Beauty vows to save the Earth

Two of the most eco-conscious and earth-friendly beauty brands celebrated Earth Day with record-breaking news:


With the success of The Body Shop’s Rainforest Hair Care range in 2010, the brand proudly brings us yet another product range called the Earth Lovers. This product line features a 100 percent biodegradable shower gel that has a non-drying formula that promises to be good to your skin and to Mother Earth. Free of sulphates, colorants and parabens, the Earth Lovers shower gel line is made from a soap-free base that gives you smooth and soft skin after every wash. Choose from seven variants: Lemon & Thyme, Mint & Cucumber, Watermelon & Eucalyptus, Fig & Rosemary, Pear & Lemongrass, Apricot & Basil, and Fragrance-Free.

Kiehl’s debuts its iconic customer representative lab coat—made from Bionic Yarn. The latest upcycling technology, Bionic Yarn boasts of premium yarns and fabrics made with fibers derived from plastic bottles. Though made from plastic, each lab coat offers the same high-quality cotton look and feel of the classic version.

Pharrell Williams, with partners Tyson Toussant and Tim Coombs, owns a New York City-based company named Returns Textiles that is responsible for the Bionic Yarn technology. “When I became a partner in Return Textiles, it was my goal to use the fabric technology to partner with other like-minded companies to find ways to do good for our planet. Kiehl’s has a long history of taking both small and big measures to reduce waste, and inspiring others to do so,” shares Pharrell Williams.

Kiehl's Birthday Blowout until Today

Beauty Restored

Rivers are an important source of life, and Pasig River is not an exception. Pollution, overpopulation, and an increase number of informal settlers by the river banks have made the 25-kilometer river an unsightly one. It is the hope of “Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig,” to help bring back the glory of our nation’s most prominent river by closely working with key Philippine government agencies, ABS-CBN Foundation and its key programs—Bantay Kalikasan, Bantay Bata, and Educational TV.

Last month, Kiehl’s announced their support to “Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig,” with activities that will run all throughout the rest of the year. This month, a painting auction consists of the works of Angel Cancio, Jun Martinez, Nemi Miranda, Menchu Arandilla, Al Perez, vic Batioco, Nic Masangkay, Eric Mercado, Jun Rocha and Josef were held with proceeds going to “Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig.” Other projects include “Bottles Recylcing Drive” with the earnings used to make bricks for relocation houses, and an in-store donation drive for the relocated families.

Lastly, five peso from the Rare Earth Pore Minimizing collection, when sold, will be donated to the organization as well. This new skincare line boasts of Kiehl’s latest discovery, detoxifying Amazonian White Clay from the Marajo Island that works on giving you clearer and cleaner skin. This latest collection includes Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser, Rare Earth Pore Refining Tonic, Rare Earth Pore Minimizing Lotion and Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque; with a formulated combination of Amazonian White Clay, Kaolin, and Bentonite that works on removing dirt, toxins, excess oil and dead skin cells.

Along with all these projects, Kiehl's hosted a little surprise tour of Pasig River. Too bad I wasn't able to join them :( To read all about the tour (I'm jealous, but there will always be a next time), visit my friend's page, Topaz Horizon :)

For the (secretly) Vain Dad

I'm sure your dad secretly wishes that he could age gracefully as well. (photo courtesy of Clarins)

Most dads are too embarrassed to ask for help with regards to vanity,

so why don't you give him some skin care products to try?

Sleepless working nights can make him look older through his eye area. Help him fight wrinkles

and puffiness with these Clarins products. The Line-Control Eye Balm (left) smoothes and firms

the eye area; while the Anti-Fatigue Eye serum (right) prevents dark circles and puffiness from

appearing. Don't forget to teach your dad how to apply these creams

by lightly touching the eye area with just one finger (or his ring finger).

It's a long-time fave shave cream that works for all skin types. And you don't have to use much on your skin,

just a very thin layer of this product will do. Dads who love mint (like mine) will surely love this,

since it comes with Menthol and Camphor to give an antiseptic cooling effect.

If you hear your dad talking about sagging skin and his double chin getting bigger, then give him

this Shiseido Men Facial Contour Refiner. It has Yeast Extract, which enhances

the tightening of collagen fibers.

The Body Shop's Maca Root men's care range is an affordable starter/travel kit. According to the brand, Maca Root is the "super food of the Andes"

that grows in the mountains of Peru. It has essential vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that have been used

by the Incas 2,000 years ago—believed to make them strong before going to battle. Now, it comes in a skin care line

to keep men's skin healthy, radiant and firm.
