We can always trust Happy Skin to produce beauty items that double as skincare. This year, it came out with the Sun Booster Duo comprised of the Hyaluronic Sun Serum SPF 50+ PA ++++ and its solid format, the Invisible Sun Stick Broad Spectrum SPF 50. The Happy Skin two-in-one SPF and serum stick can soothe, hydrate, and moisturise skin with its ceramides, cica, and hyaluronic acid composition. It does not only protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays but also shields users from blue light technology caused by light from digital screens.
The serum features panthenol that maintains the skin’s soft and supple quality, heartleaf extract that aids in healing and regeneration, and niacinamide that reveals spotless and radiant skin.

4. Highlights: Colourette Cosmetic Shimmertint
If you feel you’ve put on enough makeup, the Shimmertint from Colourette Cosmetics will make you think again. Long-wearing, lightweight, and buildable, this multi-use liquid highlighter comes in various luminous shades perfect shades for all skin types.
5. Anti-ageing serum: Happy Skin Bakuchiol + Peptide Oil Drops Serum
If you think retinol does not work for you, try this anti-ageing Bakuchiol + Peptide Oil Drops Serum from Happy Skin! In the past, Bakuchiol had been used for traditional medicine, but it has recently gained attention in the beauty and skincare industry for its potential skin-enriching properties.
Bakuchiol is believed to have similar benefits to retinol as it also stimulates collagen production, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and improves skin texture. This ingredient is also considered more gentle and less likely to irritate the skin.
Nothing beats a specialised skincare regimen from a medical professional! Consult your trusted healthcare provider to ask which suits you more—retinol or bakuchiol?
6. Sunscreen (for beach trips): Ellana Cosmetic Clean Screen
We can’t get enough sunscreens, can we? If you’re going on a beach trip, make sure you have the Ellana Cosmetic Clean Screen in your pouch! The formula is heavier than the usual sunscreen, which makes it water-resistant. The product also doubles as a skincare product as it contains green tea, chamomile, and rosemary extracts.
7. Face powder: BLK Cosmetic Airy Matte Perfecting Powder
Say goodbye to oily face! Try this Airy Matte Perfecting Powder from BLK Cosmetics. The product, which hides pores and brightens skin, can be applied on the centre of the face to bring dimension, control oil, and prevent creasing.
