In 2009, we had the chance to personally meet Ms. Elvira (Elvie) Pineda, the amiable head of an international beauty organization with the Philippines as home base (also in Cainta, Alabang, Las Pinas, San Fernando, Pampanga and Bacoor, Cavite) and affiliates in Thailand and Bangladesh. Aside from the obvious personal charm, Ms. Pineda's sense of humility despite her being an international skin specialist comes through like a pleasant breeze on a hot summer day.

The Elvira Pineda range of beauty and skin care products include skin whiteners, toners, peeling products, and anti-wrinkle preparations. Some of the Philippine celebrities who have favorable accounts on their beauty care experience with Elvie Pineda products are Lani Lobangco, Rachel Lobangco, and Rufa Mae Quinto. For those who want to do the extra mile, complete services can also be availed of at Elvira's Resort and Spa in Tagaytay City in the Philippines province of Cavite. In this fashion, it can be said that Elvie Pineda is in a position to offer the full circle of the beauty experience - from skin care products to all the amenities of a luxury spa and resort.  Especially since beauty is appreciated at anytime during the four seasons!
