As temperatures continue to rise and the days stretch longer, summer in the city is far from over. But sun care? That’s an all-year affair—and Anessa Philippines is here to remind us why.
Held on April 25 to 26 at the SM Aura Skypark, Anessa’s Sunsational: Ultimate Wellness Festival—in collaboration with Watsons—was more than just a sun-kissed celebration. It was a vibrant fusion of movement, mindfulness, and skin-loving education, drawing fitness buffs, wellness seekers, and beauty lovers into a shared space of self-care and sun protection.
The two-day festival kicked off with a soul-awakening yoga session guided by Pat Santos, followed by a smart and skin-deep discussion with dermatologist Dr. Beatrice Maxine Chan on sun care essentials. The crowd then powered through a strength training session with fitness coach Morgan Justine, before dancing into the golden hour with a lively cardio session led by Denise Uson and Nina Alvia.
But it wasn’t all sweat and stretches. Wellness booths dotted the space, offering healthy snacks, skincare sampling, and festival-only deals on Anessa’s sun care lineup—including the playful yet potent Anessa x Pokémon Gold Series. With SPF-packed formulas designed for active lifestyles, the collection adds a dash of fun to everyday protection—whether you’re heading to the beach or simply walking under the Manila sun.
Even as the final beats of cardio faded and yoga mats were rolled up, the message remained clear: sun protection isn’t seasonal. It’s a year-round commitment to keeping your skin healthy and glowing, especially in a tropical country where UV exposure is part of daily life.
So while the Sunsational Festival may have come to a close, the glow lives on. Exclusive Anessa deals are still available at Watsons, giving everyone the chance to carry a bit of that festival magic into their own daily routines—no matter the season.
