MOISTURE-PREP YOUR SKIN
Kiehl’s Calendula & Aloe Soothing Hydration Masque ($62) is a rinse-off gel mask designed to soothe and help heal skin. To be used after cleansing and toning, it promises to leave skin soft and smooth too. This pre-serum hydrating mask also has a cooling effect on skin that is especially refreshing in our warm climate. This golden-hued concoction (it gets its colour from the calendula petals in the formula) is free of parabens and safe for all skin types – dehydrated, sensitive, fatigued... you name it.
DOWN THE GARDEN PATH
Formulated for younger skin, K-beauty brand Mamonde uses ingredients from flowers such as hibiscus, camellia, magnolia, honeysuckle and lotus (all grown in its own garden) to churn out skincare that helps tackle concerns ranging from dull skin to UV damage. Plus, if you’ve watched last year’s K-drama hit Doctors, you’d have noticed its lead actress Park Shin-hye, who’s the brand’s ambassador, pouting her way through the show in the brand’s Highlight Lip Tint in #06 Pin Spot.
THE ONLY SIX-PACK YOU’LL NEED
Made from 100 percent natural bamboo fibre, which requires one-third less water to grow and is hence more earth-friendly than cotton, Origins Flower Fusion Hydrating Sheet Mask ($5) allows you to look good and do good.

[Rose] Replenishes moisture for that healthy-looking glow.
