Balesin Island Club Picture time comes and it’s all smiles but one reaction is common: we all freak out when the camera has flash! I wonder why? It is cos of oil or uneven skin tone? One thing’s for sure: having great skin is essential if you want to be more confident and get closer. NIVEA shows us how! (And it had to be on this beautiful island.) NIVEA Welcome Dinner To wrap up Day 1, we gathering in a pleasant evening in one of the resorts as the NIVEA team shared about the brand history.

Whoever saw the potential of this island (and developed it!) is pure genius – our view from the plane window shows more than seven kilometers of white-sand beaches. We arrived shortly in just a 20-minute private transfer from Manila to Balesin, departing at 6AM at the CAAP hangar.                                   Yuki Tansengco | Designs by Abby Jocson Tote This year, leading skincare brand NIVEA,…
