Dior Prestige Cleansing Balm, Sugar Scrub and Micellar Foam

Tatler Asia

Makeup removal doesn’t get any more luxurious than this.

Dior Prestige has revamped three of its products for greater efficacy: sugar scrub Le Sucre de Gommage; cleansing balm Le Baume Démaquillant and micellar foam La Mousse Micellaire.

Through this three-step Dior Prestige ritual, makeup removal can also be used as a prelude to skincare application. Use the Le Baume Démaquillant to remove impurities by dissolving and cleansing them; then applying a foaming product such as the micellar foam La Mousse Micellaire (or the new soap bar Le Savon) to double cleanse. Finally, use the sugar scrub Le Sucre de Gommage as an exfoliant twice or three times per week to gently exfoliate the skin for an illuminating effect. 

Available at all Dior Beauty boutiques and counters and online on Sephora.sg and Tangs.com.

The History of Whoo Bichup First Care Moisture Anti-Aging Essence

Tatler Asia

As much as you may try to resist, there is something special about beauty products that are packaged beautifully. Luxury Korean skincare brand The History of Whoo is one that constantly outdoes itself when it comes to exquisite packaging. Now, it has launched the eighth special edition of its signature The History of Whoo Bichup First Moisture Anti-Aging Essence.

Presented with an exquisite painting of fully bloomed peonies on white celadon porcelain (a symbol of royalty), each bottle of the eighth edition of The History of
Whoo Bichup First Moisture Anti-Aging Essence is painstakingly hand-crafted and hand-painted in Korea by elderly artisans using traditional porcelain craft techniques.

The bottle also reinterprets and celebrates the beauty of royal culture; the motif of the vibrant royal peony paintings was commonly seen on folding screens used during
celebratory rituals of the royal family and signifies vitality. Like white celadon porcelain, the peony-painted folding screens were only allowed for use by the royal
family and its historical significance allowed it to be on display in the National Museum of Korea.

The History of Whoo Bichup First Care Moisture Anti-Aging Essence is an anti-ageing essence suitable for all skin types and gently soothes the skin and aids in the absorption of products. Apply it right after cleansing, and allow the skin to soak in the luxurious soft texture of the essence completely. What's special about this product is it is extremely versatile and can be used in the morning or in the evening. Its detoxification properties also allow it to aid with acne care. 

Available at Takashimaya and The History of Whoo counters in limited quantities. Also available as part of The History of Whoo Bichup First Moisture Anti-Ageing Essence White Celadon 8th Edition Special Set.

It contains concentrated hyaluronic acid and an exclusive moringa extract to help the skin retain moisture and help restore the skin’s natural water and oil balance for a glow-up.

Bskin Eye Care Multi-Tasking Power Serum

Tatler Asia

Here is an eye care solution for those who want fresher and youthful-looking eye contours. The Bskin Eye Care Multi-Tasking Power Serum is a cocktail of potent, clinically-proven active ingredients such as Adenosine, 4 different types of peptides, Niacinamide and Sea Daffodil extract that target signs of ageing in the most delicate area of the face: skin laxity, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, dryness and dark circles.

The serum is also infused with the brand’s proprietary B2O complex (an exclusive complex of bee-based ingredients such as natural extracts of honey, royal jelly, propolis, pollen and Jeju spring water) to protect and strengthen skin. The lightweight gel-serum formulation is easily absorbed into the skin and fully hydrates the entire eye area to maintain suppleness throughout the day and night. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It also does not clog pores or cause milia seeds (a common problem faced by those who use eye products that are too rich) to form.

To use the serum effectively, apply it around the contours of the eye. Gently pat it in along the under-eye area with your fingers until it is fully absorbed into the skin. 

Available on the Bskin.
