Going back to basics with Mary Kay's Botanical Effects

I'm a guy who loves to take good care of his skin.  A lot of people would ask if i'm wearing anything like foundation or powder.  Modesty aside, i just take good care of my skin and I do that by just washing my face twice a day and drinking lots of liquid.  No foundation. No make-up.

So when a friend of mine handed me a press kit about Mary Kay's new product, I tried it first hehehe and it delivered what it basically promised - taking good care of your skin in 2 easy (again) BASIC steps - Cleanse and Hydrate.

Nowadays, young consumers are pressed into complicated, multi-step processes just to keep up with the times, skin care and beauty being no exception. Now, Mary Kay introduced a daily skin care regimen that could give all the elements and advantages of a multi-step line in just two easy steps.

According to Mr. Tente Alday, Mary Kay Philippines’ General Manager, “Answering the call of going back to nature, simplicity, and freshness amongst all the complicated lifestyles filled with too many product offerings, Mary Kay has come up with an innovative, simple yet customized skin care line that allows every value-conscious and every young consumer to experience the goodness of botanicals perfectly fit to his/her skin’s needs.”

“All Mary Kay® Botanical Effects™ Skin Care formulas contain an exclusive botanical complex with two effective botanical ingredients: Silymarin, a powerful antioxidant used for over 2,000 years that helps defend against environmental damage, while calming and smoothing skin, and Luo Han Guo, an ingredient infused with antioxidants, believed to help promote healthy skin. Because each skin type has its specific characteristics and concerns, the Botanical Effects™ line goes the extra distance to add another two potent botanical ingredients for each of the three skin types, “Ms. Fatima Lopez, Mary Kay Philippines’ brand manager explained during the recently concluded product launch.

“You can bid dry skin farewell and bring out its healthy radiance with the help of Flaxseed and Sea Kelp, both known sources of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, which are integral to moisturization and balance. Those with normal skin can enhance hydrated happiness due to Frangipani Flower extracts, with antioxidants against environmental stressors and Water Lily Extract, a source of minerals important for healthy, calm skin. And, those with oily skin can say so long to shine with Kanuka and Guava Extracts that help purify and unclog pores while at the same time sloughing away dead skin. All formulas are hypoallergenic and formulated for even the most sensitive of skins,” Lopez added.

The power of these botanical, nature-inspired formulas are harnessed most effectively with the Botanical Effects™ Skin Care 3-in-1 Cleanse that cleanses, mildly exfoliates, and freshens in just one step. Let the Botanical Effects™ Skin Care Hydrate serves as a perfect complement that is quickly absorbed by the skin and leaving it feeling balanced. The Botanical Effects™ Skin Care Mask is a supplement that further revitalizes and rids the skin of impurities. These simple, easy-to-use skin care formulas will leave your skin smiling from the inside out!

Now, I know poets you will ask me how much?  The Botanical Effects™ Skin Care 3-in-1 Cleanse retails at Php 950, while the Botanical Effects™ Skin Care Hydrate and Botanical Effects™ Skin Care Mask retail at Php 850 and Php 950, respectively.

All three breakthrough products are already available through a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant. Now if you don't know any consultant yet, you may visit www.marykay.com.ph or call them at (632) 859-6200.
