Grooming Tips to look Dashing during the Holidays

Now that you can finally enjoy Christmas get-together with family and friends, you want to make sure you look fresh and well-groomed. If the series of lockdowns made you skip your usual grooming routine, now is the time to get back on track. Remember, those party photos and selfies get posted on social media so it pays to look your best all the time.     

Here are some tips to help you look good for face-to-face get-togethers and even during online parties with family and friends 

Have a blemish-free skin. If you’ve got an active lifestyle, you may be more prone to breakouts and blemishes since you're more exposed to sweat and bacteria. Blackwater BB Cream is a grooming must-have for men as it effectively minimizes the appearance of dark spots, pimple marks, dark circles, and uneven skin tone. This is available in two shades (Tan and Beige), and offers a lightweight matte finish to get rid of that oily shine on your face so you can get your game face on for the holidays.

Protect your lips from drying. The skin of the lips is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the body which is why everyone should pay attention to lip care -- yes, men included. Keep your lips healthy-looking without shine and fragrance with Blackwater Lip Balm. It deeply moisturizes, and smoothens the appearance of dry, chapped lips. Plus, it has SPF 20 to help protect the lips from other damaging effects of the sun.

Smell matters. With parties after parties happening soon, it is important to smell great, longer. Blackwater Deo Spray for Men has a set of four citrus-woody scents that can protect you from odor-causing germs. Whether you want subtle hints of citrus or woody aroma, Blackwater Deo Spray for Men has got you covered. Choose from its four variants namely Dark Rebel, Dark Pleasure, Smooth Chaos and High Spirits for a refreshing scent.

Take good care of your skin. You want to be glowing for the holiday parties, so you must take care of your skin. Create a good skincare routine with the Blackwater Korean Skincare Set. It is designed and formulated for men and offers a complete routine that’s easy and convenient enough for men to follow. The set includes Blackwater Charcoal Foam made with charcoal, bamboo, green tea, and cucumber extracts, helps you get rid of dirt that causes acne and has hydrating properties that help soften the skin and keep it elastic. After cleansing, apply Blackwater Energizing Moisturizer to make your skin feel pampered and nourished while also protecting your skin cells from harmful UV rays. Lastly, refresh and smoothen your skin with a weekly mask session. Score a glowing complexion with Blackwater Charcoal Sheet Mask.

So, are you ready for the holiday parties? Look at your best with these grooming tips and products from Blackwater. Blackwater products are available in all leading supermarkets nationwide, at Lazada (www.lazada.com.ph) and Shopee (www.shopee.ph).

Ever Bilena - 3-step Korean Grooming and Pampering Regimen for Men

Who doesn’t want to look like one of your K-pop idols? Achieving the Korean idol look (read: really bright, flawless skin) may seem next to impossible, but with a good grooming and pampering routine, you’ll be able to create a clean canvas that is your skin.

Blackwater presents the following steps to male grooming and pampering using its Korean Skincare Set to help you create a Korean skincare routine that is simple, quick, and easy to maintain.  

Step 1: Deeply cleanse your skin

A noticeable feature among Korean idols is their oil-free skin. The key here is to deeply cleanse your face without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. The Charcoal Facial Foam does just that with key ingredients like bamboo and cucumber extracts to remove deep-seated dirt and control oil production on your face, while keeping it hydrated and energized. After a good cleansing, your skin feels refreshed and reinvigorated!

Step 2: Moisturize your way to bright skin

Moisturizing the facial skin helps lock in moisture and create a preventive barrier to protect your skin against harsh impurities. The SPF-based Energizing Moisturizer shields your face against UV rays, while keeping pore appearance improved and the skin brighter and more rejuvenated with its chestnut and Hinoki cypress leaf extracts. It’s lightweight, too, which means you won’t feel the heaviness of walking around with anything extra on your face.   

Step 3: Pamper for extra supple complexion

Sheet masks are that one key ingredient that separates a Korean-looking skin from the rest. Use the Charcoal Sheet Mask to finish off your skincare routine to benefit from its charcoal and witch hazel ingredients that soothe and hydrate to extra moisturize the skin, leaving it softer and more supple. It’s a quick fix, too, for when you need to look instantly radiant for any occasion.

Get on the Korean skincare bandwagon now by including the Blackwater Korean Skincare Set among your must-haves. Available in leading supermarkets nationwide,atLazada (www.lazada.com.ph) and Shopee (www.shopee.ph). Follow @blackwaterphofficial on Facebook or @blackwater.ph on Instagram to know more.

It’s Now Blackwater Bossing with a New Logo

Elites are out, the Bossings are in!

Blackwater, Ever Bilena Cosmetics’ personal grooming line, is rebranding its Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) team with a new moniker and logo. Previously known as Blackwater Elite, the team will now be referred to as Blackwater Bossing by the next PBA campaign.
Dioceldo Sy, franchise owner of Blackwater Bossing and president and CEO of Ever Bilena Cosmetics Inc., revealed back in August that they made the decision to change the team's name to make it more appealing to the masses.
"Elite is a term that is not common for the ordinary masses, while Bossing is something that is more understandable and relatable since Filipinos use it in their day to day lives," he said.
With the change in name, Blackwater Bossing also adapted a new logo which was selected from a nationwide competition and will be effective next season.
Blackwater wanted to help local graphic artists amid the current pandemic by hosting the competition wherein the chosen winner will be given Php 10,000 cash and Blackwater products worth Php 10,000.
After receiving hundreds of entries, Blackwater chose the creation of Ren Corporal which featured the team’s name, a basketball, and the brand’s recognizable perfume bottle. The logo will be used in the team's jerseys and other promotional materials.
