Skincare in haircare now a big beauty trend

MANILA, Philippines — If there is one core message the recent Watsons “Hair Goals” event had, it is that the scalp, too, is skin.

Although scalp is skin, scalp is even more complicated, according to reports, as it is skin that protects and covers the skull.

The skin takes about 15% of body weight, making it the body’s largest organ, so it only makes sense that many haircare products have evolved to include skincare benefits for the scalp, and not just ingredients that could beautify the hair.

At the “Hair Goals” launch in Watsons SM Mall of Asia, the health and beauty retailer introduced new haircare products infused with ingredients and benefits only previously available in skincare. These include:

Until August, Watsons offers deals such as buy 1, take 1 and discounts of up to 50% off on hair brands like Naturals by Watsons, Hairfix, Hair Treats, L’Oréal, Vitress, Revlon, Head & Shoulders, Palmolive, Moist Diane, Kiss, Hana, Monea, Curls, Gatsby, and Mise en Scene. Also until next month, the same deals apply on hand soap and body wash, and Snake Brand products, while up to 50% off is offered on brands such as Dove, Safeguard, Belo, Oxecure, Hygienix, and Gluta-C.

"We offer a wide selection of health and beauty products so you can feel great inside and out," stated Gray Campos, Senior Category Manager - Trading Beauty, Watsons Philippines. "With our offerings and services both available in-store and online, along with great deals and offers, our customers can discover products tailored to their unique needs, making their everyday showering refreshing and rewarding, ultimately elevating their self-care routine."
