Skincare for different concerns

This might be a case of dehydrated skin, which is different from having dry skin.

Dehydrated skin = a lack of water in the skin, which is why people with oily skin can experience it too.

Dehydration may occur if you’ve had too much caffeine, or are not hydrating enough when in a colder environment.

The solution is simple — you’ve got to add H20 back to your skin. The Hydrating Emulsion ($60) has algin extract that hydrates for up to 48 hours; you can even use it as a sleeping mask.

These come perfectly normal with age, especially once you hit 30. The key is to prevent more from forming, by keeping skin firm.

The Shiso Facial Serum ($115) has centella asiatica extract that stimulates the production of collagen, making sure it’s supple to the touch.

To go the extra mile, follow up with the Nano Shiso Age Reversion Face Cream ($70), an anti-ageing moisturiser that has hydrolyzed rice protein, soybean protein, and black tea to promote better skin elasticity.

If the problem starts appearing around the eye area, opt for the Age Inversion Eye Serum ($70), a lightweight eye serum that helps to correct visible signs of ageing around the eyes and keeps the area bright and radiant.

It’s as they say, prevention is always better than cure — and while wrinkles are often irreversible, you’d still want to look #myagebutbetter.

Don’t skip out on the sunscreen during the day in fear of adding grease to the skin; the internationally renowned Oil Free Facial Sunscreen ($49) is, as its name suggests, an oil-free option that sinks right into the skin for broad UV protection.
