<div><strong>Cathy Doll PH Launches Aqua Sun Bright Up on its 10th Anniversary</strong></div><p>Entering the South Entertainment Hall at the Mall of Asia, a fuchsia pastel booth greeted us—it was Cathy Doll’s latest installation for their 10th anniversary and their latest innovation to date: the<strong> Aqua Sun Bright Up Body Sun Serum</strong>!</p><p>Hosted by content creator <strong>Nikki Tiu</strong>, the event also introduced <strong>Toni Sia</strong> as the latest face of the Aqua Sun Bright Up launch. She exclusively unveiled to METRO her secrets to staying fresh and effortlessly beautiful under the sun. “I do not leave the house without sunscreen.” Especially since her job frequently requires her to wear makeup, she ensures SPF is a non-negotiable part of her skincare routine. “I really make sure that it’s either I apply sunscreen on my body or I apply sunscreen as my skin prep.” True to what she says, Cathy Doll’s Aqua Sun Bright Up Body Sun Serum provides a non-greasy finish and has a very rich consistency; yet, when spread out, it blends easily and brightens the skin’s complexion without any white cast.</p><p>Furthermore, Toni shared more insights on staying beautiful, emphasizing the importance of taking care of her body not only from the outside but also from the inside. “Right now I’m just doing intermittent fasting,” Toni said. “I also do cardio—once a day, I try. Kasi <em>medyo napadami ang</em> Dubai Chewy Cookie,” she humorously added. “As for food, I try to keep it to whole foods—so it’s all about balance.”</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYWgzo4pOjp/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=1080&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A2071828%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1107" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Cathy Doll’s products are made in Thailand, which makes them suitable for the Philippine weather.

Housed in stunning white bottles that reflect the epitome of Swiss luxury, La Prairie’s beauty elixirs go beyond a typical skincare line—it is the gold standard for self-care.</p><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Held at the Raffles Hotel, the venue was transformed into a haven for indulgence and self-care, where guests were entertained with an afternoon tea in collaboration with the hotel. The Swiss skincare line also led an exclusive masterclass, showcasing the top-tier, patented ingredients La Prairie has incorporated into its products. Backed by meticulous laboratory testing, each product is formulated to not only show immediate effects upon application but also allow users to feel the deluxe sensation with every application onto the skin.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779761582502La Prairie White Caviar Collection.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">La Prairie White Caviar Collection</span></span></span></div><div><em>The La Prairie White Caviar High Tea collaboration is available at the Raffles Hotel until July 2026, while the collection is available at Rustan’s.

The launch introduces a brilliant hybrid complexion collection infused with signature Taishi ingredients.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17797010347391.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">KANEBO TAISHI Complex</span></span></span></div><p>TAISHI Complex is a biometric breakthrough inspired by vernix caseosa, the natural moisture barrier that protects newborn skin. Rather than masking the face under a static layer of pigment, this skincare-first formulation works on a concept of disappearing coverage. Rather than resting heavily over the pores, the cream lends a deep, light-reflective bounce to the skin while the ultra-weightless powder dissolves on contact to mimic a velvety airbrushed filter. </p><p>The collection features two powerhouse textures: the Lively Skin II cream for a dewy finish and the Melty Skin II powder for a filter-like effect. Both lines are designed to celebrate the unique undertones of every individual. <a href="https://rustans.com/products/kanebo-lively-skin-wear-ii?_pos=1&amp;_psq=KANEBO+LIV&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Shop here</em></a>! <em>—</em><strong><em>Leigh Sofia Lazo</em></strong></p><div><br/></div><div><strong>One Nadela Medical Group Now Opens Its Makati and BGC Clinics</strong></div><p>A new standard of clinical grace arrives in Metro Manila as One Nadela Medical Group officially opens its doors in Makati and BGC. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17797010524772.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">ONE Nadela Medical Group</span></span></span></div><p>Founded in Cebu and led by a family of board-certified physicians, the practice brings a rare, family-first philosophy to the capital, treating aesthetic medicine as a shared language of harmony and intention.</p><p>“We treat every patient the way we would treat our own family. That means being honest about what they need, thoughtful about how we proceed, and present throughout the entire process,” said founder <strong>Dr. Vinizza “Niña” Nadela-Kong</strong>.</p><p>At the center of One Nadela Medical’s clinical approach is a commitment to facial harmonization, a belief that aesthetic medicine is an exercise in revelation and not a tool for imposition. Not mapping a standardized ideal onto the face, their approach gently coaxes out the inherent symmetry and structural coherence already present within. Every feature is evaluated in relation to the whole, and treatments are meticulously sequenced with an eye toward enduring balance. <em>Follow them on Instagram at </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/onenadelamed" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>@onenadelamed</em></a><em>—</em><strong><em>Leigh Sofia Lazo</em></strong></p><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><strong>Swiss Proli Honors Moms and the Power of Holistic Health</strong></div><p>In a beautiful pre-Mother’s Day tribute, wellness brand Swiss Proli gathered an intimate circle of inspiring mothers, storytellers, and wellness advocates for “Heroes of Home” last May 7, at the Avenue Bar of Manila House Private Club, BGC.</p><p>Known for its science-backed supplements that promote balance and vitality, the brand dedicated the afternoon to honoring the strength and sacrifices of modern mothers, while spotlighting a crucial narrative: the vital importance of women’s holistic health.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779762028071Swiss Proli Heroes of Home.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>The exclusive event featured a moving program that brought together mothers from diverse industries to share their honest experiences of juggling high-powered careers with the demands of family life. Among the distinguished honorees recognized for their resilience were celebrated actress Janice de Belen, singer-actress Angeline Quinto, visionary entrepreneurs Patch Singson and Ruth Nieto.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779763446651Swiss Proli Angeline Quinto.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/> </div><p>“We celebrate mothers not just for all that they do, but for who they are. They give so much of themselves every single day, and it’s just as important that we remind them to care for their own health and well-being, too. Swiss Proli complements that initiative as every mother’s perfect wellness partner,” shared the entrepreneur and Swiss Proli pioneer Pinky Tobiano.</p><p>Swiss Proli steps in as an essential partner in a mother&#x27;s daily routine rather than adding another daunting task to her to-do list. Through thoughtfully engineered, science-backed solutions like the Lean Quick Gummies, which streamline metabolism and digestive health, and the restorative, melatonin-infused Night Gummies designed for deep nighttime recovery, the brand seamlessly integrates wellness into the chaotic rhythm of modern motherhood. <em>Shop <a href="https://swissproli.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>!</em> <em>—</em><strong><em>Leigh Sofia Lazo</em></strong></p>
