YES TO SUPPLER SKIN!
We can’t get enough of the recently enhanced Astalift Jelly Aquarysta ($148 for 40g). It still has the same great texture, but the active ingredients now come in an even smaller molecule size, allowing for easier, more effective absorption. This nourishing moisturiser also has ceramides to strengthen skin’s natural barrier and keep it hydrated.

Even better: It has no artificial colouring or preservatives, making this a nutritious treat, too.

COOL RUNNING
When it comes to running shoes, you’ll love a versatile pair that works for different types of training. The Skechers GoRun Ride 5 ($159) is built with sufficient midsole cushioning to handle long-distance runs. At the same time, the cushioning is firm and provides good rebound during sprints. Plus, the upper is stretchy enough to accommodate wide feet. Mesh panels at the side help feet stay dry and comfy throughout.
GET GLOWING
Cushions are still all the rage, and the Belif Moisture Bomb Cushion ($55, in three shades) is the latest to join the fray. We love how this lightweight foundation gives a dewy – not oily – finish that lasts all day, plus it boasts SPF50/ PA+++ protection from nasty UV rays. It also claims to keep skin moisturised around the clock – perfect for girls with drier complexions!
