In a white-obsessed culture, some Filipinas are still into buying whitening products in the hopes of having fairer skin as Western mentality has made us believe that “fair skin is beautiful” for so long.
But recently, noteworthy beauty trends have proven that Filipinas are becoming more and more into their brown skin again, a milestone that has taken so long to be achieved.
Case in point, spray-tanning salons in the Philippines are well-embraced by Filipina beauty junkies today. Pink Parlour, a Singaporean beauty enterprise launched in the Philippines in 2012, can attest to these changes in perception of brown beauties as its team has witnessed how consumers love Organic spray-tanning that they offer. Celebrities like Sam Pinto and Georgina Wilson, to name a few, have been their loyal clientele for years. Nino Pangilinan, general manager of Pink Parlour Philippines, pointed out a very beautiful thing about the emergence of brown-skin-loving invasion in the local beauty scene.
“Most of our clients avail our famed Organic Spray Tan because they want to even out their already-morena skin, which says a lot about on how the Filipina beauty consumers today are proud of their brown skin that they take time to enhance and highlight it,” Panglinan said. “Most Europeans and Caucasians are envious of Filipinas’ olive skin, and I am very happy that Pink Parlour is here to witness how Filipinas are finally falling in love with the kayumanggi skin they’re in. It is indeed a milestone, not only for Pink Parlour, but also for the Filipina beauty scene in general.”
Pink Parlour is the first ever organic spray tanning salon in the Philippines. Actually, Pink Parlour is the first spray-tanning salon in Southeast Asian, its homeland Singapore where it originated in 2005, wherein they truly pioneered in top-of-the-line spray tanning offerings. Today, Pink Parlour is present in Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, and has become the most awarded grooming and beauty salon in Southeast Asia. Winning prestigious beauty accolades for its beauty offerings such as painless hair removal solutions, premiere nail care offerings and professional organic spray tanning, Pink Parlour has indeed become an expert in spray tanning, among other beauty matters. Its Spray Tanning has gained celebrity following in Singapore including American Idol judge and choreographer Paula Abdul and UK boy band BLUE.
That sun-kissed, natural glow
“Our spray-tanning clients often come here at our outlets and specifically say that they want ‘that healthy, natural-looking, sun-kissed glow,” Pangilinan mentioned. “Of course, beauty magazines have said many times over that the only safe way to get that glow is through indoor tanning and definitely not getting baked under the sun.”
Indoor tanning has been globally popular for years, extremely patronized in the US and Europe. Different kinds of tanning platforms have emerged over the years, such as sun tanning beds and advanced tanning booths, but spray tanning is proven to be the safest.
Pink Parlour is the pioneer in Southeast Asia to offer UV-free spray tanning gives that vibrant natural-looking sun-kissed glow to the most discerning beauty aficionados, without harming the health of your skin. There have been skin scares about tanning before, but those are usually from tanning beds that have light bulbs that emit mostly UVA rays, which may lead to aging, wrinkles and perhaps skin cancer. None of that happens with Pink Parlour’s UV-Free Spray Tanning. “Our tanning solution is manually applied through a patented spray gun from Australia, and our tanning solutions are from Australia, globally known to be advanced yet mostly made up of organic ingredients,” Pangilinan said. “Our professional tanning therapists are personally trained by Pink Parlour’s founder Wendi Chan, some in Singapore and some here in Manila. Since the solution is manually applied, you can be sure that you’re getting personalized, streak-free, even tan.”
Pink Parlour’s tanning solution is mostly made of organic ingredients, such as pure organic Aloe Vera that provides skin hydration, skin soothing and nourishment qualities. It also has organic green tea, which is made from fresh green tea and not dried, that helps reverse sun damage, and thus offers skin repairing qualities. Its Coconut ingredient provides skin smoother and moisturizer that feels good on skin. Some of the color ranges have natural Caramel too. The hyper-allergenic bronzers are proven to not cause any allergies and can even be ingested. Pink Parlour’s solution also has one of the purest waters available through purification plant as well, which altogether make up for a healthy tanning product. Before every treatment, the therapists start off with a sea salt scrub to exfoliate and remove dead skin too.
Spray tan in this multi awarded beauty salon comes in various color tones and formulas to suit different skin needs too. “One may choose from a variety of shades including bronze, dark and caribbean chocolate. Our best-seller is Bronze, because it totally enhances the already-glowing skin color of Filipinas. Each fast-acting solution takes only six hours to dry. However, we have solutions that take only two hours to dry and are mostly availed by those on-the-go or who have special events.” Marane A. Plaza
