Is there a moisturiser that’s suitable for use in both tropical and dry winter climates?
Sueann Chia, 24
There are moisturisers that can be layered onto your favourite products to give you an extra hydration boost. Look for hyaluronic acid as a key ingredient because it’s nature’s most perfect moisture magnet.
What’s a quick way to achieve a sunkissed look?
Tan Mei Ling, 21
Try applying a peach blush on the apples of your cheeks and blend it upwards. Peach looks best on medium skin tones, while fairer tones can go for pink.
Will using an exfoliating cleanser be too much for the skin?
Jeannie Lim, 25
If it’s a cleanser, it’s meant to be used daily. Our skin sheds dead skin cells every day, so regular exfoliation helps to prevent clogged pores, minimise dullness, and boost the skin’s natural radiance.
Why does my compact makeup leave a cakey finish?
Bernadette Tham Sock Kheng, 26
It could be due to accumulated dead skin cells that have not been exfoliated, and which then contribute to clogged pores and an uneven makeup finish.
I’m afraid that matte lipsticks are too drying for my lips.
Marian James Leong, 22
Choose a lightweight liquid lipstick for a modern matte finish and a moisturising formula for all-day wear.
