. Kim Khauv, co-founder of Well-Balanced Chiropractic Wellness Center and Nenette Umali, dietitian/nutritionist.
Co-founded by Aireen Navarro Khauv and former US Navy chiropractor Dr. Kim Khauv, the Well-Balanced Chiropractic Wellness Center offers a variety of services which not only bring relief to those in severe or chronic pain, but also improve their overall quality of life.
Dr. Kim has over 20 years of experience, 5-1/2 years of which were spent as a chiropractor for the US Navy. He has a Master’s Degree in Public Health from UCLA, with a special interest in Toxicology. He has also published chiropractic and public health research in several scientific journals.
“Detoxification is very important in lowering our body’s burden of toxins to keep us all healthy. In addition, current research shows that infrared therapy provides wound healing, speeding up recovery from athletic activities and improving the quality of life of our patients is very exciting” Dr. Kim stated, citing how the Vital Dome could make a great difference in the well-being of his patients at the center.
Their partnership was launched recently at the Well-Balanced Chiropractic Wellness Center with noted speakers. Dr. Kim spoke on the benefits of chiropractic care and healing and recovery using far infrared therapy; Dr. Finesse Evangelista, dermatologist, talked about toxins and diagnosis; Nenette Umali, dietitian/nutritionist, expounded on proper nutrition and Katherine Alejar, chief executive officer and innovator of Vital Dome’s exclusive Philippine distributor i3, who had a segment with Dr. Joel Lopez of JLopezMD Medi Spa and Wellness Center for Vital Test.
“I am very excited to add Vital Dome to our list of wellness services,” he said, adding significant research findings as to how far infrared therapy can help with athletes’ enhanced recovery, controls Type 2 diabetes, allergic rhinitis and helps in the total health of the geriatric population, among others.
Beyond Relaxation
The addition of the Vital Dome to the center’s roster of services provides more than just comfort and relaxation. The regenerative action of the far infrared rays generated by the carbon panels within the device reduces internal inflammation which, in turn, helps in long-term pain management. This ensures that users can do more physically without debilitating pain and discomfort.
Likewise, the Vital Dome is also instrumental in healthy weight management and body shaping, and also has proven use in the field of dermatology as skin regeneration is triggered at the cellular level to give skin a fresher, more youthful appearance.
But more than anything, holistic health is the primary benefit that the Vital Dome offers users. The deep-penetrating action of the FIRs essentially raises the body’s core temperature in a safe and regulated manner, enabling it to sweat out toxins and other impurities as a way to stay healthy and keep infections at bay.
When used in tandem with the Vital Test, a non-invasive diagnostic device that determines the level of exposure one has had to heavy metals and other environmental toxins, as well as the alignment and corrective therapies offered at the center, the Vital Dome delivers a greater sense of well-being on the part of clients, enabling them to live and enjoy life to its fullest.
Spreading the Word

For her part, Alejar takes pride in the way her company is helping the Well-Balanced Chiropractic Wellness Center achieve its goal of improving clients’ lives through improved health and overall well-being.
“We are honored to be a part of the center’s commitment to total health and wellness,” Alejar says. “I hope that other clinics and wellness facilities will follow suit and bring the Vital Dome to their own clients.”
Aside from its recent installation at Well-Balanced Chiropractic Wellness Center, Vital Dome can also be found at an aesthetic clinic, physiotherapy center and at a high end wellness resort
i3 is also the exclusive distributor of Vital Dome in Singapore, Maldives and South Korea. “We are honored to have been given the opportunity and privilege of making Vital Dome present in more countries in order to help people have healthier and happier lives,” Alejar says.
About the Vital Dome
The regenerative action of Vital Dome’s far infrared rays generated by the carbon panels within the device reduces internal inflammation which, in turn, helps in long-term pain management. Vital Dome is an important part of one’s journey towards healthier lives.
Patented and manufactured in France, the Vital Dome uses Far Infrared Rays (FIRs) generated by carbon panels within the device to give users the ultimate detoxification experience to deliver a sense of relaxation, renewed well-being, and a general improvement in one’s quality of life.

Who is Hello Glow?
Hello Glow was founded in February 2020 in response to the rise of thousands of backyard-manufactured “rejuvenating set” brands whose skin lightening products are sold illegally through the black market and online marketplaces by resellers for using FDA-violating bleaching ingredients.
Its first ever flagship product, the Hello Glow All-Natural Whitening Set, sold 50,000 sets during the brand’s launch, and 300,000 sets in June 2020 amidst a pandemic! The pioneer set has sold over one million sets to date, generating public clamor that resulted in the introduction of three additional skin care set variants; namely the Advanced Rejuvenating Set, the Acne Defense Set, and the Blemish Miracle Set. Each addressing unique skincare concerns of Hello Glow users.
According to Hello Glow founder and Ever Bilena Cosmetics, Inc.’s Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Denice Sy, what makes Hello Glow so well-loved is “our commitment to ensuring clinically-tested and dermatologist-approved skincare formulations.” Hello Glow’s slogan, #BecauseYourSkinMatters, trickles down to the brand’s advocacy of ensuring proper skincare education to its audience as well, teaching them to read product labels and research ingredients that will work well for their skin.

Love for oneself is held in high regard for several reasons that prove hugely beneficial. Most of us agree that it is a need and a right to feel content with our own identity without seeking out external validation. Truly believing that our existence itself is enough to be worthy of compassion invites growth, healthier life decisions, and eventually, success as we deem it.
One reason why Valentine’s Day is a much-anticipated occasion is the fact that we deem love important enough to be celebrated. While it’s common for the majority to crave affection and romance more during these times, we must also recognize the significance of being inclined to achieving self-contentment before we are fully prepared to partake in the interpersonal connections we seek.
The art of self-love truly aligns us with our own beautiful and unique self, which leads us to establish stronger bonds. Only when we recognize the depth of our value can we completely give and receive love in its most authentic form–a crucial sentiment we must always keep in mind.
The cultivation of self-love through methods that resonate with our love language is a lifelong journey that many of us chose to embark on. Though it’s true that the formula to loving oneself is a personal feat, we’re delighted to offer one way to set your self-love era in motion this Valentine’s season!
Whether you’re into sweet caresses, affirmative words, loving acts of service, spending quality time, or giving and receiving gifts, an ensemble that allows you to revel in a youthful appearance channels these love languages through a simple pampering routine. Nothing says self-care more than spoiling yourself this Valentine’s with Y.O.U Beauty’s Advanced Youth Series, a product line meticulously designed to future-proof your skin!
Show your skin some love with a set of products formulated with Plantide XTM, a plant derived peptide which helps strengthen the skin’s resilience by repairing your collagen proteins. No more constant woes about the early signs of aging! With fine lines and wrinkles out of the picture, you’re bound to have a plumper, firmer skin–the perfect combination for your much-desired youthful glow.
Scientific studies have proven the heart-health benefits of using Canola Oil in everyday cooking, which is why doctors and other health professionals have recommended Canola Oil. And when it comes to choosing the right brand of Canola Oil, one thing is clear – the consistent No. 1 brand, Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil, is the only brand to trust.
According to Registered Nutritionist-Dietician Thina Asis, canola oil has essential fatty acids which promote heart health. “Canola Oil has Omega-3 & Omega-6 which help lower cholesterol and blood pressure,” Asis said. Made from the crushed seeds of the canola plant, canola oil is a great source of plant-based omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
Several Registered Nutritionist-Dieticians echoed the same information Christine Alcantara, RND and April Manlangit, RND advocate using Canola Oil in cooking. “Canola Oil has the lowest level of saturated fats among all types of cooking oil”, Christine said. “This will help minimize the risks of heart diseases and stroke,” Alcantara added. Manlangit highlighted the importance of having a high smoke point in cooking, “Canola Oil has a high smoke point so it is very ideal for frying,“ Manlangit said. “Smoke point refers to when the oil begins to break down and produce chemicals which may be harmful to health, so it is important to choose a cooking oil which has a high smoke point,” Manlangit added.
But it is not just enough to use Canola Oil – like choosing the perfect life partner, one should use the leading and most trusted Canola Oil brand, so you can be sure that you are getting the heart-health benefits for you and your family.
For Makati-based mommy Sheh Lizano, using only Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil is an easy decision. The 48-year-old mom of four shares that several diseases run in her family’s blood, including diabetes, hypertension, and heart failure.
“Ayaw kong manahin ng mga anak ko ang mga sakit na ‘yun, kasi gusto ko rin ma-enjoy nila ang happy life,” Lizano says. Her initial solution was to avoid fried food, despite it being her family’s favorite.
“Pero nung nalaman ko ang advantage na maganda sa puso ang Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil, every day we use it kapag nagluluto para sa pamilya,” she says.
Nutritionist-dietician April Manlangit clarifies that Canola Oil is not only ideal for frying. It can also be used for baking and roasting. What’s more, with minimal taste, it allows for the full flavors of food to come out.
Meanwhile, young mommy Grace Escueta from Laguna has grown more conscious of what she prepares for her family.
“Talagang inaalam kung ano ang dapat i-prepare na ingredients, lalong higit kung anong gagamitin kong cooking oil,” she says. “Noong na-introduce sa ‘kin si Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil, doon ko natutunan lalo ang importance ng maganda ang ginagamit mong oil in preparing meals for your family.”
Even celebrity mom and wife Carmina Villarroel has only one choice when it comes to cooking oil. “Para sa akin, Jolly Heart Mate lang talaga in cooking meals for my family. Sigurado ako sa quality and I’m sure that when I cook, ‘di ko lang na-papasaya ang mga puso nila, na-proprotektahan ko pa,” Carmina said. “Why should you settle when you can choose the best?” Carmina added.
Carmina’s husband Zoren Legaspi and twins Mavy and Cassy Legaspi cannot agree more. “Mahilig din ako magluto and when I cook, I only trust the No. 1 – Jolly Heart Mate,” Zoren said. Mavy and Cassy have also started getting active in the kitchen and they already know which brand they should use. “Heart Mate lang ang cooking oil sa kusina namin,” Mavy mentioned. “Heart Mate for Life kaming pamilya,” Cassy added.
Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil has been the consistent No. 1 Canola Oil brand since 2011, making it the most trusted Canola Oil brand in the country for years. Its consistent quality and heart health benefits make it the brand of choice for Filipino moms, medical professionals, and even trusted celebrities!Protect your heart this Heart Month by using only the leading and most trusted canola oil brand, Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil. Available in supermarkets and grocery stores nationwide, and online on Lazada, Shopee, and AceMarket.ph.

Nu Skin Philippines, a subsidiary of Nu Skin Enterprises, a global leader in premium-quality beauty and wellness products, has launched its latest innovation Inner Focus Collagen Plus to the Philippine market.
Designed to boost collagen and elastin production in the skin, visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and support healthy hydration, the deliciously drinkable skin care super supplement features Bioactive Collagen Peptides that produce the highest stimulatory effect of all collagens tested in vitro, as confirmed in human clinical studies showing improvements in skin elasticity and reduced wrinkles.
“When we’re adults, we produce about 1.5% less collagen each year. Oxidative stressors – like the sunlight we see every day – can even further reduce the amount of collagen our bodies make,” said Helen Knaggs, head of global product of research and development. “At Nu Skin, we prioritize using the best in science, technology and ingredients to keep our skin looking as good as possible. This applies to Inner Focus Collagen Plus: our innovative ingredient blends are more bioactive, so your skin is stimulated and looks more lustrous.”
Inner Focus Collagen Plus is a powdered drink that can be mixed with water, or hot and cold beverages. It comes in stick packs and has no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. Each Inner Focus Collagen Plus box containing 30 sticks (1 month supply) is available for Php 6,000.00.
The Proof is in the PLUS
Inner Focus Collagen Plus is clinically proven to help support multiple areas of skin health. Nu Skin’s proprietary ingredient blend features a special elite peptide “fingerprint” that is shown to effectively stimulate collagen and elastin production. In fact, Nu Skin’s bioactive collagen peptides produce the best results of all collagens when tested in vitro, as confirmed in human clinical studies showing improvements in skin elasticity and reduced the appearance of wrinkles.
The Inner Focus Collagen Plus also contains lutein, which promotes skin radiance and helps protect it from oxidative stress. It also has phytoceramides that keeps skin’s moisture barrier healthy and hydrated all day long.
A clinical study commissioned by Nu Skin tested the efficacy of taking Inner Focus Collagen Plus once a day for four months and found participants that received the Collagen Plus experienced improvement in texture, radiance, and overall appearance of their skin.
Better Together: Inner Focus Collagen Plus and ageLOC LumiSpa iO
Inner Focus Collagen Plus packs a powerful radiance-boosting punch on its own but delivers even better results when used with Nu Skin’s ageLOC LumiSpa iO, the most recent upgrade to its award-winning* ageLOC LumiSpa – a first-of-its-kind, dual action skin care device that cleans and refreshes the skin.
In the same clinical study, people who took Inner Focus Collagen Plus once a day and used ageLOC LumiSpa iO daily noticed nearly double the visible texture benefits compared to using an ageLOC LumiSpa regimen on its own [1], as well as additional improvements in radiance and overall appearance.
Having just launched in late 2022, ageLOC LumiSpa iO has already received international recognitions including the “New Product of the Year” Award at the 2022 Business Intelligence Group (BIG) Awards for Business and the “Retailer Choice, Gold Winner for Best New Product” Award at the 2023 Delicious Living Beauty & Body Awards.

For many skincare gurus today, effectiveness is no longer the strongest barometer in choosing what goes into their daily beauty regimen. Most of them are also choosing clean beauty.
While there’s no official definition of clean beauty, skincare experts agree that these products are free from harmful toxins like parabens and phthalates—known to interfere with hormone functions—that can be absorbed by the skin. This is why many clean beauty brands opt for natural ingredients to avoid industrial chemicals that can be carcinogens or even pesticides.
Choosing clean beauty also helps divert toxic chemicals away from water sources like streams and rivers, helping reduce marine pollution that can threaten wildlife and ecosystems. Clean beauty products aren’t only good for you, they can also be great for the environment and are made cruelty-free. One of the significant tenets of clean beauty philosophy would be traceability, as beauty experts, safe personal care product advocates, and even environmentalists believe that transparency in business is one of the best ways to ensure that a beauty brand is delivering on its promise.
Filipino skinthusiasts can experience a new approach to skincare, one that promises healthy beauty without compromises, with Artistry Skin Nutrition™, the clean, traceable, certified vegan skincare line from the global leader in health and wellness, Amway.
Artistry Skin Nutrition works like supplements for the skin, thanks to its cutting-edge skin science and the infusion of powerful phytonutrient botanical ingredients like acerola cherry, pomegranate, and spinach from Amway’s Nutrilite, the only vitamin brand in the world to grow, harvest and process plants from their own organic farms which are maintained using sustainable, chemical-free methods with the careful guidance of Amway’s own agricultural experts and scientists. This makes Artistry Skin Nutrition the only brand in the world that can truly claim traceability from seed to skin so you’re sure that the products are pure, safe, and effective. This also means that the beauty brand can identify the manufacturing location, extraction location, all the way to the specific crop of the raw material for every final product that touches your skin.
Every Artistry Skin Nutrition formula is infused with White Chia Seed grown in certified-organic Nutrilite farms, the line’s star ingredient, which is a nutrient-dense, ancient grain superfood packed with omega-3, protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to effectively achieve healthy-looking skin.
Artistry Skin Nutrition products are also formulated without parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, and over 1,300 other iffy ingredients that discerning clean beauty followers may be concerned about. The brand also conducts clinical, consumer, safety, in-vitro and ex-vivo testing to support its safety and efficacy claims for its formulas. These studies are performed to ensure the products are well-tolerated and effective and satisfy consumer expectations.
As a responsible beauty brand, Artistry Skin Nutrition formulas are free from animal-derived ingredients and are registered with The Vegan Society, one of the oldest vegan organizations in the world that are based in the United Kingdom and work to educate consumers about the value of going vegan.
The brand has also taken concrete steps to improve operational sustainability. Artistry Skin Nutrition cartons are produced from paper, a renewable resource. The paper comes from sustainably managed forests practicing responsible forest management. These products are also produced in a 90% landfill-free facility. It can also be highlighted that 100% of the electricity required by Amway to manufacture Artistry products in the United States is offset by the company’s continuing investment in sustainable wind power.
Skincare routines don’t have to feel like selfish acts of indulgence. With brands like Artistry Skin Nutrition that takes the responsibility offering healthy beauty seriously with clean, traceable, vegan skincare products, you can achieve your skin goals without causing harm to animals, communities, and the environment.
