When it comes to skincare, the first thought on our minds would be beauty products such as serums, creams, and masks. However, beauty experts and even researchers have stated that drinking more water can be just as crucial for your skin's health.
Regarding the weather forecast up to 29 July, the agency said that two tropical cyclones, classified as typhoons and tropical storms, are active in the north-east of the Philippines and the South China Sea.

As a result, the weather in the country is expected to become drier with less rainfall over the next few days.
