ICYMI: The Big Beauty Bash took flight last November 29 and passengers onboard The Beauty Edit Airlines were treated to a first-class beauty experience like no other. If you missed the flight, don’t fret. We’re giving you access to our packed itinerary—featuring the must-see stops in skincare and makeup.
The Destination: Pili Ani
Your first stop: Pili Ani, a journey into the unique benefits of two locally sourced oils that are winning hearts here and abroad. Inspired by the rich agriculture of the Philippines, this F-Beauty brand harnesses the potent anti-aging powers of elemi and pili oils, prized ingredients sourced directly from Bicol’s agricultural communities. In just a few short years, Pili Ani has made a global landing, celebrated—especially by clean beauty enthusiasts—for the rejuvenating, reinvigorating, and revitalizing effects of their nature-powered offerings.
First-Class Beauty
Self-care Night Recovery Oil – Antioxidant Rich Facial Oil
This evening oil is perfect for sensitive skin, featuring the highest concentration of hydrating Pili oil to brighten dull, tired skin and repair damage. It’s lightweight and soothing yet potent enough to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and fine lines. The result? Wake up to dewy, youthful skin, refreshed with a hydration boost from its nourishing ingredients.
Insider Tip: For easy application, massage the night oil with your hands. For enhanced results, use it with a gua sha to improve absorption and enjoy added benefits like lifting, depuffing, and sculpting.

Natural Radiance Facial Moisturizer Cream
This moisturizing cream not only features their signature hero ingredients but is also supercharged with Centella Asiatica, also known as CICA, offering fast-acting, skin-brightening benefits alongside intense hydration and nourishment. Plus, the papaya extract works double-duty to exfoliate dead skin, leaving your complexion smoother and healthier.
Insider Tip: Incorporate this into your routine right after your facial oil (if you use one). Simply apply it to your face, neck, and décolleté for glowing skin in just a few weeks.
Deep Detox Volcanic Exfoliating Mask
Harvested from the country’s most active volcano, Mt. Mayon, the mineral-rich ashes of this exfoliating mask were created for those with oily and acne-prone skin. Since it’s mixed with Kaolin Clay, the mask draws out toxins from your skin and exfoliates dead skin cells—rejuvenating dull skin almost instantly. Meanwhile, the bamboo charcoal cleanses deep-seated sebum to target unseen impurities. Once the cleanse is over, Pili and Elemi come in to hydrate and soothe your skin. Did we also mention that this is Bretman Rock’s favorite product? Well, now you know!
Insider Tip: Formulated with concentrated ingredients, this exfoliating mask is best used periodically. Apply it to your face (avoiding eyes and lips), leave on for 3 to 5 minutes, and expect a slight tingling sensation. Once time’s up, rinse gently with lukewarm water.
The Destination: BELOTERO Revive
Vanguard Aesthetics is the go-to partner for cutting-edge medical aesthetics devices across Southeast Asia. Best known for delivering innovative, safe, and high-quality aesthetic products, it brings the latest beauty technologies directly to clinics all over the Philippines. As a trusted distributor, Vanguard partners with some of the most reputable brands in skincare and aesthetics, including BELOTERO Revive, to take you on a journey toward luminous and refreshed skin.
First-Class Beauty
BELOTERO Revive is your ticket to radiant skin. It’s a skin booster uniquely formulated with hyaluronic acid and glycerol, delivering deep hydration and improving skin texture. Unlike most injectables that primarily add volume, BELOTERO Revive is designed to enhance skin health by improving firmness and elasticity, filling in fine lines, and revitalizing photo-damaged skin.
Insider Tip: To get the most out of BELOTERO Revive, it’s best to consult with a qualified aesthetic professional. The procedure typically involves multiple injections across various layers of the skin, usually done over one to three sessions spaced about four weeks apart. Immediately after the treatment, you’ll notice visible results, with smoother texture and increased hydration continuing to improve over time.
