Hada Labo Says ‘You Do You’

     When it comes to skincare, Hada Labo has two basic rules. One is Never Scrimp on Hydration. Two, You Do You, which means there aren't any rules. You don't need to follow a number of steps. You just need to use products that hydrate your skin to give it that soft, bouncy, and youthful look. At the heart of Hada Labo's Perfect x Simple skincare philosophy are the iconic Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion, the brand's flagship product and the No. 1 Lotion in Japan for 14 consecutive years.

     The Hada Labo Gokujyun Hydrating Lotion is packed with four types of Hyaluronic Acid that can attract and hold up to 2,000 times its own weight in water! Hyaluronic Acid is an ingredient that maximizes moisture retention, leaving skin supple and dewy. It’s a gentle ingredient that can work for all skin types, whether you have oily, dry or combination skin, so it is safe to incorporate into your routine. It’s also free from fragrance, alcohol, color and mineral oil so it won't harm your skin. More details about the Hada Labo Hydrating Range after the jump.

Feature: Vaseline Daily Tone Up Sun Cream SPF40

     One of the downsides of living in a tropical country is the humidity. In the Philippines, being under the sun is something we experience regardless of the season.  However, the summer months bring on harsher heat and dry weather that even indirect sunlight can cause sunburn and skin damage. That's why when I became meticulous in my skincare regimen years ago, I make sure that I have different sunscreens in my stash. Sunscreen is life for me. 

     That's why here in our country, where we certainly experience the scorching heat of the sun even if it's rainy season, we're always on the lookout for a sunscreen that not only protects our skin from this but is also lightweight, so we can avoid the sticky, uncomfortable feeling, especially in humidity. Whether we’re out by the beach, getting Vitamin D during a workout, or even indoors by a window, sunscreen is a skincare must-have all year round. Vaseline, a skincare brand known for its healing properties, has launched its first-ever sun care product, Vaseline Daily Sun Care to keep your skin protected and hydrated from within. More information about the product after the jump.

It’s the power to love others while loving yourself enough to step away from things that are not meant for you.

If you are a certified skincare junkie, I bet that you've seen the evolution- from the basic wash, tone, and moisturize up to the meticulous Korean nth step routine. Even the formulas have leveled up to cater to almost all skin problems and needs. There are devices too and these are labeled as the skincare of the future. Prolly you've tried using or adding a weekly face mask into your skincare routine and have noticed that it gives an added boost to the effectiveness of your skincare products.
