Special Ad Feature: The Pond’s promise for moms: Look up to 10 years younger with the Pond’s Age Miracle 3-Step Regimen

Being a mother is a full-time vocation that can be as frustrating as it is fulfilling.  By taking care of the household, juggling careers, and putting family first before anything else, mothers often neglect taking care of themselves.  Perhaps no other beauty brand but Pond’s, the world’s #1 face care expert, understands this reality.  That’s why last May 16, Pond’s, in cooperation with Watsons, held an event at SM Makati to give all mothers a much-deserved skin treat.
 
Hosted by Rissa Mananquil-Trillo, a Pond’s Mom herself, the event highlighted the Pond’s Anti Age Miracle 3-Step regimen of celebrity Mom and career women, Chesca Garcia-Kramer.
 
A video of Chesca with her family set the empowering and heartwarming tone for the event.  In the video, Chesca candidly discussed motherhood – its joys and challenges – and how she firmly believes that all mothers need to take time to pamper themselves.  She shares that when moms take care of themselves, the more empowered they become to take on their role as a mother.
 
“I am a hands-on Mom and sometimes, I get too busy.  But what I always makes sure of is to give time to take care of myself – especially my skin,” says Chesca.
 
“I had my skin analyzed by the Pond’s Skin Analyzer and it says that the age of my skin is 3 years older than I really am!” reveals Chesca.
 
A breakthrough from the Pond’s Institute, the Pond’s Skin Analyzer allows you to discover the condition of your skin against 5 problems – wrinkles, pores, dark spots, pimples and roughness.  It will determine the real age of your skin versus your actual age. Combine this with the expertise of Pond’s Beauty Advisors, and they can personalize the perfect regimen for you based on your skin analysis results!
 
For an effortless anti-aging routine to start the day, however, Chesca discussed the highlight of the event:  The Ponds Age Miracle 3-Step Regimen.
 
“Together with Ponds, I hand-picked my favorite Ponds products to create a simple system that Moms can incorporate in their busy schedules to achieve the Pond’s promise:  Skin that looks up to 10 years younger.  You don’t really need a lot of makeup to look young.  All you need is a good anti-aging regimen that can keep your skin looker fresher and younger for longer,” the celebrity mother of two explains.
 
“Taking good care of our skin is basic to a beauty routine.  A fresh, dewy, no makeup look all begins with a good anti-aging skincare,” she asserts.
 
The system is simple:  Cleanse. Moisturize. Conceal and Protect.


 
STEP 1: CLEANSE
“At the end of the day, after the taping and work and looking after everything that comes with being a mom, I like to cleanse my skin with Pond’s Age Miracle Cell ReGEN Facial Foam,” Chesca shares.
 
Pond’s Age Miracle Cell ReGEN Facial Foam has the Intelligent Pro-Cell Complex and micro-granules that gently exfoliate the day’s debris away without parching the skin of necessary moisture.  It gives a supple, glowing smoothness minus the squeaky clean feel that’s tight and dry.
 
“This keeps my skin soft and this is what I have really been using for a while now.  I’m happy with it,” beams Chesca.
 
 
 
 
STEP 2: MOISTURIZE
After cleansing, dot Pond’s Age Miracle Day Cream all over your face. Pond’s Age Miracle Day Cream is a powerful moisturizer packed with double anti-agers: the Intelligent ProCell Complex and SPF 15 PA ++ that protects you from the sun’s damaging UV rays.  Make sure to apply the day cream on the neck as well – a critical area that is one of the first body parts to show visible signs of skin aging,
 
It’s important to remember that the application of this moisturizer can prevent further skin aging.  “How you apply moisturizer really matters. If you apply too much pressure, you are helping gravity along to cause your skin to sag!  You have to spread moisturizer very gently in an upward and outward motion using your ring finger,” Chesca reminds.
 
 
STEP 3:  CONCEAL and PROTECT
After moisturizing, finish off the regimen with Pond’s Age Miracle BB+ Cream.  This covers imperfections with a natural finish in 2 shades:  Light for fair-skinned women and Medium for morena beauties.  It also offers protection with SPF 30 PA ++.   The Pond’s Age Miracle Cream is a cosmetic and an anti-ager at once, so you not only get a refreshed “no-makeup” makeup look, you also are assured that you are protecting your skin from the sun’s UV rays.
 
“I really love this anti-aging BB cream because it gives a dewy look.  Sometimes I just leave it as is or finish of with a cheek tint and that’s it!   But when it’s really hot, I set the cream with some loose powder to keep oily skin at bay.  My skin looks so fresh!” Chesca exclaims.
 
After the 3-step regimen, one can then apply minimal make-up – brow powder to frame the face, a cheek tint for a healthy glow, and a lip liner to for a pop of color. 
 
The result?  A look that is at once, fresh, radiant, and simply effortless.
