It’s not everyday do I post a photo of myself here at Beauty Bento Box. I just thought that with all the product photos I’ve taken and featured here, it’s becoming less and less personal. So, putting a bit of flesh onto the blog, I’m taking a quick peek from behind my laptop and show myself.

That’s me taking a break from asking a few questions to Dr. Roberto Antonio Pascual, Medical Affairs Consultant for Stiefel Philippines, during the event which launched the RevaléSkin™ skincare system here in Manila, just to pose for Sophie.

I’ve learned that with the product’s launch, a study (quite similar to the clinical trials conducted by David H. McDaniel, MD and Zoe Diana Draelos, MD) are in the works but this time subjects are Asians, particularly Filipinos. Though the main difference between Caucasian and Asian skins is just the pigmentation, I believe it to be better to have scientific proof of effectiveness and viability.

From personal experience, I’ve been particular about skincare products. It’s great to know whether it will be safe and effective prior use than to just go blindly into the whole process only to find yourself disappointed in the end. It would’ve been a complete waste of time and money, right? What’s even scarier is if your skin will turn out to be worse than when you originally started. That would be catastrophic.

Meanwhile, I’ll be doing my own RevaléSkin™ trial-at-home very soon. I’m planning to document, online and offline, all my observations however un-scientific they may be. You can expect a few posts on skincare and RevaléSkin™ in the coming weeks.

Have you guys heard of RevaléSkin and the amazing CoffeeBerry®? If you have and have been dying to know more about the product and what CoffeeBerry® can really do, I’m currently working on a post that I’m hoping to help us understand this ingredient better. I told you guys about the Stiefel event I was going to, right? We talked skincare and I certainly learned a lot. I’m encouraging you guys to ask that question so I can do my best to answer them.

AND guess what? I got myself a beauty loot from RevaléSkin. Three guesses on what’s inside.

You can expect that a First Impressions and an Eastern Experiments posts are in the works. Stay tuned!

I have to admit I’m a little bit intrigued about what they’ve got to say. It’s the first time I’ve ever encountered the term, “Organiceutical”, which I know isn’t really a word you can look up in a dictionary. Heh. Asians are indeed known for their unique beauty regimens, I mean, the rest of the world look upon their beauty secrets, all hoping to get an idea on how they’ve managed to have great skin. Is it all because of superstitious, traditional or ancient skincare practices or pure luck? Perhaps it’s the environment? Genes, maybe?

This luncheon will happen on the 2nd of April. It’ll be a bit of a wait esp with the Holy Week coming and all. I just thought you guys ought to know what to expect and perhaps you can throw in questions you wish to know so I can prepare in advance, hopefully, answer each and every question. Feel free to leave them in the comment area below.
