White perfection

PENNY LANE - PENNY LANE By Rebecca C. Rodriguez -
It’s Oscar season once again. If you are wondering how celebrities get their glowing skin, which grabs the limelight, well, they definitely know how to pick a range of skin brighteners.

A photo-friendly, porcelain complexion can now be achieved with a comprehensive skin-brightening line. Just like Clinique’s Derma White. The great thing about this line is that it is made specifically for Asian skin.

The thing is, Asian women are more prone to dark spots and hyperpigmentation due to an excess of melanin production. Other factors like UVA and UVB exposure, environmental aggressors, hormonal changes can even worsen the skin condition, making this a major beauty concern in the summer months.

"Clinique’s Derma White range directly addresses skin discolorations with a custom-fit approach to daily care, treatment, prevention and makeup," says Jamila Reyes, brand manager of Clinique. "Derma White products are formulated with innovative textures, ingredients and cutting-edge technology."

With the success of Derma White, Clinique decided to add new products to the line to hide dark spots and skin imperfections and seek a perfect, uniform and radiant complexion.

So, here are the products that will highlight and brighten the look of skin.
Exfoliate Gently
Product: Derma White Micro-Motion C Serum

Function: A highly concentrated, lightweight gel-serum designed to visibly reduce and help the appearance of dark spots. This tiny antioxidant exfoliator acts as a potent weapon to target dark spots directly because of its tri-ball massage roller dispenser. When it releases skin brighteners, this product helps in exfoliating dead skin cells from the skin’s surface for a smoother, radiant look.

How to use: After cleansing the skin, apply twice daily with massage applicator directly to dark spots. Follow with Derma White essence or moisturizer.
Flaws Away
Product: Derma White Fluid-Cream Makeup SPF 15 PA++

Function: A new foundation with a luxurious, weightless whipped-cream texture is specifically designed to keep the skin moisturized and nourished. It helps the skin look natural, flawless and even-toned without streaking. The great thing about this product is that it is not only oil-free but also water-, sweat- and high-humidity-resistant for the perfect gym makeup.

How to use: Available in eight shades to match the subtle hues of Asian skin. Apply to skin with fingertips after Derma White daily skincare regimen and makeup primer.
Spots Out
Product: Derma White Spot Concentrate Concealer SPF 21 PA++

Function: A magic stick concealer and spot treatment in one, which has smooth, lightweight and non-greasy texture that easily glides on the skin. This concealer provides buildable coverage to even out the skin tone and is perfect for warm environments because of its long-wearing formula.

How to use: Available in Light, Medium and White (to highlight and brighten dull, tired skin) shades. Apply after Derma White skincare regimen and makeup primer to conceal dark spots and skin imperfections.

Clinique’s Derma White line can be used for all skin types and is non-acnegenic, dermatologist- and allergy-tested, 100-percent fragrance-free. Reyes concludes, "Derma White brings together form and function, which is the hallmark of Clinique’s heritage."

Within six to eight weeks, you will see your skin in a whole new light — white perfect, that is.
