French dry oil still a must-have in your skincare arsenal
It might surprise most people to know that the “clean beauty” philosophy began way before the term even made it to the glossies and Tiktok beauty brigade. Aliza Jabès, described as a “very young entrepreneur with a passion for beauty,” experimented on a product three decades ago alongside “researchers in a small formulation laboratory in Paris.” The very first NUXE care product, Huile Prodigieuse, was born. Today, this “ultra-sensorial” dry oil remains a must-have in beauty arsenals worldwide as it delivers effective skincare that is kind to the planet with the “consume less but better” approach. What’s even more amazing about it is that people continue to find a use for it in other ways than just a dry oil you rub on your skin to make it supple and smooth. With its “precious botanical oils, all 100 percent made in France,” the oil today is favored by some makeup enthusiasts for helping deliver “glowy” looks – a huge trend in beauty. At a recent event held in Rustan’s Makati’s revamped beauty floor, Nuxe unveiled its newest variant – a unisex dry oil called Huile Prodigieuse® Néroli, “the first certified organic dry oil.” The newest variant carries notes of Neroli, Bergamot and Lavandin, which gives its users a “spa-like” relaxed feel. While this oil works just as well as the original variant, the Or or gold-flecked oil, and the Florale, with its delicate scent, the Neroli contains organic Ente Plum Oil and organic Sesame Oil which gives a subtle sheen on the skin and hair without an oily finish. Don’t be afraid of the word “oil,” though. “Dry” refers to “how the oil sinks into the skin, not the oil itself,” explains Leigh Winters, neuroscientist and psychologist, in an online article about dry oil and its benefits. Nuxe shares these tips to maximize the dry oils. Remember, a little goes a long way! 1. On your face, apply on its own, or mix a few drops in the palm of your hand with your NUXE moisturizer. Spread using smoothing strokes, working from the center of the face towards the outer contours. 2. Men can use it to care for their beard and leave it feeling soft and silky. They can also apply it before shaving (before a foam or gel) to create a protective film to reduce any irritation from shaving. 3. On your body, apply using circular movements on the chest, legs, etc., paying particular attention to very dry areas of the skin and/or stretch marks. 4. On your hair, apply to the lengths and ends as often as required. For an intense conditioning effect, you can also apply it as a hair mask, once or twice a week. Before shampooing, apply all over your hair and leave for 10 minutes. Here are other ways to use the dry oils: 1. Mix a little amount of the classic variant with your foundation, blend together with a brush and apply on skin for a dewy look. 2. Mix a small amount of the golden variant with your skin lotion for some shimmer on your skin, or apply some of the dry oil on key areas like clavicle and shoulder, arms and legs for amped-up glow. When used regularly on skin and hair, Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse nourishes, soothes and makes them look healthy and glowing. In a study, the new Néroli is said to have reduced the color of stretch marks by 68 percent and deliver protection from pollution. The Neroli oil is also perfect for at-home spa evenings as it soothes the senses in a massage that also gives the skin a boost. Huile Prodigieuse® Néroli comes in Multi-Purpose Dry Oil and soon in Le parfum and Relaxing Scented Shower Gel formats. NUXE is exclusively distributed by Rustan Marketing Corporation.

Zambales gov eyes intensified dredging
Iba, Zambales — The provincial government on Tuesday has ordered the intensifying of dredging activities in the province as the heavily-silted river caused the recent flooding in coastal communities. In a meeting on Monday, Governor Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. cited the need to restore the capacity of water tributaries in Zambales to carry excess floodwater into the sea as he assessed the damages caused by the recent typhoons. He added that the floods have affected a total of 26,799 residents and caused damages worth P545.1 million in infrastructure and P24.3 million in agriculture. “Flooding was also observed to be worse in barangays near river mouths because sediments get deposited there naturally when the current slows down at the point where the river meets the sea,” said Ebdane. The official added that most flooding occurred in barangays when tributary rivers emanating from the Mt. Pinatubo area and bringing lahar sand overflowed or punched holes into dikes and protective embankments. “Thus, it is crucial that these areas which are natural catch-basins for sediments should be dredged immediately as more rains are expected, so that we can create bigger drainage areas that will convey river water to the sea more efficiently,” said the Zambales governor. In San Marcelino town which was placed under state of calamity after most barangays suffered heavy damages, the swollen river caused the breach and collapse of embankments protecting Barangay Sta. Fe, thus destroying various public infrastructure worth P515 million. The Zambales Provincial Disaster Risk-Reduction and Management Council reported that 8,421 families comprised of 26,799 individuals were adversely affected by the torrential rains last week. Most of these came from San Antonio town, with a total of 6,749 affected families and 20,602 affected individuals. In San Antonio’s village of San Miguel, which is located where the Pamatawan River empties into the sea, 42 families comprised of 357 persons had to evacuate to safety on 28 July, as floodwaters rose to waist-deep and chest-deep in some areas, the PDRRMC said. Residents said it was the first time they experienced serious flooding there. They said that strong current damaged the river embankment about a hundred meters from the river mouth, thus creating a gap where the swollen Pamatawan River spilled into the barangay. Incidentally, opposition by San Miguel residents to the government’s proposal to dredge Pamatawan for fear that the project would harm local fishing, prompted Ebdane to suspend dredging activities there. Still, residents elsewhere affirmed that heavily silted waterways perennially brought floods in their area. Ebdane said the river dredging program has been endorsed by local government units and national government agencies that consulted in 2014 to formulate solutions following flooding and landslides in the province during typhoon “Odette” in September 2013.
