045 - Laurier Ultra Gentle

Recently, I have been seeing this trending video on Youtube which shows how things would be like if guys had periods. The video is so funny, but yet so true. So painfully true!

I am sure every girl would agree that we will never want to go through this monthly week-long period if we have a choice! It is such a torturing process! Apart from the really bad menstrual cramps, the fear of leakage and staining clothes, there's this discomfort on the skin which sometimes causes skin irritation. In fact, 7 out of 10 women have experienced skin irritations eg. itchiness, stuffiness and redness during periods. Such discomforts occur as skin around intimate area become more sensitive during the time of the month. :(

The new Laurier Ultra Gentle is the first dermatologically tested napkin in Singapore, clinically proven to relieve skin irritations. 



Its key efficacies are:

- Ultimate Comfort
Unique airy soft wavy surface reduces skin contact, minimizing friction and skin irritations    



- Extra Breathable
Airflow is channeled and promoted by the wavy surface, thus relieving stuffiness, moisture and itchiness 



- Quick Lock & Dry system 
Super absorbent layer locks in fluid quickly, reducing wetness on the napkin surface, leaving you drier and sticky-free.

- Advanced technology 
Developed with Japan's Advanced Skin Science Technology

- Premium quality, Made in Japan

- Suitable for all skin types especially sensitive skin 



I am amazed by the touch and feel of the Laurier Ultra Gentle on my first use because it feels so soft, almost like a piece of cloth on your skin so there's minimum rubbing and that reduces skin irritation. The other brands which I have tried are stiffer and definitely not as gentle on the skin as Laurier Ultra Gentle. So I'm definitely stocking up for my next use! Just to share, they have new lengths for both day (25cm)and night (40cm) use! :)

The Laurier Ultra Gentle can be purchased as major supermarkets/ hypermarkets, pharmacies and personal care stores. The retail prices are as follows:

Day (25cm): $5.60/ 15s
Night (40cm): $4.95/ 7s

044 - Palmer’s White & Even Dark Spot Corrector


Now a huge fan of Palmer’s after introducing two of their products, I’m back with 2 more amazing products they have in store for us!


What is the number 1 sign of ageing?
Recent studies show that above wrinkles and loss of firmness, discoloration is the #1 perceivable sign of ageing amongst women. Obvious reasons are because even skin tones will appear more attractive and healthy, and also judged to be younger in age too!
So what causes hyperpigmentation and how can we treat it?
One of the most common reasons is UV exposure and other factors include acne scarring, severe dryness and hormonal changes. They appear in the form of age spots, freckles, melasma etc. The areas which the sun hits the most are in the dangerous zones and we have to take extra care of them and by that I don’t mean just the face. Hands, neck and shoulders are equally important too!

The Palmer’s White & Even range is formulated with an advanced blend of potent yet gentle ingredients that reduces hyperpigmentation and has unique skin tone correcting formulations. The range is free of parabens, phthalates, sulphates, harsh dyes, synthetic dyes and fragrances and is appropriate for all skin types. Yay!



When used daily, Palmer’s White & Even products lightens surface skin cells producing more uniform skin tone within 3-5 days and also acts on the deeper skin layers to inhibit over-production of melanin. Even skin tone develops as skin cells rise to the surface. In as little as 4 weeks, you will be able to see an overall improvement on the discoloration and dark spots! Some points to note:
- Continued exposure to sun will work against the effects of the products, so sunscreen protection is VERY IMPORTANT.
- Discontinued use of Eventone will allow the over-production of melanin to resume and dark spots will return.


The Palmer’s White & Even Dark Spot Corrector is very lightweight and there is no burden on my skin after application. It is not oily (very important to me) and absorbs well on the skin quickly, leaving me with no troubles on my morning makeup routine. =) Apart from this,  I even more so love the Palmer’s  White & Even Dark Circle Correcting Eye Treatment. As seen from the picture, this treatment gel has this shimmery, glittery thing in it and this brightens up the eye area instantly even without makeup! With this, I only need a weeny bit of concealer on my undereye area and I’m good to go! =)

The full Palmer’s White & Even range can be found at the following retail stores:
Watsons, Guardian, BHG, Robinsons, John Little, Essentials Pharmacy, Nishino Pharmacy, all leading pharmacies, departmental and cosmetics stores
Retail Price:
Palmer’s White & Even Dark Spot Corrector - $29.90/30ml
Palmer’s  White & Even Dark Circle Correcting Eye Treatment - $22.90/15ml

043 - Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover

Remember last year when I introduced the Biore Micellar Cleansing Water? I'm already on my 3rd bottle for that and still loving it because it is so gentle and keeps my face moisturized while cleansing off my make up. You can read more about the previous post here.

Today, I am going to introduce another make-up remover from Biore; the Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover. I have tried it for a week and I'm totally loving it!



The Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover is an improved product from its previous version with the following features:


- Smoother jelly-like texture: Gentle on skin and rinses off easily and quickly without any harsh tugging or pulling action on skin
- High cleansing ability: Dissolves and lifts off all traces of makeup effortlessly.
- 40% more moisturising essence: Nourishes and hydrates skin for a dewy moisturised finish.
- Lightweight formula: Leaves skin feeling refreshed, with no sticky or greasy after-feel. 

Let's try it!

  1. Pump an appropriate amount (2-3 pumps) onto hands and spread evenly over face and eye area.


  2. Massage gently to dissolve makeup.


  3. Rinse thoroughly with water. It is not necessary to remove cleansing liquid with cotton pad or tissue.


  4. For best results, apply on dry face and hands. Do not use facial cotton pad or tissue. 
So glad that I am able to try out this Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover! The makeup remover has a really nice smell and can easily remove heavy makeup with just a few glides! No tugging on skin and no stripping off moisture from the skin too! Now I can alternate between using the Biore Micellar Cleansing Water and Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover to remove my light and heavy makeup! =D

My Before and After pictures!


 

Yay to clean and dewy skin! 

You can get yours now at all leading supermarkets, personal care stores and western pharmacies & departmental stores at $24.90 (230ml)! No consideration needed because it is suitable for all skin types! =P
