Extended periods of time that you stay indoors because of the Covid-19 lockdown could lead to skin damage.
For example, too much screen time can cause aging, so wearing SPF inside your home is important. Our panel of makeup maestros have worked their magic on celebrities and the social set. Here they share their recommendations for skincare products.
CLARENCE LEE recommends Alpha-H Gentle Daily Exfoliant
“Exfoliation is good for healthy skin but at the same time, it shouldn’t be harsh on the skin. This is one of my favourites. It does its job with fruit enzymes and not abrasive grains.”
ELAIN LIM recommends Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum
“I like serums as they absorb well and lock in moisture without the stickiness. I have been using this as my primer before moisturiser. It is also a perfect medium for my facial massage. It helps to tone and firm up my skin, like a home-based spa treatment as all the spas are closed during the circuit breaker period. I’ve even posted a video of it on my Instagram page. Another good reason to use it is that it is also paraben-free.”
KENNETH LEE recommends Chanel La Solution 10 De Chanel
“This is a very soothing, comforting moisturiser that works very well with sensitive skin.”
MARC TENG recommends Fresh Seaberry Moisturising Face Oil
“For me, this face oil moisturises like no other face oils I have tried. Used overnight, the skin is significantly plumped in the morning!”
PETER KHOR recommends Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Serum
“I recently started using this and it has become one of my favourite skincare products! I love its camellia extract with micro-droplets which are perfect for hydration and gives the skin an intense plumping effect.”
SAM ONG recommends Sisley Supremya At Night The Supreme Anti-aging Skincare
“I love its soft texture and a pleasant scent. Best part is that I don’t need much as a bottle can last me four to five months. It brightens my skin and brings the glow back. In a few days, skin feels rejuvenated and looks dewy.”
SHA SHAMSI recommends Chanel Sublimage Les Grains De Vanille
“This Covid period serves as a nice break from my daily busy schedule. To pamper myself, I love using the Chanel Sublimage range, in particular this scrub with vanilla seeds. It’s like being transported into a luxurious spa within my bathroom. The scent is divine and it exfoliates my skin into an even luminous glow.”
SHAUN LEE recommends Cle De Peau La Crème
“I love the lightweight texture of this night cream; although creamy, it’s not greasy. It helps to illuminate my skin and reduces fine lines. Use it at night so skin feels rejuvenated, smoother, and firm in the morning.”
TG GOH recommends La Prairie Skin Caviar Essence-in-Lotion
“The 100 percent caviar water hydrates and maintains my skin’s elasticity. It refreshes and preps my skin for better absorption of other skincare products.”
YUAN SNG recommends Ya-Man Medi Lift Mask
“I chose this EMS (Electrical Muscle Simulation) beauty gadget as its suitable for daily use to lift and depuff the facial contours of the face. Make sure there is enough product like lotion, serum or gel between the electrodes and skin. If your skin becomes dry, turn the power off, remove mask and apply additional moisturiser.”
