Q&A: Caring For Asian Skin

Posted by Dior Co on Saturday, March 31, 2012, In : Tips 
Q: Dear Dior, I'm Asian like you. How should one take care of Asian skin?

A: Asian women tend of have more melanin in the skin, which protects it from the sun. I'd still recommend using sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher daily. However,
 the increased melanin also means we're more susceptible to darkened blemish scars. Generally, it takes Asian skin longer to heal from these scars. It is also essential to take note that even if Asian skin is generally thick compared to other races, it is also very s...

Tous For Spring

Posted by Dior Co on Wednesday, January 18, 2012, In : Reviews 
In tropical country like ours, the cool breeze of the holidays is definitely a breather. But I can never contest the happiness I feel when the temperature starts to rise up again. This only means one thing: sunny days are back! So what better way to celebrate the beginning of spring than to actually wear it? 
 


Inspired by the spring and the delight and vivacious spirit it brings, Tous launches three fragrances that radiate purity, serenity and innocent charm. 

 

Upon smelling these three scents,...

The New Iza Is In Bloom

Posted by Dior Co on Wednesday, March 30, 2011, In : Announcements 
When Myra 400E publicly announced and launched it’s new endorser last March 18 at Thaipan restaurant, it is of no surprise that they chose someone talented, dedicated and beautiful both inside and out. For years, Myra’s objective has always been about bringing out beauty that is more than just skin deep. And who else can reflect what the brand stands for but the admirable Iza Calzado, who’s ever so blooming especially at the event.


 

 
Hosted by the fun and gorgeous Sam Oh, the event wa...

H&M Cosmetics

Posted by Dior Co on Wednesday, February 23, 2011, In : Reviews 
During my short trip to Hong Kong last week, I finally had the chance to check out H&M's cosmetic line. I wasn't really excited to see it. I mean, I'd probably be better off buying from a brand that makes cosmetics, not clothes. And it's a good thing I didn't expect so much because really, there was a lot of cosmetics but I hardly had the desire to buy any of it. Here's why:


Presentation looks cheap, so as the plastics they're enclosed in.


Eyeshadow palette offers only metallic finishes. I'm n...

In-Cosmetics Asia 2010

Posted by Dior Co on Tuesday, November 9, 2010,
Aside from visiting my two-month old niece, I flew to Bangkok last week to attend one of Asia's most prestigious cosmetics trade show. In-cosmetics Asia was designed and established for cosmetic manufacturers, formulators, scientists and sales & marketing experts keen to meet exhibiting personal care ingredient suppliers. I already have a fair share of experience in the marketing and creative side of the beauty industry, I thought maybe it's time I learn the technical aspect of it. The focus ...

Overeat at Beauty Buffet

Posted by Dior Co on Monday, November 8, 2010, In : Reviews 

Bangkok is a shopping paradise for clothes, but can the same be said about their makeup and beauty products? Absolutely! Bangkok’s glitzy department stores carry the same high-end American and European cosmetics available in the Philippines, plus a delightful assortment of locally-made personal care products. My favorite one being Beauty Buffet, a local Thailand cosmetics brand offering a wide-range of make-up, skincare and bodycare products.

Beauty Diet: What Supplements to Take

Posted by Dior Co on Tuesday, October 26, 2010, In : Reviews 
There are loads of oral beauty supplements (dermaceuticals/nutraceuticals) out there that promise to make you healthier and more beautiful. I dove into research and even talked to top dermatologists to find the few worth popping. Here are the top five beauty supplements I highly recommend in conjunction with the beauty diet:

1. Sun Protection 
Aside from daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen, boost your UV protection all year by taking an antioxidant supplement such as Heliocare. New r...

Who Goes With You In The Shower?

Posted by Dior Co on Tuesday, September 7, 2010, In : Reviews 
I've never been one who's a loyal on a certain brand when it comes to beauty products. As a beauty blogger, it is my job to try out new (and even strange) products on the shelves, may it be a drugstore find or one exclusively sold at Nordstrom. However, for three months now, I can't seem to shift away from my bathroom body goodies, dare I say staples (a non-existent word in my vocabulary).  When Olay introduced its Age Defying bar claiming that we all can look and feel young in just 7 showers...

Sandals-Ready Feet

Posted by Dior Co on Tuesday, April 20, 2010, In : Tips 

athomepedi_main.jpgWe're pretty excited about breaking out the sandals this summer, but if you're not able to squeeze regular pedicures into your calendar—or your budget—don't be afraid to try it on your own at home. Here's how:

  1. Take a milk bath. Not as ridiculous as it sounds! The lactic acid in the milk will help smooth calluses, so fill a large bowl or tub with equal parts milk and warm water, add a few drops of lavender oil, and soak your feet for five to ten minutes.
  2. Care for your cuticles. Rub a drop of...

La Prairie Opens Its Spa

Posted by Dior Co on Tuesday, March 23, 2010, In : Reviews 

Another reason why I would love to live in New York: The La Prairie Spa at the Ritz-Carlton. The Swiss skincare company has just devised a new Platinum Rare facial at its New York relaxation destination using its luxe Platinum line—an antiaging collection devoted to recharging the skin’s electrical balance using actual traces of one of the world’s rarest, most precious elements. The service’s real selling point, though, is that you are attended to by two aestheticians instead of one. ...

Refine Your Silhouette For Summer

Posted by Dior Co on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, In : Reviews 
In my calendar, March marks the beginning of summer. To welcome summer this year, I skipped splurging on new pairs of bikinis and indulged myself on a body treatment for a bikini-ready body instead. The Silhouette Refining Body Wrap is one of the two newest bodycare treatments of The Spa Wellness Center. This new addition to The Spa's range of services is a cutting edge slimming, anti-cellulite full body cocoon treatment, said to stimulate your body to break down fat and eliminate water reten...
