We women live in a society where our outward appearance seems to have become all-important – the yardstick by which we measure ourselves and by which we are measured. In my decades of experience on reviewing skin care products and dermatology procedures, I’ve explored every aspect of how we see beauty and the extraordinary lengths to which we go in pursuing it.
We’ve drifted along, guided by market forces into accepting that beauty is some kind of mask we put on, when in truth it is simply the natural result of vibrant health. We spend no end of time and money on the image we present to the world, but at the same time, we often make poor choices that compromise our well-being.
But we have to admit that the beauty products made today bring great help to finding the right skin care regimen that we should use. Instead of experimenting as non-pros which can even lead to solutions that mitigate the damage, we should find the safest products that our can really take care of our stressed-out skin.

Well-known dermatologist Dr. Karen Gavino-Dionisio of the Aesthetic Institute of the Philippines shared information about good skin cleansing habits and specific products that can help prevent breakouts, arrest excessive oil production and sooth sensitive skin.
All week long, consumers will get lectures on skin types, the importance of caring for oily skin, the do’s and don’ts of oily skin and what products to use for various skin needs as they went through various stations at the Cleanance booth to enjoy interactive experiences and win prizes.
As you know, your daily beauty habits have a big impact on what you see in the mirror. Ultimately, caring for your skin is simply personal.
While Sebum is vital for keeping the skin healthy, too much of it can lead to oily skin, clogged pores, and acne. Managing oily skin often requires a person making regular skin care a habit.
To help, Cleanance,came up with the ultimate solution to oily skin for both men and women. It is made especially for acne-prone skin with spots and blackheads because it has gentle and exclusive active ingredients that regulate sebum production without drying the skin and also reduces the appearance of blemishes.
During Avène’s week-long Shine-Free Campaign, customers will gain access to Cleanance EXPERT—the full Cleanance line that was introduced at the interactive booths. When used as a team, the products help to carry out the Cleanance Skin Care Routine of Cleanse, Prepare, Reduce Blemishes and Protect.
Products featured in these events include:
- Cleanance Cleansing Gel – to jump start the cleansing process and control sebum production. It is soap-free but deeply cleanses the skin while maintaining the surface hydrolipidic film.
- Cleanance Micellar Water – to gently remove impurities from the face and eyes without the need to rinse.
- Cleanance Mattifying Lotion – a two toner combination of gentle astringent and mattifying powders to purify skin and tighten pores without irritation.
- Cleanance Skin Refining Serum – a super light, watery texture serum that gives skin a sensation of comfort and freshness.
- Cleanance Expert Emulsion -to reduce blemishes and dark spots.
- Cleanance Spot Corrector – a pen that helps reduce the appearance of localized blemishes with daily use and touch up unwanted spots.
- Cleanance Solaire – provides high-sun protection of delicate facial skin with acne.
The goal of any skin-care routine is to tune up your complexion so it’s functioning at its best, and also troubleshoot or target any areas you want to work on. Beauty routines are an opportunity to notice changes within yourself. As your skin needs shifts with age, so will your products.
