ACHIEVE CLEAR, GLOWY SKIN

We often think about protecting our skin from the sun, but forget that long-term blue light exposure from our smartphones and computer screens can cause skin damage, too. Shield your skin against photo-ageing with the Laneige Radian-C Cream that promises to brighten and even out your complexion by targeting visible and non-visible spots. Vitamins C and E in the formula guard skin from UV rays and promote healthy cell growth. This will is said to remove spots and boost collagen production at the same time. At $68 (50 ml), at all Laneige boutiques, department counters, Lazada Singapore, Shopee, Zalora and Sephora. Visit laneige.com.sg

RESTORE AGE-REDUCED HA LEVELS

Crow’s feet, nasolabial folds and marionette lines are skin ageing signs that are also caused by decreasing hyaluronic acid (HA) levels in the skin. This production begins in our 20s and starts accelerating in our 40s, which is why our skin texture and elasticity take a hit over time. Support your skin’s natural HA reservoir with SkinCeuticals’ HA Intensifier, a multi-beneficial gel serum made of pure hyaluronic acid, proxylane and purple rice extract, for smoother, more supple skin.

DETOX AND DESTRESS

As part of our skin, the scalp is vulnerable to toxin build-ups that can affect the health of our hair over time. This is caused by a myriad of factors, such as from hair dye, perming, and even the weather. Beijing 101’s Advanced Meridian Scalp Detox Treatment gives the scalp a soothing massage using essential oils and a customised hair mask to help boost circulation, improve healthy hair growth, and reduce stress and headaches, too. At $644 a session. Visit beijing101hair.com.

COLLAGEN LIFT-ME-UP

Wrinkles form, whether you’re a night owl or always baked in the sun, due to a lack of moisture, making the skin sag and appear dull. To give skin a firming and moisture boost, try a collagen supplement like Kinohimitsu J’Pan Collagen Diamond 5300 Drink. This contains 5300 mg of easily absorbed collagen peptide, which will help restore radiance and minimise signs of skin ageing. Visit sg.kinohimitsu.com
