Having a good skincare and body care regimen is a woman’s not-so-secret basic cheat sheet to a healthier, better looking and more hygienic you; and being a man is no exception.

Need not to fret guys, ‘coz it does not entitle you an instant metrosexual award (or should I rather call it as “stigma”) if you own a facial wash/shaving cream, moisturiser and a deodorant. Rather, it just proves how hygienic and conscious you are on your well-being, which earns you a gold star from the ladies.

NIVEA brought something new made especially for the gents: a deodorant especially formulated to fight odour-causing bacteria and a skincare line that specifically targets oily skin problems. (more…)

Tony Moly has been generously giving me these wonderful products that’s just been launched recently. It’s about time to feature these goodies for public consumption. Expect more Tony Moly posts (especially reviews) in the upcoming weeks!

Introducing the Dear Me Skincare (and Makeup) Line:

Each of these Tony Moly Dear Me products contains baby herb complex — composed of 7 different botanical potent extracts — that works as a skin barrier, keeping the skin healthy and protected against the harmful effects of environmental pollutants.

NIVEA Visage Sparkling White Range claims to help achieve such results; that is, keeping your skin fair and glowing no matter what skin type you have. Most products are formulated for all skin types, except for some that are specially dedicated to either oily, dry or ageing skin types.

Each product contains White Crystallites that naturally reflect micro pigments to achieve outer fairness. White Pure Actives (a combination of Dioic Acid and natural lightening ingredient Licorice) regulate melanin production, supporting the skin lightening process from the inside whilst reducing the appearance of dark spots. UVA/UVB Filters protect the skin against against harmful ultraviolet rays that cause premature aging, dark spots and freckles.

Some products under this range have additional ingredients that function for specific purposes (more…)
