ÄKTA® Hydro-Organic Herbal Face Wash

Aloe Vera is one of the best natural skin-reviving ingredients out there. It heals, calms, hydrates and soothes and it is also packed with nutrients. So naturally, it makes a whole lot of sense to use them as a base for facial products. Which is exactly what Gunilla Of Sweden does…

Jurlique Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer

I don’t fall sick very often – perhaps maybe once or at most twice a year. I attribute that to my personal attention to having clean hands. I wash my hands with soap all the time because there’s just a lot of bacteria and germs out there on every surface so having clean hands makes a lot of sense to me. It has definitely paid off for me – being sick sucks more than a bad blowjob…

Caudalie Lip Conditioner

My lips get chapped quickly and easily – like how fast virgins ejaculate on their first sexual encounter. My lips are also allergic to petroleum jelly and any petroleum-based products so natural is the way to go. I didn’t have to look far when I was living in France to find natural products – the French have a penchant for natural products…

Clinique All About Eye Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage

I realized I was going to run out of my regular SK-II eye gel during my flight to Australia so I bought this eye serum from the on-flight duty free because it seemed interesting and it was oil-free…

Aesop B Triple C Facial Balancing Gel

Men have more active sebaceous glands (oil glands) than women so we produce more sebum than our fairer counterparts. That said, more sebum doesn’t mean we skip moisturizing. On the contrary, moisturizing becomes more important because the delicate balance of your skin’s sebum and moisture levels need to be maintained lest you start producing more sebum to compensate for the lack of moisture…

To Test Or Not To Test

I’ve been catching up on my news and article reading when I came across this article on the New York Times regarding the often misleading ‘Cruelty-Free’ labels seen on many cosmetic products. I’ve always been one opposed to animal testing and it’s been a while since I last saw any products without the ‘Not Tested On Animals’ stamp…

Porcelain Face Spa (Singapore): A Facial Revelation

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…

Jurlique Nurturing Mask

With winter comes a slower cellular renewal rate that can lead to clogged pores and breakouts despite the supposed lack of sebum. However, using strong clay masks can dry your skin out further and lead to even more uncomfortable skin. So what’s a boy to do? Do what I do and go the route of a gentle yet effective all-rounder…

Caudalie Beauty Elixir

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…

Le Petit Marseillais au Beurre de Karite et au Miel Conditioner

As all of us with curly hair know, if there’s one thing you don’t do is skip the conditioner. Well, I was very naughty to my hair and was doing just that for about a week and a half due to various reasons. I’m studying abroad and trying to be careful with the cash flow, so first thing I did when I ran out of the conditioner that I brought with me was buy a cheap one. What a mistake; after using it, my hair didn’t feel conditioned at all. Then when that ran out, I didn’t buy anything for two weeks…
