What's a woman to do in order to fight back? Stress is inevitable, but if you want to ward off the ugly effects of stress (think abnormal ageing and disease), then you've got to find ways to inject a little more R&R into your life STAT!
Here at Metro.Style, we spend hours on end looking for the best new self-care products, services, and treatments we can get our hands on to make sure we're living our best lives. The latest in skincare, the newest makeup additions to our vanity, as well as the best new services we should be trying are just some of the ways we practice self-care and self-love.
Just recently, I found myself indulging in a treat at one of the newest havens of beauty in the metro—BEAUTIQA, a multi-brand beauty boutique in the heart of Ortigas at the Shangri-La Plaza Mall. This flagship store houses some of the best in anti-ageing, skincare, and other specialty products worthy of your attention.
And no, you don't just shop here, you actually get to sample most of the products at their in-house skin spa that offers cutting-edge facials to the discerning beauty crowd. Here, you get to try some of the most advanced formulas exclusively available at Beautiqa, even before you bring them home. Their facials do not involve pricking, just application of products via specialized procedures by their trained therapists.
I personally found myself transported into facial bliss, an hour or so of pure relaxation via skilled therapist hands, applying each product gracefully, making sure the products seep deep into my skin. I won't mind coming back to escape the city's craziness one more time, and you too, should give it a try!
