Treat Your Loved Ones to a Feast for the Skin with Shopee Beauty’s Luxury Beauty Gift Guide

SHOPEE Beauty Gift Guide

MANILA, NOVEMBER 29, 2021 - Gift shopping for the skincare enthusiast can get tricky. After all, skincare is very personal. Beauty regimens aren’t one size fits all, and each routine is unique and tailor-fit to one’s skin type. 


So what do you get your skincare-savvy loved ones this Christmas? To make gift shopping easier, narrow it down to your recipient’s skin concerns. Are they determined to keep wrinkles at bay? Or are they perhaps dealing with pesky acne? 


Treat them to products they’ll love incorporating to their daily skincare routines—and since it’s Christmas, get them decadent, splurge-worthy products they wouldn’t otherwise buy for themselves! Check out Shopee Beauty’s Luxury Beauty Gift Guide for every skin type. Get discounts up to 70% off on your purchases and enjoy free shipping with a minimum spend of ₱499.



For tired skin that needs a brightening boost, get products containing ingredients such as niacinamide and Vitamin C. The Cetaphil Brightening Set’s clinically proven formula gently works to restore an even, luminous complexion. To  target dullness and uneven skin tone, get the Skin Inc Holiday Spirit Set, which includes an exfoliating peel and serum. Lastly, Nuwhite Whitening Vitamin C combines vitamin C, zinc, and collagen to brighten the skin, while also boosting the immune system.



These tried-and-tested anti-aging products are formulated with hydrating ingredients that’ll keep your loved ones looking fresh and young! L'Oreal Paris Hyaluronic Acid Cream is made with hyaluronic acid to deeply penetrate the skin and offer long-lasting hydration. If they want plump, firm skin and visibly reduced fine lines and wrinkles, go for Olay Regenerist Moisturizer. Add in The History Of Whoo Anti-Aging Essence as well, which will soothe and repair dry skin with its rich yet non-greasy formula. 



For those who struggle with occasional unwanted breakouts, acne treatments would make great stocking stuffers. Without stripping the skin of moisture, Kiehl's Face Wash lifts away impurities, dirt, and oil which can clog pores. Kiehl's Dark Spot Solution attacks deep-set spots while also promoting blood circulation. Another great option is the Clinique Dark Spot Corrector, which contains salicylic acid to gently exfoliate the skin and antioxidants to combat discoloration. 



Now that chilly days are here, it’s important to keep the skin moisturized. The limited-edition Laneige Moisture Essence Set’s lightweight formula will keep the skin fresh and hydrated throughout the day. For damaged complexions, innisfree Probiotics Cream, formulated with fermented probiotics, can help replenish the skin’s moisture barrier. Or get the NUXE Moisturising Cream, made with plant milk and seaweed extract for long-lasting hydration up to 48 hours.

GCash and PNP nab "Love Romance" Scammer

Love Romance

GCash, the country’s no.1 mobile wallet app, together with the Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit Cordillera of the Philippine National Police-Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG), has uncovered and arrested the individual behind a Love Romance scam. Suspect Racel Guno allegedly swindled money from multiple chats using a fake Facebook profile named “Carter Gudson Gudson”. The latest victim was said to have transferred P84,927 to Guno’s account. After the transfer, the victim was blocked on Guno’s fake Facebook and Messenger accounts.  

By working together closely, GCash and the RACU COR implemented the Warrant of Arrest issued by Hon. Isagani G. Calderon, presiding judge of RTC First Judicial Region, Branch 8, La Trinidad Benguet issued on February 4, 2021 that resulted in the successful arrest of Guno in her condominium in Parañaque City. 


Following this incident, GCash reminds its users that they can better protect their GCash accounts by following these tips:


Check authenticity of messages from SMS, emails, and other social network sites. Online scammers have been rampant recently. Their usual scheme is using phishing links to victimize bank account holders through emails and even social networking sites. Be wary of these links especially if they come from suspicious sources. Legitimate messages only come from an official GCash site (https://www.gcash.com/), and verified Facebook and Instagram pages (https://www.facebook.com/gcashofficial, https://www.instagram.com/gcashofficial/). Always remember that GCash will never ask for your MPIN, One-Time Password (OTP), and the CVV on your credit card.

 

Never share your MPIN and OTP. The MPIN may be used to access your account. While scammers can get very creative in trying to get this data from you, their end goal will always be the same: getting your MPIN, OTP, or CVV — three most important data that you should only keep to yourself at all times. So this should immediately be your sign to stop the transaction and report the scammer via the GCash User Complaint Form (https://help.gcash.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034636613-GCash-User-Complaint-Form). Another option is to text 2882 from your Globe number to get the assistance you need.


Know how the Customer Protect Program works. GCash has added the Customer Protect Program to their product, which is designed to help detect and prevent fraudulent activities. Qualified users are eligible for compensation for unauthorized transactions in case of identity theft and/or loss of mobile phone. The amount of compensation depends on the validation level of users. Fully verified users may be compensated for up to Php100,000. 


Cashless transactions are now an integral part of our daily living. That’s why scammers have become extremely creative in victimizing frequent users of the e-wallet app. By knowing these tips from GCash, you can be more aware of their schemes, and consequently better protect your account from fraudsters and continue to use the mobile wallet for various convenient services from buying essentials to paying for utilities.
