Why Skin Hydration is Important?

Hydrate! hydrate! that's the word the beautician keep telling me during my visit to facial treatment before MCO. At that point my thinking always..."I drink plenty of water what? What's the problem?" Well, the beautician obviously were talking about my skin hydration. As the ageing process, it is natural for our skin to lose up some of the essential nutrition just like our body too. Dehydrated skin occurs when there's a lack of water in the skin. Not like you can feed your skin with water, right?  How the dehydrated skin looks like? Well, the dehydrated skin usually looks dull and show premature signs of ageing such as wrinkles and loss of elasticity. You can easily tell on the dehydrated skin if you notice some of the symptoms below : * More sensitive fine lines and wrinkles start to appear * You skin feel itchy * Dull skin  * Dark under-eye circles or your eyes always look tired and sunken. Still unable to tell? You can do the simp...

Fermentation Technology Korean Skincare series by Haruharu

My K drama craze introduces me to Kimchi and Ramyeon. I fall in love with Kimchi to the extent even try to make them at home. But...I was not advisable to eat cabbage due to my health condition. So I eat Kimchi only occasionally. Kimchi is loaded with lots of Vitamin since it gone through a fermentation process which produces "healthy bacteria".   But a few years back I have been reading the cosmetics industry has adapted the fermentation process to create better skincare. Does fermented skincare work? I read skincare brands use the fermentation process claim they have two benefits : 1. Fermentation process breaks down ingredients into a smaller size which make it easier penetrate into the skin. 2. It produces minerals and good nutrients like Alpha Hydroxy Acids. I recently attended product launching by Haruharu Malaysia and have the liberty to try out skincare uses fermentation technology.  Incorporation world-class and environmentally friendly t...

Honest Review: Sunplay Skin Aqua Hyaluronic Acid Serum UV

  When I first picked up the Sunplay Skin Aqua Hyaluronic Acid Serum UV , the sleek blue bottle already gave me that “hydrating luxury” vibe. Unlike the usual heavy sunscreens or sticky sunblocks, this one feels more like a skincare serum than a typical sunscreen. That’s the first big difference ! It’s marketed as a serum UV , not just a sunblock. Texture & Application The texture is lightweight, almost watery-gel like, and it spreads effortlessly across the skin. No greasy residue, no sticky film, and most importantly.....  no white cast . This is a huge win for those of us who hate looking like a ghost after applying sunscreen. It absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling supple and hydrated, almost like you’ve just applied a hydrating essence. This is where it stands out! It doesn’t just sit on top of your skin to block UV rays, it actually locks in hydration thanks to the 3 types of Hyaluronic Acid (HA, Absorbent HA, Nano HA). Think of it as a sunscreen that doubles ...

Cosmoderm Luminous A Retinol Review

In general, most people are advised to start using retinol in their mid-20s. Why do we need retinol for our skin? Well, this is because collagen and elastin production starts to slow down. Adding retinol into our skincare routine at age of 25 to 30 is the perfect time to slow down the ageing process. So, what is retinol that people are hyping about? In short, retinol is a topical product containing a vitamin A derivative. Technically speaking a type of retinoid which works to increase collagen production. It helps to treat acne, and blackheads and is also ideal to improve skincare texture such as minimising fine lines, and wrinkles and brightening dull skin. Personally, I am a beginner in adding Retinol into my skincare routine. At the age of 47 years old. I guess, am afraid to start one because I read many side effects if use it wrong.  What is the side effect if you use retinol wrong?  Retinols can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. So, it is advisable to apply th...
