MANILA, Philippines — This International Women's Month, it’s all about Eve as ladies can celebrate their femininity by taking their self-love to the next level.
From better skincare routines to more effective health care regimens, it's always a great idea to give ourselves some extra TLC! We've gathered here some self-care products and services that can elevate your self-love rituals:
For Bianca, Nue Conceal’s unique treatment proved not just to banish insecurities, but it has been a dramatic solution for some of her client’s mental and emotional health problems.

There’s no denying that skin problems have been on the rise since the pandemic because of stress-related issues from maskne, allergies, to visible signs of aging. But another problem, pandemic or not, makes women lose sight of their confidence? Scars and stretch marks.
While there are topical or laser treatments that help to lighten the condition, most often than not, these remedies don’t work for most people. This is where founder and professional permanent make-up artist Bianca Festejo thought of introducing an alternative that delivers an almost instant noticeable result: Camouflage tattoo.
As the founder of a pioneer camouflage center in the country, Bianca’s goal is to provide an advanced and safe solution in hiding skin imperfections with a result client will love, “We have developed a reading device that identifies a person’s skin tone and is being reflected through our app. This initial step determines the color that will match a person’s skin tone perfectly and at the same time, ensure a natural-looking result,” shares Bianca. Another great news is that this procedure works from light stretch marks, light scars, to surgical scars and skin hypopigmentation, and has treated over 2,000 clients in her clinic since its inception.
But for Bianca, Nue Conceal’s unique treatment proved not just to banish insecurities, but it has been a dramatic solution for some of her client’s mental and emotional health problems. “We have women who have come to the clinic and shared that their skin dilemmas caused their social interactions, careers, intimacy, and relationships to go rock bottom.”
And for Bianca, aside from the satisfaction that she gets from her work, it’s truly the life-changing “Nue Conceal Experience” that gives her purpose and motivation. This Women’s Month, here are the top 3 stories that have inspired Bianca to take their business to the next level:
Mila is a happily married 49-year-old grandma battered with insecurity. Pants were her go-to even at home since she was a teenager. “I’ve never experienced joining any beach outings as I fear relatives and friends will find out about my scar-infected legs.” But until recently, her grandkid asked why she always wears pants even at home, which made her feel devastated. “I’ve tried various treatments from creams, serums, and lasers to consulting the best dermatologists, but nothing worked. However, things suddenly changed when she turned to Nue Conceal to try the Brazilian Camouflage , “For the first time, I was able to join our family beach outing just right after my first session,” she happily notes.
Dana, 25, is a medical student with visible, large stretch marks on her arms and legs. “While I’m not being bullied for it anymore unlike before as a teenager, the pain and trauma I’ve gone through caused depression and insecurity growing up.” She also tells Bianca that it also prevented her from joining group class activities. However, discovering Nue Conceal stretch mark treatment gave her a glimpse of hope, as she saw a huge difference that she has never experienced before. “I was able to wear a sleeveless top for the first time and I couldn’t be happier!”
Ave is a licensed nurse who has been receiving numerous offers to work abroad, but always begs off because she was worried about her leg scars. “I’ve always thought that I’ll be laughed at when people see my scars.” Thankfully, the 33-year-old Davaoeña discovered Nue Conceal online and immediately booked a flight to Manila to give the treatment a try. “I’ve spent thousands of dollars looking for a remedy, including going to so many top dermatologists but nothing worked. With Nue Conceal scar revision, I could say that the investment was all worth it. I’m happy to report that I just submitted my application for a nursing job in the UK!”
Bianca points out that she didn’t expect that there are so many women out there who’ve been searching for an answer for their scars and stretch marks problems. She wanted to tell them that there’s hope. “These life-changing story truly motivates us to share our craft with more women who might be also experiencing the same problems as our clients. It’s our mission to regain not just their confidence, but also their life,”
Currently present in 10 countries, Bianca has also set up an online training class for those who want to learn the art of camouflage concealer. “Most of our students not only have zero knowledge in tattoos but are also going through anxiety themselves because of their stretch marks and scars. It’s my vision not just to introduce the art behind this technique, but also make them understand the science behind it.” Thanks as well to Nue Conceal’s French-made organic ink, as it’s not only safe for the skin, its color remains nice and consistent even at long periods under the sun. Nue Conceal is located at the Promenade Mall Greenhills, San Juan. Visit the Nue Conceal website for more details.

Exercise using the right kind of support
With the impact of breast movement in sport not regularly brought to the fore, Adidas has partnered with Professor Joanna Wakefield-Scurr, head of the Research Group in Breast Health at the University of Portsmouth, to help shine a light on why sufficient breast support during exercise is crucial, and the damaging effects of not wearing the right sports bra.

Women’s needs have been historically underserved when it comes to sportswear designed for the female form. Adidas aims to address this by unveiling its extensive new sports bra collection after undergoing extensive research, development and multiple testing stages.
With the impact of breast movement in sport not regularly brought to the fore, Adidas has partnered with Professor Joanna Wakefield-Scurr, head of the Research Group in Breast Health at the University of Portsmouth, to help shine a light on why sufficient breast support during exercise is crucial, and the damaging effects of not wearing the right sports bra.
“Breast movement in sport continues to be an area that is overlooked, so it’s great to have established a long-standing relationship with adidas. Not only have they invested in sports bra research and development and independent scientific testing, but they recognise the importance of raising awareness of this topic. This is great to see given the impact breasts can have on participation and performance in sport; and it’s vital that we continue to provide further education where we can,” Scurr said.
The Coreflow Luxe Studio Medium Support Bra features the new Adidas adisoft fabric, the sleek and bonded seam finish that enables a comfort first fit and feel whilst in the studio. Inspired by ballet wear, the seams allow athletes to experience a full range of motion and also ensuring full coverage and support, moving with the body through every twist and turn. The Powerimpact Luxe Training Medium Support Bra has a high neck finish, which offers extra coverage and medium support through a wide range of movement. The innovative design includes a quick release front opening for instant relief as lungs expand during exercise. The subtle front opening also provides air flow in high sweat zones.
The Fast Impact Luxe Run High Support Bra is designed to provide high support for running, as this bra includes 360 adjustability that allows athletes to have full control over required fit. It has a smooth flat seaming design along the interior and armholes that help prevent chafing.
Adidas’ new absorbent adiform fabric also provides a cool to the touch finish, whilst Aeroready technology helps manage moisture in a range of conditions.
“The wrong sports bra can have a serious impact on performance and efficiency. It was a significant undertaking with an all-female team of designers, testers and experts, and we hope this collection will help more sports bra wearers experience the benefits of added support and a better fit, and not be held back when doing the sports they love,” Amy Charlton, Senior Director Product at Adidas, said.
Regine Velasquez’s tip: Inject fun into your everyday routine
Singer-actress Regine Velasquez-Alcasid
"Asia’s Songbird" Regine Velasquez-Alcasid may have so many awards and recognitions to her name, but that doesn’t spare her from the challenges that ordinary parents face. As a first-time mom, Regine’s toughest challenge is something that many mothers can relate to – balancing work and taking care of the family.
“The toughest challenge I faced as a first-time mom is being able to balance my time between my work and taking care of Nate. I literally had to reduce my workload so I could give my full attention to our child and in keeping our household intact in terms of day to day errands, doing chores, laundry, and more! I’m sure most parents would relate to this,” she shared.
By far, it’s been a learning journey for Regine, who was recently named as Ariel Philippines’ brand ambassadress, but the challenges have enriched her life both as a mother and as a professional. She discovered that parenting is one of life’s greatest joys, providing wonderful moments to be savored.
Regine shares three insights for other moms who know the joys and challenges of having a career while raising a family at the same time.
For Regine, nothing can make you more knowledgeable about parenting than being there for your child. “Reading books and listening to the advice of mothers are important but learning through experience would be best too. Listening to your child as he/she grows develops that intimacy that you can nurture,” she said.
Regine even shared a personal experience she encountered, “In my case, Nate loves to play outdoors. Sometimes he comes back inside the house full of sweat and dirt. I used to find this as a challenge, but I learned the hard way not to stop him and just let him experience the joys of childhood. That’s why I’m happy to have Ariel as my partner in this. Bye amoy pawis at kahit anong dumi!”
Laughter makes everything light, so find ways to bring in some fun moments into routine activities so that these could become opportunities for bonding. Even daily chores like doing the laundry can have fun components that involve all family members.
“I remember this one time where I wanted Nate to learn about the importance of doing household chores at an early age, so I started creating games out of doing the laundry! It came to a point that if I tell him it’s time for laundry, he automatically runs to pick up our laundry detergent -- Ariel, of course!”
Let’s face it, everyday problems can bog us down. The best way to deal with these is to go for smart solutions specific to your concerns.
“Out of all household chores, doing the laundry used to be the most time-consuming, especially with multiple washes whenever there were tough stains. With so much time spent on chores, I had less hours in the day with Nate. But now… I am confident that my family’s clothes will be clean and fresh with minimal effort, so I can spend more quality time with my boys.”

Hot summer days call for essentials that cool, moisturize, and protect. We’ll be seeing ourselves more in the great outdoors — the warmth of the sun kissing (and tanning!) our skin, reuniting with friends we missed so much, and making more wonderful memories. While being under the warmth of the sun sounds like a lot of fun, it can also dehydrate our skin and hair. We must also make sure we nourish and care for ourselves with only nature’s best.

Have you ever felt that even though you had a good breakfast, had a quick workout, you still feel like a zombie during the day because you have not been able to get enough rest recently?
There is no surprise in this. While most of us have made some changes to our lifestyle to improve our overall health and wellness through different self-care routines, whether it's a new fitness routine or investing in a good skin care regimen, one of the important (but often overlooked) aspects of a healthy lifestyle is having a good time to rest.
Considering that the Philippines is ranked as the fourth most sleep deprived country in the world by a recent study conducted by Sleep Cycle, with more than 80% having experienced occasional sleeplessness, there’s a big chance you’ve experienced the problems of lack of sleep – the inability to think or concentrate, feeling low and out of sorts, unable to do what you want to do, and enjoy what life has to offer. You might even find yourself a little snappy with others or being short fused. More than 50% of Filipinos sleep less than seven hours a night, which means there’s a lot of us weighed down with not having enough Zzzs.
Sleep plays a very important role in one's health, having been involved in the healing and repairing of your heart and blood vessels, supporting physical growth and development, as well as maintaining a responsive immune system. Getting some downtime at the end of the day is an essential process for physical restoration.
That’s why taking care of your body – both physically and mentally – also means giving your body time to recharge. After a long day at work, take some time to recuperate. Exercising, eating healthy, and getting enough rest will help you keep your health in check and enjoy life more.
Along with a proper diet and a healthy lifestyle, start your day with the help of a new bedtime partner, Vicks ZzzQuil Natura Sleep. This new hero of the night contains 1.6 mg melatonin per two servings of gummy. One mg melatonin when taken close to bedtime may help reduce the time to fall asleep. It also comes in gummy form in wildberry vanilla flavor that’s tasty without needing water, which means you don’t even have to get up from bed.
Another option is Puritan's Pride Melatonin. Every Melatonin 3mg at P399 for 120 tablets (P3.33 per tablet) contains easy-to-digest vegetarian supplements for longer and uninterrupted sleep for an improved energy and mindset.
It also comes as Melatonin Gummies at P689 for 60 gummies (P11.4 per gummy) in strawberry flavor, for better sleep and mood.

Stay protected against HIV variants
Data from the Department of Health (DOH) shows that HIV cases in the Philippines are rising rapidly and that 30% of new HIV cases are those between 15 and 24 years old.

With over two years in lockdown brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, there is another outbreak that the public needs to be concerned about. UNAIDS recently reported new public research which revealed the existence of a more transmissible and damaging variant of HIV. While this newly identified variant does not represent a major public health threat, it underscores the urgency of speeding up efforts to halt the HIV pandemic which continues to take a life every minute.
As part of its advocacy to halt the spread of HIV, Durex calls everyone to come together to stay protected. Remaining as steadfast and driven as ever this 2022 — despite the challenges brought by the pandemic — Durex pursues its advocacy of raising awareness on the importance of condom use as means to help stop the HIV pandemic and the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the country.
Data from the Department of Health (DOH) shows that HIV cases in the Philippines are rising rapidly and that 30% of new HIV cases are those between 15 and 24 years old. Furthermore, the DOH says HIV cases increased mainly because in 2020, there was a 61% decline in HIV testing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite COVID-19, and the existence of a more transmissible variant of HIV, Durex believes couples should still be able to live life to the fullest and enjoy its perks like reigniting romance with passion while staying protected.
Boost immunity with herbal essentials
While multivitamins allow us to intake a sufficient amount of minerals our body needs in just one tablet, are you sure it’s covering all the bases? Not only do herbal capsules or drinks add an extra layer of health protection to our usual multivitamins, but it also provides an all-natural alternative to the health products we ingest.
Indeed, herbal boosters—when taken regularly—could greatly contribute to our holistic well-being. Ecarma Health Options is termed exactly that: a well-being product that strengthens your immune system and improves general health and wellness. Made with the active ingredient Pterostilbene, Ecarma contains high levels of antioxidants that boosts your immunity against common diseases that are often associated with stress, old age or unhealthy lifestyles.
Pterostilbene is a powerful & potent antioxidant found in plants like the Narra tree. It is a known antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic, reducing inflammation in the body that makes it susceptible to diseases. Ecarma extracts Pterostilbene specifically from locally sourced Narra trees in Ecarma farms, using technology developed in the country by Captain Virgilio Ecarma himself.
Available in capsule form and tea bag form, Ecarma, like similar herbal products, work best when taken regularly, as part of an overall healthy lifestyle that involves food and exercise. Available in all Metro Manila branches of Mercury Drug, and all branches of St Joseph Drug nationwide as well as online via Shopee (https://shopee.ph/ecarmahealthoptions) and Lazada (https://www.lazada.com.ph/shop/ecarma-health-options), Ecarma is FDA-approved and patented here in the Philippines to help improve conditions such as diabetes, arthritis & urinary bladder or kidney stones. Formulated with no additives, the product takes the best of a natural antioxidant and makes it an accessible, 100% natural way to level up on our health.
The past two years have proven that being proactive with strengthening our immune system gives us a better chance for survival when the threat of disease arises. One to two capsules or cups of tea with meals, up to three times a day of Ecarma increases our antioxidant level, combating the presence of free radicals in our body and acts as a defense that maintains cell health & regeneration. Our bodies need all the help it can get—along with all the components of a healthy lifestyle, herbal products such as Ecarma surely go a long way.
Relaunching the brand now has become more important than ever for Ecarma Health Options Corp.’s President, TJ Meneses said, “We know how important it is for families to stay protected, especially for breadwinners, those who must brave the daily commute and work outside of their homes. We are excited to announce that we are back on the shelves of all Metro Manila Branches of Mercury Drug, and we are now gearing to make our products more accessible to Filipinos nationwide.” — With reports from Deni Rose M.
