My Home Spa

Being away from the convenience of Singapore means i CANNOT INDULGE IN MY MONTHLY SPA AND FACIALS! That, is tough. Here, a manicure starts from SGD 150!! So I came prepared.

The change in climate in the initial weeks have made me breakout, peel and develop dandruff. The breakout was salvaged by Porcelain Face Spa's Balance Essence. It really is a skin and ego saver, removing pimples without medication! It even hydrates my skin. 

 

I was spoilt rotten by Phytho Hair Spa and Hairscience back home. Here, i maintain my hair spa with Silkpro Treatment Conditioner and Hair Tonic Concentrate. Silkpro has a new range with ingredients that seem to be pretty natural, chemical free. Do you know the one thing that Singaporean men fear the most? It is the loss of hair. NUMBER ONE FEAR.

 

It freaks me out whenever i comb or wash my hair. I drop alot of hair, so i googled and results say dropping 80 strands a day is normal. Especially if you have long hair, it is heavy (thus more hair fall) and it looks like alot in your hand because it is long. I confess, I have collected them in a day and counted them one strand by one strand. It is not severe hair loss (phew!).

 

But prevention can always start! The new Silkpro Hairvolution promotes balancing, strengthening and protecting the scalp to prevent hair loss.

 

My home spa also consist of Kneipp body scrub for the body and for the face, i love Khiel's microbeads facial scrub. You only need a 5 cent coin dollop. It is so fine, and it feels so good.

 

But first, i throughly remove any residue on my face with Porcelain Face Spa's make-up remover. I didn't know this before, but even if you do not have make-up on your face, you need to use one to throughly cleanse your face because sunblock can clog pores. Not Biore's Aqua UV though.

 

I then lay in a hot tub, with Porcelain Face Spa's Hydrocare paper mask on. Made from a bio-cellulose fabric that the salon launched in 2010 after research and lab work, it contours my face, while working to fight the signs of dryness and dehydration with ingredients like Sodium hyaluronate, lychee seed extract and fig fruit extract. It also has Vitamin E content that provides antioxidant protection and helps further nourish my skin.

Usually these paper masks always have an excess of mask serum in the pack. I either use it on my neck or i store it in a small container and use it for the next couple of days.

This is how i conduct my home spa, complete with lighting a scented candel and eating a scoop of ice-cream while my hair and face is being treated sitting in a bath tub!

An Introduction to Kiehl's

Advertorial

I've always thought that Kiehl's is a male skincare brand. After all, there's ulzzang blogger Yutaki touting it.

I found out from George on how to be Young.

With George Young.

I thought aging starts at 25, i was wrong. With some wit, some say aging starts since birth but skincare analysts say again starts at 20.

Young bulldog.

Old bulldog.

To test if your skin is still youthful, you poke your check with a finger. It should feel QQ, like fish-balls. Thankfully, i started monthly facials since i'm 17. I only diligently start a disciplined skincare regime in my early 20s.

There's a new product in town!

Do you read labels?

I do.

I read the labels on what i eat, i read the labels on what i use. I'm heavily influenced by my parents to care about what goes onto my skin and into my body. I want the purest, the best quality and i'm pleased to know Khiel's is another brand who uses the finest naturally derived ingredients. 

Look at its Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol Free toner! It has reminiscence of the marigold flower petals. I feel like drinking it, it looks like 凉茶.

Apparently, copper and calcium is the latest thing in skincare now. Khiel's uses it's latest lab technology and expertise since 160 years ago to produce a new range of anti-aging products.

It is SPF 30 too! 2 in 1, reduces vanity table space!!

If you haven't got a skincare regime, the good news is that because Kiehl's is gaining quick popularity across the world, they have decided to REDUCE their prices so that more can remain youthful. This is unheard of! With inflation and increasing costs on EVERYTHING, how can this be? But it's fortunately true, prices are reduced up to 30%.

You can walk into any Khiel's store to discover.

Let the human race not age.

Skincare for Winter

Experiencing winter is not what we Singaporeans are used to. Rain is the closest we'll get & it's the only chance to take out the sweaters. Wellies, not ugg boots is what we'll wear. 

I don't normally experience harsh winter conditions even during my travels, so i was very ill-equipped when i visited UK early this year. It was towards the end of winter, and i thought my regular skincare would suffice.

I was SO wrong. My skin was SO dry, probably that's why i didn't have a holiday fling (anyone would be afraid of my skin flakes falling on them like snow).

At wit's end in UK, April with my dry skin.

I made a quick trip to the pharmacy and bought travel sized facial scrub and mask. Alas, they didn't help. I was so desperate that i contemplated shelling SGD 300 for a facial when i was in Switzerland. I decided to hold out to return to Porcelain Face Spa in Singapore.

My second winter trip in the year, i was a little more well-equipped. I learnt that a very rich moisturizer is essential in winter. What i use daily in Singapore is not sufficient because due to our climate here, we need skincare that is not oily.

I also felt that the scrub i was using while travelling was too harsh for winter. I thought i was sloughing away the dead skin, but in fact that dehydrates my face even more!

My skin was abit more hydrated in Finland, October this year.

After my return, i learned a new skincare tip! 

Porcelain's REVIVE contains beads to physically scrub away impurities with an advanced formula that makes use of natural enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells. While the motion stimulates microcirculation as i massage my skin, it gently lifts dissolved impurities and at the same time, pump nutrients deep into the skin. It is a non abrasive exfoliator, good for winter!

$98 for 50ml

I'm going to experience my third winter this year. This time, China where it's -8! Let's hope i'm three times wiser!

Cure Pimples without Creams

I had a friend who told me she smeared OXY on her entire face before bed. Her skin today is AMAZING, but i can't quite believe smearing her face with OXY helped her achieve what she had today.

I personally use pimple creams like Differin, it is dispensed by dermatologists.

It wasn't effective. I found Isotrexin, also dispensed by dermatologists alot more effective. Except, it is super drying.

So dry that my face peels and make-up can't conceal.

I found Balance, a sebum control essence by Porcelain Face Spa.

Made up with 50% Sodium Hyaluronate, a natural substance with the ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, Balance Essence has super hydrating properties without over-moisturizing your skin.

This is because it helps your skin locks in its own moisture at the cellular level, thus preventing excessive moisture loss and at the same time, provide a strong defense against aging and environmental damage.

Extracted from the Horse Chestnut Tree, Esculin has been widely used in cosmetics formulas to treat varicose veins broken capillaries due to its ability to strengthen blood vessels.

It is also a powerful anti-oxidant, prevent premature aging of the skin. It is useful at regulating oil secretion, balancing skin’s pH level and inhibiting catabolic enzymes that causes loss of skin’s natural collagen.

I've been using this the last few weeks where there're pimples or i feel there's gonna be an outbreak.

After a night's sleep, the swelling actually went down or that pimple never did appear!

Vanity Trove

Advertorial

Here's a gift idea for a girlfriend, a best friend, a sister, mum or even a treat to yourself!

For only $25 each month, a specially put together trove filled with the latest and trendiest beauty treats is hand delivered to your doorstep for your enjoyment.

Mine arrived in a box slightly smaller than an A4 paper. Sleek in white, it was heavy. The box was one of the sturdiest i've ever received, i made a mental note to recycle the box for which i can use it to re-gift! Peeling away the plastic sheet that encased my trove, i pulled out the trove's drawer. As I eagerly lifted the chiffon paper, the most heavenly smell hit me. A sweet citrusy bowled me over. A trove of treats greeted me, a smile lit my face.

The surprise delivery certainly lifted my spirits.

Here's why it's heavy. I uncovered these items within, there were known brands like Clinque lip gloss & facial foam (25ml) but also new brands (to me) like Nuxe's nail cream and a leave-in hair moisturizer (100ml) made in Israel! I can't wait to try that one out, my badly parched hair ends need it.

Love the cheeky farm-girl soap too, yes I'm filthy!

Within, there is also a complimentary 60 min spa treatment at The Safari Spa (at Boon Lay SAFRA) and many discount/ cash vouchers for blog shops like Dressabelle, Smooch, Pink Flare and more. Since opening up the pandora box, my room is filled with the citrusy scent that puts me in the mood for love.

I strongly suggest boyfriends subscribe to a SURPRISE vanity trove delivered to your girlfriend if not monthly (every month, she receives a surprise), quarterly (every 4 months, she receives a surprise) is still sweet!

Prices start at $25 (for 1 month) to try out!

You won't be disappointed. From my first vanity trove, the value is more than $25 already!

I still can't get over the smell of heaven.
