3 Long-Time Filipino Beauty Myths that Haunted Us Growing Up
As you might already know, the Belo Shop is open and ready to solve your skincare needs! But with the bevy of products available, how do you know which products are right for you? Here are our top suggestions based on your skin issues (but it would be best to clear with your Belo doctor first!):
Skin that is too oily can clog pores and eventually lead to breakouts. This condition may be caused by stress (quarantine-induced anxiety, anyone?), changes in humidity, genetics, and fluctuating hormones. The secret to maintaining healthy skin is by preserving its natural moisture while leaving out excess oil.
We recommend: ZO Oil Control Pads

As you age, your skin becomes drier and thinner due to excessive loss of water or oil underneath the surface. Avoid harsh soaps, because this strips down natural oils that are vital for skin protection.
We recommend: ZO Hydrating Cleanser
Get the ZO Hydrating Cleanser at the Belo Shop.
This is brought about by a bunch of factors: genetics, excess pigmentation, dilated blood vessels, and lack of sleep. Studies show that many of us have had trouble sleeping due to coronavirus anxiety, so this is a particularly relevant concern RN!
We recommend: FillMed HXR Eye Cream
Get the FillMed HXR Eye Cream at the Belo Shop.
Us Filipinos are prone to getting dark spots and patches due to several factors that increase excess melanin production, especially sun exposure! And just because you’re indoors doesn’t mean harsh UVA and UVB rays can’t penetrate your skin (Dr. Belo says so herself!)
We recommend: ZO Retinol Skin Brightener
Get the ZO Retinol Skin Brightener at the Belo Shop.
Large pores develop when there is excessive oil build up underneath the skin, which causes the pores to stretch out. Apart from this, aging and genetics also play a role in the size of your pores.
We recommend: Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer
Get the Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer at the Belo Shop.
One thing that we cannot stop, unfortunately, is the natural process of aging. Wrinkles, age spots, and dryness become apparent as a person grows older. It’s not something to be afraid of—we’re here to make sure you age as gracefully and beautifully as possible!
We recommend: ZO Wrinkle + Texture Repair
Get the ZO Wrinkle + Texture Repair at the Belo Shop.
The appearance of fine lines and skin laxity are part of the skin’s aging process. This can happen faster with repeated and prolonged sun exposure. Stay out of the sun as much as possible, but ensure that you use sun protection as an additional barrier!
We recommend: ZO Daily Power Defense
Get the ZO Daily Power Defense at the Belo Shop.
Irritation caused by repeated shaving or plucking stimulates excess melanocyte production, which can result in darkened armpits (and a lack of confidence to raise your arms, sadly).
We recommend: Belo Illuminating Cream
An ultra-rich body cream that whitens skin and fades blemishes. This product decreases the formation of melanin in the body, which is responsible for the darkening of skin to reveal a brighter, younger-looking skin.

It’s normal to shed between 50 and 100 hairs a day. When the body sheds significantly more hairs every day, a person has excessive hair shedding. Most people notice the excessive hair shedding a few months after a difficult period (like a heavy WFH load, having to endure COVID-related stress, or hearing about the sickness of a loved one).
We recommend: Pelo Baum Hair Treatment Complex (Shampoo, Conditioner, Revitalizing Solution)
