LAC Philippines Summer-Ready Wellness Tips to Protect Skin, Boost Energy, and Enjoy Every Adventure

     From March to May, summer in the Philippines is in full swing bringing with it soaring temperatures, higher heat indices, and stronger UV exposure. This year alone, March has already recorded elevated temperatures across several urban areas, with Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration reporting heat index levels reaching the “Extreme Caution” range of 33°C to 41°C. As the heat becomes more intense, even government agencies like the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority have stepped in with measures such as the reinforced Heat Stroke Break Policy to help protect those working outdoors.

     But beyond the usual init and discomfort, prolonged exposure to extreme heat can take a toll on our daily routines and overall well-being. From common heat related concerns like heat rash and muscle cramps to more serious conditions like heat exhaustion and heat stroke, the risks become more real during these peak summer months. Add to that the stronger sun exposure, something the World Health Organization continues to highlight as a contributor to skin damage and long-term health effects when UV exposure is excessive and it becomes clear why extra care is essential.  And yet, despite the heat, summer remains one of the most anticipated seasons for many Filipinos. It’s a time for slowing down, reconnecting, and making memories whether it’s quick getaways, family gatherings, or simply spending more time outdoors. But with more time under the sun also comes increased exposure to heat, UV rays, and even urban pollution, all of which can affect our skin, energy levels, and overall balance.

Wolvit®, the Biotin brand for Hair Loss Caused by Biotin Deficiency

     A full head of hair is commonly associated with feminine allure or masculine appeal. No matter how it’s cut or styled, thick, smooth, and shiny tresses enhance a pretty face or lend a kind of charm to plain and homey ones. In fact, nothing gives the average man or woman a better confidence boost than a lush, well-styled mane. Thus, it can be quite distressing for anyone to note signs of early hair loss, such as regular shedding of hair in the shower or waking up to find significant amounts of hair strands on one’s pillow.

     Providentially, before all these lead to the more visually upsetting stage such as a “receding hairline,” there is a product that’s formulated to help restore the thickness of your hair and prevent serious hair loss: Biotin (Wolvit®).

The Two Types of Glutathione (and which one is better!)

     Glutathione has been a part of our skin-care products which helps us achieve fairer and even-toned skin. But do you know that there are actually two types of glutathione and that not all glutathione supplements are the same?

     The first type of glutathione, L-glutathione (reduced), is the one that is more familiar to the public since it is the most common glutathione present in the food supplements that we take. The only downside to this type is that there are limitations when it comes to its effectiveness. L-glutathione still needs to be oxidized in our body so that it can be converted into something that can be easily absorbed by our body.

Feature: Rosy Peel Plus

     Photoaging or the damage the sun does to the skin can result in wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots and melasma and overall early aging. As much as we love the sun, we do not like what it can do to our skin.

Excessive sun exposure can dry your hair and even burn your scalp. Harmful effects of the sun can be avoided by always wearing sunscreen when going out and protective clothing if you know you’re going to be exposed for long periods of time. Avoid sun exposure from 10am to 3pm because this is when sunburn-causing ultraviolet rays are at their strongest.

     Aside from outer protection, nourishing the body from the inside can help. Vitamin C is one of the vitamins that I religiously take every day. I’ve tried different brands before and one of them is Rosy Peel- a natural vitamin c supplement that contains fruit extracts. Fast forward today, it's making a comeback as Rosy Peel Plus. Now with a boost of collagen, this all-natural supplement is here to give you a healthier, younger and brighter skin plus a boost in summer protection so your skin and hair stay healthy in any weather.

There’s one cult J-beauty brand that Asian superstars like Blackpink’s Jisoo, Jun Ji Hyun, and Jeon Somi all use and love: Hada Labo.

Beloved Korean superstar Jun Ji Hyun who’s most known for her films like My Sassy Girl and her series My Love from the Star was once the face of the OG Goku Jyun Hydrating Lotion which she said gave her bouncy, deeply hydrated skin.

Feature: NAMI Water-Based, 18-Free, and Vegan Nail Polish

     I'm always having second thoughts on getting my nails done. Like my hair, my nails are brittle and my thin skin easily gets wounded if the nail technician is not experienced in pushing back cuticles and removing dead skin gently. Another thing is the kind of nail polish to be used because my nails get yellow easily with harsh brands. 

     Gone are the days that I will just opt for cleaning manicure and pedicure services because there's a new nail polish brand that is non-toxic, cruelty-free, odor-free, and vegan. Nami officially launches the first water-based, 18-free, vegan nail polish brand in the Philippines. My eyes sparkled when I saw the beautiful colors and features of Nami. More information about Nami and the shades available below :)
