Beauty intel: Philosophy, iWhite, Estelle & Thild

MIX FOR YOUTH. Say goodbye to signs of ageing with the new ultimate miracle worker night from Philosophy. Promising to rejuvenate the skin while you sleep, the multi-functional product comes with a nourishing cream and a separately packed serum to maintain the freshness of the active ingredients. When mixed together, the skin is infused with a potent combination of the brand’s Multi-Rejuvenation Complex that helps deliver active and stable retinol directly to the skin cells to stimulate skin renewal; and the Patented Mix-in Pearl Delivery System, which contains active plant cells from the iris flower to help improve collagen synthesis, boosts cell regeneration. S$120, available at all Sephora stores.

FLAUNT YOUR PEARLY WHITES. Want to achieve brighter and whiter teeth in the comfort of your own home? It is possible with the new and innovative range of whitening solutions from iWhite. Free of Hydrogen peroxide — a known cause of gum irritation, teeth sensitivity and enamel damage — the line consists of the Instant Whitening Kit (S$49.90), Instant Whitening Toothpaste (S$9.90) and Instant Whitening Mouthwash (S$10). These three products boast “triple action” whitening technology that ensures results in only 20 minutes, thanks largely to the use of whitening molecules that break down chromatic pigments and eliminate stains, bioactive crystals (which form a layer that leads to an instant whitening effect), and bioavailable calcium deposits that help remineralise teeth for a thicker enamel layer to reveal less of the underlying yellow dentin. Available at all Guardian and Watsons stores.

CLEAN AND FRESH. Adopting a good cleansing, exfoliating and detoxing routine makes for a good skin foundation. This is why one should check out the new cleansing line of products from Stockholm-based skincare brand Estelle & Thild. The Silky Soft Cleansing Milk (S$38) is ideal for dry skin and has anti-inflammatory properties of black elderflower and nourishing aloe vera. The Radiance Micro Polish (S$47) helps buff away dull skin; and the Deep Cleansing Detox Mask (S$57) draws out impurities and toxins with its bentonite clay formula, while black elderflower calms and softens skin as it decongests pores. Available at all Sephora stores.
