In this edition of The Editor’s Room featuring Pili Ani, fellow skincare and wellness enthusiasts were gathered together for an exclusive, immersive experience showcasing the powerful combination of elemi and pili oil—the two hero ingredients in the brand’s extensive skincare range. The intimate get-together took place at Face Sculpt in Shangri-La at the Fort to further immerse the guests into the natural wonders of this renowned Filipino beauty and skincare brand.
The exclusive treatment started with a special massage courtesy of Face Sculpt using the rich and potent essentials from Pili Ani’s skincare line. The experience started with the Pili Ani Cleansing Butter, applied gently on the skin, and was effective enough to melt away any traces of makeup and surface impurities. Just like any double cleansing routine, it was then followed up by the Gentle Facial Cleanser, featuring a gel-like texture that provides a hydrating and moisturizing finish. Think of it as an introduction to the regimen you’d have if you included it in your daily routine.
After the cleansers, the treatment moved on to the star of the event: Pili Ani’s Self-Care Night Recovery Oil, elevated by Face Sculpt’s facial massage. It was a powerful combination since the evening oil is known for its hydrating properties and soothing botanicals, while the massage is aimed at reducing water retention in certain areas of the face. The result? Everyone looked depuffed, lifted, and glowing—without a trace of makeup—right after their session.
With the exclusive massage taking place first, it was quite effortless to talk about Pili Ani in our casual sit-down with the guests. We began with the founding story behind Pili Ani, the brand’s hero ingredients, and how the session highlighted the benefits of their Self-Care Recovery Night Oil. The relaxing atmosphere from the massage seamlessly carried over into the conversation as guests shared their experiences and how they were pleasantly surprised by the results. We even went further to show the difference with a before-and-after photo activity, allowing guests to better visualize the aftereffects of the session.
The event turned into a day of indulgence for both guests and editors since they were given the time to unwind with Pili Ani and Face Sculpt—a blissful retreat for those immersed in the health and wellness scene. Beyond relaxation, it became a celebration of the exceptional growth of the local beauty and skincare brand, deepening our appreciation towards Pili Ani and their effort to promote natural resources from our homeland in a global landscape.
