Got oily or acne-prone skin?
MISTY-RIOUS THING
You might not know this, but when you apply skincare with your hands, there is usually wastage, bacterial contamination and uneven application. But all of that can be minimised with Irén Skin Vaporizer, a spray-on serum that deploys nano-sized nutrients that absorb quickly and penetrate deep into the skin. Want to shave off precious minutes from your skincare routine? This spray-and-go solution is just what you need.

KNOCK IT DOWN
If you’re starting to struggle with fine lines, rough skin and an uneven skin tone, it’s about time you try the Belif Youth Creator- age Knockdown Bomb. With regular use, this non-sticky serum improves skin texture and minimises the appearance of enlarged pores, so your skin will not only be firmer, but also smoother and more radiant. It contains no mineral oil or synthetic preservatives, so you don’t have to worry about any nasties.

POWDER POWER
There’s a reason why Suisai Beauty Clear Powder has been ranked the number one facial wash in Japan for three years in a row: it gently but effectively removes impurities—reducing blackheads, acne and the appearance of pores—and allows your skin to absorb skincare products better after every wash. Plus, it comes in individual capsules, so it’s super easy to bring along to the gym or on holiday.

CLUB SPECIAL
Swatch’s latest Club Special release was designed by Shanghai- based artist FLABJACKS (aka Ton Mak). This playful watch features a rainbow-hued dial with a pair of eyes staring out, and a band printed with dozens of tiny faces (according to the designer, the watch is called WHAT’S YO FACE to prompt the person wearing it to find a face like his or her’s on it!). Multi-coloured and oozing with personality, it can really jazz up any work outfit.
