People today are willing to push their limits todefy aging—even if it means taking risks with needle injections. This is what happens with Botox. Although widely popular for wrinkle reduction, Botox has its drawbacks too. It reduces fine lines by invading nerve cells to temporarily paralyze the muscles. When done wrong, Botox can be damaging andyou could suffer from facial freeze. Looking young does not have to be risky and painful. So, a team of scientists led by pharmacist and chemist Dr. Claus Breuer developed a supreme natural skin gel that can make the skin young again with no risks and side effects. This is when Biotulin was born. Dubbed as 'Organic Botox,' Biotulin gives the same result as Botox but with a simpler and safer procedure.

Last November 20, 2018 – Christmas is a festive celebration for Filipinos because it is a time to reconnect with the people that matter the most. And of course, what are celebrations without spending on traditional gifts? But do we always have to spend much on gifts to make it valuable? Pia Wurtzbach and Downy redefines gift-giving this Christmas with a simple yet meaningful gift idea — a hug. Most people underestimate the power of a hug.
