Did you know that similar to our facial condition of having oily skin and dry zones, otherwise known as ‘Combination Skin’, our hair can also exhibit mixed behaviour like oily roots with dry ends, known as ‘Combination Hair’? Basically it is a combination of two different conditions which require two different products to target the issue. Sounds tedious don’t it?

Truth to be told, I hardly treat myself to any professional facial sessions, mostly just massages and spa. I don’t understand how facial packages can be so overpriced and I thought my range of facial care products at home were sufficient to maintain a good skin condition, until research proven that gentle treatment can better uphold and improve both skin and body health. Facts were further proven after I visited Skin Shape Club.

Extracted from Cacao bean, Cocoa butter is known to be a superfood for skin and widely used in body lotions and moisturizer. Cocoa Butter Formula; the #1 formula, is one of Palmer’s key offering in its wide range of skincare products. And I have with me – Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion to review on.

Another green parcel arrived recently. Having helped received these parcels on my behalf, my mum have grown to be more excited than me about what comes in it. When she saw the benefits of Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil listed on the box, her face lit up.

Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil is a multi-purpose skin perfecting dry oil for face and neck. It is a concoction of 10 kinds of Pure Oils – Sweet Almond Oil, Sesame Oil, Coconut Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Apricot Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Argan Oil, Rosehip Oil, Camelina Oil and Sunflower Oil. All these oil work synergistically to deliver the anti-aging nutrition your face requires for healthier, young-looking skin. While additional ingredient: Retinol and Vitamin C helps to increase production of collagen and speed up surface cell turnover, preventing aging and helping to brighten and even skin tones

For usage, I use up to 2 drops of the oil for each application and apply evenly onto my face and neck. Although this is an oil-based solution, it is promptly absorbed into the skin upon application thus it does not feel uncomfortably oily. My mum has been (still is) going through this beauty regime for a week and the result is undoubtedly noticeable! Both image features her left profile. Her dark spots has lighten and the smile line is not as harsh as before anymore. Personally, I feel my skin tighten up from long-term application of the oil.

All you have to do is purchase retail-size Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil ($29.90) from online store or from physical stores. After which, pose for a selfie with the Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil and post on Instagram with the hashtags #Palmers #PalmersSg #PalmersSTOFace

Asience is known for formulating hair products catering to Asian hair. I could still vividly remember their television advertisement projecting an Asian woman with long silky, rich black hair. I used to envy people with silky long hair and even resort to hair rebonding which did gave me silky hair (temporary). Even blow drying of my hair didn’t give my complete silkiness until these came into my mailbox the other day.

Asience has brought upon us a new generation of hair care product with their innovation hair care concept, the Beauty Serum. Youthful-looking hair is now achievable with this Beauty Serum, completed with six natural ingredients:

This improved hair care range is available in two variants – 1) Inner Rich: For dry, frizzy and unmanageable hair. 2) Nature Smooth: For oily scalp and tangled ends.

I have with me the Nature Smooth range, as too much blow drying has caused me a head of semi-dry hair with tangled ends. This range of hair care helps to resolve issues of having an oily scalp and yet dry and tangled hair ends.

Both the shampoo and conditioner’s solution comes in a milky cream shade and carries a luscious fruity/floral fragrant which stays on even after rinsing off. Even just by shampooing, I could comb through my hair without any tangles at the hair ends. Without blow drying, my hair still dried up to a silky smooth texture and appearance, and my scalp wasn’t oily even hours after bath. The result was visible, touchable and satisfying!

Both shampoo and conditioner are priced at $14.90 (480ml), $7.95 (200ml) and you can get it at all western pharmacies, leading supermarkets, and personal care stores. You can also redeem a sample of this product here.

Many a times I stare at my reflection in the mirror and wish for a sharper chin, a smaller face, something to enhance my appearance. I believe this is a familiar scenario among majority of the ladies. Thankfully, I was given an opportunity to experience ClearSK® V-face Shaper treatment!
