Children dance. Harbingers of fun under the sun they’ve always been. Whenever they’re around, the laughter is endless. And the party goes on from dark ‘til dawn. This is always what happens when Nivea comes to town.
We’re starting the summer early so we thought we’d start it right. About 130 of us made our way to a dreamy island escape that is the Pearl Farm Resort in Davao. There, Nivea and its media and celebrity pals took some time out to relax and go a little happy-crazy.
During this four-day holiday, Nivea surprised us with something else, too. We got to try on two new Nivea must-haves, something you’d surely want to bring along with you wherever you’re headed to this summer.
Sure, you need sunblock. But gone are the days when you have to feel so sticky each time you put it on. Today, Nivea has found ways to make your favorite sunblock feel better on your skin. In fact, they have even found a way to make it refreshing. Introducing Nivea Sun’s all-new Refreshing Fluid, something everyone can use every day.
“We will be entering the daily protection market,” Nivea Sun brand manager Joan Tan says, “We are the first to introduce sun products specific for daily use.”
The Nivea Sun Refreshing Fluid’s formula is mild but very effective when it comes to sun protection. This water- based milk formula fluid contains a UVA+UVB filter system, which protects the skin from UV rays while preventing sun darkening. What’s more, the Nivea Sun Refreshing Fluid is available in both Protect and Whitening formulas, both carrying SPF30 protection.
Meanwhile, if staying fresh in the summer is what you’re after, then the Nivea Deodorant Energy Fresh is perfect for you. Providing 24-hour protection, the Nivea Deodorant Energy Fresh formula also features lemongrass, which keeps you feeling good and revitalized amid any activity, all day long. Now, all day long at Pearl Farm, Nivea’s also got something exciting going on for everybody — its very own “Amazing Race.”
Yup, some celebrities, along with some members of the media, fought it out one sunny afternoon for Nivea’s adventure race that took its participants everywhere around the Pearl Farm Resort. The celebrity participants included Joyce Jimenez, Alessandra de Rossi, Michelle Madrigal, Mylene Dizon, Bubbles Paraiso, Jennifer de Silva, Say Alonzo, Jomari Yllana, Mark Herras, Joey Marquez, Jeremy Marquez, Paolo Contis, Jordan Herrera, Boy 2 Quizon, JM Rodriguez, Brad Murdock, Jimwell Stevens, Ryan Yllana and Antonio and Jay Aquitania as well as Amazing Race Asia favorites like Rovilson Fernandez, Marc Nelson along with Vanessa Chong and Paula Taylor.
The participants were divided into teams of 10. At the day’s end, team Nivea Visage was proclaimed the ultimate winner. Composed of Vanessa Ventorina, Mylene Dizon, Antonio Aquitania, Erica Paredes, JM Rodriguez, Jojo Manlongat, Jennifer da Silva, Say Alonzo, Joyce Jimenez, and Bianca Consunji, this team got to take home cool iPod Nanos, among many other prizes.
This start-of-the-year holiday, although brief, is indeed sweet. And with the summer coming very soon, the party definitely goes on. And that can only mean much more fun under the sun.
