ABS-CBN LIFESTYLE June Beauty Round-Up

<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1782312452647JUNE BEAUTY ROUND UP THUMBNAIL (2).jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>As the sweltering heat tempers down making way for damp, monsoon weather, we once again find ourselves making slight adjustments in our beauty routines. The tricky thing about transitioning from high summer to rainy season (at least for most parts of the archipelago) is that temperatures remain relatively warm.</p><p>In curating a skincare regimen, building an everyday makeup arsenal, and editing a new fragrance wardrobe for damp weather in the tropics, several considerations come into play. Humidity, the body’s acidity, and personal lifestyle are just a few of many. </p><p>As such, there really is no one formula that fits all. But you can explore, discover, mix, and match a weatherproof beauty and bodycare routine that’s uniquely you this season. </p><div><strong>TRIED AND TRUE INGREDIENTS</strong></div><p>From a skincare standpoint, monsoon weather could mean increased sebum production and the appearance of oilier, shiner skin. This may also trigger pore congestion, irritation or inflammation, as well as overall skin dulling. Skincare products that hone in on efficacious ingredients help to targets these specific skin concerns. They also cut through the noise in the beauty space, making it easier for you to build a regimen that truly suited to your needs.</p><div><strong>Like It Luxe</strong></div><div><strong><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1782302184330La Prairie White Caviar Light Infusion Essence.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:323px"/></strong><br/></div><p>La Prairie White Caviar Light Infusion Essence merges its proprietary Cellular Complex™ with caviar extract and Thiamidol to boost cellular regeneration, restore firmness and elasticity, as well as counteract melanin overproduction. It is the ideal base in your skincare regimen if you are dealing with dull, aging skin. <em>P30,500. Available at Rustan’s Department Stores.</em></p><div><strong>K-Beauty Discovery</strong></div><div><strong><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1782302333567VT Cosmetics PDRN Capsule Cream.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:301px"/></strong><br/></div><p>VT Cosmetics PDRN Capsule Cream harnesses PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) to restore, revitalize, and bring back skin’s radiance. Typically, this widely popular key ingredient is sourced from salmon sperm. VT Cosmetics, however, offers a vegan option powered by 100,000ppm PDRN, an extraordinarily high concentration that supasses standard skincare formulations. PDRN is ideal for rainy weather as it counters skin sensitivities and reinforces skin barrier. It also works like a humectant to lock in moisture, creating a glass-skin finish. <em>P1,190. Available at Look At Me, SM Aura.</em></p><div><strong>All Time Favorite</strong></div><div><strong><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1782302382187The Ordinary Retinol in Squalene.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:323px"/></strong><br/></div><p>Rainy season is the perfect time to switch to retinol. Humidity helps to keep skin hydrated, combatting the ingredient’s usual side effects like peeling. Use of retinol is also best when there is minimal exposure to extreme heat and sun. The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalene is an advanced retinol formula that evens out skin tone and texture. It also works to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles due to loss of skin elasticity. This lightweight serum is blended with squalene, which balances out  the drying effects of retinol. <em>P999. Available at Look At Me, SM Aura</em></p><div><strong>INNER GLOW SECRETS</strong></div><p>It only takes a few (really) good things in the makeup arsenal to highlight healthy, radiant, and deeply nourished skin. For many seasons now, good makeup has been about building a breathable, barely-there base as opposed to piling on the layers to conceal. This monsoon season, swap heavy foundations and opt for illuminating primers, sheer highlighters and multi-use lotions.</p><div><strong>Expert Led</strong></div><div><strong><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1782302427769TEVIANT The Ultiimate Skin Master Luminous Radiant Primer copy.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:300px"/></strong><br/></div><p>Teviant The Ultimate Skin Master Luminous Radiant Primer was created by celebrity makeup artist Albert Kurniawan who shares, “I’m really proud of the collection. Let’s face it, most of the makeup brands out there cater to Western skin tones and weather. So when we use it here, the shades tend to be too light and the formulations tend to cake.” Products like the Luminous Radiant Primer were formulated especially for Asian skin types, tones and tropical weather.  <em>P995. Available online at teviantbeauty.com.</em></p><div><strong>Accessible Find</strong></div><div><strong><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1782302462188blk Radiant Glow Lotion.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:236px"/></strong><br/></div><p>blk Radiant Glow is a lightweight, fast-absorbing lotion for face and body, formulated with shea butter and calming immortelle extracts. Make no mistake, this is not your usual shimmer lotion. Apart from its deeply hydrating and skin soothing attributes, it leaves a subtle, natural glow on skin. Dab a small amount onto the cheekbones, tip of the nose and bow of the the upper lip to top off your makeup look.<em> P499.

This deeply hydrating foundation stick gives sheer to light buildable coverage. You can wear it two ways: as a sheer, no-foundation base or as a subtle highlighter.  A unique light mapping mesh tech lifts and sculps facial features in all the right places. This best kept beauty secret is definitely worth the hunt. <em>P2,952. Available online at FWRD Philippines . </em><strong><br/></strong></p><div><strong>A TINGE OF TERRACOTA </strong></div><p>A full makeup face, especially in monsoon weather, tends to add years and weigh down the face. The key makeup look for 2026 harks back at timeless beauties of the 90s. Think Big Four (otherwise known as Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, and Linda Evangelista), Winona Ryder, and Julia Roberts. This season, makeup artists are gravitating towards warm, earthy makeup tones on eyes, cheeks, and lips.</p><div><strong>Expert Led</strong></div><div><strong><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1782302575507Teviant Velvety Drop in shade Sex Appeal.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:318px"/></strong><br/></div><p>Teviant  Multi-Use Tinted Mousse Serum (in shade Sex Appeal) was formulated to caress skin like a cloud of  mousse.

It is formulated with tamanu oil and peptides, leaving skin buttery soft and hydrated.
