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. More information about Rosy Peel Plus after the jump!

Doubling your Child’s Immunity from the Lens of the #Promil4iShine Masters

     Does your daughter sing in tune after hearing a song play just a couple of times? Or does your son perform a Tiktok dance routine flawlessly after watching the steps on your mobile phone? Children are gifted in their own ways, and these normally manifest at an early age. Parents who spot these gifts early on can nurture them to help them reach their full potential.

     There are a lot of ways in which parents can support and nurture their gifts, but the most basic and important way to help them nowadays is to ensure they have fewer sick days and more healthy days, more opportunities to practice, rehearse and give their full commitment.
