Natural Beauty Inside Out
Yay, it’s a long weekend here in Singapore as we’ll be celebrating our National Day on Monday. I haven’t got much plans but I might try to catch The Last Airbender. Anyway, many people are probably away on some getaway so instead of babbling away, I’ll just leave you with ten entries that you might have missed:
Heard of Allantoin? Used it in your skin care products before? Do you know if yours came from plant extracts or from snails? Yes it’s true! Allantoin is also the primary extract of snail’s secretion and it’s purported to help increase your skin’s softness and smoothness and are totally safe. Disgusted? Well, this is less repulsive if you were to compare it with beauty products containing whale vomit or bull semen.
I’m glad that many of you consider sunscreen as a routine skin care product. But a number of you are still not using sunscreen consistently. Perhaps it’s because you have not found your ideal product. Well, if you’re still searching for your perfect sunscreen, you might want to look at these 11 that are highly rated by readers at Total Beauty. Based on the readers’ reviews, these are the new generation of facial sunscreens that don’t leave a white film on the skin, won’t cause breakouts or an overly-shiny face and can be applied seamlessly over or under makeup.
It’s the weekend and you probably have some interesting activities lined up. I’ve been spending some bonding time with my family and am keeping this short so here are some reads from Total Beauty to keep you occupied.
