Brighten your eyes

 

Being the true ‘windows to your soul’, eyes show telltale signs of fatigue and stress no matter how much concealer you pack on to hide them. They're also one of the most underrated focal points when ‘pampering’ comes to mind, as we’re often geared towards investing more on facial skin care or body rejuvenation. It’s time to let your eyes shine with two best-selling items from Estetica, a prominent homegrown aesthetic chain.

1. Estetica OptimaLift A+ Eye Repair Capsules

Puffy peepers and fine lines making you look tired and dull? Rejuvenate your look with the help of ést.lab by Estetica’s OptimaLift A+ eye care range.

The OptimaLift A+ Eye Repair Capsules is a dual-action serum, a first-of-its-kind in the market with two high-performance ingredients: 10% Argireline® Peptide, which acts in a similar effect to botox to lift the eye contours and reduce fine lines, and 10% Eyeseryl® Peptide that helps to reduce the appearance of puffiness, increase hydration around the eyes, and improve skin elasticity around the eye.

This intensive night repair treatment tackles fine lines, dark circles and eye bags in one swoop. It has a restorative yet lightweight texture that dries off to a silky, soft finish.

How to use: Gently massage serum into the area around your eye in a circular motion. For best results, apply two to three times a week at night, as an intensive treatment. Each capsule contains a single application for both eyes.

Skin type: For combination, dry, normal, oily and sensitive skin.

2. Estetica OptimaLift A+ Intelligent Eye Revitaliser 2.0 Rose Gold

Whether you’re a fan of beauty technology or are looking for a solution to dark eye circles and eye bags, ést.lab by Estetica’s new OptimaLift A+ Intelligent Eye Revitaliser 2.0 Rose Gold is for you.

This rose gold wand is powered by three technologies: Therapeutic hot compress, which soothes fatigued skin around the eye area and accelerates the absorption of eye care products; LED red light therapy that activates light receptors in skin cells to help boost cellular metabolism, repair and regeneration (which then help reduce fine lines and sagging); and sonic micro-vibration, which now comes in three settings, low, medium and high (up to 11,000 vibrations per minute) to enhance blood circulation and lymphatic drainage systems while relaxing facial muscles.

We love how easy, yet mighty and customisable (nine different heat settings, three different sonic vibration intensities and three modes) the OptimaLift A+ Intelligent Eye Revitaliser 2.0 is. This award-winning eye-conic device does it all to brighten and reinvigorate the eyes for a more youthful appearance in just one minute.

How to use: Take an appropriate amount of eye cream and spread it evenly on the skin. Long press the power button to turn on the device and short press to switch between modes. Press the temperature button to adjust temperature as needed. Press the vibration button to adjust the strength of vibration as needed. Gently press the metal massage probe on the eye contour and glide around eye contours. Treatment should last until eye cream is fully absorbed, or a maximum of 3 minutes (in any mode) per eye.

Skin type: For combination, normal, oily and sensitive skin.


 

Wake up with better skin

 

Your complexion works hard to repair itself while you rest, which makes nighttime the right time to take years off your face with the help of these mega-moisturisers and powerful anti-ageing serums. To maximise your beauty sleep, add these must-have beauty products to your routine nightly to wake up with the complexion of your dreams.

3. Chrysalis Spa Gernetic International Cells Life

To the less beauty-savvy, hyaluronic acid may sound like something you don't want to put anywhere near your face. But, what if we told you that hyaluronic acid actually holds the key to smooth, flawless and hydrated skin?

In fact, our own skin cells actually produce hyaluronic acid naturally in a bid to maintain moisture levels. But, thanks to pesky ageing and environmental aggressors, to name just a few things flung at our faces on a daily basis, those levels tend to take a bit of a dip. This is where the Gernetic International Cells Life by Chrysalis Spa comes in. An anti-ageing serum, it contains hyaluronic acid which is meant to reduce fine lines and wrinkles on your face. It also contains collagen extracts, oligopeptides, vegetable glycoproteins as well as essential amino acids, which restore collagen and elastin to reduce unwanted ageing marks on your skin.

Now that you know about this hero skincare ingredient that is hyaluronic acid, consider slotting it into your regular beautifying routine. That is, if you haven't already.

How to use: Because of its high concentration of active ingredients, your skin only requires a few drops every morning and evening. Apply two drops on the palm of one hand, and smooth the serum into your skin. Start at the cheek, chin and temple zones, then move to the forehead area, and finish on the neck.

Skin type: For combination, dry, normal, oily and sensitive skin.

4. Coslab Arena Sayonara Antiacne Purifying Ampoules

Did you know that oily skin is believed to be the most critical factor for causing acne? Say bye bye to pimples and hello to healthy, clear, radiant skin with the Arena Sayonara Antiacne Purifying Ampoules by Coslab. With its exceptional soothing and disinfecting properties, this product tightens your skin, controls oil secretion, accelerates cell regeneration, kills acne-causing bacteria, and soothes skin redness.

If you think of your skincare routine as a three-course meal, then this ampoule is akin to the main course. After the appetiser (cleanser and toner), and before the dessert (moisturiser and sunblock), adding in an ampoule to the mix will deliver high concentrations of amino acids, with a proportionate amount of sulfur and astringent to help tighten and disinfect skin.

How to use: After cleansing and toning, apply purifying ampoules on face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Gently massage until fully absorbed.

Skin type: For oily skin and acne-prone skin.

5. Coslab Leim Biobotulina Plus Retinol Stem Cell Serum

The skin produces collagen on a daily basis, however, production begins to slow as the body ages, causing skin to lose its elasticity and tautness. As a result, wrinkles start to appear. Though it may be difficult to stop collagen loss, retinol — a star ingredient in many anti-ageing serums and creams like this one — is commonly used to boost collagen levels in the skin.

While your anti-ageing routine probably already includes a go-to face moisturiser, sunscreen and a rich eye cream, you might be missing a key player: a supercharged serum! Fight skin ageing and help keep your skin fresh and glowy with the Leim Biobotulina Plus Retinol Stem Cell Serum by Coslab. Benefits include an increased cell turnover and elastin production, plumping up fine lines and wrinkles, improved skin tone and pigmentation, as well as smoothing of the skin’s surface. It can even help with cystic acne and blemishes.

How to use: Apply to your skin after cleansing but before moisturising. Gently apply the serum to your face and neck and, lightly tap, pat, and smooth the serum out. Avoid tugging the skin or rubbing too hard, and let the product absorb on its own once you've smoothed it out.

Skin type: For combination, dry, normal and sensitive skin.

6. Coslab Leim Melawhite Vials

Do you remember the days when tanned skin was all the rage? Little did we know that enjoying golden days in the sun without a drop of sunscreen on, would lead to the formation of freckles and pigmentation on our skin. Thankfully, we have the best solution for this very common issue!

Coslab’s Leim Melawhite Vials is a night “shock” treatment that features superb cell renewal properties along with the gradual reduction of skin pigmentation. Made with Coslab’s special Melawhite-based formula, it is designed to slow down the formation of melanin pigments on the skin. With continued use, your skin tone will start to even out, and you will notice a reduction in skin blemishes and freckles.

How to use: Press down the top of the cap to inject Melawhite Whitening Essence into the bottle. Replace the cap and shake well until completely dissolved. Avoiding the eye contours, massage the contents over your skin after cleansing and toning, and before applying your serum and moisturiser. Finish using the contents in this bottle within seven days.

Skin type: For combination, dry, normal, oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin.

7. Kinohimitsu Collagen Diamond

There is no disputing the fact that good skin comes from within. We can all remember a time during which we’ve overindulged and neglected our diet for a few days, with the effects manifesting on our faces in the form of dullness, dehydration and blemishes. While consuming a balanced and nutritious diet is essential, sometimes it can be helpful to support what you eat with a skin supplement.

The Kinohimitsu Collagen Diamond is an oral beauty supplement that can give you better skin by enriching it from the inside out. Infused with 5300 mg of marine collagen — a pure form of hypoallergenic protein produced from the skins of fish — this skin-boosting potion is like a hydrating serum that you can drink. The collagen peptides included in this elixir closely mimics that of the collagen in our own skin so it’s easily absorbed and leads to a radiant, moisture-plumped visage in no time at all.

If you’re looking to restore your skin to its youthful glow, pamper yourself with this miracle concoction for velvety-smooth skin. It also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, heals scars, and seals in precious moisture.

How to use: For first-time users, consume one bottle a day for a consecutive period of six days, preferably before breakfast or bedtime. For maintenance, consume one bottle every two days. Shake well before use, and is best served chilled.

Skin type: For combination, dry, normal, oily and sensitive skin.


 

Look good, feel good

 

Today, self-care seems to be synonymous with care of the skin. However, it is not the end all be all. That’s not to say that skin care isn’t a necessary part of self-care, it’s more about the act of applying it and focusing on yourself. Including these two products as part of your routine will help you feel good both inside and out, it also helps set the tone and clear the energy for the day ahead.

8. Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Body Mist

With an ever-growing selection of perfumes to choose from, you may be wondering why you need a body mist. For those looking for a long-lasting fragrance from the moment they step out of their morning shower, body mists are a staple for your fragrance wardrobe. Body mists also help hydrate your skin and their light aroma will leave you smelling great and feeling fresh for the day ahead.

From a lush green world of freshness comes Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Body Mist from Dollars and Scent. This body mist gives out a refreshing and comfortable scent of citrus floral and green tea, combined with lemon and orange to energise the mind and body.

How to use: Much like perfume, body mists should be applied directly to the skin. We recommend spraying your body mist all over your skin immediately after your shower or bath.

Skin type: For combination, dry, normal, oily and sensitive skin.

9. Kinohimitsu Bird's Nest with Red Dates & Wolfberries

Bird’s nest is one of nature’s superfoods, and is made using the birds’ saliva, which contains mainly proteins (glycoprotein, amino acids, collagen, etc). In the context of Chinese medicine, bird’s nest has been consumed for hundreds of years because of its health properties. Bird’s nest is said to improve your immunity, promote cell rejuvenation and beautify your skin. It is no wonder that this superfood is loved by many in Singapore.

Opt for Kinohimitsu Bird's Nest with Red Dates & Wolfberries, which combines the goodness of 100% genuine deluxe quality bird’s nest, red dates and wolfberries, allowing you to enjoy the optimal benefits in one bottle. It is purported to promote a youthful, radiant and smooth complexion, increase your body’s resistance to external environmental stress, and relieve fatigue while supporting respiratory health.

If you want to jump start your self-care journey, the Kinohimitsu Bird's Nest with Red Dates & Wolfberries is a good way to begin.

How to use: It is a ready-to-drink and can be consumed chilled or warmed. Suitable for all ages.

Skin type: For combination, dry, normal, oily and sensitive skin.
