I can't live without music, and most of the time, I'm plugged in.

Therefore, a good pair of earphones is pretty much important and undoubtedly it's one of my everyday essential.

Even if you have dry and sensitive skin, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the luxury of using product without fragrance. Esemtan products come with mild fragrance that help to bring smile to your daily wash, making you enjoying every moment – keeping you refresh and happy!

Almost a million people in Singapore suffer dry and itchy skin. Ordinary soap can actually make things worse. And rapidly growing bacteria can cause serious health problems. Some non-soap cleansers kill the germs, but they also wash away your skin’s natural protection. 

Here, meet Esemtan Wash Lotion and Skin Balm, and learn about their benefits!

*Disclaimer: I don't have sensitive skin to start from, so I'll be reviewing based on how I felt about the products for normal skin.

Whether we like it or not, sunscreen is a must for all of us!

A 2014 Benchmark Survey commissioned by Kao Singapore revealed a surprising find - that only 30% of women between the age of 12 and 49 years old use a sunscreen daily.

What is even more startling is that this number has remained unchanged for the past five years even with the introduction of more sun care products over the past few years. Based on this worrying trend, it is apparent that women in Singapore do not consider protection against UV damage a priority.

This year, Bioré aims to change that.

Check out this video on how sunscreen makes a difference to your skin.  

Artist Thomas Leveritt recently setup a special UV motion camera in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park with the intent of filming random passersby. Ultraviolet rays have the ability to expose not-yet-visible changes to human skin, namely freckles, that turn even the most unblemished faces into dark explosions of dots. Leveritt installed a monitor above the camera so people could instantly see the results, and then to heighten the effect, supplied them sunscreen in a vivid demonstration of why you should probably never again step outside without it. 

For a start, Bioré has introduced its complete range of new and enhanced sunscreen products, offering the highest level of UV protection recognised in the industry – SPF50+ and PA++++ rating (previously PA+++).

Bioré’s enhanced UV Series is your perfect shield against skin woes that could be easily prevented, like sun spots, wrinkles and freckles caused by damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Time to come clean! Everyone knows how important it is to remove your makeup off and the good thing is, what takes 15 minutes to an hour to put on, takes only about 5 minutes to take off.

Regardless of wipes, cleansing oils, foams or any other type of makeup remover, my holy grail must be able to remove stubborn waterproof eyeliner and mascara and leave my skin supremely clean and soft.

Here's my new favourite from Bioré, the No.1 Makeup Remover Brand in Japan.
