I’m not sure why this didn’t occur to me earlier but our skin type is determined by our DNA, so wouldn’t it make sense to know how best to treat our skin/ what type of skincare to use based on our DNA? Well, someone did. Introducing Anake, Singapore’s first end-to-end DNA-based skincare experience, that uses...

Review: Victoria Facelift Facial
Received a free facial trial at Victoria Facelift, which specialises in (as their name suggests) lifting up saggy skin from the jaw line as well as wrinkles around the mouth area so that you look younger. It’s a bit like having a non-surgical facelift as they do all this through massages (both by hand and...
Review: Most Thorough Facial With Lynn Aesthetic
Thanks to Sample Store, I was treated to a complimentary Energy Boost Facial at Lynn Aesthetic. Their Energy Boost Facial is also called the “Lift & Shape” treatment and it focuses on moisturising and hydrating the skin through the use of collagen. This is great if you want to fight the visible signs of aging and relieve...
How Does a $800 Facial Feel Like?
If you’re wondering how can a facial cost $800, you’re not alone. Another thought that probably popped into your head was, “What’s inside? Gold? Caviar? Diamond?” Well…you’re not too far off. Perhaps you’re also imagining some fancy schmancy science stuff or tools that are involved. HAACH has recently launched its latest luxe professional facial – the...
Minimising Scars With Hiruscar
Whoever said that adults do not get acne is lying. Sure, it’s not that serious an outbreak but…acne and pimples still pop up on adult skins! What makes things worse is that these scars take longer to lighten and disappear as you get older. Moreover, if you’re fair like me, the scars are horribly obvious....
Acne Begone With Benzac AC
Received my Benzac AC loot from SampleStore last week and I decided to do a proper review because if you’re like me and in your 30s but still suffering from the occasional breakout, you’ll want something to treat only the acne and not dry out the skin all around it. Warning: you will see a...
Funky New Japanese Eye Steam Mask
That’s me chilling with an eye mask. Not just any eye mask, but Kao’s latest “Eye Steam Mask”! I managed to get a sample of their lavender eye steam mask and I was really intrigued by it because you do not need to heat it up with water or crack anything. Also, with the name...
Getting My Face V-shaped at ClearSK Medi + Skincare
I was very privileged to be given complimentary V-Face Shaper treatments, which is the signature treatment at ClearSK! These treatments come at a very timely manner because after hitting 28, the skin around my neck is starting to sag and *gasp* I feel like I’m developing a double chin. So yes…I need my V-Face back...
