4 Skincare Tips for the Holidays | How to take care of your skin in Winter and Summer

Having grown up in a tropical country like Singapore, I longed to live in a country that has 4 seasons. You may ask, "But why?" I guess its pretty much due to the fact that Korean dramas portray how romantic Autumn and Winter can be. Having said that, does Winter Sonata and Autumn in My Heart comes to mind?

Since moving to a country with 4 seasons isn't quite possible in the near future, the next best way to experience other seasons apart from Summer would be to plan a holiday!

HABA Squalane Beauty Oil review

Haba pure roots squalane

What is it:

Saturating squalene, which is already present in various tissues of the human body, produces Squalane, an essential constituent. HABA has developed a high purity of squalane (99.9% pure), made from the liver of deep-sea sharks containing a high percentage of squalene. Because of the high purity there is no fear of harmful oxidation and application protects from ultraviolet rays and moisturizes to prevent dryness and chapping which results in a finer, more textured skin. It softens the skin drawing moisture from lotion deep into the skin cells.

Orbis Cleansing Liquid review

Oil Cut Cleansing Liquid N Facial Cleanser Moomin Limited Edition Design

What is it:

ORBIS's best-selling product, Cleansing Liquid was born in 1997. It overrides the stereotype of oil-based cleansing, where oil is expected to be a requirement in skin-cleansing regimes.

The term 'Oil Cut', often found in ORBIS' range of products, draws inspiration from the complete disuse of oil in its skincare range. ORBIS hopes this concept will convey the fresh, water-based, smooth and comfortable characteristics its skincare products possess.

If you are following me on Instagram, you probably would have seen the rainbow agar agar cake that I made for Grandpa's 84th birthday along with Mommy's guidance. 

Laneige 6-in-1 BB Cushion review



 

When Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion first came out in 2012, my cousin, Si Ling tasked me to get it for her during my Korea trip. If you haven't already know, she's a Korean beauty fanatic and she's the one whom got me into Korean skincare and makeup products. If I didn't remember wrongly, I paid about 34,000 KRW, approx SGD 39 for a Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion with 1 refill.

 

Plus, my partner in crime, Joanne has the most flawless skin ever. I remember asking her what base makeup product she uses and her answer was, "Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion".

 

Given the positive reviews, I just had to try Laneige 6-in-1 BB Cushion to find out if it is worth the hype.
