While most of you were still sleeping, I was already on my way to the Beautiful Me workshop last Saturday morning. The Beautiful Me Workshop was held at Isetan The Japan store, it was a sunny day and really good weather at Bukit Bintang area that day.

Jed Chow, Marketing Manager from Pigeon Malaysia greeted the participants

As a mother of two daughters, I love to join parenting event like this. Not only the workshop was fun, it was filled with knowledgeable information for all the mom to be and existing mother. I am happy to be invited to join the Beautiful Me Workshop by Pigeon & Fujifilm Instax.

To kick start the workshop, we were welcome by the beautiful emcee and Jed Chow, Marketing Manager from Pigeon Malaysia.

We were fortunate to have Dr Leong Kin Fon, a Pediatric Dermatologist to share with us the topic of 'Skincare for Pregnant Moms & Newborn Babies'. Many mother is concern on skin during pregnancy; striae and pigmentation as well as newborn baby skincare and how to take care of nappy rash and eczema. This is indeed a good information to know from the expert.

We all know that babies' skin is delicate and thinner than adult, hence we need to choose the suitable products for baby. However, with the rising case of eczema nowadays, an early detection of baby skin dryness is equally important. There are many factors that trigger eczema in infants, from genetic and environmental factors, food allergies and many more.

Hence, it is important for the care taker to clean baby's skin with a gentle cleanser, and apply nappy cream on baby and changes baby's diaper often. It is advisable to choose the cleanser and lotion with effective moisture level, such as the Newborn Pure Skincare Series from Pigeon. It is back by Natulayer technology that keep babies' skin moisture level at its optimum by moisturizing the surface of skin as well as the inner skin layers.

Origin from Japan, Pigeon has been the pioneer in producing baby products since year 1957. Pigeon offers a wide range of products, from the various types of wet tissues, to a while range of baby skin care products, foaming cleanser for baby accessories, toys, fruits & vegetables and honeycomb breast pads etc.

One particular product that we like is the Pigeon Hand & Mouth wet tissues. Made from 100% Food Grade Ingredients, alcohol free and is perfect for babies. It could be use to clean baby's hands, face and mouth, comes in handy especially during mealtimes.

As for the mothers, we all hate scars. However, pregnancy scars are really common especially at the belly area. It is important to treat them early when it's still red and new. Don't wait for the scar to turn white because it will be too late to treat it.

Then, we had a scrumptious Japanese bento lunch which I enjoyed a lot.

After that, we had a terrarium building workshop because terrariums are like incubators for life, much like a mother's womb. These delicate ecosystems require care and pure ingredients so that they can thrive and grow well. This goes hand in hand with Pigeon's ethos of 'Love begets love' where we translate a great deal of thought and research into all their products, even the tiniest one!

Last but not least, we had some baby journaling tips and Fujifilm Instax printing courtesy of FUJIFILM Malaysia! We were asked to download the Instax app on our smartphone and we can then printed the photos from the instax. I like the printing quality which is clear and vibrant. We could print up to 4 pictures and did a baby journey with the beautiful color papers, stickers, ribbons and many more.

Not only that, we all got back home with a Pigeon goodie bag worth more than RM 200. Thank you Pigeon Malaysia for hosting such an enjoyable events like this for all of us. It was a day well spent to learnt together with other moms and had a memorable fun time together.

位于赤道的马来西亚常年如夏，最近的大太阳甚至连我们马来西亚人也高喊吃不消。我相信很多人都跟我一样经长幻想着在冬季里欣赏细雪飘飘和听雪落下的声音。今天我要带给大家一个好消息，我们不用再空想而已了，因为现在我们也可以在马来西亚遇见冬季，就在 i-City SnoWalk 里。

i-City是位于联邦大道的大型主题乐园。早前它们才被 CNN 选为世界上25个最亮眼，最色彩缤纷的地方之一，成为马来西亚唯一一个上榜的乐园。所以啊，i-City是旅马必去的景点。而身为马来西亚人的我们，更是不容错过啦。从我们家出发，我们可以从免费的联邦大道或者付费的新巴生河流域大道过去。车程只需四十分钟便到了i-City 。趁着年终学校假期的来临，我们便带着一家大小去 i-City 崭新的景点 SnoWalk 去玩。

i-City 花了一千万重新装横的 SnoWalk 在最近已经重新开放。整个SnoWalk 占地两个足球场那么大。里面除了有由哈尔滨师傅们精心雕塑的冰雕，雪雕，还有会下雪的大型冰屋。加上美丽的灯光投影，景色实在是独特又梦幻。

在买了门票后，我们便迫不及待进场去体验非一般的冬季了。 i-City SnoWalk免费提供我们已经被消毒和清净了的雪靴和羽绒外套。为了抵御SnoWalk里零下8度的温度，我们也做好了准备，为大家穿上四层厚厚的衣服和两层长裤打底，加上厚厚的袜子，围巾，手套和耳套，就好像准备好去瑞士雪山或冰岛一样。

进了SnoWalk，我们就被美丽的雪人和圣诞树吸引住了，那是迎接圣诞节所做的装饰。不久，所有人都完全忘情于冰冷美丽世界里。SnoWalk里有很多大型冰雕和雪雕，在美丽的灯光投影之下，那无疑是拍照留恋的好地方。

我最喜欢雪雕塑的花和美人一景，这里用真正的雪砌成了一个美丽的美人和花朵，格外迷人，也装点着浪漫。

除此之外，大人小孩也沉醉于好好玩的冰迷宫，冰滑梯，冰上‘撑船’等游戏之中。这些游戏都是免费无数次玩的，很不错吧？

从冰雕和雪雕场中我们又走到了另外一个会下雪的大型冰屋。在冰天雪地的冰屋里，我们感到浪漫又梦幻，仿佛回到了小时候没有污染，纯白的世界里。在雪花纷飞的冰屋里，捧几朵雪花放入手心，化作生命中最珍贵的收藏。

在这白色天地里踩在雪地上，那些多彩色的树和雪人的装点，让我们心生温暖，还有浪漫的多彩心情。这里实在是太美了，好像在梦里一样梦幻。大人们忍不住在这里自拍个不停，这时，小孩已经玩了好几轮长长的滑梯，好不快乐。

就这样，我们从晚上7点开始游玩至11点多，实在走不动了才依依不舍地离开。i-City SnoWalk的冰雪世界给我们营造了一个童话般的梦幻氛围，感觉童心未泯梦回童。在这纯洁的世界里，给大人小孩的是单纯的快乐。

这里的美好，只有亲身踏上这片土地，才会有更深的感触。这个假期，就呼朋唤友带您的一家大小去i-City SnoWalk游玩吧。加上大家还可以免费观赏i-City 晚上那五光十色的缤纷激光，让你感受到热带国土的绚丽多彩。

最后送上温馨提醒，把你的智能电话或相机充电满满或带上充电宝，因为i-City SnoWalk里面真的有好多景点给我们拍照/拍片子的。

I know many of us are looking for skincare products to combat the sign of aging, prevent wrinkles and look youthful. Thanks to the research, Clinelle is honoured to unveil the next breakthrough in anti-aging – Clinelle AGE REVIVE anti-aging skincare range. With the blend of NATURE and SCIENCE to treat every sign of maturing skin to create a lifted, firmer and more contoured look. Age Revive is packed with proven anti-agers that addresses everything from fine lines, wrinkles, dryness, uneven skin tone, rough skin to sagging and volume loss.

Aesthetic Skin Expert, Dr Wong Yuet Sun shared his expertise insight on skin aging. “Skin ages due to biological aging which is a natural process however, there are other factors that accelerates aging process. Our skin is at the mercy of environmental aggression, UV rays (photoaging), lifestyle due to unhealthy diet, smoking, drinking, stress, sleep deprivation down to skin that is poorly taken care of. It is important to invest in good skincare product with formulation and ingredients that effectively repair damaged skin, strengthen skin health and lastly, provide protection against environmental aggression and daily pollution.”

Expertly formulated with potent anti-aging ingredients, the Clinelle AGE REVIVE is powered with Advanced Smart Delivery System to enhance the efficacy of active ingredients and provide greater and more efficient skin penetration into the skin.

“Balancing motherhood and a career are tough for me. I came to notice my skin condition has changed and require more care than before. My lifestyle has taken a toll on my skin because of the hectic working schedule and sleep deprivation from juggling between family and work. As a result, my skin has aged much but fortunately, Clinelle has introduced the new anti-aging line Age Revive that offers the solution to all my skin concerns. I use Clinelle Age Revive range on daily basis now. The results are impressive as my skin has improved so much in merely 7 days, looking more hydrated, radiant and fine lines are less visible too. My favourite is definitely Clinelle Age Revive Youth Essence because the texture is light, non-sticky and it is easily absorbed into my skin”, according to Shima Anuar, the face of Clinelle since 2015.

The latest intensive anti-aging treatment is packed with 3 key ingredients to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles by 50% upon 1st application. Skin is revived to a more youthful, firmer and lifted looks in minimal time.

REACTIVATE: SPILANTHES ACMELLA FLOWER EXTRACT

Spilanthes A. Flower offered enormous benefits to our skin. As our skin ages, the production of collagen reduced over time affecting the collagen network. The changes create a disorganization to the skin structure, which ultimately leads the increase in fine lines and a loss of firmness in skin. Spilanthes A. Flower Extract helps skin reorganize and support skin structure for a firmer skin, instantly* reduces fine lines and wrinkles to restore a more youthful, firmer and V shaped appearance.

YOUTH ACTIVATE TECHNOLOGY [8+1]

Powerful combination of [8+1] plant extracts, inclusive of precious Crocus Chrysanthus Bulb Extract mimics the power of synthetic fillers to visibly delay the appearance of skin aging signs, rapidly rejuvenate skin texture, enhance firmness and promote skin radiance. Deep wrinkles become less noticeable and skin is left feeling immediately moisturized with velvety smoothness. The look of dark spots and pigmentation gradually diminishes, creating a more even skin tone.

ANTI-POLLUTION AND ANTI UV RAYS

Clinelle Age Revive is infused with potent antioxidant which protects skin damaged by pollution, environmental aging and UV rays (photoaging) from daily exposure. Coupled with double action anti-oxidant that works synergistically to protects skin from nitrogen and oxygen free radicals. Anti-Pollution and Anti UV Rays are tested and proven to have greater antioxidant effects than Resveratrol, Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid.

Early this year, an independent digital mobile service was launched here in Malaysia. Owned and operated by Celcom Axiata Berhad, Yoodo offers the country’s first truly customisable mobile service, with complete transparency, flexibility and customer convenience. Since then, more and more people have subscribed to Yoodo and become a 'Yoodoers'.

On 8th December 2018, Yoodo holds its first ever community day as the brand nears its one-year anniversary since its launch. The community day was an opportunity to celebrate and thank their Yoodo subscribers also known as Yoodoers for their tremendous support and engagement over the past year.

Yoodo’s online community was formed when it was launched January this year. In comparison to other telcos, Yoodo believes they have the most thriving online community achieving close to 200,000 users visiting the platform and receiving 2 million community post views.

“The idea behind the online community is to encourage and allow customers to share their experiences of Yoodo and provide support to other customers. It is a place where they can share their feedback, thoughts and tips on the service. When we first started out, the Yoodo team worked tirelessly to respond to most of the inquiries coming in. But now, when a customer posts a question to the community, they will most likely receive a reply in less than half an hour from another customer, not a Yoodo representative,” shared Jeff, Yoodo’s Community Guy, who is responsible for regulating the online platform.
Jeff added that there are incentives for Yoodoers to be more engaging and active in the community. Every month, the brand offers rewards in terms of credit and exclusive Yoodo merchandises such as umbrella, shirts, car stickers and others for top engagement.

While the online community has grown to become a resource centre for potential customers, for the startup, it also holds valuable information and insights on consumer behaviour and demands.

Middle: Tuck Mun, Head of Yoodo

Speaking at the event, Tuck Mun, Head of Yoodo shared, “These days, customers are rewriting the rules of customer engagement, demanding to be heard and wanting to be involved with the brand. For example, we launched our Roam Like Home Plus plan to an additional 41 countries after crowdsourcing our customers to test the roaming feature for us. Our customers were more than willing to provide us with valuable feedback when they travelled during the beta test period. This greatly helped us to fine tune the product feature. We have also brought back or continued promotions due to popular demand such as our initially planned one off RM20 for 20GB plan which has now been extended until end of the year.”

As part of Yoodo’s Community Day, Yoodoers were treated to games, prizes from a lucky draw, exclusive announcements on what is in store for next year and lastly, a movie. A customized limited edition SuperUser shirt and RM100 worth of credit was given to 10 SuperUsers acknowledging their contribution in keeping the community thriving. The brand also gave out prizes to loyal subscribers according to three categories – Longest Active SuperUser, Most Active SuperUser and Most Promising New SuperUser. Winner of the Longest Active SuperActive category was Bruce Lim (an active user since March 2018) received a Huawei P20 while three winners from the most active SuperUser category (with almost 1000 replies in the community) were gifted a Huawei Y7 Prime each. Most Promising New SuperUser, Wong Meng Jian received a Samsung Galaxy J1.

Not only that, many great announcements were made at Yoodo Community Day as below;

Yoodo launched Roam Like Home Plus. The plan is unique whereby it allows users to utilise their local plan when they are travelling out of Malaysia for either RM10 or RM20 for 24 hours, depending on the country they are roaming to. Roam Like Home and Roam Like Home Plus now covers 53 countries.

Online Banking will be available for Yoodo by the end of December 2018. This is in addition to the current payment channels of credit or debit card and PayPal.

Based on feedback from the online community, Yoodo plans to implement data sharing in 2019. Users will be able to decide the amount data that is to be shared with others.

The exciting experience of watching a cinematic masterpiece 6,000 feet above sea level has just gotten a huge adrenaline boost. Bona Cinemas in Resorts World Genting introduced two new experiences that will allow audiences to immerse themselves even further inside the thrilling realm of motion pictures, adding IMAX and Gold Class with D-BOX halls to its gilded cineplex in the heart of SkyAvenue mall from 1 December 2018.

“The movies are about dreams, imagination, art and, to a certain extent, escapism. Our audiences in Resorts World Genting will be able to enjoy the latest films in these awesome settings with the best of technology,” said Dato’ Edward Holloway, Executive Vice President of Leisure & Hospitality, Resorts World Genting. “Whether in the awe-inspiring expanse of IMAX or the engaging luxury of the seats, the experience of watching movies at Bona Cinemas is really impressive and innovative. Films are a gateway to a universe crafted by imagination and creativity, and with the addition of our IMAX and Gold Class with D-BOX halls, there is no better gateway into cinematic perfection in Malaysia than at Bona Cinemas in Resorts World Genting.”

The collaboration between Resorts World Genting and China’s Bona Film Group, Bona Cinemas was unveiled earlier this year as the Chinese film giant’s first foray into the Malaysian market. Bona Film Group is an integrated film and television production, distribution company and exhibition company, being the first private firm to receive a film distribution licence from the Chinese state in 1999. From there, Bona has now become one of China’s largest film production houses, having funded and created over 230 films, including titanic hits like Operation Red Sea (紅海行動), Project Gutenberg (無雙), Big Brother (大师兄), The Taking of Tiger Mountain (智取威虎山), The Grandmaster (一代宗师), Flying Swords of Dragon Gate (龙门飞甲), Dragon Tiger Gate (龍虎門) and Confession of Pain (傷城). In addition to production and distribution, Bona Film Group also owns and directly operates 61 theatres in China under the Bona brand, and in February 2018, opened its first overseas cineplex in Resorts World Genting.

Since its opening, Bona Cinemas has proven to be incredibly successful, offering guests the opportunity to watch hit movies in Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Korean and Thai in plush comfort with cutting-edge audio-visual technology. The addition of IMAX and Gold Class with D-BOX adds more feathers to Bona Cinemas’ cap. IMAX technology, derived from the words Image Maximum, is widely considered the gold standard in motion picture immersion, able to capture images of greater size and resolution to bring even the smallest of details and sounds to life with a visceral punch.

Some movies – particularly those from director Christopher Nolan – make full use of the IMAX video format, which is ten times larger than the standard theatre 35mm format, but all films at Bona Cinemas have undergone a proprietary Digital Re-mastering process to truly bring the original movie to life. One of only a handful of IMAX screens in Malaysia, Bona Cinemas IMAX hall seats an audience of up to 250 viewers, each one encased in a bubble of audio-visual paradise that propels the movie-watching experience to a whole new level.

Equally impressive is the cinema’s Gold Class with D-BOX hall that seats up to 48 viewers. A first in the Malaysian market, Bona Cinemas has combined the luxurious pleasure of Gold Class VIP seats with the dynamic feedback of D-BOX technology. Each seat is equipped with the D-BOX patented motion system with four levels of intensity control, which swivels and tilts on a two-axis configuration to truly bring the viewer into the thick of the action. Combined with the latest Dolby Atmos audio system that wraps the audience with three-dimensional sound, the hall will make guests truly feel like they are part of the scene – along for the ride in thrilling chase sequences and feeling the weight of every single impact, whether physical or emotional.

Bona Cinemas is located on Level 1 of SkyAvenue mall in Resorts World Genting. The cinema has a total of six halls, covering 38,848 square feet. All halls are equipped with the latest Dolby Atmos sound system for maximum cinematic immersion, and a wide variety of snacks are available at the concession stand.

SkyAvenue is also home to the Awana SkyWay cable car, various dining outlets including alfresco dining on Level 4, retail outlets, the nightlife space Zouk Atrium, Ripley’s Believe it or Not! Adventureland and the Skytropolis Funland which was soft-opened on 8 December 2018.

We’re very excited and proud to introduce another original content to our visitors, yet again, during the year end school holidays due to the positive response of our previous shows. This magnificent production will be a visual treat to our visitors which totalled an estimated 25 million in 2018.

“We are thrilled to announce the premiere of our Highlands Heroes. We’ve kept the show colourful and fun and the relationship between all the different characters sends a positive message about friendship. Hopefully, it will also garner an interest of the environment amongst them through the portrayal of the animals and the jungle,” added Dato’ Edward.

Jungle Jam will be staged at SkySymphony, where four-story high LED screens surrounding the concourse will come alive with the new musical show, complemented by the state-of-the-art 1,001 winch balls that synchronize and move to form different shapes, from colourful vines to jungle creatures to create a truly immersive audio-visual experience.

The five (5) minute show features a dance performance by the reinvented Genting characters featuring a charming group of animal friends and the unofficial guardians of Resorts World Genting: Tabby the Tiger, Allie the Elephant, Joe the Orangutan, Geno the Dinosaur and two new characters Benny the Entertainer (a Malaysian Sun Bear), and Callie the Dragon. The characters were introduced more than 25 years ago and have been given a fresh spin with characters such as Benny the Entertainer which was previously a clown however has been transformed to this lovable character that children will love. Callie the Dragon on the other hand, was originally the character mascot Callie the caterpillar, but was introduced as a dragon that was inspired by the Chin Swee Caves Temple from the 9 Dragon wall. The fun and modernised characters will be brought to life for the very first time through the LED screens. The Highland Heroes will also appear in 2019 at the entrance of Skytropolis Funland, Genting’s new indoor theme park which soft-opened on 8th December 2018.

“One of Genting Studios’ very first tasks was to take the original Genting character mascots, and reimagine them for an all-family audience”, said Regis Brown, Deputy Managing Director of Genting Studios. “Jungle Jam introduces our characters in beautiful CG-animation as they dance to a catchy original song in a lush jungle setting. Jungle Jam is our second CG animated-production and we have new shows already in pre-production for 2019, as well as longer-form content plans for our lovable mascots. Genting Studios was entrusted to preserve and enhance the legacy of Genting’s original animal characters, and we are very excited to relaunch these characters to today’s audiences.”

Jungle Jam was produced over four months by the Genting Studios team located in Los Angeles and Kuala Lumpur. The show is directed by Guy Vasilovich (All I Want for Christmas is You, Lego Star Wars) and executive produced by Daniel Regis Brown (Dex Hamilton, Pumpkin Reports) and Steven Lim Tze Siang (Saladin: The Animated Series, Bola Kampung: The Movie). “Jungle Jam” is an original composition by Emmy Award-winning composer Gigi Meroni, with additional post-production audio and effects work by Central Post Los Angeles.

Jungle Jam premieres at SkySymphony on December 18, 2018. Jungle Jam will be shown every two hours from 10.00am to midnight. Other shows namely the Ocean Groove with Maestro Ning, Urban Symphony Forest and The Goddess will also be taking their turns to play at SkySymphony throughout the day on a 30-minute rotation.

Natural skincare lovers would be familiar with TNS Skin Lab, the Malaysia's leading independent natural and organic beauty importer and retailer that has brought many natural brands into the Malaysian market such as Antipodes, Trilogy, Aubrey, A’kin, Suntegrity, The Herb Farm, Oxygen, Scented Space and many others.

TNS Skin Lab has continued to bring us the latest skincare products over the years. I am honored to give some of them a try recently.

The first two products are from Trilogy. Origin from New Zealand, Trilogy has an international reputation for producing ethical, sustainable, high-performance natural skincare products. Even Kate Middleton uses Trilogy rosehip oil for a flawless complexion.

This time, I have given the newly launched Trilogy Age-Proof CoQ10 Eye Concentrate and Trilogy Age-Proof Overnight Mask a try.

We all know that eye is the window of the soul, it is also the thinnest skin area that can easily exposed our age. Hence, I am concern on a good eye care since I stepped into my 30's. I have tried a lot of eye care products and Trilogy Age-Proof CoQ10 Eye Concentrate is by far the best one I've tried.

Trilogy Age-Proof CoQ10 Eye Concentrate (10ml | RM 132)

Trilogy has reformulated their Age-Proof CoQ10 Eye Recovery Concentrate to includes jojoba derived super-ingredient L22® which mimics the lipid profile of your skin at 22 to support a firmer, more youthful appearance. Potent botanical complex Glycablend™ is proven to reduce collagen breakdown, while caffeine from coffee extract helps brighten and increase microcirculation for dark circles. Also with hydrating hyaluronic acid and CoQ10 to strengthen the delicate skin around the eye.

We like that Trilogy Age-Proof CoQ10 Eye Recovery Concentrate comes with a cooling metal applicator to reduce puffiness. It is also easy to use, just gently sweep applicator across under-eye area and tap excess with fingers. The eye concentrate in silky texture made it easy to absorb into the skin. I like the soothing sensation when apply it.
The best part? The puffiness and dark circles under my eyes are gone after using it for 2 weeks.

Trilogy Age-Proof Overnight Mask (60ml | RM 153)

Similar with the Age-Proof CoQ10 Eye Recovery Concentrate, the Age-Proof overnight mask is formulated with jojoba derived super-ingredient L22®, potent botanical complex Glycablend™ for reduced collagen breakdown and vitamin C to promote radiance.

Trilogy Age-Proof Overnight Mask is an intensely hydrating leave-on cream mask with advanced natural ingredients and vitamins that with prolonged overnight wear, supports skin’s night-time repair functions to help nourish, firm and promote radiance.

I love the divine scent of Trilogy Age-Proof Overnight Mask. Comes with a spatula, I just need to apply a thin layer of this rich mask on my face and leave it for over night. I like how it works on my skin. I wake up with soft, hydrated and brighter skin the next day.

For the price tag of only RM 153, I absolutely recommend Trilogy Age-Proof Overnight Mask to everyone that wish for glowing, youthful skin.

Trilogy products are certified natural by Natrue & Biogro. They are available at all TNS Skin Lab stores and online.

A good sleep is necessary for good health, and what's better to get a beauty sleep and wake up with gorgeous skin? Thanks to the creation of overnight mask with the power to actually make our skin look better by morning.

The Herb Farm has launched its Overnight Mask not too long ago. We are fortunate to get it from TNS Skin Lab here in Malaysia too. Origin from New Zealand, The Herb Farm uses traditional herb knowledge with latest innovations with 100% natural products. Of course, it has no parabens, SLS, GMO, artificial colours/fragrances, silicones, and all those nasties we read about. We can be asured of the products' quality of The Herb Farm.

The Herb Farm Overnight Mask (50ml | RM 138)

The Herb Farm Overnight Mask is a creamy face mask that deeply hydrates overnight so you wake up to soft, radiant and nourished skin. Powerful natural extracts help to prevent moisture loss and provide collagen support as your skin repairs while you sleep. Borealine® Expert is scientifically proven to help minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Peony extract is a powerful antioxidant and promotes repair and rejuvenation for soft, smooth skin. Evening Primrose Oil contains omegas and GLA (gamma linoleic acid) which skin requires to stay supple and smooth. GLA helps to trap moisture and prevents water from disappearing from the surface of the skin.

Verdict? I like the light and smooth texture of The Herb Farm Overnight Mask. It smells relaxing(thanks to the peony extract) that made me feel good to fall in-sleep with. I am glad that my skin absorb all of the benefits of this natural skincare while I sleep, and I wake up in the morning with smooth and nourished skin. I can feel the difference because I sleep in dry air-conditioning room which made my skin dry and tight in the morning without using this mask.

The Herb Farm Hydrating Overnight Face Mask is recommended for people with;

Normal Skin that needing a boost of hydration or is starting to lose elasticity and show signs of ageing.
Dry Skin needing deep hydration and repair.
Mature Skin or skin showing skins of ageing where collagen and elastin support is needed for fighting fine lines and wrinkles.
Travellers to counteract the drying effects of flights, dehydration and climate changes.

Dull or tired skin needing some additional support to repair and rejuvenate.

It's easy to use, just follow your usual night-time routine including moisturising then apply a generous layer of The Herb Farm Overnight Face Mask over your face gently massaging it in until fully absorbed. Use twice a week, or as desired, for optimum results.

The Herb Farm is available at all TNS Skin Lab stores and online.
