A healthier, more even complexion. Just use Clarifying Lotion 2 after cleansing your face, but before applying your moisturiser or serum to get that glowing skin you've always wanted!

2. Essence for Soothing the Skin

If you want to kick sensitive or reactive skin to the curb and say hello to a stunning complexion, an essence for the face is a must-have in your skincare arsenal. With the Origins' Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Soothing Treatment Lotion, you’ll be on the way to achieving flawless skin in no time! It helps to soothe and hydrate the skin while strengthening its barrier against environmental stressors. To maximise its benefits, apply it after using your preferred facial cleanser and toner before your serum and moisturiser. Trust us, your skin will thank you.

3. Sunscreen for Preventing Premature Ageing

We know you love soaking up those rays, but let's be real – premature ageing is not a good look. That's where sunscreen comes in. It's a critical part of any skincare routine, especially if you want to protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays. IDS Skincare’s Non-Tinted Sunscreen is the real MVP here. It's a lightweight, sweat-resistant sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, as well as excessive blue light. Plus, it doubles as a natural moisturiser, so you can save time and keep your skin looking fabulous.

4. Face Mask for a Weekly Skincare Treat

You know what's better than binge-watching Netflix at the end of a hectic week? Treating yourself to a bomb face mask for an intensive burst of nourishment while watching all your favourite shows. And if you're looking for a real game-changer, Origins' Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask is the way to go. It's a fan favourite amongst Singaporeans for a reason – it's got all the goods for deep cleansing and purifying the skin. 

With bamboo charcoal and white china clay, this mask helps to unclog pores and remove impurities, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and revitalised. So go ahead and slather on that goodness, and give your skin the breather it deserves.

5. Moisturiser to Hydrate the Skin

If you want healthy, hydrated skin that's free from dryness and flakiness, then moisturising is key. And when it comes to holy-grail moisturisers, Clinique's Smart NightTM Custom-Repair Moisturizer takes the cake. Filled with anti-ageing promises, this lightweight, oil-free moisturiser is the perfect addition to your skincare routine. It provides lasting hydration while reducing visible wrinkles and fine lines, and works well on three types of skin, very dry and dry, dry combination, and combination oily. The best part? It's been formulated to soften, smooth, and improve your skin's overall health. Don't skimp on this essential step if you want to watch your skin transform!
