Dermalogica introduces reformulated Redness Relief SPF20

A myriad of factors contribute to persistent skin redness, ranging from sensitized reactions to environmental irritants to genetically acquired rosacea. With these multiple conditions in mind, Dermalogica introduces a new addition to the UltraCalming system — reformulated Redness Relief SPF 20.

More than a cover-up, active botanical ingredients including leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate, saccharomyces lysate extract, bisabolol, and zingiber officinale (ginger) root extract interrupt the inflammation cascade and scavenge free radicals, helping to prevent future long-term damage.

The new formulation integrates Dermalogica’s patented soothing UltraCalming Complex, as well as a higher SPF blend of both chemical and physical sunscreens for greater protection against UV which may trigger, worsen, and prolong inflammation and accompanying redness.

New Redness Relief SPF 20 is priced at P2,450 and available at Rustan’s The Beauty Source.

Get beauty queen curls with Ricky Reyes’ Recurl

Beauty queen curls are back in a big way, as sported by Miss Universe third runner-up Shamcey Supsup, whose tresses cascade in loose waves down her back as she executes her signature “tsunami walk.”

Silky straight at the crown, and loose and curly on ends that fall neatly over the shoulders — this has always been the classic look for beauty queens, hence women everywhere aspire for this glamorous hairstyle.

Supsup-er girls: Get the classic beauty queen curls, like Shamcey Supsup’s, with Ricky Reyes’ Recurl, a fusion of rebond and curl.

But achieving this look is not so simple — on your own it would take hours of work with a curling iron while salons usually just curl or straighten all the way.

“Curling the hair the old way, which means piling those curling rods all the way to the roots, makes you look old,” reveals hair and beauty guru Ricky Reyes. “If the texture of the hair is thick, coarse or wavy, the tendency of the hair is to be bulky when curled.”

To give the Filipino women those perfect curls worthy of the pageant stage or even the Hollywood red carpet, whether with a short bob, a long bob, or medium hair, Ricky introduced yet another breakthrough treatment called Recurl, a fusion of rebond and curl.

In Recurl, the hair is rebonded from the roots to mid length, where the permanent curls start. Only about six ceramic rods are used to achieve these big, dainty curls.

The hairstyle is easy to maintain, requiring only finger combing, or blowdrying without brushing.

Get Recurl at Ricky Reyes Salons for lasting, silky-smooth curls. For more details, call the Ricky Reyes hotline at 721-7705 or 723-5440.
