STYLE & BEAUTY

Philocali Liquid Masque, $129 byphilocali.com I’m a fan of multi-function products and anything that reduces the time I need to spend in front of the mirror. This product is a toner, essence and masque in one – and can also be used to set your makeup. Overnight masks are wonderful – especially when you sleep in air-con – but they’re often quite heavy and rich. I used this clear spray on my face and decolletage every night for two weeks and it didn’t cause breakouts or flaking skin. It creates a kind of collagen barrier, so the skin feels protected and soft. The smell is a little vinegary but that fades after a while. I then started using it on my elbows and feet when they looked a bit dry. Sometimes at my desk, if I felt my skin was dehydrated, I’d spray it on over the regular skincare I had applied in the morning. I think anything that hydrates, has collagen and super peptides and (most importantly) is easy enough to use frequently is great for looking after ageing skin. Danielle Rossetti

Filorga Global-Repair Intensive, $165 novela.com.sg/ collections/filorga

I’m a big fan of serums and this one is a delight to wear. It brightens the skin and can be used during the day under a moisturiser and with a thicker layer for a repair cream at night. It contains three super nutrients (ceramides, omegas, vitamins) that help to restore suppleness and vitality. The cell boosters also zap any sign of skin ageing. The pump dispenser releases the right amount each time and the velvety texture soaks into the skin nicely. Jacqui Young

BECOS Age Pro Evolution Pearls of Youth, $218 allureskincare.com.sg These pearls are among my favourite skin products of all time – each one is a single handy dose of anti-ageing cream with a beautiful silky texture to glide over the skin. I only wish they were slightly bigger as they soak into the skin so nicely; I felt sometimes I needed to use two at a time. I love the texture and the immediate effect it has on wrinkles, and the lavender smell is lovely too. A really nice product. Jacqui Young
