Taking care of yourself goes beyond the surface. In an exclusive event, Cetaphil dived deeper into the simple ways for you to unlock your inner radiance

Just as diamonds take time to polish, unlocking the most radiant version of yourself requires adopting consistent routines. It’s about finding things that nurture you not just on the outside, but also on the inside. With this, Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance partnered with Luminisce Holistic Skin Innovation and MEGA to host an exclusive spa event, featuring relevant talks from industry experts about the simple ways for you to practice holistic self-care. We compiled some of the tips shared so you, too, could unveil your inner radiance.

On Movement and Fitness

“True beauty and confidence come from within. It’s not just about how we look, it’s about how we take care of our body,” Joanne Villablanca Veridiano, a wellness expert and yoga instructor, advised in her talk during the program.

Proper exercise has a myriad of benefits. On top of toning your physique and improving your physical health, it also affects your mood and confidence. According to Joanne, moving your body around also causes it to release happy hormones. Whether you’re doing extreme activities like weight lifting or engaging in fun dance routines, physical activities empower you to become stronger, more confident, and vibrant. 

Some dermatologists also suggest that exercise has a positive impact on skin health as it improves blood flow–nourishing the cells, which is crucial in skin repair. This further helps you become your most radiant self from the outside in.

On Stress Management & Recovery

Your mind and body are more connected than you may think. “Stress is the first thing that dims our inner glow,” Joanne added. Studies show that stress does not just affect one’s psyche, it also compromises your bodily functions. And as the largest organ, the skin often reflects the negative things happening to your body, diminishing your glow. 

Stress does not just exacerbate numerous skin conditions, it also affects the skin’s ability to repair itself, causing excess oil production and premature aging, among other things. According to Joanne, by managing your stress levels—whether through meditation, breath work, cold plunges, or prioritizing sleep—you are mitigating the negative effects of stress on both your mind and body.

Positive Relationships and Emotional Health

“The energy we surround ourselves with affects how we feel,” Joanne stated. Emotions affect the mental and physical well-being of an individual. Those with poor mental health tend to develop harmful habits–like neglecting personal hygiene and socially isolating themselves. 

Villablanca emphasized that nurturing a positive relationship with yourself and with others can help you regulate your mental health, allowing you to have a more positive and radiant outlook in life.

Skincare Backed by Science

Adopting an effective beauty routine is an integral part of taking care of yourself. It is the key to renewing your skin and repairing damages. With that said, building your own skincare regimen can be difficult and confusing, considering the amount of products available on the market.

In the skincare market, Cetaphil continues to be the top choice for its range of gentle products that are scientifically-proven to brighten the skin. During the event, Cetaphil Senior Brand Manager Abe Mationg presented one of the brand’s most innovative lineup—the Bright Healthy Radiance—which guests got to try for themselves.

“Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance is an entire line specific for those with sun spots [and] for those with hyperpigmentation. It’s clinically proven to reduce dark spots in seven days,” Mationg said. The collection features face and body care products, including a soap bar, cleanser, toner, serum, day and night creams, and lotion.

What sets it apart from other products is its Gentle Bright Technology—a blend of niacinamide and sea daffodil. Combined with advanced peptides and vitamin C, it effectively soothes the skin, lightens dark spots, and neutralizes free radical damage. It’s dermatologically tested, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic—making up the perfect regimen for those with sensitive skin. It offers a healthy way to achieve visibly brighter sensitive skin, thus bringing out your inner radiance.

A Holistic Approach to Radiance

“[Holistic wellness] looks easy, but is very hard to practice,” Dr. Kristina “Kaycee” Reyes Bacani—founder of Luminisce Holistic Skin Innovation and well aging expert—pointed out. Maintaining one’s radiance as they grow older is particularly hard, considering the myriad of factors that affect one’s appearance—from skin quality and bone structure to tissue displacement and volume loss.

“When I started medicine, I realized there’s architectural changes in the skin and body. Our bone flattens as it ages. There are attached muscles, tendons, and ligaments to that bone, which also affects the fat in our body. [For the skin,] we also lose elasticity. We lose that glow,” she added.

She also emphasized that preventive solutions are the key to maintaining your beauty. For her, you could never start too early with building your own regimen. Sharing her journey to the audience, she recalled, “When I was a child, I was not as genetically gifted. [People] always compare my skin with their skin. At that age, I started applying topical products [to my skin].”

The routines she has established over the years proved to be effective in mitigating signs of aging. That said, Dr. Kaycee mentioned how skincare alone may not be enough for some people. “Sometimes, even if we put moisturizer, there’s a loss of hyaluronic acid already. There’s also a loss of skin firmness because there’s a loss of elastin already.”

For those with severe skin damage or those who are simply looking to boost the effects of their routines, Dr. Kaycee also recommended trying out Galderma Aesthetics’—Cetaphil’s parent company—range of non-invasive injectables, such as Sculptra.

Sculptra, a regenerative bio-stimulator, stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. Within aesthetic circles, Sculptra continues to be the top treatment choice. Unlike other injectables in the market, it gradually improves the skin quality and health from within. It helps maintain skin firmness and structure, restores volume, and targets fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging, therefore minimizing signs of aging. It gives you a natural-looking healthy glow within the first treatment, and the results can last for up to two years.

According to Dr. Kaycee, people with established skincare routines are more receptive this type of treatment and notice better and longer lasting effects. To maintain your radiance and maximize the benefits of the products you’re using, it is best to combine skincare routines with science-backed treatments like Sculptra.
