  This will be my first time trying out Syahirah brand skincare. The one in my hand here is Syahirah Korean Secrets White Glow Brightening Essence. I have tried many essences from different brands before this. So, I was a bit skeptical about whether this one is just the same as others or different. Hahaha...to me all essence is the same.  I always have 3 skin problems : * Uneven skin tone * Dark spot pigmentation * Dry skin If I end up using the wrong serum or essence my skin will become super dull and make me look unhealthy and so sad. aisshhh... So, I am quite selective to try out such skincare. Worst if it irritates my skin. People! do a patch test on the other part of your skin before jumping into applying any skincare to your face or you may end up looking like a beast if it doesn't suit your skin. Anyway, today I am going to write a post about my honest review of Syahirah Syahirah Korean Secrets White Glow Brightening Essence for you. When Syahirah Glow Essence reached m...

    Hydration is most important and essential in maintaining healthy skin. A hydrated complexion looks more plump, healthy, and youthful looking. Having an adequately hydrated face will help to improve skin elasticity which will reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Additionally, hydrated skin also helps to combat oiliness. Dehydrated skin produces more oil because it is compensating for a lack of moisture. Dehydrated skin is also less resilient to environmental irritants. When your skin is fully hydrated, it is able to fight and flush out toxins more effectively because your cells are getting the maximum amount of hydration that they need to function at their best.   The best ingredient for hydration is Hyaluronic acid (HA), as it is natural, has a high viscosity, and is water-retaining. It retains water just like a sponge, to achieve the efficient water-locking effect. It is often used as a base for skin care.   Since the launch of Hada Labo in Japan in 200...

  Natural Plant Extracts and Hyaluronic Acids Moisturises and Calms Irritated Skin Humidity and hot weather can stimulate the secretion of sebum, resulting in oily skin. Oily skin is believed to be one of the main causes of acne. Wearing a face mask for long hours, which is a new norm now also contributes to skin irritation and can aggravate acne and pimple skin. There is a misconception that using a moisturiser on oily or acne skin would worsen the skin condition but moisturising works in keeping pimples and zits at bay. Skipping this critical step may cause dry, flaky skin which will bring about more breakouts. That’s why it is important that oily or acne skin gets properly hydrated with the right moisturiser. To offer consumers with oily or acne-prone skin an enhanced solution to their skin concerns, Hada Labo has introduced the Blemish & Oil Control Gel, an all-new moisturiser to keep skin smooth, clear, and healthy. Among highlights of the Hada Labo Blemish & Oil Contr...

  Hyperpigmentation is always one of my top concerns in life. I have a big patch on my right cheek which eventually converted to melasma. Gosh! seriously have a problem covering it up with concealer every time stepping out home. This is why you need to prevent the pigmentation and hyperpigmentation before it's too late. Recently, found local skincare start-up  encoriumⓇ which enhances Vitamin C with Tocotrienols to overcome these concerns among Malaysian. I am not well versed with chemical terms for skin care. I was told tocotrienols, vitamin E derived from red palm from our backyard are more potent than conventional vitamin E, tocopherols are enhancing commonly used ingredients to treat hyperpigmentation- L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). encoriumⓇ  launched its first product CE3 Brightening Buffet recently. The elegantly formulated serum made with multi-active ingredients contains 18% L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), tocotrienols,  tocopherols and ferulic acid. The brand's ...

In general, most people are advised to start using retinol in their mid-20s. Why do we need retinol for our skin? Well, this is because collagen and elastin production starts to slow down. Adding retinol into our skincare routine at age of 25 to 30 is the perfect time to slow down the ageing process. So, what is retinol that people are hyping about? In short, retinol is a topical product containing a vitamin A derivative. Technically speaking a type of retinoid which works to increase collagen production. It helps to treat acne, and blackheads and is also ideal to improve skincare texture such as minimising fine lines, and wrinkles and brightening dull skin. Personally, I am a beginner in adding Retinol into my skincare routine. At the age of 47 years old. I guess, am afraid to start one because I read many side effects if use it wrong.  What is the side effect if you use retinol wrong?  Retinols can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. So, it is advisable to apply th...

  What is the sign of sensitive skin? If you are having redness, itching, burning, stinging, tightness or even dryness - this means you have sensitive skin. There are many factors for your skin to change and become sensitive. Leading a hectic lifestyle and stress is some of the factors contributing to this change. I would say having sensitive skin would be unpleasant and annoying. If you have sensitive skin, don't go around using just any products to your skin. Make sure to apply suitable skincare for your skin to make it better. Since I am a huge fan of the Hada Labo skincare series, I would recommend Hada Labo+ Sensitive Hydrating for sensitive skin solutions. There is much range of Hada Labo skincare but Hada Labo+ is a specially formulated skincare range to target sensitive skin.  Hada Labo+ not only soothes irritation but also protects the skin from irritation as well as helps strengthen and repair damaged skin barriers. Hada Labo is well known for using the best ingred...
