[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] MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask

Have you experienced tired eyes after working? Or getting dry eyes after staring your phone or computer?
I do, as my work requires me to work with my laptop. On top of that, I often wear contact lens, which result in drier eyes. Not only dry and tired, it is always hard for me to fall asleep at night as my brains got too stressed out at work. I believe most of us working adults are experiencing the same problem. Tired and dry eyes that lead to lose of sleep at night thus, our health deteriorates.

I try to avoid using my laptop after working hours to allow my eyes to rest and myself to de-stress from work. I always have this problem if I use my laptop or phone right before I go to bed, I'll never get a wink the whole night. Besides taking a break from work and laptop, I will usually go for long walks to relieve the stress in me. This allows me to relax and recharge myself for my own wellness as without relaxing and recharging myself I can't concentrate on work as I feel tired all the time. Still, this doesn't work 100 % of the time and I have been telling myself it is time to head back to doing yoga for healthier lifestyle (obviously that didn't actually worked out T_T)

Even though I get to relax after work and during the weekends, in between working hours I am still unable to get some rest for my eyes. People always say take a 10 minutes break after staring at the laptop, comp for an hour or so, allowing your eyes to take a bread. But at my workplace, even taking 10 minutes won't do any effect as there are no trees outside my windows.

Alternative to the rescue!

With MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask, I can now take a break, let my eye rest and recharge for the rest of the day. And all I need is 10 minutes to feel alive again. I've seen these on the shelves at every drugstore in Hong Kong and it is well-received by the beauties in there!

All I need to do is to place the mask over my eyes for 10 minutes and the mask will do its wonders during that period. It will self warm to a comfortable 40℃, with heat spreading to gently envelop my eyes. Steam produced from the heat moistens the skin area around the eye and relieves tired eyes.

It really does wonders as I like to use it everywhere I can as it is convenient to bring around, even on a flight to my destination. Even my dad loves to use it as he drives around daily, has dry eyes, this makes it is harder for him to concentrate on the road. So every night, before bed he would too, use MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask to help his eyes relax and recharge for the next day.

Besides on the go, before sleep, I will also try to sneak a mask during office hours to recharge my tired eyes. Especially when I'm using the computer for long hours, I will definitely have a box in the office, ready for me to recharge. As my eyes gets stressed out easily, using MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask helps in relaxing for work.

But the best time for me to use is before sleep, as the comfortable warm makes me feel relax, allowing my eyes to relax its muscles and ready to go to bed.

Places and time you can use the Steam Eye Mask

MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask comes in 4 variants and each box contains 5 pieces:

For people who are sensitive to aroma, the unscented one is the best choice, even though the aroma of the rest is not that overwhelming. I personally like the Chamomile-ginger aroma as it gives a lovely scent that allows me to sleep better at night after use. And after using the mask, I always find that my eyes looks more awake and brighter instead of looking like a dull ducky.

And the Steam Mask looks pretty, I don't have to worry looking like a weirdo when I use them at work or on the go. Pretty purple polka dots, and it is easy to use.

Lovely purple polka dots

Tear the earloop section apart and you can use it. The eye mask will warm once it is in contact with the air, just nice when I use it, it is warm for my eyes. *smells the air*

Tear the middle section

Hook over the ears to ensure that the steam mask won't drop off

After usage, I can just dispose it easily and it is so convenient.
