LANCÔME UV EXPERT YOUTH SHIELD™, AQUA GEL SPF50 PA ++++

7/23/2018

 
​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.

​The Singaporean urban lifestyle exposes our body to all sorts of environmental aggressors, and city air is polluted with fine particles, ozone and toxic gases, which makes fresh air not good for our skin at all.

Lancôme UV Expert Youth Shield™, Aqua Gel SPF50 PA ++++
​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. 
With the introduction of the UV Expert Youth Shield™ Aqua Gel into my routine, which I apply after the moisturiser, I skip the application of the primer and have enhanced moisturiser and SPF coverage. 

The personal choice to skip out on the primer is because on top of promising ultimate multi-skin protection and hydration, the UV Expert Youth Shield™ Aqua Gel also mattifies the texture of your skin, which renders the primer unnecessary.

​These photos were taken around the same time in the morning after I’ve washed my face and have nothing applied. Although the pimple around my nose got worse, I found that my skin seems clearer and feels lighter. 

​Perhaps its due to the protection of the UV Expert Youth Shield™ Aqua Gel that reduces oxidative damage caused by the duo of UV (UVA and UVB rays) and pollution (Sebum peroxidation decreases by 93%), but I’ve decided that I’m keeping it in my routine for sure.

Fuente Coffee Matcha Milk Tea [Sample Store Review]

7/19/2018

 
One of my favourite things about Sample Store is how they have a wealth of products from all over the world. Im sure I'm not the only person who's guilty of purchasing products only to find it unsuitable, leaving the entire box stashed until the expiry date. 

Over the past weeks, there have been many Taiwanese products on the Sample Store platform, with many attractive beauty and F&B products that are just irresistible. In the Seventh week, they launched Perfect Concept's Advanced Anti-aging Repair Essence and Matcha Milk Tea by Fuente Coffee.

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.
Tea brewing always brings to mind the scene in Red Cliff where Lin Chi Ling went to visit Cao Cao's camp and boiled water to brew tea. Water that's too hot basically scalds and destroys the benefits of tea. 

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.
