THE WEATHERMEN may warn of rain but our forecast for July is flawless, with a little help, of course. For rainy day makeup essentials, I put together a panel of three makeup artists from Manila’s favorite brands to teach us how to brighten up during this gloomy month.
“For July, flawless and warm skin is in. Choose lightweight foundation that will even out your skin tone such as Brightening Powder Compact Foundation SPF25 to minimize the appearance of uneven skin tone and reflect light for a flattering glow. Use a bronzing powder or Shimmer Brick in Bronze to get that sun-kissed look all year round.
“This season’s looks created by Bobbi Brown are timeless. Always start with clean, moisturized skin. For the Oscar de la Renta Bridal 2011 show, Bobbi Brown created a natural soft matte finish for the foundation. This can be achieved by using Natural Finish Long-Lasting Foundation SPF15. Add color to the cheeks by using a warmer tone of blush such as Desert Rose or Tawny. Use Pink Buff Creamy Lip Color. Use soft-color eye shadow with high shimmer like Champagne Quartz Metallic Eye Shadow. For the lash line, use Sepia Ink Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner for a softer look versus Black Ink and brush on two coats of volumizing mascara such as Extreme Party Mascara.
—Bea Marcelo, senior artist for Bobbi Brown
“Matte foundation finish is very much in vogue, and this particularly suits the Filipina beauty as it makes her look always fresh in consistently warm and humid weather.
Bright bold colors for the lips like hot pink and coral orange still dominate the print ads and runways. Maybelline New York has a new lipstick collection called Color Sensational that includes a range of bright and bold colors like Angel Rose, Bon Bon Pink and Soft Azalea. For flimsy lashes, use Volume Express Magnum that promises nine times volume for a false-lash effect. For dramatic eyes, try Maybelline New York’s Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner or Impact Express Felt-Tip Liner.”
—Archibald Tolentino, chief makeup artist of Maybelline New York and president and founding chairman, The Make-Up Forum
“After getting that beautiful tan, skin is the ultimate accessory. It should be pale palette with moonlight glow—a new skin texture that’s not overly matte.
“MAC’s Prep+Prime products and Lightful skin-care range will altogether make the skin bright and radiant. Its primary ingredient—Vitamin C— helps prevent skin discoloration. Makeup will look best on skin prepped with Fortified Skin Enhancer SPF35/PA+++. It gives texture, adjusts skin tone and protects skin from harmful sunrays. Create the “no makeup” look with the Prep+Prime Transparent Finishing Powder. This will set your makeup without making it look too powdery and cakey.
—Owen Sarmiento, makeup artist for MAC
Knowing how to put makeup on helps hide one’s age. But to permanently shave off years from your face, good hygiene and healthy lifestyle should be a routine.
Tips
If you want to look at least 10 years younger, keep your teeth clean and in good shape. Gray or yellow teeth can age one’s face as much as wrinkles do.
Drinking coffee and smoking not only stain your teeth, but also have adverse effects on one’s youthful appearance. Smoking creates wrinkles, especially around the mouth. It also depletes the body of vitamins and minerals it needs to function properly. Coffee is said to contribute to weight gain
.
Stained teeth, wrinkles, polluted body and weight gain can make you look older. So, kick these bad habits.
You can also look younger by dressing in the newest fashion. Keep a modern haircut and abreast of what’s happening in the world. Looking younger is not only physical, but it’s mental, too.
Try: Changing your diet. It will help a lot. You don’t need to change your entire diet, just add a daily dose of greens. Better yet, just drink it. RAWlicious’ at the Legaspi Sunday market in Makati serves super green smoothies. These are health drinks that use organic green leafy vegetables and natural fruit. Their drinks are a brilliant mix of nutrition and flavor that have no artificial sweeteners and preservatives.
Try their Hella Green Smoothie, Joe’s Green Mind and Green Monster Xavier.

Age Loc
· Nu Skin Enterprises’ platform to become the world’s leading anti-aging company
· Nu Skin’s Competitive Advantage: other companies focus on the signs of aging (lines, wrinkles, etc.). ageLOC attacks both the signs and the sources of aging
· There are many sources of aging, but the ultimate source of aging is found in our genes
· Virtually everything we encounter influences our genes: diet, stress, sleep, pollution, smoking, etc. Until recently, science has not be able to understand how nutrition and skincare products influence our genes
· Nu Skin has aggregated unique, proprietary ways to isolate clusters of genes that are critical to the aging process
· With proprietary formulas, Nu Skin’s ageLOC products will help to reset and support “Youth Gene Clusters,” the genes that help to preserve youthfulness—leading to preventative and corrective benefits
· Products developed in consideration of the impact they have on genes will likely be safer than those developed with no regard for the impact of that product on genes
· Galvanic Spa gels include ageLOC ingredients to battle arNOX, a source of aging identified by Nu Skin research over the past 4 years
· A daily use ageLOC skincare regimen containing a broader spectrum of ageLOC ingredients focused on genes will launch in October
· In the future, additional Nu Skin and Pharmanex products will be infused with other ageLOC ingredients to battle aging at the ultimate source—our genes.
· In the future, it is almost certain that other companies will try to mimic Nu Skin’s approach to product development

AgeLOC LAUNCHES!!
Nu Skin Sales Leaders Poised To Capitalize on Promising Megatrends
PROVO, Utah, June 22 /PRNewswire/ — Top international sales leaders for Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. gathered today in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to learn how Nu Skin plans to expand its distributor business opportunity with next-generation anti-aging products in both skin care and nutrition that target the ultimate sources of aging.
To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/nuskin/38868/
“For more than 25 years, Nu Skin has offered people the opportunity to start their own business selling exclusive and innovative anti-aging products — and that opportunity will be better than ever with ageLOC,” said Truman Hunt, Nu Skin president and chief executive officer. “We believe that ageLOC is unlocking the secret of youth through our unique understanding of the relationship between aging and certain genes in the human genome, the ultimate sources of aging.
“ageLOC will not only have significant implications for an aging population that wants to live young, but also for an increasing number of people who are seeking out Nu Skin’s business opportunity to supplement or replace their income.”
The international sales meeting is the next step in the company’s roll out of its exclusive ageLOC discoveries. Nu Skin introduced the first phase of its strategy to target the sources of aging last October with the launch of ageLOC Galvanic Spa Facial Gels, formulated to target a free radical generator in the skin to deliver superior cosmetic benefits. The company will continue its roll out of ageLOC products with the introduction of an unmatched daily skin care system this October at Nu Skin’s global 25th anniversary celebration in Los Angeles. As part of its strategic direction, the company will also unveil plans to launch additional exclusive ageLOC products, including a nutritional supplement in the latter half of 2010.
“By targeting the ultimate sources of aging we have the advantage of developing truly game-changing products that have both preventative and corrective anti-aging benefits,” said Joe Chang, Nu Skin executive vice president and chief scientific officer. “ageLOC also unites our skin care and nutritional product lines into a comprehensive anti-aging product offering that delivers solutions for people who want to enjoy a more youthful existence.”
THE ageLOC OPPORTUNITY: Leveraging Socio-Economic Megatrends
ageLOC is a powerful platform for Nu Skin distributors as they continue to benefit from significant social and economic megatrends, including a growing aging population and an increase in those seeking ways to supplement or replace income. For example, by 2030 the number of people worldwide over the age of 60 is expected to double to more than 1 billion. By 2015, the anti-aging industry is expected to grow 76 percent in the United States, 73 percent in Japan and 82 percent in the Asia Pacific region. Additionally, the economic environment bodes well for Nu Skin’s direct selling business model as Nu Skin offers an attractive option for those who need to supplement or replace their income in today’s harsh economy.
“Nu Skin continues to stay relevant by marketing innovative and scientifically validated products, as well as by paying the highest percentage of revenue in distributor commissions of all direct selling companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange,” said Ashok Pahwa, chief marketing officer at Nu Skin. “That is especially meaningful considering the fact that 2008 was the largest revenue year in Nu Skin’s 25-year history with $1.25 billion in sales.”

Anti-aging remedies for young and old
By Ria Francisco-Prieto

Filed Under: Skin Care
MANILA, Philippines — As we age, our skin’s demand vary. There are a lot of changes and measures we can actually take to keep our skin young. It is important to remember that there is a right procedure for the right age. Most of the time, getting treatments too early may also lead to immature—and irreversible—aging.
I asked reputable dermatologist Dr. Aivee Aguilar-Teo for tips on age-appropriate treatments, procedures and simple ways to care for our skin. Her answers:
Individuals in their 20s, generally, have resilient skin elasticity, higher metabolism, faster skin cell growth and regeneration. Thus, your 20s is the best time to adopt preventive methods and a strict skin care regimen to delay the signs of aging.
Dermatologists recommend liberal usage of moisturizers and sunscreen, and, of course, minimizing sun exposure. Starting a regular fitness routine is also recommended at this point, since the body’s fat-burning abilities already start decreasing in the mid-20s.
Treatments. Here are some popular non-surgical procedures for people in their 20s dealing with common cosmetic problems like acne, premature wrinkles, unwanted facial and body hair and cellulite:
* Skin Care and Skin Rejuvenation
* IPL Photofacial
* Blue Light Therapy for acne
* Microdermabrasion/Diamond peel
* Chemical Peels
* Laser Hair Removal
* Body Contouring and Cellulite Treatments
* Mesotherapy
* Radio Frequency
These are some other popular cosmetic treatments for people in their 20s:
* Breast Augmentation
* Rhinoplasty/nose surgery
* Liposuction
* Lip Augmentation
Skin care in your 30s-40s
People in their 30s still have healthy skin, but elastic collagen fibers begin breaking down and cell production starts to lag. Facial wrinkles are more prevalent than they were in the 20s, as are fine lines and age spots.
Slower metabolism in the 30s and 40s can also mean the development of stubborn stores of fat that are hard to remove, even with regular exercise.
Good habits for older skin
Regular exercise, a healthy balanced diet and daily vitamin supplements become important to keep your skin and body healthy as you continue to age. Drinking lots of water to keep tissues hydrated and consuming plenty of antioxidant-rich foods are also advisable for preserving the skin’s vitality.
In your 30s and 40s, aside from daily sunscreen application and frequent moisturizing, topical anti-aging/antioxidants such as retinoic acid, alpha hydroxy acid and topical vitamin C should be incorporated into the regimen.
Treatments. Here are some of the most popular non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments for 30 and 40-somethings today:
* Skin rejuvenation and skin tightening treatments
* Chemical peels
* Microdermabrasion
* IPL Photofacial
* Fractional/Erbium Laser Resurfacing
* Botolinium toxin injection for wrinkles and fine lines
* Dermal filler injection for deep lines and folds
* Radiofrequency (Thermage/Refirme) for skin tightening
Body contouring treatments:
* Mesotherapy
* Carboxytherapy
* Radiofrequency
* Ultrasound assisted lipolysis
* Hair regrowth treatments
* Mesohair
* Laser Regrowth
* Surgical body contouring
* Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift
* Liposuction
* Abdominoplasty/Tummy Tuck
Skin care for those over 50
When people hit the 50s, 60s and 70s, the signs of aging have usually begun attacking in full force. Collagen levels are at an all-time low, skin elasticity is minimal and age begins to show prominently on the face.
The effects of exposure to the sun and elements over the years manifest themselves. The most common problems are deep wrinkles, drooping skin (particularly around the eyes and jowls), loss of volume (cheeks and nasolabial area), prevalent age spots and pigmentations (melasma) and other skin imperfections such as varicose veins and spider veins.
Treatments. Non-surgical skin tightening methods are popular for patients of all ages. However, they might not yield the same level of results in more extreme cases of loose or sagging skin at this age. Hence, surgical procedures might be a more effective treatment in some cases.
Skin rejuvenation/tightening
* Deep chemical peel
* Radiofrequency
* Fractional/CO2/Erbium laser resurfacing
* Botolinium toxin injections
* Dermal filler injections
* Surgical Skin Tightening
* Blepharoplasty eyelid surgery
* Facelift
* Neck Lift
* Brow Lift
Many patients in their 50s and 60s also choose to combine a facelift or surgical skin tightening procedure with rejuvenation treatments like chemical peels, IPL Photofacials, microdermabrasion, or fractional laser resurfacing for maximum effect.
Liposuction and tummy tucks are popular choices for taking care of loose skin and excess fat deposits around the torso.
Finally, no matter which age bracket you are, be sure to discuss all treatment options with a trusted and qualified board-certified dermatologist or plastic aesthetic surgeon. Not only will you be able to learn more about the risks and benefits of various procedures, you will get an informed opinion about which procedure will work best for you.
