Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach & Marlon Stockinger joins BlueWater Day Spa as new Brand Ambassadors

Beauty and Wellness Sunday, June 24, 2018

BlueWater Day Spa welcomes back Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach into its fold together with international racecar driver Marlon Stockinger as the newest ambassadors of the premier spa and lifestyle brand.

“After so many years, I’m so happy to be back as a member of die BlueWater Day Spa family,” says Pia. Marlon, on the other hand, a first time brand ambassador of the luxury lifestyle center said: It’s great to be part of something that Pia loves, and I myself have grown to appreciate as well.

As two on-the-go professionals, as well as power couple, Pia and Marlon often retreat to BlueWater Day Spa to de-stress and pamper themselves. Pia loves the Deep Tissue Massage and the slew of Body Scrubs offered at BlueWater Day Spa such as the Olive Scrub, Green Tea Scrub, Pomegranate Scrub, the Botanical Rice and Milk Scrub, or the Botanic Milk Scrub (her favorite). “After just a session, your skin feels tighter and baby smooth!” she says.

INTENSE WHITENING

Tired of being in the shade? Get fairer skin all over with Intense Whitening that uses state-of-the-art Swedish whitening products enhanced with Vitamin C. The 1-hour treatment involves cleansing, micro-exfoliation, application of an intensive whitening mask via body wrapping and moisturizing. Expect progressively visible results afterwards.

OLIVE SCRUB

Bring dull skin to life with a refreshing body scrub that moisturizes and helps skin remain soft and smooth while keeping it toned and firmed.

GREEN TEA SCRUB

Get cleansing, gentle exfoliation and super moisturization in one easy treatment. Grean Tea is known to be an antioxidant powerhouse. It is said to help in slowing down the premature aging process, thus leaving your skin youthful. Green Tea is an excellent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent that protects the skin against free radical damage, increases the effectiveness of sunscreen and reduces inflammation caused by sun damage.

POMEGRANATE SCRUB

It's rumored that Eve's forbidden fruit was a pomegranate, not an apple! The pomegranate originally comes from Iran, and its exotic taste is both sweet and sour. It's seed are rich in both vitamins and minerals and are said to contain more antioxidants than green tea and also have healthy levels of folic acid, iron, and potassium. The antioxidants in pomegranate juice are reported to stimulate collagen production when used both topically and consumed internally, which will then combat the ravages of free radicals, which are very much like rust.

BOTANICAL RICE & MILK

Soften your skin with nature's staples - rice and milk. This natural body mask, applied after a relaxing salt and oil body scrub, restores the skin's PH level to make it soft, supple and nourished.

Marlon, on the other hand, schedules a regular Deep Tissue Massage and the Athlete’s Massage after his trips and training. “With the Athlete’s Massage and Deep Tissue Massage. my recovery time becomes much faster and I feel stronger, which is crucial when I’m training,” he says.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

This is a type of massage therapy which uses firm pressure and slow strokes to reach and focus on deeper layers of muscle and fascial (the connective tissue surrounding muscles). Best for chronic (persistent or constantly recurring) pain and aches on a stiffed neck, contacted muscles on the back, muscle tightness on the legs and soreness of the shoulders.

The primary goal of the massage is to reduce pain and discomfort while improving the body's ability to heal itself. It does not only give you a relaxing feeling but also help "lengthen and release muscles" that frequently feel tense and get stuck in uncomfortable holding patterns.

FACIAL TREATMENTS FOR MEN

T- Zone Facial (60 mins)

Diminish skin impurities with this highly purifying treatment especially formulated for those with acne problems. It cleanses, exfoliates deep seated oil and dirt. A special mask tightens pores and reduces sebum production.

Essential Balancing Facial with Mask (60 mins)

Give your skin a treat and luxuriate in the wonders of this specialized facial treatment.

Bio-Collagen Facial (90 mins)

Treat your skin to a luxurious life using collagen-enhanced products. This anti-aging treatment reduces lines and wrinkles, making your skin noticeably more firm and youthful.

Oxygen Infusion Therapy (60 mins)

Oxygen facials are designed to combat visible signs of aging linked to poor conveyance of oxygen from subcutaneous capillaries to the surface of the skin. The benefits is it speeds up cell turnover. It increases the rate at which new cells grow, which in turn helps scar (from acne) heal. The oxygen facial gives an extra dose to your skin cells thus aiding faster cell turnover.

At the launch event held at Marco Polo Ortigas Manila on June 19, Pia and Marlon were joined by Christian Bautista, who serenaded the crowd.

He is joined by new BlueWater Day ambassadors Miss Philippines USA 2017 Nicole Guerrero, Mr. Manhunt Philippines Daniel Azurin, Mr. International 2014 Neil Perez and models Aljoshca Barfuss, Diego Harmuch and Emil Khodaverdi.

Blue Water Day Spa Friday, September 18, 2015

With the busy schedule that we handle everyday, for those who work and for those who stay at home and manage to balance their time taking care of their family and the household chores, it seems hard to find time to get that perfect relaxation moment to ease down the tension and stress. The best and easiest way to do so is pamper yourself once in a while by visiting the perfect spa to get a massage, a facial or anything that will regain a whole new you experience, my recommendation is at Blue Water Day Spa.

Ariella Arida, Miss Universe Third Runner Up 2013, Actor/singer/host Ken Alfonso,

Actress Winwyn Marquez and Singer/Actor Christian Bautista.

We were all serenaded by Christian Bautista who recently released his new album "SOUNDTRACK" which is already hit gold in sales. The soundtrack album also features other artists including Nikki Gil, Karylle, Julie Anne San Jose and Rachelle Ann Go.

During the Q & A portion, Ara, Ken, Wyn and Christian said how wonderful their experience is at Blue Water Day Spa. According to them, since they are working with different schedules, it's really nice to be pampered every now and then so that they can work with more energy and they can feel fresh as well. They've tried different services of Blue Water Day Spa, from facial to massage and more, each service makes you feel rejuvenated all at once and the staff according to Christian are all very accommodating and friendly, Christian added that he's not saying that because he was treated well since he's "aritista" and one of the ambassadors but he witnessed it first hand and even his friends told him so.

Fellow spa enthusiast Ariella Arida, visits Bluewater Day Spa whenever she has the time. She pampers herself with a relaxing and beautifying Collagen Facial Treatment from Bluewater Day Spa to keep her skin looking youthful with that special glow.

Winwyn Marquez, on the other hand, keeps herself physically fit with various exercise regimens. But when it comes to looking her best she visits Bluewater Day Spa for her Photo Therapy Flash (IPL) Treatment a highly advanced yet safe laser technology that removes unwanted hair permanently.

Ken Alfonso maintains his perfect abs through Blue Water Day Spa's Revitafirm and Revitashape Treatments. Using the technology of heat through the RF machine, this treatment tones your body and melts away excess cellulite.

They finally introduced their newest service. Detox and regain your energy through the Therapeutic Colonic Massage, the newest and most effective detox management treatment by Blue Water Day Spa

Combining medical science with Blue Water Day Spa hospitality and relaxation, the Therapeutic Colonic Massage helps gently remove excess toxins from your body, starting with those that have accumulated in your digestive system.The treatment concentrates on the core (abdominal area), loosening the hardened blockages in your system through massage. The body then naturally expels these wastes through normal body function.

Watch the Demo here:

Enjoy the full-hour treatment, made more relaxing with the use of chamomile oil, in the calming ambience of the Blue Water Day Spa suites. Though the massage on the abdomen itself takes approximately 20 mins, you will enjoy lasting results.

In as little as one session, find relief from common digestive problems such as constipation, bloating, gas, and abdominal pains and cramps. The gentle boost on your digestive tract realigns organs and also helps your body cope better with hard-to-digest food. Regular, weekly treatments offer long-term benefits that include improved sleep, more defined abdominal muscle tone, and restored energy.

As you detox, the treatment also primes the body to respond better to diet and exercise, helping you lose weight faster and safely. Say goodbye to stubborn love handles, as you welcome a shapelier and more defined figure.

Body Tune Introduces Ultra Lift: Be Young Inside & Out!

Beauty and Wellness Saturday, May 30, 2015

Just recently, I experienced one of the best massage ever together with fellow Bloggers at Body Tune Megamall Branch. Body Tune has serving customers at Megamall for years now and I can still remember back when I was still in college, whenever I got the chance to pass by at this branch, I always tell myself that someday, I'll get to experience being pampered here. At that time, I felt like the prices were a bit high since I was a student, now I know that with the kind of superb service they give, the prices were truly reasonable and affordable compared to others.

Body Tune offers a lot of services if you want to get pampered. From Massage to Body Treatments, Waxing, Facial Treatments, Hand and Foot Care,Slimming services and lastly they also sell body products. Aside from these services, they also have medical and dermatological treatments and injectables for whitening treatments.

I tried their Dead Sea Salt Body Scrub and since it was my first time to try that service, I can say that it was beyond my expectation. Based from he reviews I usually read, Dead Sea salt is the best body scrub since it takes off the dead skin cells of our skin making way for new ones which leaves our skin free from toxins. What I love about the procedure is that she put honey on my skin afterwards. The result was truly remarkable, it made my skin really soft.

Aside from the services I mentioned above, Body Tune introduced us their newest service.

This is the Ultra Lift. Ultra Lift, through HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a medical procedure that applies high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to locally heat for a lifting result on the skin.

HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) - uses the same technology as Ultherapy but at a fraction of the price. It is considered the Gold Standard technology for skin tightening.

Ultra Lift is a new type of non-surgical, non-invasive procedure similar to Ulthera Therapy which uses focused ultrasound and the face's own natural healing process to lift, tone, and tighten loose skin on the brow, neck, under the chin, and even the decolletage

(upper chest area).

With Ultra Lift you will avoid the uncomfortable feeling of the downtime or foreign substances; just a healthy reviving-up on the inside for a natural skin lifting and noticeable skin tightening effect on the outside.

THE BENEFITS OF ULTRA LIFT

-Reducing fine to deep wrinkles -Under eye troughs, bags and dark circles -Skin lifting

-Tighter, better-fitting skin, including your neck -Its the lift without the surgery

HOW DOES THE ULTRA LIFT WORKS?

Before After - Ultra Lift:

Unlike lasers, which penetrate the skin from the outside-in, the Ultra Lift procedure by-passes the surface of the skin, and delivers targeted energy specifically into the deep, structural tissues and muscles where collagen lives. By stimulating the deep structural support layers of the skin, a natural, regenerative response is initiated, stimulating the growth of new collagen, which lifts and tightens the skin over time. Because ultrasound technology actually works non-invasivery from the inside-out, results build gradually over 2-3 months, and can continue to improve up to 6 months after the procedure. An anaesthetic cream is applied to the areas to be treated if needed.

POST TREATMENT CARE

As mentioned with Ultra Lift, there is no downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately after your procedure without any post-treatment restrictions or requirements. Your skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours. Some patients experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.

WHAT TO EXPECT OF ULTRA LIFT THERAPY

There may be slight redness for up to an hour or so following the treatment, and a small percentage of patients may have slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature and after, your skin will be firm and tighten. Patients treated with Ultra Lift still have fresh young collagen after a year's time following the procedure, but skin continues to age. Future touch-up treatments can help keep pace with the aging process, which varies by individual.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

The HIFU System is contraindicated for use in patients with:

- open facial wounds or lesions

-acne on the face or neck

-metal stents/implants in the face or neck

-implantable electrical devices

Based from experience,it did worked even on my first session. The lines on my neck disappeared like magic! The procedure is nice as well. You will not feel anything at all since it is a laser procedure, it goes straight to the layer of your skin where it will focus. There's a cold gel that will be lathered on your skin before it proceeds. For introductory price, for 2 months they will be offering it half the price since Ultra Lift is offered for Php5,000.

This procedure is not only for Mommies or for those who have reached their golden years and feels like they want to erase those signs of aging. Like me, even though I am not yet a Mom, I also undergo stages that I also want to look good and with Ultra Lift, since I am on the chubby stage, Ultra Lift will help me with the lines under my neck to make it more firm.

So, don't hesitate to try this one even if you're just on your 20's because if you feel like there's something that you want to achieve on your appearance and you want fast results, this is perfect for you too!
