Natural Beauty Inside Out
This week, I received a newsletter from Marie-Veronique Organics with information about how the introduction of a standardized logo for UVA protection in addition to the SPF rating under the new European regulation would affect their products. According to the company, sunscreen labels in compliance with the new EU regulations could look like this:
Brand X Sunsreen
SPF 30 UVB protection
***** UVA protection
(5 stars would indicate maximum UVA protection)
A reader, Pinkyski, left a comment in one of my earlier entries asking this: “I’m using the tea tree oil facial foam. After a day, a few pimples started to show up. Is it because it is not suitable for my skin or is it because my face is adjusting to it”?
I’m always looking for ways to avoid the dentist and so when I read about how the Supersmile Professional Whitening System can whiten my teeth without the use of messy trays, I got it through Drugstore via a local spree.
Supersmile Professional Whitening System is a set comprising a 50 grams whitening toothpaste and a 34 grams whitening accelerator which is transparent and gel-like. It is easy to use; all I need is to squeeze equal amount of the toothpaste and the accelerator on a dry toothbrush and brush away for 2 minutes. No additional effort required!
I was at Marina Square over the weekend and spotted Ahava. I remembered Pinky gave some positive comments on their range in my entry on Dead Sea Mineral Mud Mask & Salt and decided to check out the shop. I eventually bought two packs of the Ahava Dead Sea Mineral Mud because they’re 100% pure mud harvested from the banks of the Dead Sea without any form of additives. Plus they were on offer at S$16 for two!
