Beyond Redness Relief: Cetaphil Encourages Proactive

Michelle Lalic April 07, 2026 0 Comments

Sensitive Skin Protection With Soothing & Comforting Line

For many people, skincare only becomes a priority when the skin starts to react. Redness appears. Irritation flares up. The skin barrier isn’t functioning as it should. By then, routines shift into problem-solving mode: focused on calming symptoms rather than preventing them.

Cetaphil, the #1 dermatologist-recommended brand for sensitive skin, wants to change this behavior.

Daily exposure to pollution, UV radiation, fluctuating temperatures, and harsh skincare ingredients can gradually compromise the skin’s protective barrier. At the same time, internal and lifestyle influences such as stress, lack of sleep, diet, and over-exfoliating further can damage the skin. As these stressors accumulate, the skin becomes more reactive, more sensitive, and more prone to flare-ups.

As the authority on sensitive skin, Cetaphil believes that proactive care, rather than reactive, is key to maintaining a strong, calm skin barrier long before visible symptoms appear. The first crucial step is awareness: understanding what triggers your skin and learning how to avoid or manage those stressors.

CALM SKIN UNDER PRESSURE

This belief is at the heart of the Cetaphil Soothing and Comforting Line, a range specifically developed to support sensitive skin exposed to daily triggers. Designed with gentle, dermatologist-tested formulations, the line helps soothe irritation, strengthen the skin barrier, and protect against recurring sensitivity: supporting long-term skin comfort rather than short-term relief.

At the launch event hosted by Cetaphil Brand Ambassador Bianca Gonzalez, on hand was Dr. Paola Alipit, who reinforced the triggers behind skin redness: “There are a lot of reasons behind skin redness, for example psychologic: every time you have anxiety or stress, you notice a flushed look. Also it can be environmental: UV exposure, pollution, extreme weather changes.”

Dr. Alipit also mentioned certain skincare ingredients can play a part: harsh acids can contribute to a weakening of the skin barrier. To be proactive about your skin choices, she recommended Cica: “Cica is centella asiatica, a common ingredient that is anti-inflammatory. It addresses cells and enzymes in the skin that reduce inflammation. Asides from that, it also restores the skin barrier, helping moisturize it.”

She also cautioned that any sort of redness in the skin signals cellular inflammation. “If you have cellular inflammation, chronic inflammation occurs later on, which can lead to premature aging.”

By reinforcing the skin barrier and minimizing exposure to known triggers, the Cetaphil Soothing & Comfort Line helps prevent the cycle of repeated irritation that can lead to lasting sensitivity, discomfort and inflammation:

● The Cetaphil Cica Soothing & Comforting Balancing Toner is a toner that is specially formulated for sensitive and redness-prone skin. Infused with centella asiatica (CICA) extract, allantoin, and hyaluronic acid, it helps to rebalance, hydrate, and soothe the skin while reinforcing its natural barrier.

● The Cetaphil Cica Soothing & Comforting Serum is an ultra-lightweight serum for sensitive and redness-prone skin. Powered by the Power Trio Blend of Centella Asiatica (CICA) extract, Pentavitin and Allantoin, it delivers deep hydration while helping to restore the skin’s moisture barrier for long-lasting protection and visibly reduce redness. This is the most powerful combination available in the skincare market.

● The Cetaphil Cica Soothing & Comforting Balancing Face Cream is a lightweight, dermatologist-tested cream designed to instantly hydrate and soothe sensitive skin. Powered by a blend of Centella Asiatica (CICA) extract, Allantoin, and Ceramides, it helps visibly reduce redness, improve skin texture, restore the skin’s protective barrier, and complete skin recovery in just 3 days

Cetaphil’s message is clear: skincare should not start when redness appears. It should start with understanding your skin and being proactive with use of the Cetaphil Soothing & Comforting line.

Fellow brand ambassador Jessica Wilson concurs. At the event, she said it’s important to manage your skin and care for it, even if you can see there are no obvious problems. “You never want your skin care to be a band-aid solution, because if you start caring for your skin when the problems show, when it starts to sting, when it feels, then it’s too late. Don’t start when it’s an emergency.”

Sharing their testimonies on the product was Bea Escudero and Mika Reins. Both women shared the impact of their work lives on their skin: Bea is a courtside reporter, which means under any given situation, she is often under bright camera lights, or covering sports from an outdoor pitch. Mika, meanwhile, is often dealing with quick and often make-up changes. Both deal with skin redness, which has been alleviated by the Soothing and Comforting line.

Mika said that as a model, she normally gets flushed, irritated skin. What she really appreciates with her Soothing and Comforting routine is that the products are fragrance free. “I appreciate that the products are fragrance free, and non-irritating for me. And they really work under my makeup, they’re not piling on my skin under layers of foundation and concealer.”

Through education, science-backed formulations, and a proactive approach to sensitive skin care, Cetaphil continues to empower people to move from reacting to flare-ups toward building resilient, comfortable skin every day—because when you know your skin triggers, you give your skin the strength it needs to stay calm, balanced, and protected.

Cetaphil Cica Soothing and Comforting is available at all leading retailers and online at Shopee, Lazada and TikTok Shop.

Five Simple Tricks to Create Legendary Lashes

Michelle Lalic April 14, 2022 0 Comments

When it comes to lashes, you don’t have to compromise

Manila, Philippines – The eyes are the windows to the soul. While a bold eye shadow will definitely catch anyone’s attention, lashes with visible length and volume will keep them coming back for more!

So if you’re wondering how you can up your allure for the next date night, lock everyone’s attention during presentations, or simply bring the focus on your eyes while wearing a face mask – here are foolproof ways you can create lashes that stand out in terms of both length and volume, no falsies needed.

Curl your lashes first, girl!

Some ladies, especially those on-the-go, might skip this step before applying mascara to instantly up their lash game. However, a simple preparation will give you that extra edge.

The secret? Curling your lashes for about ten seconds. This gives it enough time to be bent to a more ideal shape while also respecting how delicate lashes actually are – once is enough! After that, you can apply a lash primer or a clear mascara which helps lengthen the lashes and reduce clumps. Let it stay and dry before applying the regular mascara.

Avoid the clumps

Being at home for a while gave us fewer chances to need lashes with extra oomph. This might have affected the mascara formula, which when applied could result to clumpiness.

Set your mascara back to its original consistency by warming the tube (with the cap tightly secured, of course!) in a glass of hot water for a couple of minutes. When taking out the wand, don’t dip; twirl it instead to evenly distribute the formula onto the brush. Still got some excess? Wipe the brush on a clean tissue before applying it on your lashes for an even spread.

Start at the root and wiggle your way up

For mascara newbies, it might make sense to apply the product right at the tip but that’s actually one of the beauty no-no’s.

Start by wiggling the brush at the base of your lashes, and then start pulling up while maintaining that wiggling motion to keep the lashes separate from each other and create that desired illusion of full lashes. A flick of the wrist upward as you reach the end also extends the curl.

Take time to layer your lashes

Remember: applying mascara to your lashes adds a layer of product to your natural hair follicles. With each layer applied, the more length your lashes will have, so take time to build it up as you go.

Aside from the clear mascara or primer mentioned earlier, a quick and easy way to add layers is by applying translucent powder in between coats of mascara, which will help the product cling to your lashes and make them thicker as you go. You could also mix and match other variants like waterproof mascara to make sure they’re protected from the elements.

When it comes to your lashes - size matters

You’re already making a huge effort to make your lashes stand out, so keep everything on fleek by using Avon’s new and exclusive Legendary Lengths Mascara.

Extend your lashes up to 50% with 3x the volume thanks to the next generation polymers expertly formulated in the product, applied with the instalength tapered brush, giving you 100% Lash Satisfaction from root to tip that can last all day.

“Why choose between length and volume when you can have both?”, says social media sensation Mimiyuuuh, who refuses to settle when it comes to her look and the beauty products that she uses. With the help of Avon Legendary Lengths Mascara, Mimi turns heads with volumized and longer lashes that are just to die for, without having to compromise one for the other.

The Invisible Battle: How to Watch Out and Speak Out against Verbal Abuse

Michelle Lalic April 14, 2022 0 Comments

Manila, Philippines— 1 out of 4 or 25% of Filipinos, aged 15-49, is revealed to have experienced some form of violence during the ongoing health crisis. This includes verbal abuse, which has become a hidden battle faced by most women on a regular basis.

Verbal abuse can often be confusing not just for the survivors but also for the abusers because it manifests differently—gaslighting, judging, blaming, name-calling, condescension, and verbal threats, among others.

According to the Gender Watch Against Violence and Exploitation (GWAVE), verbal abuse often contributes to psychological abuse experienced by women and can be penalized as a violation of RA 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004.

“Violence in the homes is not ‘away pamilya’ and is everybody’s concern,” says GWAVE Executive Director, Sheema Bajana-Samson. “People should be vigilant and watch out for signs of abuse through what is heard verbally and body language as well.”

GWAVE is one of many non-government organizations and independent agencies that helps rescue survivors by offering legal assistance and rehabilitation.

“We have survivors also accompany their fellow survivors in hearings, and they do home visitations to other survivors as a form of moral support towards each other.” continues Bajana-Samson. “We’re happy to share that we now have a number of survivors who are emotionally and psychologically ready to become advocates themselves.”

In celebration of International Women’s Month, and the advocacy to build a better world for women, Avon sounds the call to #SpeakOut, take a stand and be more self-aware to help others fight verbal and other forms of abuse.

Based on a global study of more than eight thousand women in eight countries, including the Philippines, found that one in five women are consistently subjected to verbal abuse by an intimate partner. Nearly two in five respondents aged 25-34 are experiencing potential signs of verbal abuse within their relationship - the highest amongst the age groups.

Avon Philippines PR and Communications Head, Marion Limlengco wants to encourage more Filipinos to join dialogues and be more aware of this silent battle that has been affecting more women than actually perceived. “Filipinas are very resilient women, but it turns out, there are some of us who are going through such invisible battles and we don’t even know it. That is why we are tapping a platform where we can freely discuss this issue with no holds barred while still centering on positivity and freedom of expression.”

Avid podcast listeners can also look forward to collaborations with popular popcasts such as

Adulting with Joyce Pring, (March 25 via Spotify)

Camp Confidence Radio Podcast with Ayn Bernos and Rizza Lana-Sebastian, (March 30 via Spotify and YouTube)

The Eve's Drop Podcast feat. Delamar Arias, Monica Francesca Tobias, and Gelli Victor with special guest, Ms. Universe 2015 and Avon Intimate Apparel ambassador, Pia Wurtzbach (March 30 via Spotify)

Everyone is also invited to catch Avon’s collaboration with the livestreaming app, Kumu, where viewers can enjoy talks, performances, and fun challenges—all to foster awareness on verbal abuse and raise funds in behalf of Avon’s partner organizations that help abuse survivors. Here’s the full lineup:

#SpeakOut Dialogues with Women (March 25 via @kumunityheroes)

#Speakout Kumunity Challenge (March 28 to April 3)

#SpeakOut Fundraising Livestream (March 30)

#SpeakOut Dialogues For All (April 4 via @kumunityheroes)

People are also encouraged to support the cause through our fundraising items like the #SpeakOut Avon True Color Lipstick, Women Empowerment Umbrella, Evita Watch, and Self-love Accessory set available on avonshop.ph where part of the proceeds will be donated to partner organizations including Gender Watch Against Violence and Exploitation (GWAVE), Ing Makababaying Aksyon (IMA) Foundation, and Luna Legal Resources Center for Women and Children.“Through these fundraising efforts, we hope to spark courage and reinforce a sense of community so that no one could feel alone or neglected in their individual battles. It’s time we shed light on this invisible crisis and we can effectively do that only if and when we #SpeakOut.” concludes Limlengco.

It’s time to redefine a culture where everyone becomes more accountable for the words being said so that no form of abuse—verbal or otherwise—will be tolerated nor pushed against others.

Follow Avon Philippines on Facebook and Instagram for more updates on the scheduled dates of all podcasts and Kumu livestreams and join the dialogues against Verbal Abuse. Shop for your favorite Avon products at www.avonshop.ph or contact your local Avon representative.

Constantly Tired? You May Be Experiencing A Case of Iron Deficiency Anemia

Michelle Lalic January 11, 2021 0 Comments

What happens to your performance and immunity when your Iron-deficient?

Productive people have one thing in common, they ward off feelings of constant exhaustion and drowsiness thinking these are just the result of their hectic lifestyles. They carry on with day-to-day activities even when they experience the inability to focus and perform and not realizing that this might be a symptom of Iron Deficiency Anemia.

Iron deficiency anemia happens when your blood has a lower amount of red blood cells or hemoglobin than normal.

1.This can cause you to feel weak, tired, dizzy, look pale, and experience headaches. People with chronic medical conditions, women in the reproductive age group and those who experience heavy menstrual bleeding are most vulnerable in having anemia. While those who are not able to maintain a healthy lifestyle are also at risk.

How to prevent Iron Deficiency Anemia?

The people who have higher risk to have iron deficiency anemia are women in the reproductive age group and those who experience heavy menstrual bleeding; athletes in endurance sports and high-altitude training that require the body with more red blood cells; and those with pre- existing chronic diseases.

2. A change in diet and nutrition comes as the first step. This can include choosing food with high iron content like poultry, meat, and seafood. Eating food rich in Vitamin C like fruits and dark green leafy vegetables can help enhance iron absorption.

For people with erratic schedules, managing a diet can pose as a challenge. Taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) can help keep iron deficiency anemia away as it helps the body get the nutrients and minerals it needs. Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) is an iron supplement with vitamins and minerals that helps replenish iron stores and increase red blood cell levels in the body.

3. It has ferrous gluconate, a type of iron salt which has better absorption in the body, Folic acid, and vitamin B12 , which are vital for production of red blood cells. It also contains Vitamin C which helps improve iron absorption, and Copper sulphate and manganese sulphate that helps in the metabolic processes of blood cell production.

3 “About-Sangobion.” Sangobion, https://www.sangobion.sg/about-sangobion.

How Iron sufficiency plays a part in maintaining strong immunity

Micronutrients have an important role in regulating immune function, metabolism, and enzymes. Iron is an essential micronutrient that is needed by the enzymes to help maintain body immunity which can help protect the body against infection. There are certain enzymes in white blood cells that are affected by the iron levels in the body. So, when Iron is deficient, the levels of enzymes in white blood cells are also reduced, and this can affect the body’s ability to fight off infections.

When you live an action-packed lifestyle, even when you’re just working from home but juggling multiple responsibilities, do not ignore the constant feeling of exhaustion. Fulfilling your daily intake of Iron can help support your body as you go through your daily activities. Maintaining a healthy and nutritious diet, practicing various exercises, and taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) which acts as an iron supplement, can help manage symptoms or prevent Iron Deficiency Anemia.

4. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

Easy Tips for Maintaining Hair Extensions Looking Great

Michelle Lalic April 23, 2020 4 Comments

Today is a perfect day to start having the hair of your dreams. Maybe you are bored of having short hair and wanted to try micro links extensions in your own home or you will find the most luxurious hair extensions place from a well-known stylist. If you decide to have a new look having hair extensions, you should know excellent care that can make your weave last longer. Here are the tips for keeping the extensions looking great.

Read Your Shampoo's Component List

First, cheap shampoo makes hair extensions look dull and brittle with time. On top of this, the cheaper the shampoo, the greater for it make use of, which puts more deterioration in your extensions. Make use of a high-quality shampoo, and select one without alcohol within the component list. This is considerably gentler in your weave, it also keeps looking good. Shampoo plays a big role to keep the weave beautiful, so always wash it thoroughly with water.

Consider Professional Tightening

Some stylists offer professional tightening for the weave, especially when you do it yourself for the first time. When you're coping with more complicated hair, like Brazilian hair extensions, it's worthwhile to do it professionally tightened and re-guaranteed. It's far less expensive than visiting the salon for an entirely new set.

Comb Carefully

Whenever you comb hair, start into the base then comb everything lightly. It will help the roots of the extensions stable. Brushing your hair carefully protects the weave from falling out.

Air-Dry

After taking a bath, let your hair dry by itself. You might pat it dry very lightly with a towel. Avoid blow-drying hair or use a straightening iron onto it. If you end up with such products to dry hair, take the time, and set the unit around the lowest setting available.

Speak to your Stylist

A great tip from a stylist can make a big difference. Consult with your stylist about maintenance and the best way to prevent harm to your hair. Be certain and always visit your stylist on the regular schedule of your extension.

Love Your Scalp

When you take proper care of your natural virgin hair as well as your extensions, it's also wise to focus on your scalp. A healthy scalp offers an important foundation for the extensions. Rinse your scalp every couple of days with witch hazel, which will keep your skin clean. Witch hazel also encourages your scalp to create oils that keep the hair healthy, too. Rub the oil to your scalp for any soothing massage before rinsing the oil out.

Get Enough Sleep

Take proper care of hair by getting a night of quality sleep. For instance, let your hair Perruque to dry completely before you decide to sleep, and when it's dry, wrap it inside a soft cloth. It helps from tearing or from becoming mangled while you sleep. You might cover hair on other occasions too. For instance, when swimming, you should put on a good cap to help keep the swimming pool water from damaging your extensions.

Life is too short to have boring hair. Have a good night and may your weave stay tight.

My 6D Eyebrow Microblading Experience ll Step by step process

Michelle Lalic August 09, 2019 8 Comments

One thing all beauty experts, beauty guru or beauty enthusiast agree on is that as you age, looking at your best is important and that is also having a great eyebrow makes a big difference. Women and even men nowadays have become obsessed with making their eyebrow on fleek.

Some who don't know how to do their makeup particularly on doing their brows is a hassle. Just like me, it took me a lot of time to draw or put eyebrow pencil in it. It becomes a tiresome task when you do it regularly. I have thick brows and at my young age, I did a lot of plucking and it has gotten worse. As in, some of the hair did not grow anymore and worst was that my eyebrows weren't even. My eyebrows were not perfect that's why I took the chance to experience the 6D Microblading Eyebrow at (@clairvisagebeauty) Clair Visage Face and Body.

Before I decided to go for 6D, I did research about it and watched some vloggers who did experience it. A lot of them were satisfied. I also asked my sister in Malaysia who did the procedure and told me that it was okay but it is up to me if I want to go for it.

What is 6D Microblading Eyebrow?
It has been a trend among people all over the world. It helps to reconstruct the brows, fill the gaps and cover the over plucked areas. It can also help make your thin eyebrow to the thicker line. The 6D Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo, a new procedure which is done with the help of blades. The result is more of looking natural just like your actual eyebrow hair.

So there I was, one Sunday afternoon, filling in the health questionnaire, a little bit nervous but at the same time excited about what will be the result.

Following steps are taken for fulfilling the procedure:

1. Taking photos of my before eyebrows look.

2. Cleaning the eyebrow area. They used alcohol and wipes.

3. Shaving the unwanted hair in the eyebrow area.

4. Measuring and creating a shape of the eyebrow using a string with ink.

5. Applying a cream that will help to numb the area after 30 minutes to lessen any discomfort while tattooing.

6. The procedure of microblade hair strokes will start that will last 1 hour if you have thick eyebrow that will just be filled in and 2-3 hours if you have thin brows.

7. After the procedure is successfully completed, the ink will be applied to the brows or they call it pigment.

8. After 15-30 minutes, they wiped the brows and applied a white cream, an aftercare cream.

9. They gave me an ointment to help in the healing process.

10. After one and a half month, a touch-up session will be done if the brows are not yet completely filled in.

Day 1

Dark. No pain, no redness but kind of itchy. My eyelid was a bit swollen.

Day 4

Just itchy and the color is no darker. It lightens a bit.

Aftercare

After 24 hours of the microblading procedure, wash face with any mild soap (example: Cetaphil, dove, baby soap)
After washing the face, pat it dry with facial tissue then apply ointment using clean cotton buds ( the application should be one-way direction only)
Repeat this 3x a day (morning, noon and night) for 7 days until it totally healed.

Restrictions ( 2 weeks to 1 month)

Excessive sweating
Oily and fishy foods
Swimming
Too much exposure to sunlight ( put on sunblock)
Supplements containing vitamin E
Taking collagen
Putting moisturizers, toner on the eyebrow area and anything alike
Harsh soap (example kojic soap)

Does Microblading hurt?
During the strokes, I only feel like scratches using a needle. I heard the scratches clearly because we were quiet and there's background music, very calming and soothing. After the brows were filled in, the pigment was applied and that's the time I felt prickly or sore. It seems like I plucked all my eyebrow hair. But the pain is tolerable. After an hour, it feels normal.

How much does Microblading cost?
The 6D Microblading cost 8,000 pesos here in the Philippines and it depends on the Artist you will go to and where you are. Some cost much higher like 20,000 to 80,000 pesos depending on what kind of brows you are going for and it also depends on skin type.

How long will it last?
Ma'am Tess Lasam, the artist said, it will last 18 months or more depending on how you care for it. If I am not oily, sweating, too much sun exposure or if I follow the restrictions, microblading will last maybe two to three years.

Is Microblading for you?
The artist said, their client usually come to avail the 6D because they don't have brows or some are tired of drawing and they are busy people. It is not recommended for a pregnant and nursing mom as well as people who have skin issues, allergies and prone to keloids.

Final Thoughts
There's nothing wrong with making your eyebrows into the next level. It's one way of pampering yourself and wanting to look more beautiful and confident in front of other people. Why not save time to look good and be on fleek 24/7?
I noticed that my brows look so dark after the microblading. It's pretty normal because of the pigment they applied but it will fade one to two weeks. Be patient. Don't set a date, meeting or party if you are conscious about your brows. It's also natural that some people will look at your brows when they see you. And yes, I am now used to it. They didn't ask yet they second look at me. I posted a new photo and they commented, "wow beautiful" and "kilay is life". That makes me smile.

This treatment is very convenient. No need to put on makeup if your busy, you're always on the go. If the time comes, it will fade, you already have the shape to fill in eyebrow makeup.

The experience I have with Clair Visage was wonderful. The clinic is clean and relaxing. The music is soothing. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I have never been to any clinic which offers like their rates but I think it was fair and can be afforded by financially well-off.

Where can I have my brows done and book an appointment?

Update:
After two weeks, my brows were healed and done flaking. It lightens and the color is the same as my actual brows. Some area was not totally filled in but still looks so natural.

After one month, my brows were totally healed and I noticed that when I am in front of the camera, my brows were not even but in person, it was not noticeable. I still thank Clair Visage for the opportunity. I don't need to put on makeup because I feel fine with my brows.
