Why Dianne Medina Is Talking About Real-Life Skincare and Why Maxine Medina Tried It

 


Manila, Philippines — Media personality, host, and working mom Dianne Medina led the official launch of My Saiko Skin, using the platform to highlight a message that strongly resonated with women and mothers. The event focused on the growing need for skincare that fits into real life, rather than adding pressure to already demanding daily routines.

Speaking candidly during the launch, Medina shared how her skincare habits changed after becoming a mother. She explained that routines she once followed are no longer practical today.

“Before, skincare was a long ten-step process. Now, as a working mom, you really don’t have that time anymore,” Medina said.

She emphasized that women manage many responsibilities every day, making simplicity a key factor when choosing skincare.

“You have many priorities, work, kids, responsibilities, so skincare needs to fit into real life,” she added.

Throughout the event, Medina consistently returned to this message, reinforcing that skincare should be supportive rather than overwhelming. She also delivered a clear message directed at women and mothers, reminding them that self-care should not feel like an added burden.

“Skincare should support your lifestyle, not add pressure to it,” she said.

The launch also featured Miss Universe Philippines 2016 Maxine Medina, who shared her personal experience using My Saiko Skin products and her preference for Japanese skincare. She highlighted the brand’s lightweight formulations, noting that they absorb quickly and work well within a simplified daily routine.

Behind the brand, My Saiko Skin CEO and Founder Anna Perez shared the company’s vision of bringing Japanese skincare standards to Filipino consumers while keeping products accessible. She explained that maintaining formulation quality and protective packaging was a priority, even while managing costs.

Ms. Anna Perez also shared the brand’s long-term direction beyond the local market. “Our vision is to see My Saiko Skin not only in the Philippines, but across Asia, the US, Dubai, and globally,” she said.

From a formulation perspective, Japanese manufacturing partner and technical lead Mr. Benson Liao explained that Japanese skincare focuses on discipline, ingredient stability, and long-term skin health. He noted that My Saiko Skin formulations are designed to address sensitivity and inflammation through carefully selected and stabilized ingredients.

Providing medical context, Dermatologist Dra. Jaja discussed common skincare concerns among Filipinos, including sensitivity, pigmentation, and acne, which are often influenced by climate, pollution, and lifestyle. She emphasized that minimalist routines can be effective when products are well-formulated and used consistently.

My Saiko Skin expands its retail presence at Mitsukoshi Beauty BGC Mall, Mercury Drugstores, and Rose Pharmacy with a curated lineup of Japan-made skincare formulated with advanced Vitamin C technology.

The range features the Glasskin VC Essence Total Pore Care, which not only target pores but it also refines and avoid breakouts; the Brightskin Pure VC Essence Illuminating Skin Perfector, developed with high-concentration stabilized Vitamin C to address hyperpigmentation and early signs of aging; and the My Saiko Skin Yuzu Peeling Soap, a Japanese artisan bar designed for gentle daily exfoliation while preserving skin balance.

Beyond formulation, the brand places equal importance on product integrity through thoughtful packaging. “Our VC Essence comes in a tube-type packaging with a pointed nozzle so it’s easier to apply and, more importantly, to limit air from coming in. This helps keep the Vitamin C more stable, more potent, and longer-lasting,” said Ms. Anna Perez, CEO of My Saiko Skin.

Formulation expert Benson Liao echoed this, noting, “Vitamin C is very sensitive to air and the environment. That’s why the pointed tube design is important, it limits air exposure and keeps the formula  in a very potent state until use.”

The launch concluded with a unified message echoed by its host, ambassadors, and experts. My Saiko Skin promotes simple, gentle, and effective skincare that supports real life, particularly for women and working mothers, while meeting Japanese formulation standards and Filipino needs.

Let Us Create A Better Tomorrow

  

From World Vision’s child sponsorship program and successful Noche Buena campaign, to Kuya Rey Bufi’s storytelling initiative sharing his book Saan-Saan with children in far-flung communities, these stories showcase impact and passion in action. Together, they remind us that hope, joy, and the gift of imagination can reach every child, creating lasting change across the Philippines. Deivid Rioferio, APR of CSR INSIGHTS shares this story about creating a better tomorrow.

It takes boldness to move from vision to action. We hope you find motivation from these stories impact and passion.

Give A Gift That Lasts

Thousands of children and families across the Philippines are celebrating Christmas and the New Year with the joy of knowing someone somewhere cares for them very deeply.

The child-focused nonprofit World Vision has been instrumental in making this happen through its child sponsorship program, where everyone has the opportunity to give a gift that lasts, hope. Sponsor a child now: https://www.worldvision.org.ph/gift-hope-sponsor-a-child/sponsor-now/

As an added highlight, World Vision National Director Dr. Harvey Q. Carpio shared the strong success of the organization’s recent Noche Buena campaign.

“Noche Buena is more than food on the table, it is the warmth of family, the joy of children’s laughter, and the reminder that hope is best shared together. For World Vision, this celebration is also a symbol of our hope for every child: that they may experience love, dignity, and the joy of Christmas, no matter their circumstance,” said Dr. Carpio.

Wrap A Little Magic

The last quarter of 2025 has been particularly busy for Kuya Rey Bufi, a kwentista, a storyteller, who travelled to different communities to share his book “Saan-Saan” with children.

“Saan-Saan is very close to my heart because it carries my personal advocacy of encouraging children to read. My dream has always been for every child to hold a book that can take them to places they’ve never been and spark their imagination. This story is a gentle reminder that reading can open doors to endless adventures,” shared Kuya Rey.

He said that when people asked him who the book is for, his answer was clear that it is for children who have never held a storybook in their hands, for Filipino kids who have little to no access to stories, and for those in far-flung communities across the country.

“But of course,” he added, “this can also be a gift to any child who longs for adventure. For just 300 pesos, you can gift a child the joy of imagination and the adventure of reading. May this story help them dream and imagine bigger worlds for themselves.”

Join PetroSync ASME Training for Code-Driven Professionals

  

Stay ahead of competitors with PetroSync ASME Training. Improve productivity, cut costs, and strengthen compliance with code-driven teams.

In today’s industrial landscape, compliance is no longer just a technical requirement—it is a competitive advantage. As a business leader, Anda are expected to make fast, confident decisions while navigating increasingly complex regulations. The uncomfortable truth? Many companies don’t lose projects because of pricing or capability, but because their teams are not fully aligned with the codes that matter most.

ASME standards are no longer optional knowledge. They are the language of trust between you, your clients, and regulators. And the companies that master this language early are already pulling ahead.

When Your Competitors Move Faster Than Your Codes

Imagine this scenario. A new project opportunity appears—pressure equipment, piping systems, or boilers. Your competitor responds quickly, confidently referencing specific ASME clauses, inspection requirements, and compliance pathways. Meanwhile, your internal team hesitates, double-checks interpretations, or relies heavily on external consultants.

That hesitation costs time. And in competitive industries, time often decides who wins.

Organizations that invest in structured ASME training don’t just gain technical knowledge. They reduce decision-making friction. Engineers speak the same code language, managers approve faster, and projects move without unnecessary back-and-forth. The result is measurable productivity improvement across engineering, QA, and operations teams.

The Hidden Cost of “We’ll Learn It Later”

Delaying code mastery often feels harmless—until it isn’t.

Misinterpretation of ASME requirements can lead to rework, inspection failures, or conservative design choices that inflate costs. Over time, these small inefficiencies accumulate into significant operational waste. Many companies don’t realize how much they overspend simply because their teams are unsure how to apply the code correctly.

Forward-thinking businesses now combine structured training with digital tools such as AI-powered chatbots to support daily operations. Industry studies show that AI chatbots can improve team productivity by up to 30%, streamline internal queries, and reduce dependency on senior experts for repetitive questions. When paired with solid ASME knowledge, these tools help teams work faster, reduce errors, and make code-based decisions with confidence—without adding headcount.

How Code-Driven Teams Quietly Win More Projects

Clients may not always ask how well your team understands ASME—but they feel it in every interaction.

Teams trained in standards like ASME Section I, B31.3, PCC-2, and Section VIII communicate more clearly, respond more accurately to technical clarifications, and inspire confidence during audits and negotiations. That confidence translates into trust, and trust wins contracts.

PetroSync’s ASME programs are designed for professionals who want more than theory. Whether Anda are strengthening boiler expertise through 👉 ASME Sec I Training

or ensuring piping compliance with 👉 ASME B31.3 Training

the focus remains practical application—so your team can apply the code correctly the very next day.

Staying Relevant When Regulations Become the New Battlefield

Regulatory pressure is intensifying, not easing. Equipment integrity, repair methodologies, and pressure vessel compliance are now under sharper scrutiny than ever. Companies that fail to keep up don’t just face technical risk—they risk losing relevance.

Training in advanced areas such as 👉 ASME PCC - 2 Training

and 👉 ASME Sec VIII div Training

helps your organization stay ahead of both regulators and competitors. When your teams understand not just what the code says, but how to apply it efficiently, Anda gain operational efficiency, lower compliance costs, and stronger positioning in the market.

In an era where even AI-driven tools are being used to cut operational costs and improve efficiency, relying on outdated or fragmented code knowledge is a risk no serious business can afford.

The question is no longer whether ASME training is necessary— it’s whether Anda want your company leading the conversation, or struggling to catch up.

About PetroSync Global Internasional

PetroSync was established in Singapore in 2010 and began its expansion into Indonesia in 2013. To this day, PetroSync has become a leading oil and gas training provider, with a participant passing rate as high as 90%.
