i think the best thing to do to delay/prevent sun damage to our face and neck these days is to wear a hat.


taka has some nice big hats and hopefully we can start a trend.

I'll start staring at those ladies in hats when I'm out now.. ... and wonder which KSP parent it is.. ..

I super kiasu. Hat not enough. I use big big umbrella!

Actually I don’t like to be under the sun. I try to wear a hat if I m going under the sun. Even my maid wears a hat to wash the porch outside.


Also sleep is important. Quality sleep everyday can make you look younger by a few years.

auntieM, eventhough I have not met you. In my mind I can imagine you are very slim and very "womanly". You also will have below shoulder hair and doesn’t wear glasses. You probably never scream at anyone before in your life. How? Am I right??

Some sunscreen very oily looking on my skin, others look white after apply on skin, make me look like a ghost.

Unfortunately for sunscreen to be effective they need that physical layercoz otherwise nothing to block the sun with. You can try using BB cream or powder over the sunscreen to reduce the white/oily feel.

Try neutrogena spf 30. not white-ish or oily.

Don't buy neutrogena spf 50 though, very white no matter how hard I try to blend the sunblock.

I'm also using lab series (for men) sunblock, not white-ish either.

Do you ladies apply the toner via a soaked through cotton wool? Or just piak the toner onto the face (think skii commercial)?

I use facial cotton for toner. Sometimes can see a layer of 'dirt' after sweeping cotton over my face even though I just cleanse. So I guess the facial cotton further cleanse, slightly?

I’ve been using clarins for many many years but I find it’s losing its effect.

I noticed face is somewhat like hair, need to alternate between products so it doesn’t get used to that particular product & become immune

For toner, I’m using clarins & lab series (for men). No particular preference, I can’t tell the difference between these 2.
However, I don’t like toner that contains alcohol, so no more clinique toner for me.

For day moisturiser, I just finished up clarins night cream (I use it for day) so kiv 1st. Before getting my next clarins night cream, I’m using weleda (organic) lotion and lab series face cream in the interim for a change.
Don’t really like lab series face cream though, I find it too rich so kind of difficult to apply makeup immediately. Alright if just use as base before slapping on sunblock.

For eyes, clarins & lab series. Both good. I alternate between these 2.

For night I like lab series renewal serum’s texture. Absorb quickly and not oily.

I’ve tried Origins bedtime face cream. Can’t stand the smell. Wasteful if discard the entire bottle so I applied on my arms instead. I’ve also tried Aubrey (organic) moisturiser. Again, can’t stand the smell.

Angelight:

Any of you using organic-based or natural skincare products, that means no chemical ingredients, only plant or fruit based?

I've tried Weleda and Aubrey moisturiser. Both organic. Weleda is good although I prefer a larger quantity. One tiny tube ran out pretty quickly, need to keep re-ordering. I don't like Aubrey's smell

Didn't try men's skincare before. what's the different between men and women skincare products?
