I was invited to experience facial at Clarins Skin Spa recently. I gotta admit, I was excited and worried at the same time. As you probably know, my skin hasn’t been at its greatest recently and a facial is probably much needed. On the other hand, I was worried that the facial could cause my skin to be even more sensitive or even purge majorly.
Based on my understanding towards Clarins’ products, I figured that it is unlikely that I would develop major sensitive reaction from the facial although I did reminded my beauty therapist to go easy on my skin.

The temperature has gone up and the sun is shining bright in this little island of ours. It’s time to block the UV rays out of our precious skin unless we want premature aging!

(Left to right)
1. Elizabeth Arden White Glove Extreme Brightening UV Protector SPF 50 PA+++ (S$79)
2. Shiseido Multi-Defense UV Protector SPF 50 PA+++ (S$59, to be launched in June)
3. Clarins UV Plus Day Screen High Protection SPF 40 UVA-UVB/PA+++(S$74, available in tinted and neutral versions)
4. Kiehl’s Ultra Light Daily UV Defense SPF 50 PA+++ (S$68 for 30ml).
Several skincare companies have launched their power UV defense products recently. I have gotten hold of the offerings from my favorite brands, as you can see from the above picture. One blanket statement that I would like to make having tried all 4 products is that these sun screens are all pretty decent, although they are priced towards the higher side. So the question is, which one gives you more bang for the buck?

Recently, there have been an avalanche of whitening product launches by various beauty brands. I was told that the March-April period is the beginning of the “whitening season”, probably because summer is approaching and sun protection becomes essential.

As most of you probably know, I have been using Shiseido White Lucent series on and off for a year now. I will also share with you 2 ranges of whitening products concocted specially for Asian skin types from Clarins and Elizabeth Arden in this post.
