[Sponsored] DrShape® 3D Spot-On Slimming - LaserSlim

Got a little fatter ever since I came back from my Korea trip last year and after coming back from my Japan trip, my weight went up a little more on the weighing scale *sob*. I was lucky to be given 3 trial sessions of Laser Slimming treatment by ClearSk Medi-Aesthetics.

This is one of their slimming programs to get rid of stubborn fat, which is especially designed for Asian bodies. This program, Laser Slimming uses powerful laser beans to induce leakage of fat globules from the adipose tissues. In layman terms, to breakdown the fats using laser beam. After which, the fats are naturally drained out through the body's lymphatic drainage system. As I've understood, is to either pee out or sweat it out.

I had this treatment at their Novena Medical Centre outlet, and they have two units, side by side, to cater to more customers.

Reception area

The reception area is nice and cosy, even if you arrived earlier, there are magazines for you to browse through while waiting.  I arrived at my appointment time and was ushered into the treatment room before I could grab any magazines to read.

Got into the treatment room and first measurements had to be taken. The states were pretty horrifying to me since the last time i measured was before my wedding and that was nearly a year ago. After looking at the stats for my waist, I've grown about 2 inches, dear lord, no wonder my s size shorts feels damn tight.

In the room, Joyce, the consultant, explained the treatment to me, where they started off with Lipo machine using the laser light to break down the fats in the tummy area (that's for me). It uses gentle laser to break down fats, mimic photo-bio-modulation to stimulate your body’s natural process for breaking down and releasing stored content in the fat cells, and followed by laser vacuum drainage to enhance the removal of released fat cell contents

Machine Used 

The four small box-like shaped are the laserlight to break down the fats.

This is how my fat tummy looks like

The box-light items are then placed at the sides and the front of my tummy to maximize the light used on the surface area that is required.

Looks liek dumpling 

I felt like dumpling for that moment. *haha* You can see the laser light from those box-light applicators. It wasn't hot or anything for me, just lied there and wait for it to do its magic.

After the laser light, it was time to drain the fats out from the body, or rather, to flash them out from the body. Since it has been broken down, the fats still needed some rolling to be flashed out.

The roller has a suction in the middle whereby it is supposed to suck on your skin and roll along the area for draining effectiveness. Before the rolling begins, Joyce applied a gel cream for easy application of the roller.

The gel cream applied all over the body.

Joyce rolling the applicator

This process was rather ticklish and painful for me, as Joyce required to use more strength so that the suction works better and she could roll off the fats better. However, there were certain places that were just slightly on top of my bones, so it kinda hurt when she rolled over the bones. :( She went gentle after I feedback to her that she was rolling on the bones. (haha) 

I was told to drink lots of water to drain out from either sweat or pee. It is best to drink plain water and lots of plain water. Quite effective I would say, as after each session I get a little peeish. *haha*

1st Session Before treatment and 3rd Session After treatment

I could see the results after 3 session, which is 30 minutes in total. After the treatment, I saw a lost of 2 cm around my waist area. Not a lot but 2 cm is quite a bit for a lazy bum like me. I even had durian before my last session (opps).  I was still rather bloated right after the 3rd session and was still peeish after peed. But after the third session I could feel the slight different when I'm wearing my clothes and my weight went down too. Not a lot, around 300gs  but it is still a significant weight lost after 30 minutes of treatment. 

LaserSlim is very good for stubborn soft fats around the waist, thighs and bottom. I've got too much soft fats for years, especially at my thighs area. They are the hardest to remove, even squats can do that much to tone them but not to remove them completely. I've tried going to gym before to reduce my weight, but somehow the fats still remains flabby.... until i lost quite a big of weight due to water actually. The fats just remains there, softer but still unable to remove them. 

LaserSlim is an effective treatment for: 

• Soft Fat Reduction 

• Tummy / Love Handles Slimming 

• Bottom / Thighs Slimming 

• Arms Slimming

This is best combined with Ushaping to shape the body for better results as LaserSlim removes the soft fats but not shaping the body. For people who are worry, there are no side effects to this treatment as it does not require any surgery and the laser light used are safe.  Also, ClearSK does not restrict your diet even if you are doing the treatment.

Besides slimming treatment, ClearSK has other treatments for wellness and beauty. Founded in 2008, ClearSK®'s mission is to be the trusted partner to our clients in their pursuit of beauty and wellness, using medical technology to make our clients look as good as they feel at any age.

[Sponsored] Palmer’s Stretch Mark Spray Lotion

Recently Palmer's released a new product after its last great product that I've reviewed two months ago. Their latest product targets on people who have stretch marks, and I am one of those who is in need of this product. Like I mentioned in my last post for Palmer's, their main ingredient for all their wonderful product is Coco Butter! So why Palmer's focus on using Coco Butter for all their products? It is because they believe that it is the superfood for our skin as it contains high oxidants that our skin needs.

Founded in America in 1840s, Palmer's has been around for a long time and since then it has become one of the world’s leading names in skincare, a brand that women around the world have grown up with. Their unique heritage and commitment to quality has stood the test of time. Generations of families have loved the fantastic moisturizing qualities of Palmer’s skincare range, and millions of women around the world agree. Palmer's number #1 formula, the Cocoa Butter Formula, is one of their key offerings in their wide range products. They do not just specialize in facial care but also in hand and body care, stretch mark care, hair care, body care and personal care.

And always remember, Palmer's is against animal testing, which makes me support them all the way.

I've always have stretch marks since the time I went through puberty, probably from the fact that I grew fatter each year until last year where I slimmed down. But the stretch marks didn't go away, though I have this mindset that it would fade away when I get skinnier. *hahaha* Unfortunately, that is false. Palmer's got this video to show us the 6 things that we need to know about stretch marks. Very useful, as I didn't know men get stretch marks too. Or rather, I don't go around noticing if my brothers have stretch marks anot.

Palmer's Stretch Mark Spry Lotion aims to solve stretch marks issue, through moisturizing the skin 24 hours. With it as a spray, it targets hard to reach stretch mark prone areas, provides deep moisture, soothes dry itchy skin and supports skin elasticity in a non-greasy, easy spray application. Also the 6 key ingredients in this product targets at different cause of stretch marks.

Cocoa Butter: provides superior soothing properties and helps skin retain its natural moisture
Vitamin E: a natural antioxidant, works with the body's own cells to protect it from the harsh elements that cause rough, dry skin
Collagen & Elastin: improves skin elasticity, stretch-ability and firmness and leads to improvement in overall skin tone, suppleness and appearance
Centella Asiatica: a natural leaf extract, helps protect and revitalize collagen and elastin fibers. Widely recommended as an ideal ingredient for stretch marks care
Sweet Almond Oil: a non-greasy, super moisturizing emollient easily absorbed into the skin. Its antimicrobial properties help reduce the chances of scarring and markings on skin
Argan Oil: has twice as much Vitamin E as olive oil and is rich in essential fatty acids and vital antioxidants. Helps soften and condition skin while reducing scarring

So what is so special about the new innovation from Palmer's, Stretch Mark Spray Lotion? It is easy to use as it uses unique delivery system and Rapidsorb ® Technology which is non-aerosol based and uses NO propellants to deliver fine sprays which allow the lotions to be very quickly absorbed into the skin.

I think that is what I am looking for when I apply Lotion for my stretch marks as I do not want to waste time to wait for it to dry as it drys up in seconds. Bonus point, it doesn't leave greasy feeling or stain my clothes while I get dressed. The texture of the lotion is super-lightweight that I feel like I'm spray mist instead of lotion.

Those lighter lines are stretch marks :( 

So this is the back of my leg, the stretch mark are visible that you don't have to stand close to see them. *boo boo* So I've applied Palmer's Stretch Mark Spray Lotion for a few days.

On the first day of application, I over-sprayed, hence it felt a little greasy, as I didn't notice that it will spray out white mist. Oh ya, before I forget, you will need to massage the mist into in order for it to absorb into the fine stretch lines. And hold it 7-10 cm away for better results.

This is after about a week of application.

Not as visible as the week before

My skin feels smoother at that area and also it doesn't itchy that much as it does, as I do have dry skin (coz I'm lazy to apply body lotion sometimes). And because of its packaging, in a spray can, I can bring it out and apply when I need to. Especially in Singapore, where most of us work in an air-coned office, our skin tends to get dry easily that results in skin itch. I can spray it while I'm at work, in the toilet of course as this may result in slippery floors becoz of the mist. Even though it states 24 hour moisture, some of our skin tends to dry up faster than the rest, so having palmer's stretch mark spray lotion with us all the time resolves dry skins and provide better care of it too!

Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil is now available at leading pharmacies and cosmetic stores like Watsons, Guardians, John Little, Unity, BHG and leading cosmetic stores. It is retailing at $29.90/200g.

[Sponsored] My Beauty Diary Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black

My Beauty Diary has been around in the Singapore market for quite a couple of years and I remembered trying out their Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Mask. I loved that mask a lot as my skin requires a lot of hydration replenishing. I tend to get super dry skin every once a while, especially the nose. :( And since then it has rose up to being No. 1 Facial and Eye Mask brand in Singapore with their wide range of mask, targeting different ladies with different skin issue. 

To help ladies with different skin issues, even sensitive skin, My Beauty Diary has recently improved their formula, features and packaging. The enhanced mask range now features a uniquely patented ingredient - Cosphingo™ with long-lasting moisturizing property for improved hydration, enabling the skin to feel soft and supple like baby’s skin! Made of high-quality fine and smooth cotton fibres from Japan, the cotton sheet mask feels extremely gentle on the skin, and its exceptional absorption ability allows the essences from the mask to be thoroughly absorbed by the skin, enhancing its skin care benefits. Besides the quality of the mask, the masks are free from harmful paraben preservatives, alcohol, mineral oil, pigments and fluorescent agents, making it safe for our skins ladies! 

Besides having the enhanced mask range, My Beauty Diary have recently introduced a new range to their current wide range of mask. The New Black Mask Range is their latest line and it comes with three e exquisite variants - Black Obsidian Moisturizing, Black Rose Brightening and Black Pearl Total Effect Black Masks. This new range uses the mystical black ingredients to help eliminate skin pigmentation, unevenness and loose skin caused by UV rays and environmental impurities. It also helps in restoring uneven skin tone, enhance skin elasticity, leaving our skin rejuvenated, deeply moisturized with dewy radiance! QQ like baby skin, which what most girls wish for! Wells i definitely would want my baby skin backkkkk. 

What's so special about the New Black Mask range besides the wonderful black ingredients that helps in getting baby skin radiance and texture back are the two special features of this range that are shown below. 

The two special feature of the New Black Mask range

Conforming to my neck is something I will look for in purchasing a mask, as most of the mask are still the standard facial mask, it doesn't not moisturize all the way to the neck. This is one of my concern as our neck requires daily protection and replenishing too! Masking all the way till my neck covers my jaw line, where I tend to get dry and pimple breakouts *argggh* Especially on my left side of the chin, hence this mask comes in handy in conquering all my issues on my face and neck. And with the 3D Hyaluronic acid, it doesn't lose the moisture of my skin and my skin needs deep hydration. I've not come across any mask that has Yeast Compound and it is amazing to see my skin glow after usage due to the Yeast compound contain in the mask itself. 

Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black Mask

In this range I'm going to try out Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black Mask, which is suitable for normal skin types & especially recommended for skin requiring intense hydration and illumination. This is good for ladies who work in air-con office as our skin tends to get dry up due to the dryness in the air. (I think that's why my nose's skin tends to peel off once a while) 

Each box contains 5 pieces. Selling at $16.90/box. 

The Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black Mask contains Bladder wrack seaweed, Aloe vera, and hydrolyzed Jojoba, which are essential in improving hydration in our skin, allowing it to feel optimally nourished, revitalized with glowing luminosity. Also, to relieve dry, rough and irritated skin, enriched with numerous soothing ingredients like Calendula officinalis, Licorice are added in this Black Mask. Like the name of the mask, the France Black Obsidian helps to support the skin’s protective mechanism and enhances the skin’s hydrating power. The infusion of Laminaria digitata and sugar maple delivers intense hydration to the deep layers of skin to improve dry skin texture, revealing renewed and brighter skin.

My face before using the mask. You can see the dullness and the dryness near to the chin area

This is my skin before using the mask. You can see that the skin is a little dry and yes I have pimples and clogs on my left jaw line. *sigh* 

While applying the mask

You can see that the mask fits my face just nice, unlike some 3D masks that makes you feel like you have a face too small for the mask. Some of the masks just doesn't fit nicely on the face but this mask fits fine for my face. 

After using the Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black Mask

This is after applying the Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black Mask for 20 mins. My skin looks a little firmer, less dull, brighter and the pores looks a little smaller. D said my skin looks more radiant in real life even though he got shocked by the black mask. :p I am definitely applying this mask every night before I head to bed so I would look more radiant every morning! 

My Beauty Diary's New Black Mask range is now available at http://www.naturesmart.com.sg/, a box of 5 for $16.90.

[Sponsored Post] Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil for face

As we entered the third month of this brand new year, and about a week after Lunar New Year, I feel that my facial skin looks a little dull and wells, old looking. I think I've reached to the point where I should start to do daily face and neck massage, so that my face will look more uplifted and less wrinkles. Not that I have lots of visible wrinkles but smile lines are definitely too deep. :(

Skin Therapy Oil for Face

Recently, Palmer's have introduced a new product, Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil, which is a multi-purpose skin perfecting dry oil for face & neck. Probably something that can help in targeting my worried issues, as this is specially formulated to deliver targeted anti-ageing skin care benefits directly to the face and neck. I always remember my neck, which is important as most people tends to forget that their neck skin ages too! So whatever facial products you are applying on your face can be used for your neck too.

Founded in America in 1840s, Palmer's has been around for a long time and since then it has become one of the world’s leading names in skincare, a brand that women around the world have grown up with. Their unique heritage and commitment to quality has stood the test of time. Generations of families have loved the fantastic moisturizing qualities of Palmer’s skincare range, and millions of women around the world agree. Palmer's number #1 formula, the Cocoa Butter Formula, is one of their key offerings in their wide range products. They do not just specialize in facial care but also in hand and body care, stretch mark care, hair care, body care and personal care.

Some people may not like the thick smell of Cocoa Butter, I am one of them, but when it comes to Palmer's products, I'm willing to try as the smell is not over powering and they are effective. Besides being effective, they are still committed in creating affordable products so that anyone can have a chance to have the best skincare route.

Not tested on animals!Hooray! 

Why I like Palmer's products is mainly because they are against animal testing and their products are cruelty free. Plus most of their products are free of Parabens, Phthalates and Sulphates. I can rest assured that my skin isn't exposed to toxic ingredients. Also their key ingredients in all their skincare products includes Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Before using Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil

This is my skin before using the Therapy Oil, you can see that my skin is a little dry and I have smile lines that sometimes makes me look old *feels sad*. And my skintones are uneven, especially the second half of my face. *bugger* Can't see if my skin is dry though in the picture, but I do tend to have dry nose that's so dry that it starts peeling. :(

After using Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil

This is after using the Therapy Oil for massage, and the smile lines are less visible and my skintone looks brighter and not so uneven. My skins feels a little more moisturized and not so clogged up. Some people may have some concerns about the oil as one perceptive of Oil products is that it will clog your skin and it feels sticky after usage. After using, I can firmly say that Therapy Oil does not have that argh feeling even though it may be a little sticky on the side. Therapy Oil is actually a lightweight facial treatment helps repair past damage while restoring and brightening skin tone and texture.

It just roll off the back of my hand like water. 

It's so light that even before I squeeze it out from the applicator, it actually dripped a little, it's not the really Oily kind of texture. In order to achieve the balance to create an agent to help in perfecting our facial skin, Palmer's had combined 10 other natural oils besides their super natural beauty ingredient, Pure Cocoa Butter. The 10 natural oils are: Sweet Almond Oil, Sesame Oil, Coconut Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Apricot Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Camelina Oil, Rosehip Oil and Argan Oil, Sunflower Oil. These natural oil ingredients are known of soothing of oneself and when they are used together, they are able to work synergistically to deliver the anti-aging nutrition your face needs for healthier, younger-looking skin.

To combat anti-aging, Retinol, which is a natural derivative of Vitamin A is added in to help the body increase the production of collagen and speed up surface cell turnover. This also improves skin’s tone and texture helping reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles uneven skin tone and dark spots. Not forgetting Vitamin C, as we all know, it is a natural antioxidant responsible for the growth and repair of tissues and production of collagen. It also helps brighten and even skin tone and texture.

But again, this is not a for-all age skincare product. Yes I have reached to a level where I should be concern about wrinkles and dull skin tone, but I'm not at the age where I have to apply this daily. But for ladies who are 35 and above, this should be added as your nightly routine essential. As some of us may start to have deep smile lines but ladies 35 and above may start to see crow's feet. (opps) Time to try out how effective Palmer's SKin Therapy Oil for face, not forgetting your neck too!

Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil is now available at leading pharmacies and cosmetic stores like Watsons, Guardians, John Little, Unity, BHG. It is retailing at $29.90 for a bottle size of 30ml, which will probably last you at least 2-3 months with nightly usage.

[Sponsored] MU MIEUX COLLAGEN MU Nutrition+ by Mary Chia

I'm a collagen lover since I've passed the age of 25. Why since then? It is because our body starts to slow down in collage and elastin production by then that's why we will start to have wrinkles and saggy skin by age 35-40. NOOOO! I won't want to have saggy face and wrinkles by age 35. In order to prevent that from happening, I started to take in collagen supplements.

A box of MIEUX by MU Nutrition+

 So Mary Chia came out with this new product, MU MIEX Collagen MU Nutrition+, which not only provides collagen but also other supplements that our body needs. Besides containing BHN fish collagen to maintain the collagen level in our body, it also contain apple extract,Co-Q10, Ceramides, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Malic Acid and Maltitol.

• Improve overall metabolism and blood circulation
• Block/displace excess fat, sugars and carbohydrates consumed through daily diet
• Enhance overall organ functions

The 8 bottles in the box

This is so easy to replenish collagen and other supplements for my body. All I need is a bottle daily as each bottle contains 3000mg collagen which is the right amount that I need everyday. And I could see the effect of drinking this on the second week of consumption.

I felt great after consuming the whole box and my skin looks brighter. I can't comment much on fairer since my face is fair enough. Each box contains 8 bottles of 50ml MU MIEX Collagen MU Nutrition+.

[Sponsored] ClearSK® Aqua Acne Clear Renewal Facial

What causes acne? Usually it caused by dead skin cells that clogs up the pores, which results in oil glance stuck under those pores. Initially I thought cleaning our skins with just facial cleanser and applying toner would clean off those dead cells. But, I was wrong, as you can never completely clean those dead skin cells with normal daily wash.

ClearSK® Aqua Acne Clear Renewal Facial is the solution to prevent acne and cleans of dead skin cells. This treatment get rid of dead skins, maintenance of acne prone or combination skin, correction of acne marks/scars, reducing fine lines and balancing uneven skin tone.

I am glad to take up the treatment as I've learnt more about acne and dead skin cells. Our skins are usually clog with dead skin cells that we can't see with our naked eyes. So even if we cleanse our face with facial wash it is never clean, as the dead skin cells residue will still remain on our skin. They not only clog your pores that may result in acne, but they also slow down the process of the absorption from your skin care products.

My first treatment with ClearSK, I had a verbal analysis by their staff before I was brought into a small room. The staff, Jolene explained to me that the dead skin cells are removed using the aqua machine so that the pores would be clean throughly and allow them to absorb the essences better.

The machine that was used for cleaning the dead skin cells and serum application

During the cleaning process, I felt tingling of pain as Jolene was kinda "scrubbing" my face with the tube. I was informed that it may leave red spots after that. But thankfully mine didn't have any. After the cleaning, Jolene showed me the cotton that contained my dead skin cells and mainly were on my nose. *haha* I do have a lot of dead skin cells and clog nose. Next she applied three different serum through the machine. The first serum is to balance the PH level of the skin, the second one is to control the oil on the skin. And if there is no visible acne issues, the second serum would be applied on the T zone. The last serum is the hydraulic acid, this is to replenish the moist in the skin.

Once the application of the serum is done, the mask is prepared while waiting for the skin to absorb the serum and the mask provided is also to replenish moisture and to calm down the skin. As the skin may experience slight warmth and slight on treated areas. It was really soothing with the serum and masked applied that I fell asleep during the "mask time".

Once the mask is removed, the treatment is done. Jolene informed me that the skin required SPF30 and above when heading out as the skin is recovering from the treatment. Overall this treatment is satisfying as I can see visible results of cleaner skin right after the treatment and my skin does not have any red marks or discomfort from the treatment. I am happy that Jolene and Princess were able to provide me the information I needed about my treatment and also the after care.

This is the result comparing the most visible part, the nose.

Above picture is taken before the treatment and after the treatment. I'm showing the nose as that is the most visible part of the whole treatment in my opinion. *ahah* Basically the nose is cleaner than before.

After the first treatment, there was a slight breakout on my left chin, which is the part that is most venerable to breakouts. When I went back for my second treatment, I was told that it was normal as the clogs were ready to surface. But the acne went away after the second treatment.

After four sessions I can see that my skin have less dead skin cells, not as prone to acne. However, I do notice that I will need to continue with the treatment in order to clean away more dead skin cells as the most visible part on my face is my nose. So its like a long term treatment if I wanna prevent acne, and yes I'm acne-prone but not as back as back acne. *sob sob*

[Sponsored Post] Reduze Pro

Do you feel upset whenever you start to gain weight from work stress or a sudden change in lifestyle? I do, especially work stress, as I tend to gain a little weight from work. No one can deny that work stress makes them fat. This results in an unbalanced microflora that led to weight gain, excess fats storage and toxin.

But yet, we are unsure if those weight management products are effective as there are cases of weight rebound after stopping those. And people like me, are too lazy to have a strict diet and exercise, I must admit it is not easy to keep up with one.

I've gained a few kg after my trip to Korea and I was a little upset with gaining weight after losing from a change of work and lifestyle. Everyone is scare of rebound after losing that much. *haha* But with Reduze Pro, I don't have to worry about the extra kgs.

Reduze Pro helps in detox through the triple action formula:
1. Rebalance Gut Flora
2. Improve Digestive System

This helps in eliminating the toxins and waste in the body and also increase regular bowl movements. With daily toxin removed from my body, my skin gets cleaner, I have clearer complexion and I feel less bloated after food with Reduze Pro.  It also helps in burning the fats and flatten my tummy. In turn, my weight is reduced, as it also increase in satiety, as I will not over eat more than I should be daily.

Based on scientific research, Reduze Pro is 8x more weight loss, 52% increase in bowel frequency, 29% decrease in calorie intake and it has 20 Billion live probiotics per dose.

But of coz like, any other weight loss products, results may vary for different people.
For me, it may not be as fast as I want to, but I can see the slight significant weight loss after 3 weeks. There is about 1kg stable weight loss and my body feels a little more toned as compared. I crave lesser for junk food and I don't feel as hungry as before. My tummy is slightly flatten and I feel healthier about my body now. Great to continue on the weight loss program.

Direction of usage:
For normal effect, take 2 capsules once daily before food. For fast effect, take up to 3 capsules once daily before food. When the desired effect is achieved, reduce dosage back to 2 capsules daily.

[Sponsored] Tsubaki Hair Oil

I always have issue with dry and damaged hair. All started ever since I dying my hair like nearly 10 years ago, my hair hasn't been at its best stage. :( At times, it will get so dry that split ends appears and that annoys me much. So bad that I am afraid to use hair dyer to dry my hair.

I'm always searching for leave-on hair treatment that will repair my dry, flat hair that has split ends too. However, nothing much works well.

Shiseido came up with a new product, Tsubaki Hair Oil. This hair oil is formulated with high concentration of selected camellia oil to deeply protect, moisturise and repair your hair, resulting in a luxurious shine. Sounds amazing and I couldn't wait to give it a try.

Application of one side to show the results

I've decided to apply one side to compare if it looks better after applying. In the picture, you can see that the side without Tsubaki Hair Oil looks dry and damaged. The side with application of Tsubaki Hair Oil looks smoother. And the best part is, it doesn't leave any sticky or greasy feeling like most hair treatment products (countless products have this issue). 

And even after applying the whole day, my hair doesn't get sticky or uncomfy. This product also protects my hair from UV rays damage while preventing split ends and hair breakage. This is a must in hair products as many of us miss out in protecting our hair from UV rays. We only remember our skin protection but not our hair. Time to keep up with the protection. *shivers from bad memories of head sunburn*

Tsubaki Hair Oil uses selected Camellia Oil, which has a elegant and indulgent scent of floral and green fruity notes. I like how my hair smells after applying. *sniff sniff* The Camellia Oil used is produced in the Goto Islands in Nagasaki, the perfect location for producing quality camellia oil thanks to the warm climate, fertile soils, and other favourable conditions.

This Camellia Oil have shininess, protective care, moisturising and repair effects. 4-in-1, which are things that we always lag in protecting our hair. And my hair does have that shiny effect even after 6 hours. I am happy to find this product before my big day this month, can't wait to have beautiful hair that doesn't look dry and dull all the time. Plus, my hair tends to get super flat in the afternoon when the weather is too humid. *gah*

Application of the hair oil is quite easy.

■How to apply evenly 

To prevent irregular application, spread half the appropriate amount (about 20-cent coin size for mid- length hair) onto the palms and work through the hair. Then, spread the second half onto the palms and focus on areas that require extra application.

■How to prevent flat hair 

(Particularly recommendable to those who have soft and fine hair, like mine. I called it the stubborn hair)
Refrain from applying large amount inappropriately and unevenly. Start application from the damaged tips and gradually work upwards to the roots to avoid flat hair.

■How to reduce volume or prevent dry hair 

(Particularly recommendable to those who have thick and voluminous hair)
Apply an appropriate amount to wet hair and dry it with a hair dryer. Then, spread a small amount onto the palms and apply on bottom half of the hair to reduce the volume.
