A fuller life at 43

MANILA, Philippines - Say “Life begins at 40” and a good number of men and women will agree. Way past the gawky stages of pimply adolescence or the insecurities of young adulthood, and done with the constant exertion of parenting vigorous babies with boundless energy, those in their 40s have likely become comfortable with who they are. With better financial security to back them up, they may also embark on new ventures, or reinvent themselves with the goal of living more fulfilling lives.

The same holds true for Fullerlife Direct Selling Philippines. This year, the company celebrates the 43rd anniversary of Tupperware in the Philippines by coming up with new collections of the durable brand, while broadening its range with an effective new line of skincare products. Designed for women 25 years old and above, the skin line is called Nutrimetrics Skinlogics. It is formulated with natural ingredients to brighten, tighten and renew skin the natural way.

 “This is truly a celebration of natural beauty and healthy living,” says Perry Mogar, president of Fullerlife Direct Selling Philippines. “With the launch of Nutrimetrics Skinlogics, we are addressing the need for natural skin care products to help women achieve brighter, more youthful-looking skin.” The products are formulated and tested extensively in Dallas, Texas.

To maintain soft and smooth skin, Skinlogics Gold moisturizing facial cream has components like vitamin C, ginseng, green tea, gingko biloba complex and co-enzyme Q10 to reduce fine lines, improve skin tone and protect the face against future skin damage. In December this year, the cream will come in refillable containers—a timely response to the widespread call for a reduction of plastic waste.

Other products in the Skinlogics line include a facial wash with salicylic acid that peels off dead skin cells to reveal a brighter complexion and restore youthful glow without stripping the essential nutrients from the skin, and an Exfoliating Facial Scrub that is a gentle means of invigorating and smoothening the skin. Meanwhile, the Skinlogics toner contains licorice that calms skin as it rinses away impurities and makeup, while keeping skin firm and restoring natural pH levels.

“Skincare should be easy and not take too much of your time,” says multi-tasking actress, model, equestrienne and mom Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski. As the image model for Fullerlife’s Nutrimetrics Skinlogics line, she believes in a fast, no-fuss approach to skincare. However, while too much time spent preening can impinge on other meaningful activities for the Filipino woman, it is equally important to make an effort to look and feel good. Thus, the importance of using effective skincare and other beauty and wellness products.

“Aside from the price points of the Nutrimetrics Skinlogics line, there is the direct-selling advantage factor where people are given an option of how they will pay,” says Fullerlife Direct Selling marketing director Cherry McCaffrey, who believes that looking and feeling good need not take a backseat when more basic needs eat up a lion’s share of the budget. The direct-selling advantage is that it allows consumers to pay for items in two or three (or more) “gives” so that it is not painful on the pocket.  With Fullerlife, a wide inventory of best-quality, reasonably priced products for people of all ages and items for the home allows for a wider reach.

The best thing going for Fullerlife is that it is a company committed towards improving peoples’ lives by opening up income-generating opportunities. And at this year’s 43rd anniversary of its Tupperware brand, Fullerlife will donate five pesos to the United Nations World Food Program for every Chain of Confidence tumbler and meal bowl sold. “Tupperware is giving back through its Chain of Confidence Campaign, which aims to enlighten, educate and empower women all over the world so they can improve their lives and the lives of others,” says Fullerlife Direct Selling Philippines president Perry Mogar.

Clearly, Fullerlife has its priorities straight. It may have launched a new skincare line this year, but through its effort in improving people’s lives, remains cognizant that true beauty goes beyond skin deep.
