When it comes to my personal grooming, I’ve had one wish: for my pores to stop being such attention seekers. I’ve tried everything and done everything (from serums to strips to peels to lasers) but my good intentions never paid off. My pores remained clogged and I had blackheads like China has inhabitants. I honestly gave up. That was until I had a 5-hour facial at Porcelain Face Spa. Yeah, I said 5 hours…

If there’s one thing I enjoy mid-day is a burst of refreshment. Or a mid-afternoon mojito. I can drink all day long but that’s tough when there are things to do. So I look for minty refreshment somewhere else and for the past 4 months, I’ve been using this elixir from Caudalie…

Lightening or whitening products can be confusing. After all, not everyone wants to look like they can’t step out into the sun without getting scorched immediately.

In life, don’t we all try to do it all? As much as we would like our lives to turn out one way; plans and goals take time to come to fruition and the same logic applies to skincare. As much as we wish one product would do it all, sometimes, all it takes to get us the skin we want is a little booster…

Cleansing your face twice a day is important and so is not stripping your skin of essential moisture when you do so. Men have oilier skin than women but sometimes we dry our skin out with harsh products and that causes the skin to compensate for the lack of moisture by producing more sebum in an attempt to balance things out…

During my teenage years, all I wanted were super strong products that absorbed all the sebum on my skin. I had very oily skin and I always look like I spent 8 hours deep frying chicken at the end of every day. Now I find myself buying only products that treat gently and effectively…

Frequent flying, stress and too much alcohol are the main causes of dehydrated skin for me. I’ve also noticed that my skin has changed from oily to combination as I get older.
