A Look at the Latest in Beauty
Products, services, flagships, and more, we take a look at what's buzzing in beauty this September.
One thing about beauty in Singapore is that there's always so much to see, try, and do. The first day of September also marks the release of some exciting products, services, stores, and more the industry has to offer. From Chanel Beauty's new range of LE VERNIS nail polishes to Tiffany Young's favourite Lancôme flagship store, here's the latest in beauty!
Skincare
La Prairie Skin Caviar Harmony L'Extrait
They say that money can buy happiness; in this case, it comes in the form of lifted and firm skin. La Prairie's latest hero product combines the power of Caviar Infinite with micro-fluidic technology to create the ultimate light extrait that contours and resculpts mature skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and restoring youth as the weeks go by. Best used together with the brand's Skin Caviar Essence-in-Lotion, Skin Caviar Liquid Lift and Skin Caviar Luxe Cream.
The La Prairie Skin Caviar Harmony L'Extrait retails at $1,280 and is available at all La Prairie counters at Tangs at Tangs Plaza, Takashimaya, Metro Paragon, ION Flagship Boutique from today onwards.
Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant
We usually advise against exfoliating every day, but Dermalogica's gentle and trusty Daily Milkfoliant has officially changed the game. Using the expertise of skincare experts with over 30 years of experience, this vegan formulation is clinically proven to smooth and soothe all skin conditions. It uses healthy actives like Oat, Coconut, and botanical extracts rich in Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) to give you that healthy-looking skin you've always dreamed of.
The product retails at $103 (74g) and $24 (13g). It will be available online at www.dermalogica.com.sg, AsterSpring and authorized Dermalogica skin centres from 9 September onwards.
The Classic Ritual by Tatcha
Tatcha's been known to deliver cult-favourite products, and The Classic Ritual is no different. With ingredients mindfully sourced and harvested, this set of four – made up of The Camellia Cleansing Oil, The Rice Polish, The Essence, and The Silk Cream – will purify, polish, plump and nourish your skin like no other. Our favourite thing about it, of course, is the incorporation of Japanese skincare secrets and technology to create a gentler formulation for Asian skin.
The Classic Ritual is available online at Sephora.sg, in-app, and at all Sephora stores.
RATIONALE The Mask
Adding to RATIONALE's already-impressive range of skincare products, #2 The Mask infuses antioxidants like Vitamin C and E to target hyperpigmentation, skin unevenness, and more to nourish, comfort and hydrate the most sensitive of skins. This weekly treatment is best used on days when your skin is feeling the most tired as it re-energises and neutralises free radicals accumulated throughout the week.
The #2 The Mask retails at $241 (50g) in all RATIONALE stores.
ULTRA VIOLETTE
Lightweight, targeted, and handy, what else could you ask for in skinscreen? This fun Australian-made range of SPF products delivers formulations for every skin type and condition as well as protects skin from a solar spectrum of environmental damage caused by UVA, UVB, infrared, blue light, visible light and pollution. If you haven't started including SPF into your daily skincare ritual, it's about time you started!
