Beauty intel: ORBIS, NIVEA, Biore, LUNASOL

RESERVOIR OF MOISTURE. You may take brilliant care of your skin, but sometimes, it can’t retain the moisture it has received. Enter ORBIS Aquaforce Series, a three-product offering that aims to cultivate your skin into a reservoir of moisture, steadily collecting water in the corneal layer and boosting the absorption of moisture in skin. The Aquaforce Mild Wash (S$20) gently removes impurities and exfoliates dead cells; the Aquaforce Lotion (S$23) fully hydrates while activating skin’s natural moisturising function; and the Aquaforce Moisture (S$26) is an oil-free hydrator that defends the skin against environmental irritants. Available at ORBIS stores at Robinsons Orchard and #01-46 Junction 8.

IN-SHOWER HYDRATOR. Tackle your dry skin woes with NIVEA In-Shower Skin Conditioner, a body lotion that offers a hassle-free way of moisturising while in the shower. Apply - then rinse it off - immediately after washing off your shower gel, and what you’ll be left with is skin that feels and stays hydrated and soft all day long. Retailing for S$7.90 at Watsons, Guardian and supermarkets island wide.

CLEANSING ACTION. Suited for dry skin, Biore’s Marshmallow Whip Extra Moist Facial Wash contains 800 per cent more micro-bubbles so that the cleanser penetrates deep into the pores to thoroughly remove oil and dirt. The 40 per cent serum ensures you get that extra shot of moisture. Retailing for S$13.90 at pharmacies and supermarkets.

A CELEBRATION OF COLOURS. LUNASOL is commemorating their 15th birthday with a cool limited edition 15th Anniversary Makeup Palette, which includes six beautiful beiges for the eyes, cheek colours, pressed powder, lip colours and mascara. Most convenient to tog along when you’re on the move. Retailing for S$165 at LUNASOL counters.
