THE CLEANSE
In 2017, Shiseido launched WASO, a botanical skincare range inspired by a holistic Japanese food tradition of Washoku. The Reset Cleanser Squad is the newest addition to the range, designed to detoxify the skin like juicing cleanses the body. Coming in eco-friendly packets, these oiland soap-free formulas pack plant extracts, agar jelly scrub and a Seaweed Moisturizing Complex together to gently dissolve pore-clogging impurities without stripping the skin. It comes in a set of three “flavours”: Wild Garden, with okra extract and anti-ageing beta carotene; Good Vibes, with energising plum extract; and Romantic Dream, with antioxidant-rich kiichigo (sour berry).

HEALING HIDEAWAY
A sanctuary in an otherwise buzzing corner of Orchard Road, Damai Spa is like an escape back to old-world Asia with healing philosophies rooted in Chinese, Malay and Indian traditions, fused with European techniques. A notable highlight at the spa is its use of Damai Signature Blends (customised aromatherapy blends based on specific needs) for its treatments. Try Calm to Revive and Renew, which is an energising mix of may chang, rosemary and peppermint to ease respiratory problems, sore muscles and rheumatism. The spa has also introduced Kerstin Florian’s natural skincare for all its facials, including OxyGlow, which uses oxygen infusion and antioxidant-rich ingredients to reverse premature ageing, while the C2 Signature facial harnesses the antiageing powers of caviar and collagen to reduce fine lines.

RED ALERT
Beyond being a creator of shoes, Christian Louboutin is an artist, one who views his beauty and sartorial masterpieces as objets d’art, built upon philosophies of sculptural extremities, ergonomic design and covetable decadence—qualities that can also be found in Christian Louboutin Beauty, which is finally available in Singapore at Tangs (not just online anymore). Think everything from the signature red lipstick shade, Rouge Louboutin in Satin, Velvet Matte and Sheer Voile Lip Color lines; to the Tape à l’Oeil Eye Color in 12 metallic and matte shades. And of course, Nail Color, with 29 hues housed in that dramatic eight-inch bottle inspired by the tallest heel Christian Louboutin ever created, the Ballerina Ultima.
