There is no doubt Marian Rivera Dantes is one of Philippine showbiz’s most beautiful faces, and being a wife to actor Dingdong Dantes and mom to two beautiful kids have not changed that. If anything, her new roles in life have only made her more beautiful and, in a way, more relatable.
Like many moms in the country, Marian has stayed at home since the pandemic, choosing to take care of her family instead of working on new dramas and movies. She works at home when she can, taking on new endorsements, ambassadorships and even appearing in a virtual stage play.
Marian recently renewed her ambassadorship for the fourth straight year with Beautéderm Home (@beautedermcorporation on Instagram), for which she is the face of the Reverie line of all-natural soy candles, room and linen sprays, and air purifiers.
Reverie is a play on Marian’s maiden name, the name of Beautéderm Corp. President and CEO Rhea Anicoche Tan, and the concept of the brand’s desired effect to its users—“to drift away, dream and relax while basking in the extraordinary, sweet and beaute-ful scents of love of Beautederm Home.” The Reverie line of Beautederm Home includes Into The Woods (Bamboo Scent), Smells Like Candy (Cherry Scent), Time To Bloom (Fresh Rose Scent), Something Minty (Eucalyptus Scent), and Rest & Relaxation (Lavender Scent), as well as two brand-new scents, namely, Matcha to Love and Take Me Away, all created—from formulation to individual packaging—in very close collaboration with Marian.
“Marian and I have developed a very close friendship over the years since she first joined the family as brand ambassador of Beautéderm Home. Our relationship transcends business as we treat each other as sisters. We regularly talk to each other not just about work but about updates in our personal lives, as well,” said Tan.
“We are really like family. Rei [Rhea] has been a very good and supportive friend to me and I value our loving relationship very much. Beautéderm Home has been part of our daily essentials in maintaining a refreshing and relaxing ambience at home that I can really relax in with my husband and my children,” said Marian.
Tan and Marian are currently collaborating in developing exciting new products under the Beautéderm Home line which are expected to be launched within the year as part of the brand’s celebration of its 12th year in the business.
“It’s really a blessing to find true and lasting friendship in this industry, and I will always be happy to call Rei a sister and I am honored to represent Beautéderm Home,” said Marian.
Do jade rollers and gua shas really work?
YOU can find gua shas and jade rollers everywhere—from Amazon to Shopee and Lazada. They cost anywhere from a hundred pesos to thousands. They were a big trend years ago and have come back in the past year as more people got into skin care.
The origin of jade rolling on the face is China, where jade is a treasured stone because of its healing properties. The stone is also believed to bring people luck. The cold touch of the stone can help address inflammation on the face.
Using jade rollers after you’ve applied your skin-care products also helps active ingredients penetrate the skin. For instance, if you are using an essence and then a serum before applying moisturizer, it can help if you use a jade roller in between the steps.
A gua sha is also used by aestheticians for lymphatic massage. The thing is that for de-puffing the face, you’d need to spend at least 30 minutes on it before it actually works. The effect is also temporary.
What is the difference between the two? Jade rollers promote blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness and skin inflammation of skin and relieve facial and jaw tension. Gua shas also do the same thing plus they are believed to—with consistent use—have a lifting and contouring effect.
Here’s the thing though: gua shas and jade rollers can actually work with consistent use (some experts recommend using them twice a day) if they are made of real jade. How do you know if they are genuine or fake jade? Anything that costs P500 and below is likely to be fake. Jade is a semi-precious stone. The price range depends on the quality of the stone used.
