LOCAL LOVE

"Local brand Pili Ani is internationally renowned and for good reason: it works. Consider my favorite, PILI ANI Ageless Concentrate (P2700). Made out of Pili and Elemi oils—essential ingredients in many luxury products—the quick absorbing mixture doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin and never leaves it feeling greasy. After washing and toning, I’ll pat on a few drops on my face, neck and décolletage. Pili oil, sourced locally, contains antioxidants and essential fatty acids to hydrate skin, while Elemi oil’s antiseptic and antimicrobial benefits help speed up skin’s regeneration. Sometimes it’s all I use and I wake up with glowing, supple skin.” – PEEWEE REYESISIDRO, Editor-In-Chief

MAKING MAGIC

"When my skin is a little dull and dehydrated, I reach for KORA ORGANICS Noni Glow Face Oil (P3100). I’ve always been a fan of how the brand makes a healthy glow surprisingly achievable. This product is no different—made with ingredients such as Certified Organic Noni Extract, rosehip oil and pomegranate oil, it will moisturize your skin and make it feel softer and smoother. All you need is a few drops to see the oil’s magic.”—MARELLA RICKETTS, Beauty and Features Associate

SKIN DEEP

"I was lucky enough to meet Rose-Marie Swift, the founder of RMS Beauty. During our short conversation, I found myself marveling at her skin: it was radiant, firm and remarkably even toned. Her secret—apart from a healthy vegan diet, lots of water, fiber and a positive outlook, is the RMS Beauty Oil (P5295), made with jojoba, rosehip and calendula oils. It smells amazing, absorbs fast and leaves a dewy effect that works well under makeup. It works well on its own, but it is also excellent when mixed with a lightweight moisturizer or serum.”—TRINA EPILEPSIA BOUTAIN, Managing Editor

MIX AND MATCH

"Depending on many factors—weather, stress, etc.—my skin has different needs. Sometimes it needs brightening, sometimes there’s a spot I want erase immediately. This is why I love ONE EARTH ORGANICS Beauty Blends 5D Serums (P1895). The set contains five serums, each one designed for a special role. There’s Purity, Clarity, Renascence, Eternal and Radiance. They’re all lightweight so it’s easy to mix the blend I need for that day. My favorite is the Purity, which gives my skin intense moisture and silky smoothness. That the brand is locally owned and Philippine-made makes it even better.”—JEB FRONDA, Fashion Editor
