MIKA SALAMANCA is the New LUXE ORGANIX Brand Ambassador

After a really great week for Mika Salamanca, she's not stopping anytime soon as she gets signed with beauty brand LUXE ORGANIX. The event was graced by GMA AVP for Talent Management Mr. Vic Del Rosario, Ms. Anne Puno the AVP for Talent Sales Branding and Marketing, Ms. Joy Marcelo the FVP for Sparkle, Mr. Eugene Yap and Ms. Diane Yap the CEO and President of Luxe Organics.

Mr. Eugene Yap says "It's her authenticity that made us have her as our endorser. We are a brand that remains affordable but effective. She is inspiring and has influence, this is an exciting partnership"

Mica says "I always see them in stores and I personally use their product. I didn't really have to make an effort because I knew, one day, that I would be part of this brand. I am super happy because a lot of brands approached me but this one works for me. I like the cleansing balm, but I'm a fan of the Aloe Vera and Rose Scented products that they have. I need to show them my skin, and that's because of LUXE ORGANIX."

When asked about the things she could suggest for those starting skincare or makeup, she says "Before you even put on something that would cover your skin, you have to make sure it's hydrated. I get little breakouts when I use things that are not in a gel form so Luxe Organix is the perfect solution for me."

She also suggested to use the spray on Sunscreen because we need to always look young. Sun damage certainly isn't a part of that, so she gets points for choosing that among the products that they have.

Luxe Organix is available in Watsons, leading stores and online too.

MARIEL PADILLA Shares Importance of Self Care, Muscles at MARIE FRANCE

A beautiful morning at Marie France Makati had us enjoy a talk about feminine health. With her was Mariel Padilla, as she shares her experience with care and age. 

Dr. Preetha Kkiran of Wonder Axon says "The first thing I want to tell you is to take care of your muscles, consider doing that in your post retirement life. In your early 30's there will be muscle reduction, and you may have to have 3-5% muscle loss. Everything that we see today is talking about muscle and protein, it's like sponge that absorbs glucose. We all want that magic, deep inside, it is directly related to metabolic rate. As we do activities, you consume energy and that comes from somewhere. You have to make a connection with muscle, fats and metabolism. If you give birth, ask your doctor when it is good to start with building muscle. In a generic manner, 6 weeks, 8-12 if c section when our body is healing. Recovery starts slowly, but we have to understand we have to start early. We have pelvic muscle strengthening treatment, it gives you a non invasive lift behind you, who doesn't want that?! It's a big challenge, but with Wonder Axon it helps you get oxygen in cells, blood in it. It helps you regain posture."

Here's Mariel talking about how she managed to pamper herself no matter how busy she is. 

 

She says "No one talks about it but after giving birth, I had no idea it was going to be that way. I didn't have control anymore when going to the loo, when you laugh, cough, sneeze, you have to go to the bathroom and no one told me about it. I learned it was completely normal, I have more control of it now and if I knew about Wonder Axon, I could have made it early. The word for Wonder Axon for me is intense, but not painful. There are parts where I feel I'm strong. I get encouraged because you feel it is working, after it, I felt like I worked out when in fact I was just in Marie France for 25 minutes. My favorite part was in the buttocks and tummy area. The back thighs and arms were challenging. I feel it also released endorphins after the session and really felt it."

Mariel adds "I can relate to your story, with the brain fog, incontinence, we all experience that and we are not alone. You don't have to be afraid because it really does happen. There's something that can help us in Marie France and I'm so happy to be here. Now we women can share what we are going through and not be afraid. It's not just for losing weight, when we have muscles you can eat more."

At the event, we learned that there are 3 technologies used for the procedure, Neuro muscular stimulation (deeper penetration), electro magnetic transmission (comes from fat), and radio frequency (gives enhancement). They said this would also complement the Kiegl exercise. Aside from that, protein and amino acids also are something they encourage you to have (to see what you put on your plate). Include it on your diet, have enough good sleep, have night rituals, because all of that plays an important role.

If you would like to do it, just get in touch with the folks from Marie France and their branches.
