Wash Away Your Oily Skin Concerns! https://nsman.safra.sg/wash-away-your-oily-skin-concerns/ Tue, 27 Jul 2021 04:07:25 +0000 https://nsman.safra.sg/?p=12356 4 everyday cleansers to help your face go from oil slick to clean & sleek.

The post Wash Away Your Oily Skin Concerns! appeared first on eNSMAN.

]]>

For those of us with an oily face condition, combination skin or facial skin that tends to such an “oleaginous” state, living in tropical SG isn’t exactly a boon. While we may not have to worry about getting enough vitamin D from the copious amounts of sunshine available here, we might feel extra dirtied, oiled-up and uncomfortable given how the heat and humidity might worsen our greasy skin situation, resulting in any of many problems. A super-shiny appearance, increased sebaceous production and excess sebum, congested pores, bacteria buildup, and even zit breakouts are but some of the daily troubles you might, well, face. One way to deal: Wash your countenance every day with the right kind of cleanser. While you can stick to your usual or “traditional” cleansers, it’s best to use ones that are made for oily, combination or acne-prone skin types as these specialised “cleaning solutions” are formulated to treat such conditions, while other products may contain ingredients that could aggravate your skin or exacerbate your oily skin problems. Here are 4 facial cleansers to try to keep you looking less slippery and slimy, more clean and happy.

Photo: VIIMART

Sébium H20 (500ml), $41.90, Bioderma

Some of us may be real busy folks, and sometimes, at the end of a long day at work or taking care of the family, all we wanna do is to just hit the sheets, without bathing. We hear you and we understand you, but do at least clean up your face with this here micellar cleansing water. Just apply it to some cotton pads and wipe your face gently; it promises to clean and remove makeup without the need for rinsing. What’s more, this makeup remover’s created for combination, oily and acne-prone skin; it’s part of the French brand’s Sébium range that’s formulated with its patented Fluidactiv to help with regulating sebum and prevent clogged pores. Enriched with purifying agents, zinc gluconate and copper sulphate, it cleans skin, limits its sebaceous secretion and is even developed to mimic skin’s natural composition, so it doesn’t dry out your face as you Zzzz away.

Willowbark Face Wash (125ml), $11, ManCave

Okay, so this one’s made for the dudes and is not made specially for oily skin, but is marketed as a traditional, lathering sulphate-free face wash that actually does the job of eliminating excess oil, removing skin debris and more. It’s a “manifold” product (geddit? “Man-i-fold”?) from the brand’s problem-solving range: deep-cleansing, detoxifying, refreshing, hydrating and soothing. How the gel does this: It contains the natural astringent, willowbark, that has anti-inflammatory, conditioning properties; the natural antioxidant, green tea, to help cleanse and detoxify; and the anti-inflammatory antioxidant, spinach extract, to aid in nourishing and invigorating the skin. Enough talk; just get to work on your face with this multi-tasker.

Sebo Vegetal Purifying Cleansing Gel (390ml), $30, Yves Rocher

This fresh, clear gel (it’s just the bottle that’s green, just so you know) does the job for peeps with normal to oily and combination skin – meaning it’s great for sharing with the fam if your loved ones have any of these conditions and since it comes in a larger family-friendly 390ml bottle. This vegan product is mineral oil- and silicone-free, and purifies skin by gently removing excess sebum, impurities and makeup. The best bit? It comes enriched with a rebalancing Canadian Boreal Tea powder, that works to control shine (the not-so-nice kind that results from an oily face), neutralises the appearance of imperfections and refines your skin’s texture by mattifying it. A good one to use before stepping out of the house, then.

Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser (150ml), $40.97, Kiehl’s

If for some reason you just don’t like the idea of using any product with any kind of oil as an ingredient on your face (though it could be beneficial, but that’s another beauty and grooming story to be told another day), here’s your go-to cleanser. A quick-lathering foam that’s tailored for those of us with normal or oily skin, its lightweight, sulfate-, paraben-, fragrance- and colorant-free formula (making it safe and gentle enough for sensitive skin, too) is developed to help to get rid of impurities and excess oil without over-drying. But, what is present in this to enable you to look more refreshed, and your mien, more balanced: Imperata Cylindrica (Desert Plant extract) to aid in providing hydration, and antiseptic and astringent lemon fruit extract to freshen and stimulate.

Shampoo Away Your Ageing Hair Concerns! https://nsman.safra.sg/shampoo-away-your-ageing-hair-concerns/ Wed, 21 Jul 2021 06:00:20 +0000 https://nsman.safra.sg/?p=12199 5 haircare heroes to help save your greying and thinning mane.

The post Shampoo Away Your Ageing Hair Concerns! appeared first on eNSMAN.

]]>

It happens to the best of us; one day, you have full-coloured, shiny, luscious locks, the next day, you start noticing strands of greys and whites peaking out from an increasingly dull and less verdant mop. Okay, maybe not the next day, but definitely one day – for some of us, it could have already been yesterday or yesteryear. Don’t worry your pretty little head about it (stress is a supposed factor for hair loss, after all), there’s one simple way to try and ameliorate what age does to our crowning glory: Shampoo. Start with these 5 hair cleansers that target ageing hair concerns such as thinning and greying… then work on accepting ageing gracefully with whatever that may result.

Blue Malva Shampoo - Aveda

Blue Malva Shampoo (1000 ml), $122, Aveda

Acceptance is one of the wisest ways to deal with growing, well,  more mature. So, might as well embrace whatever colour your hair is now and is going to be in the days to come. This product is all about taking good care of your greys by adding more glossiness and even a glint of silvery brightness to it. Made with wild-crafted and sustainably-gathered blue malva (blooms used for balancing your hair and scalp) and organically grown bluet (a flower known for its colour-intensifying properties), it’s a gentle cleansing shampoo infused with the brand’s own pure-fume aroma with certified organic ylang ylang, lemon, eucalyptus and other pure flower and plant essences so it smells as nice as it is tender to your pate. And, it’s also effective in neutralising brassy tones for all shades (especially blonde hair) as well as for chemically treated tresses.

Classic Gray Shampoo - American Crew

Classic Gray Shampoo (250 ml), $22, American Crew

Here’s another product for grey and greying hair, but tailored for men. Formulated by this leading brand in men’s grooming for regular use, it contains a violet colourant for removing yellowing, brassy tones (due to minerals in the water, impurities in the air or product buildup) that can detract from the gorgeousness of your greys, as well as hydrolysed milk protein to help reduce dryness and wiriness, and smoothen out a possibly unruly rug.

Hair Loss Wash (250 ml), $28, Australian Bodycare

If you are suffering from a plethora of conditions such as thinning hair, receding hairlines, very fine and thin follicles, or even hair loss, this unisex cleanser could be your all-in-one solution. With its special complex of active ingredients, Capilia Longa (an all-natural and plant-based hair growth formula made from the curcuma longa plant or turmeric) and tea tree oil, the shampoo can aid in strengthening and thickening your willowy strands. Suitable for everyday use and all hair types, simply massage the wash gently into wet hair, leave it on for 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse it out.

Volume & Substance Gel Shampoo (300 ml), $18, Yves Rocher

Grown to love your hair even if it has grown less dense, but still want to look good because, you know, vanity? Then maybe you might want to try a volumising product such as this one. What it does: Adds substance to the hair fiber and boosts hair volume to create the appearance of fullness. Thanks to the ingredients, quinoa (it helps to texturise and plump up) and Agave fructans (cosmetic extracts to activate micro-circulation), this light, silicone-free gel promises to clean and strengthen without weighing your hair down so there’s more mass, not a wispy mess, atop your head.

Genesis Anti Hair-fall Fortifying Shampoo for Oily Scalp/for Dry Scalp - Keratase

Genesis Anti Hair-fall Fortifying Shampoo for Oily Scalp/for Dry Scalp (250ml), $43 each, Kérastase

If you figure that your hair feels weaker and worse-for-wear because of a temporary issue (due to stress, a bad diet, too much product use, too much hair drying and tying, etc.) and less a permanent age-related problem, then you could do with a cleaning product that can aid in strengthening your hair shafts. This shampoo from a tried and trusted name in all things “hairy” comes in two versions: one for oily scalps and one for dry scalps. The former is a delicate gel that clarifies gently and removes oil build up, while the latter’s a creamy cleanser that provides moisture to nourish dry hair; both containing a complex of Aminexil (a vasodilator used to treat hair loss), Edelweiss native cells (from the hardy Edelweiss flowering plant) and ginger root extract to help support your follicles’ health and reinforce their fibres to reduce hair fall due to breakage.

It goes without saying that since the skin is the human body’s largest organ (with a total area of about 2 square metres), there’s lots of it to protect from UV rays, pollutants, dry air and whatever else that it’s exposed to, and treated for any kind of condition it suffers from, such as dullness or dryness. And, it’s not just the face that you ought to care about – your skin extends all over your being, too. Which means you should pay the skin on your body with the similar amount of attention that you pay that of your mien’s. Start smoothing, nourishing, hydrating and protecting with these 5 body moisturisers (pick your fave formulation of a cream, lotion, gel or even a cream-to-powder) to keep your body, skin and also, mind, healthy and happy.

Yves Rocher Energizing Body Lotion – Raspberry Peppermint

Energizing Body Lotion – Raspberry Peppermint (390ml), $22, Yves Rocher

If you’re feeling a little low on your personal “battery” level these days, this bodycare product can help boost your energy. The French brand’s panel of experts (a unique grouping since 1959) formulated this “bodylicious” and invigorating lotion with peppermint essential oil (so it smells refreshing enough to wake up your senses) and a raspberry extract (for hydrating the skin and to add an element of fruitiness to its scent), as well as organic fair trade shea butter and organically farmed aloe vera gel (for smoothening your skin). And, if you love the fragrance, you can layer it up with the brand’s Energizing Raspberry Peppermint Hand Cream (click here to read up more about it).

Sanctuary Spa Wet Skin Radiance Jelly

Wet Skin Radiance Jelly (200ml), $18, Sanctuary Spa

You know how that fantasy scenario goes, the one where the apple of your eye emerges from the bathroom looking all clean, wet and extra sparkly? Well, it may be no fantasy no more – not because we can find you that special apple/person for you, but because this body moisturiser can help lend you (or your IRL bae) that glow. Designed to be applied on wet skin (to capitalise on the body’s peak moment of hydration), it’s meant to hydrate your body’s skin after you emerge from your shower or bath, and before you head out. How it works: The jelly’s SmartMoisture technology utilises two forms of hyaluronic acid to strengthen and seal the skin’s moisture, with an added botanical blend of AHA fruit extracts to gently exfoliate and a dose of vitamin B3 to brighten. How to use: Simply apply after your shower or bath, do not rinse it off, towel dry and off you glow, we mean, go.

Anthony No Sweat Body Defense

No Sweat Body Defense (90ml), $29, Anthony

The men do get it – a bodycare product, that is. This one by NY brand Anthony is developed for the dudes; it’s a natural, paraben- and talc-free anti-perspirant-slash-body treatment. Specially formulated to protect skin as well as your more delicate and sensitive areas such as inner thighs, chest, under arms and “down there” from discomfort, friction and chafing, it’s a handy product to slap on daily to keep you soothed and refreshed. And, it does this in a game-changing way: The lightweight cream turns to a powdery finish (thanks to the tapioca starch contained within) after application to help keep skin dry and comfy, with added all-natural aloe vera and vitamin E to calm and condition. It’s figuratively and literally, a no-sweat product to use.

Shea Ultra Rich Body Cream (200ml), $69, L’Occitane

If you have dry skin, then you should take more and proper care of it to help prevent further aggravation or exacerbation (think eczema). Pamper and treat yourself with this comprehensive treatment that contains a 25% concentration of organic shea butter (that’s why it’s called “ultra rich”), apricot oil (that’s rich in Omega 9 and vitamin A for nourishing skin), glycerin (to moisturise) and organic spring honey (to soften and soothe). One application promises to provide hydration and protection for up to 72 hours, with the cream being easily absorbed without leaving any greasy residue, so your skin can feel less parched throughout the day without feeling oily.

Love Up Your Hard-Working Hands With Scented Creams https://nsman.safra.sg/scented-hand-creams/ Wed, 07 Jul 2021 04:09:56 +0000 https://nsman.safra.sg/?p=11944 Moisturising your mitts can lead to smoother skin… and a better state of mind.

The post Love Up Your Hard-Working Hands With Scented Creams appeared first on eNSMAN.

]]>

Most of us try and take care of our skin on our faces and our bodies, but what about our hands? Some use any old one-size-fits-all moisturiser to apply on and take minimal care of them, others find that there’s no point smearing any cream because it will either be rubbed or washed off, while most of us just plain forget about them. Your palms, thumbs, digits and also mind deserve better. Using hand creams not only target and deal with specific concerns of the skin on your hands (it tends to be rougher, drier, or has a possible different condition than that of your face or body, so, no, your face moisturiser or body lotion doesn’t necessarily work for your hands), but can also help you protect and nourish your “claws” better for prettier paws.

And, what of your mind, then? It is well known that smells do affect our mood, so using scented hand creams can help with boosting our energy levels, calming us or letting us feel just that little bit happier – it’s inevitable that we will sniff a whiff while we weave our hands around as we go about our day. Not convinced? Then try these 5 scented hand creams to see how a little moisturising magic can work wonders for your hands and on your mind.

Yves Rocher Energizing Raspberry Peppermint Hand Cream
Photo: Yves Rocher Facebook

Energizing Raspberry Peppermint Hand Cream (30ml), $8, Yves Rocher

This is a little life hack that beauty insiders know about. Sometimes, when you are experiencing the midday slump while working, you can actually kill two birds with one stone by applying some hand cream, to keep your extremities protected and moisturised, with the scent from the product helping to wake you up. This one is bound to do both, pretty well; it’s got peppermint essential oil so it brings about a shot of freshness and boost your alertness, coupled with the fruity tang of raspberry extract for that extra delish perfumed perk-me-up. The beauty bit comes from these two ingredients plus the ever dependable fair trade, organic shea butter, with the formulation being mineral oil and paraben free, and vegan (meaning its made without animal derivatives). And, if you really want to be fully charged up throughout the day, you can layer it up with the body lotion and shower gel from the same fragrance range and top up with this hand cream wherever, whenever, since it comes in an easy-to-port-around 30ml tube.

Molton Brown Hand Care Set

Hand Care Set (3 bottles, 40ml each), $45, Molton Brown

Why we recommend this box set: It features a bundle of three different hand creams (so you have a personal variety or the option to share with family members), with each coming in 40ml tubes (so they are easy to use when you’re on-the-go). Pick any one of the three scented creams to use, according to your mood of the day: Fiery Pink Pepper (pink pepper, ginger and patchouli), Orange & Bergamot (Mandarin, neroli and musk) or Heavenly Gingerlily (ginger, tuberose, lily, sandalwood). All are enriched with shea butter and plant seed oils such as meadowfoam and sunflower, to help condition and nourish equally well.

NEOM Calming Hand Balm

Calming Hand Balm (100ml), $36, NEOM

Stressed out, frustrated or tensed up with the whole WFH or HBL arrangement because your home’s not exactly the most conducive work or study environment? Keep calm, dab some balm and carry on. How to use this: Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto the palm of your hand, cup and warm the product with both hands, before massaging it into the skin. Following which, cup your hands over your nose and mouth, breathe in through your nose for 7 seconds, then out through your mouth for 11 seconds. Its blend of lavender, jasmine and sandalwood essential oils should help to ease your mind, while the cocoa and shea butter contained within should help to soften your hands and smooth out the rest of your day.

The sun’s very “enthu” these days, and so should you when it comes to defending yourself against the harmful UV rays. While most of us would know of the more common sunscreen items for the face and body that we either use on a daily basis or for when we are spending prolonged time for work, sporting or play activity outdoors, there are suncare products out there that are specially developed for all the other parts of our body. Try these 5 here (along with your usual sunscreen) to make sure you are totally armoured up to deal with that fireball in the sky.

SPF25 Anti-Pigmentation Hand Cream, $32.50, ultrasun

The one part of the body that people use most often but forget about while out braving the rays? The hands. Yes, your hands do show damage caused by the sun’s rays as well as signs of age if you do not care for them enough. Luckily, this product’s not only made to protect your digits and palms – it’s marketed as a moisturising, anti-ageing and anti-pigmentation hand cream – and, it’s also safe to use. How safe? It’s free from SLS, fragrance, PEG, parabens, glutens and phthalates, and is also hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, vegan and suitable for pregnant women, too.

SPF50 UV Face & Scalp Mist, $32.50, ultrasun

Here’s another super useful product from the ultrasun brand; this one’s made for the face as well as scalp. It’s a convenient spray that you can spritz all over your countenance and also on your scalp, parting and hairline (unless you are wearing some form of headgear, your head’s a prime target for the sun, too). And, since it is lightweight, non-greasy, fast-absorbing, quick-drying and transparent, you can wear this over any facial or cosmetic products and top up on this sunscreen spray whenever you need to. Another plus: It contains Infraguard, the brand’s antioxidant complex that fights against light-induced skin ageing, and other effects of blue and infrared light on skin.

Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF15, $36, fresh

Watch your mouth when you’re out there, and by that, we mean keeping your lips moist, soft and guarded against the sun.

What’s more, these balms are a treat for your kisser, since they are infused with nourishing precious oils and moisture-preserving sugar with a citrus scent.

We did mention that suncare products are for every body, and some of the most significant members of your family body are the children.
