This is the classic chase after lasting beauty and youthful looks.
Luckily for us, women today are overwhelmingly beset with beauty products and no one is complaining. So now here comes another line of skincare products unveiled so recently by Dr. Vicki Belo, the well-known cosmetic dermatologist.
The great thing about Belo Essentials is that it was conceptualized and developed by this Filipino doctor and her daughter Cristalle Belo Henares under Intelligent Skin Care Inc. (ISCI). Belo Essentials is a range of skin whitening products, which, according to Dr. Belo, is unique in that a two-step whitening system dubbed the Dermlight Skin Systems controls melanin production while preventing the melanin to rise to the surface of the skin. Dr. Vicki Belo, the dermatologist of the stars, guarantees her products. Like she says, “Because my name is on it, I’ve made sure the product really works!”
First is a choice of whitening lotion or whitening lotion with SPF 15. Any product with UBV and UVA protection is your skin’s best friend even if you don’t go to the beach but stay in the city. The magic ingredient here is pentavitin, to which was added chamomile extract, which moisturizes and hydrates dry skin.
The Belo Essentials whitening face wash evens out skin tone and inhibits “tyrosinase” to reduce darkening. Moisturizing properties help minimize pores as well as prevents production of melanin.
The addition of vitamins D and E to all the soap bars to prevent dryness and chamomile extract to sooth does wonders. The body bars which cost as much as your regular beauty soap are boosted also with the whitening pentavitin. So it’s a good idea to scrub well on your elbows, knees, underarms and other nooks and crannies in your torso.
Vicki launched the Belo Essentials to celebrate her 17 years in the beauty industry. When we first met, she had a little clinic near the Makati Medical Center and today, she has blossomed to a celebrity doctor and one might say is the best advertisement for her clinic. The Belo Medical Group which she founded became known, among other things, for cosmetic surgery and laser-assisted liposuction which she pioneered in the Philippines.
Her goal is not only to make the Philippines literally the “most beautiful country in world…one person at a time” but to boost medical tourism here.
With so many choices in the market, what’s a woman to do? Vicki believes she’s got the magic formula of good but affordable. That is, Belo Essentials is a great whitening product and it costs less than a much publicized foreign brand.
