Give your skin a radiant holiday glow with Physiogel

MANILA, Philippines - With the weather changing anew this holiday season, now is the best time to make sure that the skin products that you use go well with your skin.

With all the dermatological products that are available in the market these days, it’s better to first determine a person’s skin type before choosing one, because not everyone has the same skin type. “Skin care products could aggravate your skin if they don’t match your skin type. Be discerning in choosing skin products,” says dermatologist Dr. Bernadette Arcilla.

Sensitive skin is characterized by subjective complaints of discomfort without predictable signs of irritation and without an immunologic response. Dry, sensitive skin is also caused by a damaged skin barrier; water tends to escape and cause dry skin.

Experts know that sensitive skin requires special care and attention. More often than not, they recommend Physiogel moisturizers from Stiefel, a GSK Company. Physiogel is equipped with the revolutionary Derma Membrane Structure (DMS) technology, which is formulated to resemble the natural building blocks of the skin to effectively help repair the skin barrier and help prevent moisture loss.

Run-of-the-mill or conventional moisturizers may only mask skin dryness to lend it transitory moisture, which can easily be washed off by rinsing or washing. Physiogel, however, hydrates and keeps the skin moisturized by mimicking the natural lipid composition of the skin for up to three days even with washing or bathing.

Physiogel Cream is non-comedogenic, and it’s ideal for the face. Physiogel Lotion is for larger body surface areas and has a lightweight feel.

Physiogel AI Cream or Lotion is the moisturizer for those with irritation, itchiness and/or redness of the skin, while Physiogel Cleanser, is a gentle moisturizing cleanser, is mild and hypoallergenic.

Prices of Physiogel have been reduced by as much as 29 percent.

Makeup trends for 2014

For Spring/Summer 2014, the no-makeup look will be dominant. It will all be about raw, natural beauty. Complexions will be understated, flawless, fresh, and well-groomed but effortless. The pure, organic, natural beauty of the face will be celebrated. Keep everything neutral, but emphasize a radiant, glowing skin with a defined and elongated brow. The desired effect—ethereal and super natural.

Makeup for Fall/Winter 2014, meanwhile, is a sensual look that highlights cherry red lips. Metallic eyes are back but with a lightened overall effect with flawless skin and a hint of gloss. It will all be about a natural flush with blush darker than your skin tone and a little pearlized shadow to add depth to the eyes; natural-looking skin with shimmery pigments; and gloss and a structured, statement brow.

Here’s a beauty insider’s tip: It’s great to use Physiogel Cleanser as a makeup remover for those with sensitive skin.

Skin care 101: The right skin care routine

Toning is a good facial exercise: While facial exercises may sound silly. It’s important to remember that your face has muscles, and toned muscles will always look better than flabby muscles. It’s one more reason to smile more often.

Moisturize and more. If you think you’ve moisturized enough, slather on some more. Moisturize more than you think you need to. It’s best to apply while the skin is still damp so the product can help trap some of the surface moisture into your skin. And, while you’re at it, moisturize inside and out by staying hydrated with lots of water.

Expert-recommended Physiogel is clinically proven to repair and rehydrate dry, sensitive skin and Physiogel Cream and Physiogel Lotion is your first line of defense against skin dryness.
