BEAUTY BULLETIN: New from Leaders, Dr. Morita, St. Ives, and Healthy Monsters!

It's hump day Wednesday and one of my favorite things to do on this day of the week is to indulge in skin pampering so I exfoliate and use sheet masks in my night routine; it's a cheap way to destress!

These skin care packages just arrived on my doorstep this week and it's timely for today's indulgence! Let's look at them!

Leaders is my most favorite sheet mask because of the variety, generous dose of essence, and I've personally experienced how these have helped me achieve super bouncy, glossy skin! Leaders wants to remind you that there's a sheet mask for every day of the week, every concern, and every skin type. Here are just some of them:

1. Aquaringer Mask- contains Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), Amino Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, and Natural Mineral from Alps Glacial Water

2. Bio Healthy Multi Mask- features Coconut Fermentation fabric they call Second Skin. Contains Vitamin C & E, CoQ10, Hyaluronic Acid, Betaglucan, and Trehalose

Speaking of sheet masks, one of Taiwan's best has just arrived in the Philippines and it's Dr. Morita. The brand, Dr. Morita, started out in 1934 in Taiwan; it was established under Morita Department Store that specialized in skin care products. Eventually, the members of the founding family have moved into the medical field and training. Dr. Morita is basically a sheet mask developed by doctors!

Dubbed as the no.1 best- selling sheet mask in Asia, Dr. Morita's Hyaluronic Sheet Mask has recently won the Silver Award from Monde Selection; aside from this, there are also 5 more variants to enjoy:

1. Intense Hydrating Serum Facial Mask- contains Japanese Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Allantoin, Squalene, and Ceramides

2. Triple Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Essence Facial Mask- has large, medium, and small Hyaluronic Acid molecules to penetrate all the layers of the skin and provide lasting hydration.

3. Whitening and Moisturizing Essence Facial Mask- with Japanese Hyaluronic Acid, Mandelic Acid, and AHA.

4. Platinum Colloid and Hematite Extraction Whitening Black Facial Mask- with Japanese Tranexamic Acid, multiple herb extracts, and Hyaluronic Acid for deep hydration. Also has iron- rich Hematite and Obsidian extracts known for toning, regeneration, strengthening, and antioxidant properties.
