Hi loves, it’s been such a long time since my last skincare review and I’m back to introduce you one of my favourite brands Murad! They’ve recently launched a new serum - Correct & Protect Serum Broad Spectrum SPF 45 | PA++++ targeting those who suffer from skin discolouration and hyperpigmentation.

I’ve always love the idea of using a 2 in 1 product, here’s what Murad Correct & Protect Serum Broad Spectrum SPF 45 | PA++++ can help you correct discolouration and helps brighten as a treatment serum as well as protects your skin with SPF 45 to fight hyperpigmentation.

The beauty of this product works as a brightening serum to correct dark spots and the SPF will prevent new ones from appearing. Awesome isn’t it?

Murad Correct + Protect Broad Spectrum SPF 45 gives you a satin smooth finish, this serum is lightweight, non-greasy and absorbs into our skin effortlessly. This fits into my AM skincare routine perfect, the serum is also really moisturizing it work well without the need to top up additional moisturizer for me.

Ever wondered how your K-pop idols get that healthy glow from within? Well Nutox is here to help you with that, Nutox recently kicked off with their K-pop inspired campaign to help young Malaysians unlock the secret to hydrated, glowing skin with their NUTOX Renewing Treatment range.

As someone who has a lot of sun damage because of the nature of my work, I got really excited when I heard Murad release Power Pairs - Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum & City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 | PA++++ as the ultimate solution to pigmentation and dark spot correcting. For me, hyperpigmentation is the bane of my skincare regimen and I'm glad to discover new products that are able to help me out.

Today I will be sharing my review on my experience from using DHC Revitalizing Moisture Strips for Eyes & DHC Lip Cream.

Some of the lifestyle changes I had during MCO is staying up late which is why I started experiencing puffiness & dark eye circles. With the help of DHC Revitalizing Moisture Strips, this gel type eye mask is packed with Alpha-arbutin and Mulberry Root Extract that helps to brighten the area, Olive Leaf, and Soybean Seed Extracts that nourishes the delicate eye area, and protein-rich Japanese Chlorella Extract that promotes firmness to gives our eyes the instant fix we need. 

Each box comes with six pairs which is good for 6 applications for both eyes,. I love placing mine in the fridge and leave it on overnight for a cooling and conditioning effect or you could leave it on for at least 20-30 minutes straight from the pack. The patch are generously sized and covers the entire part of our under eye area and most importantly it sticks on well. After application, I can instantly see the eyes area lighten up.  

Another part we often overlook is our lips., I’ve always experience chapped lips during hot seasons, especially when I'm not getting enough H20, and DHC Lip Cream keeps my lip feeling baby soft, it has never let me down.

DHC Lip Cream comes in a twist tube of 30cm and it has a super creamy, hydrating base which contains Organic Olive Oil, Squalane, Ginseng Root Extract, and Lanolin to retain moisture on our lips and serve as a barrier to protect our lips. The lip balm glides smoothly without feeling sticky, I apply whenever I feel my lips are dry and also every night before I sleep to wake up with hydrated lips that last all day long. After trying the DHC Lip Cream, I never looked back, I’m just glad I don’t have to deal with chapped lips anymore. 

If anyone wants to try this product, you may get it online at Lazada, Shopee, Hermo, Beauty Insider, Astro GoShop or it's available at retail outlets at Don Don Donki & Aeon Wellness.

Glycolic acid has always been a part of the skin care products and is not a new discovery. However, adding it specifically in a beauty regime might seem an uncommon choice. Let’s break down what glycolic acid is, how it affects the skin, and determine whether you should incorporate it into your skin care routine. 

What Is Glycolic Acid?

Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), much like a collection of naturally occurring fruit acids, and is mostly found in sugarcane. It has been a popular ingredient since the 90s, when skin care professionals discovered its effectiveness and affordability. 

How Does Glycolic Acid Work?

Glycolic acid reacts with the top layer of your skin, breaking down dirt and natural oils that buildup over time and bind skin cells together. In addition to removing dead skin cells, glycolic acid also deeply penetrates the skin to help stimulate new cells and reduce fine lines, acne, blackheads, dullness, oiliness, and uneven texture.

AHAs, including glycolic acid, are made up of small molecules that are active and bioavailable, which makes them absorb easier into the skin.

Should You Add Glycolic Acid?

With proven effects of revitalizing your skin, glycolic acid is a recommended ingredient to add to your skin care regime. Many people find good results with glycolic acid and, since it is inexpensive, you get a lot of bang for your buck. 

Using Glycolic Acid in Your Daily Life

Many products contain glycolic acid, including: 

● Serums

● Body lotions

● Toners

● Moisturizers

● Face masks 

● Facial peels 

● Cleansers 

It is easy to find glycolic acid products to help reveal youthful, healthy-looking skin from head to toe. When searching for products that contain glycolic acid, it sometimes go by a different name, including: 

● a-Hydroxyacetate

● Dicarbonic acid 

● Hydroxy-acetic acid

● alpha-Hydroxyacetate

● a-Hydroxyacetic acid

● 2-hydroxy acetic acid

Get Started With Glycolic Acid 

As with any skin care product, you should gently introduce glycolic acid into your routine to ensure you don’t have a reaction to it. Find a mild product, such as one from the award-winning company Nu Skin, to start using glycolic acid in your skin care routine.
