The Honey Collection – Water Boosting Honey Day

Shield, $84.90 honeycollection.sg

This Day Shield cream is super nice. It’s basically New Zealand in a little pot: clean, natural and pretty! My skin feels hydrated, bouncy and smooth after using it. The website says it’s proven that elasticity increases by 52 percent when you use this product, and I think that sounds about right. Among the ingredients are hyaluronic acid to boost your skin’s elasticity, manuka honey and seaweed extract. I’ve been using this product twice a day, morning and night, for about a month, and I think it’s ideal for dryness, fine lines and wrinkles, environmental damage, and dullness. Susan Knudsen-Pickles

Kumuya – Rejuvenate Nutri-Serum Concentrate, $119 kumuya.com

In my youth, I spent numerous weekends purposefully sun tanning – and the consequences can be seen in my areas of dehydrated and less-than-supple skin. I’d previously used Kumuya’s Illuminate Nutri Serum Concentrate and loved it. So I was excited when I was given Rejuvenate to try. I wasn’t disappointed! It easily melted into my skin and left it feeling soft. It has a subtle, refreshing fragrance that dissipates quickly, which appeals to me as I’m sensitive to artificial or overpowering fragrances. I love it so much that I’ve been using it twice a day. One month on, my skin is looking healthier and more radiant – and friends have said that too; I’m attributing this to the active ingredients that promote cellular regeneration, stimulate collagen production and provide intense hydration. I’ll continue using it as a base before sunscreen and foundation on my face – it helps my foundation to stay on while keeping my face looking fresh. My favourite thing about the product is that the ingredients are plant-derived and it’s free of nasties like parabens and toxins. It’s been formulated for all skin types (dermatologist-tested, too!), ages and genders. I recommend it for anyone who wants to pamper their skin and keep it looking young. Patricea Chow
