​When I was a child, my mum used to explain how we need to protect our skin from the sun because dark spots will appear when we’re older. Amusingly, she blocks the sun from her face using her arms, and I always wanted to ask what if the dark spots appeared on her hands. I never did though, as it was sure to trigger a lecture.
 
My aesthetics doctor goes on and on about UV protection and how we need a broad spectrum sunblock of at least SPF50 even if we intend to stay indoors when I usually just rely on the SPF30 in the liquid foundation. 

​Lancôme’s new product, the UV Expert Youth Shield™ incorporates this promise of a “safe zone” into a new skincare ritual. Dedicated to city dwellers, it’s a defence against  pollution-induced dark spots and signs of ageing.
 
Meant for all skin types, the texture is extremely lightweight and moisturing at the same time. It promises to deliver nutrition and hydration to every dermis, and is an effective protection against UV rays and air pollutants. 

My usual skin care routine steps:

• Toner
• Hydraulic Acid
• Eye Cream
• Serum
• Moisturiser
• + UV Expert Youth Shield™, Aqua Gel SPF50 PA ++++

Followed by makeup base:

• Primer
• Concealer
• Liquid foundation / Cushion (SPF here)
• Loose Powder

 

​The texture of the Aqua Gel is amazingly light and easy to spread.

Matcha always has this psychological effect on me thats associated with tranquility. 

Fuente De Coffee is a 34-year-old brand, and the Matcha Milk Tea uses 100% pure natural green tea leaves to grind. The product underwent SGS Inspection to ensure that it does not contain pesticide residues and food safety is guaranteed. No artificial flavoring, artificial coloring, nor preservatives are used, and its sugar-reduced formula makes the milk tea treat guilt free. Best of all, the Matcha Milk Tea is enriched with anti-deuterated catechins and dietary fiber to help maintain gastrointestinal motility and increase gastrointestinal good bacteria.

This mid-day treat is amazingly simple to prepare, simply add 300ml of warm water or warm milk, stir well, and its ready for  consumption. Voila! 

​To retain abundant catechins, do not brew with hot water above 50°C. When I'm at work and use the hot water dispenser, I simply allow the water to cool slightly before adding the contents of the satchel. Its a great mid-day pick-me-up.
