The Philippines’ number one movie channel and top cable channel, Cinema One, will be the first to premiere the award-winning crime thriller “On The Job,” happening this Sunday (June 29) during the channel’s Blockbuster Sundays movie block at 8:00pm.

Olay AquAction: Revolutionary Approach to Hydration care

to deliver a new standard of hydration – “Pump-pump” bouncy skin 

Olay has launched AquAction – a new hydration range featuring the breakthrough HydraLock technology to deliver a new standard in hydration care. 

Not one, but two causes behind skin dryness

Skin is constantly losing moisture to its surroundings – much like a leaky bucket – even if it is being constantly replenished with moisture. In fact, without doing much at all, we can lose about two glasses of water a day by just normal breathing and evaporation from our skin – imagine how much more moisture an active woman can lose!

Pantene Aqua Pure - Get clean, light hair without the weight!

Pantene Aqua Pure Conditioner

HEAVY HAIR: THE REAL CAUSES... 

  

We’ve all felt that weighed-down, lifeless feeling in our hair. Pantene has discovered exactly what’s contributing to the problem:

1. FINE HAIR 

While all hair types can suffer from the weighed down feeling, fine hair is particularly susceptible to this problem, due to its structure.

After studying hair structures and conditioning mechanisms in detail, Pantene experts realized that many conditioners are too heavy for fine hair. The reason? When hair shafts are fine they are less able to support the nourishing ingredients deposited on the hair by many conditioners, leading hair to become limp. Traditionally, to combat this, hair care collections have offered a ‘lighter’ option, which compromises on nourishment. However, Pantene’s breakthrough technology found in the new Aqua Pure range, offers a solution which means no more trade off – delivering both nourishment and a lighter feel.
