[Sponsored] Esemtan Wash Lotion & Skin Balm

There are quite a number of strong wash lotion out that that may not be suitable for babies or certain people due to the chemical ingredients insides. Especially for people who have dry and sensitive skin, looking for a wash lotion that is suitable is not easy.

My skin condition falls under the dry and sensitive skin, which is why I used to use only bar soap to shower. However, bar soap doesn't provide enough moisture for my skin. I always end up scratching everywhere when I get out of the house.  It happens on certain time frame of my life but it has happened quite frequently these days.

Wash Lotion

Esemtan has the solution for people who have dry and sensitive skin. Founded in 1889 by Rudolf schülke and Julius Mayr, Schülke & Mayr GmbH belongs to pioneers of modern hospital hygiene and preservation.

The Esemtan Wash Lotion is a combination of fragrance and gentle lather, and it is effective in removing dirt and oil from skin. Also it protects the skin against irritation and supports the skin's natural moisture.

Not only for body, you can use it for face and hair too, suitable for all skin types besides dry and sensitive. It contains Allantoin, and it is pH neutral for the skin and soap free, it is very suitable for sensitive and stressed skin types. Esemtan Wash Lotion has passed strict skin sensitivity test and was approved by International Fragrance Association (IFRA).

Nice mild green colour

I've used Esemtan Wash lotion as my daily hand wash and body wash so far and it doesn't deplete my skin's moisture and oil. Most body wash I've used left my skin dry but unnoticeable until it starts to itch :(.  The light fragrance smell doesn't leave me overpowering people after my wash and I like the light textured smell. I feel refreshed after showers and it is so easy to use, plus I can save money without getting extra body wash and hand soap.

I've tried once on hair and it works wonders too. My hair feels cooling after washing, it is more of a remove-dirt hair wash. Since I do use other shampoo specifically targeted for different hair problems. Once is a while, to change shampoo to remove the clogs from the hair roots to let it breath.

It is really an all-in-one product and it is great that it can reduce the need to purchase different products for different parts of skin care.

How to use Esemtan Wash Lotion

How to use: 
1. Approx. 2-3ml Esemtan wash lotion to one palm.

2. Foth it by adding some water. 

3. Wash thoroughly. 

4. Rinse and dry.

Skin Balm

Esemtan also have skin lotion suitable for all skin types to, that is their Skin Balm. You can use it as a daily hand lotion and body care. It permeates deeply into the skin with oil-in water emulsion, and supports and cares for the skin to protect it from drying. It is also suitable for children's skin. It also contains added Urea as a moisturising agent and also to speed up skin cell renewal. It is also dermatologically tested and helps to reduce skin irritation and itch.

Esemtan also have mild-fragrance contain like the Wash Lotion, and it leaves the skin smooth.

Milky Colour

The Skin Balm looks a little thick on texture but it is not thick. Easy to apply and smoothed my skin after applying. I like that the fragrance is not strong (some hand cream have very strong fragrance) and it absorbs easily.  Leaves my skin hydrated and feels soothing. It doesn't have the sticky thick feeling after applying, a plus point as a hand lotion as most hand cream have thick texture due to the oil content to provide more moisture for the hands.

I was advised to apply Skin Balm within 3 minutes of my nightly cleansing and morning rinse for better moisturizing effect. After using it for a week, I feel that my hands are smoother and more hydrated. Less skin crack, which I had prior to my holiday trip last month.

How to use Esemtan Skin Balm

How to use: 
1. Apply on the back of one hand.

2. Rub and spread it gently.  

3. Then on the back of the other hand.  

4. Lastly the palms of the hands. 

For best results, it is recommended to use it daily, morning and evening after each wash.

[Sponsored] Skin Shape Club - Skin Shaper Plus Program

As much as I like to stick to my skin care routine daily, there are some problem areas that requires facial therapist to fix it for me. As we age, wrinkles will tend to from, even if we have taken ultimate care. For me, no matter how I take care, I still have a few problems, not because I didn't apply well enough, but because of the way I live.

I have horrible under eye ring due to lack of sleep years ago and wells I'm still sleeping late, not having enough hydration. You can see in the picture below:

This is my face before any treatment, please ignore the weird eye shapes

I guess most of us have their own facial issues apart from what I have, one thing is that I don't have visible wrinkles yet (nope, not yet). But it is always good to prevent it first before it appears. 

So Skin Shape Club has this program to target my problem areas, the program is known as Skin Shaper Plus Program. This program is for people who have dull skin, pigmentation, acne, wrinkles and enlarged pores issues, like mine (ticks nearly all boxes). So what is Skin Shaper Plus Program, it is a facial treatment that uses the combination of light and heat energy to rejuvenate your cells from deep within, renew your collagen cells and clear your acne. It is situation for most skin types and skin tone, but customers with darker skin tone will have to be consulted before proceeding the treatment, as they would adjust the treatment according to the condition for safe and best results.

The technology that is used for this program, LHE technology(Light & Heat Energy) is different from IPL and Laser treatment. LHE uses lower energy fluency as compared to the other two treatment and you can go for this treatment once ever 3-7 days.

So I was given a chance to try out this program, in a total of 4 session. Standard like most facial program, they have a consultation session where they will inform you about the treatment of the program, what maybe expected after each treatment and what are the visible results that can been seen right after the treatment.

I like the ambience of the place

The area may not be big, but I like the ambience of the outlet. Rather cosy and warm. Ginger tea was served and I had to change my shoes to the slippers. I was served by the manager, Cherie, who went through the details of the treatment annex with me.

I was told that my skin will may get slightly redness and warmth redness, dryness of the skin surface, which will go away after 2 days right after the treatment. There maybe transient pigment changes, depending on the skin condition, it can darken or lighten for 1-2 weeks. Right after treatment, I will see the indiction of skin texture improvement, skin tone improvement or pigmentation and acne treatment.

Besides doing facial treatment, they also have slimming program, that's where the weighing machine comes in. So I was tested for my biodata too.

The weighing machine that gives u all the results

It weighs my weight, height, fat%, fat mass, fat free mass and a lot of other stuffs. Cherie then recorded it on their biodata pamphlet and gave me a copy. Decided to mask off certain details, gosh, how I hate to weigh myself.

There, my biodata, but I've decided to cover up some of the KG details. (cries) 

When Ian saw this, he was like "miss, please get ur arse off the chair and start exercising, your fat% is higher than mine" ;_; After the consultation, it was time for the actual treatment. They have two treatment rooms.

Small but cosy treatment room, equipped with warm bed

It was nice to walk into the treatment room and see flower and a nice rolled up towel on the bed. Felt very welcoming and nice. Changed into the given robe and lied on the warm bed. It was nice to feel warm, but if you think that its too warm, they can adjust the bed temperature.

Before the treatment, my skin is cleansed and exfoliate then they used the LHE machine, for the treatment. The therapist, Audrey, then tested the light and heat technology on my right hand for me to adjust to the heat and light. Boy, the light was indeed bright.

Rather small machine I would say

The treatment is based on this machine where pluses of light and heat is then delivered deeply on the skin for collagen stimulation, tightening, brightening and acne control. As this treatment is suitable for eye treatment, I was a little taken back by the brightness of the light. My eyes are a little sensitive to bright light so this was a little scary for me. *hahaha* Audrey was patience when I got a little scared, as this treatment is also for the eyelid. But it got better after the first session. :p

This is the applicator where the light and heat source is administered from

I felt the warmth from the LHE application, which is actually not so bad, even though after a while it gets warmer but not the burning kind of warmth. After the treatment, I was given the skincare serum followed by a mask. I was told that after the LHE treatment, the skin is ready to absorb all the good stuffs easily deep into the skin. In total, the treatment lasted for about 30 minutes, good for people who work in town and for busy people who can't afford one and a half hours of facial treatment.

Taken right after the treatment

I think the most visible parts after the treatment was the skin tone and the acne. Not so much on the under eye dark circle in this picture. But the acne was less visible and not glowing red right after the treatment. Also my skin tone is more even.

This is the right side of my face, credits: Audrey for the photos

Please ignore the messy hair, my hair gets really messy easily. But the results are visible after one session. After the session I was led to their lounge area, and food was provided. The lounge area is very cosy and Cherie explained to me, this area is for the members to come and relax themselves.

Snacks I called it. 

It was nice to have some food after treatment and the place was so cosy that I could sit there forever if I hadn't made an appointment with a friend after the treatment.

It is so cosy and welcoming

After the first session, I was looking forward to the next session as I could see that my acne has gone down and it is no longer that red. Also, consistent treatment will help in maintaining the results of this treatment.

The LHE treatment kills the bacteria inside and acts as an anti-inflammatory and reduce swelling. My main concern right now are the acne around my jawline as I tend to get breakouts often there. Probably due to bacteria infection or others says, inconsistent diet.

Look at the lighten of the dark spots and the under eye dark circles. Credits: Jasmine and Audrey for the photos

Even though my acne have not heal yet (stubborn acne), but it doesn't hurt or swell as much anymore. I think the clog is probably dead inside, as it feels flatten right now *touches own acne*.

Before and after 4 sessions. Please ignore the fact that my face was a little bloated in the second pic. 

After four session, I can see that my under eye dark circles are cleared and also, my acne hasn't swell as much as before even though its still there. Another note was the marks on my on the right side, it has lighten quite visibly.  Pore are not as visible as before. After four sessions, I can see the effectiveness of LHE treatment.

Besides the treatment, what interest me the most of the concept of Skin Shape Club. It is a boutique wellness club, where members can learn more about beauty and wellness, besides receiving clinically proven skin and slimming treatments. Besides the lounge area where members can enjoy healthy snacks and skincare books and magazine, they also provide free Wi-Fi for members when they need to do their work there. They also organise works and talks for members.  The club concept is like gym membership concept, base on the package you've purchase, you can actually head down for treatment as many days as you like (depending on the therapists' schedules too). I think that's quite interesting, but for customers who are not keen in joining the membership, they have package  x sessions for them too. A very all-rounded concept.

Skin Shape Club is located at: 

#03-13/14 Orchard Central (nearest MRT - Somerset)

Tel: 6589 8331  

For new customers who are interested in this Skin Shaper Facial, you can enjoy 4 sessions at a trial price of $96 ($24/session). Besides that, there's also Skin Shaper Plus Facial, which is an hour long, besides LHE and mask treatment, there's also exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and serum-infused facial massage. New customers can enjoy 4 sessions at a trial price of $128 ($32/session). 

[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] Jergen's Daily Moisture, Soothing Aloe and Ultra healting Body Lotion

Ever since I came back from Korea, my skin has been considered dry. Skin by means, my body, not face. *hehe* I have a strict routine for my facial skincare that sometimes D thinks that I'm taking up too much time to pamper them. Back to topic, since then, whenever I sleep in an aircon room, my body skin will itch, especially the legs. It is so dry that when I walk out of my house, the legs will start to itch so badly that I looked like a monkey trying to scratch while walking. I've consulted friends regarding about this issue and all of them advised me to get a good body moisturizer.

I've tried a few brands but my legs still itch whenever I head out, like mid-morning. *god knows why* Brands shall not be named, since it doesn't really worked out for me. Then Jergens recently released a new and improved range of body moisturizers.  I remembered using their body lotion more than a decade ago, and I stopped coz it was a little too oily for me back then (and I was lazy too).

Jergen's new range of body lotion: Daily moisture, Soothing Aloe and Ultra Healing

Being No.1 Body lotion Brand in USA, Jergens new range target 3 different market users,   which I decided to try all three at different areas of my body. I do have different body skin issues, so might as well. The three variants for this range are:

Thinner texture as compared to the other two. 

1. Daily Moisture for Dry Skin.

This contains Skill Proteins and Citrus extracts which helps in improving texture for visible smooth skin.

The texture looks a little green and slightly thicker

2. Soothing Aloe for Normal to Dry Skin.

This contains Cucumber extracts and pure Aloe Vera which helps in reviving skin for visibly more refreshed skin. Aloe Vera is known for its freshness in keeping skin moist, I have lots of facial care product that has aloe vera too, plus the smell is so refreshing.

Thickest in texture, but the smoothness is the best after application

3. Ultra Healing for Ultra Dry Skin.

This contains Vitamin C, E and B5, which repairs skin for visibly healthier skin. This is great for super dry skin as skin may lack of much water that results in skin crack. And Vitamin C is a great ingredient in repairing the damage.

Besides repairing and moisturizing your skin, this new range contains the HydralucenceTM blend that provides longer lasting hydration for visibly enhanced skin tone, texture, and luminosity. It gives your skin a beautiful, envious glow.

There's a patch of dullness on my elbow, which is also quite dry

I tried Soothing Aloe on my elbow, as it tends to be a little dry and dull in skin colour. I applied Daily Moisture on my legs they are dry but not visibly cracking and lastly I applied Ultra Healing on my body as my body tends to get super dry after a night sleep in the air con room.  Next morning, I am amazed by how smooth my skin is and less dull it look. It doesn’t look dry and it feels smooth. That is after around 8 hours of application. Then I applied once again in the morning before heading out. My skin does looks glowy under the sun and my legs doesn't feel the itch for once. *falls in love*

Me, taking OOTD after using Jergen's new range of skin care after a few days. 

After 12 hours, back home, my skin still feels smooth and glowy, it feels like my skin has locked the moisture from the lotions just right. And I don’t feel sticky even though I work in an non-airconed office. This prompts me to use it everyday. Another good point about this new range is it doesn’t have this super sticky after-application feeling and my skin absorbs it wells within 5 mins. I do not have to worry about staining my clothes with the lotion or feeling uncomfortable the whole day. Some lotion have this sticky feeling that you just wanna wash it off. :(

And because of the extract contains of each lotion, I have this fresh scent on me right after application. I feel refreshed and happy, because one thing, its not coconut or some weird oil smell that some lotions I used to have had.

Using the New Jergen Body Lotion makes me feel refreshed and happy, I don’t feel like a monkey scratching during the mid-morning when I head out. And I feel more confident when I go out for functions or visiting. It is like having a great hair or facial skin, having a good body skincare, it adds on to a good look no matter how you dress. Because it is just adds up to looking great. :)

D's knees before using Ultra Healing

And even though body lotion are mainly used by women, I’ve tried Ultra Healing on D. His legs are horribly dry and it’s even worse when he likes to peel his knee’s dead skins off. *eww* Made him apply it for nearly a week, day and night. 

After a week of usage. 

Here is the result, his skin looks smoother, healthier and glowy too. And it reduced the dryness, plus the dullness has reduced like 50%.

Ladies! You can share this with your man if he has dry skin issues too!! Sharing is caring and gives you another reason to stock up. The New Jergen range is now available at leading supermarkets, western pharmacies, and personal care stores, priced at S$8.90. Time to stock up all 3 types.
