Helen Ho, brand manager of Taiwanese skincare brand 23.5°N, provided valuable insights into selecting skincare products tailored for Filipina skin. Amidst the abundance of online choices and the complexity of skincare routines, making informed decisions can be daunting. Here are key tips to navigate through the confusion:
Avoid Fragrances: To prevent skin breakouts, steer clear of products containing fragrances, which are known to be the top irritants for skin, contrary to popular belief about alcohol.
Consider Formulations: Different skincare brands cater to varied needs. Western and European products are often richer and creamier, designed to combat extreme cold and dry heat. In contrast, Korean brands focus on protecting skin from chilly weather conditions. It’s crucial to choose products that align with the tropical, humid climate of the Philippines.
Light and Non-Greasy Products: Opt for skincare solutions that strike a balance between oil and water-based ingredients, providing nourishment, moisture, and protection suitable for humid weather.
Simplify Ingredient Lists: Less is more when it comes to skincare ingredients. Products with fewer, natural components reduce the risk of skin irritation. Ho advises scrutinizing labels to understand what goes into each formulation.
Sensitive Skin Care: Individuals with sensitive skin should choose products free from fragrance, artificial coloring, alcohol, and parabens to minimize the risk of adverse reactions.
Ho also emphasizes the importance of indoor sun protection, highlighting Japanese-formulated sunscreens from Skin Aqua. These products shield against UVA, UVB, and blue light emitted by electronic screens, offering essential broad-spectrum protection and moisturization.
By opting for skincare products with natural and organic ingredients, Filipinas can enhance their skincare routines with confidence, ensuring their skin responds positively to the chosen products.
For those interested in Skin Aqua’s offerings, they are available through official Mentholatum stores on Lazada and Shopee, featuring options like the Supermoisture Essence and Supermoisture Gel, each tailored to different skincare needs.
