Fast-forward to today, and the Asian flag is still flying high with a new generation of
Asian brands dominating the beauty industry. Thanks to the kawaii Japanese brands and
sizzling hot Korean wave, even big-time industry players like LOreal Paris have signed on

This issue, we celebrate all things Asian showcasing need-to-know brands that are
dominating the beauty scene here and globally. First up, check our special, Ride The
Asian Wave (page 67) and find out what the must-do treatments are and the beauty
innovations you need to know!

SHISEIDO PERFECT UV
PROTECTOR SPF50+
PA++++ ($59/50 ML)
Created with WetForce
technology, its UV-protective veil
is strengthened when it comes in
contact with moisture. Containing
a stabilised Ionic Mineral Sensor
that carries negative ions, these
ions bond with the positive ions
found in minerals in water and
perspiration to create a highly
water-repellent layer and make
it more sun-proof. Also in the
formula is the brands Profense
CELTM which prevents oxidation
and cell damage, as well as their
exclusive SuperVeil-UV 360
technology that offers uniform
coverage even over tiny skin
undulations.
WE LOVEthe emollient texture
that belies its waterproof finish.
It offers slip and allowance
for thorough coverage before
it dries down.

SUN
CHANEL SUBLIMAGE LA
PROTECTION UV SPF50
PA++++ ($170/30 ML)
Targeting the latent damage
caused by solar rays, this
sun crme not only focuses
on UV protection and
preventing pigmentation, it
also rectifies the signs of
ageing skindehydration,
fine lines and dullnessby
acting on the synthesis
of collagen fibres and
repairing damaged
fibroblasts to reinforce the
epidermal barrier function.
With a potent formula
of anti-ageing skincare
ingredients including
regenerative Madagascar
vanilla extract, as well as
a botanical oligopeptide
that acts on photo-ageing,
it promises to neutralise
epidermal damage,
regenerating the skin
whilst shielding it against
environmental assaults.
WE LOVEhow it feels
and behaves like a luxe
moisturiser rather than a
typical sunscreen. Easily
absorbed, the delicate, silky
finish perfectly preps the
skin for base makeup.
28
DIORSNOW UV SHIELD
SPF50 PA+++ ($85/30 ML)
Promising cellular
protection to strengthen
the skins structure and
boost its inner resistance
while shielding it from UV
rays and environmental
aggressors, this sunscreen
is enriched with an
Edelweiss Complex to
help skin cells withstand
the stress caused by
severe temperature shifts.
A resilient flower that
thrives in high altitudes in
spite of the extreme cold,
as well as the UV glare
intensified by reflective
snow, the edelweiss is able
to blossom and preserve a
pure whiteness even under
severe conditions.
WE LOVEits substantial
coverage that gives
sensitive skin physical
protection. Its soft lavender
glow offsets redness as
well.
SULWHASOO SNOWISE EX
UV PROTECTION CREAM
SPF47 PA+++ ($92/40 ML)
A lightly-textured whitening
cream, it prevents UV
damage and protects
against the skins internal
stresses too. Formulated
with Korean traditional
herbs, it contains the
brands trademarked
Snowise Brightening
Triplex: White ginseng
saponin to inhibit melanin
formation, white ginseng
polysaccharides to prevent
sallowness caused by
internal heat, and white
cloud grass to detoxify and
reduce redness caused
by exposure to infrared
rays. Also in the formula is
the herb hedyotis diffusa
which prevents UV-induced
inflammation.
WE LOVEthe radiant

herbal scent an
unmistakable Sulwhasoo

BLUNDERS
It is all the rage to use concealer to hide circles under the eyes or to go all out to sculpt
the face with highlighting and shading ala Kim Kardashian. But if used with a heavy hand,
or the wrong shade, the effect might look garish instead of beautiful under natural light.
The best way forward is to use a light touch for concealers and to skip the contouring all
together in your everyday makeup. Spread concealer only in areas that need coverage.
Choose a shade just one shade lighter than your skin tone, and apply evenly at the under
eye area. As most of us have yellow in our skin, chose a yellow based concealer instead of
pink tone.

FILLERS?
Fillers can enhance and
improve your face taking
years off your appearance.
But, how do we know when is
a good time to get them and
what should we get? Here are
some facts about fillers that
will help you make a more
informed decision.
They target
lines, wrinkles,
and volume loss
by filling in the
areas, unlike
Botox, which works by relaxing
muscles. Secondly, all fillers,
regardless of how they are
packaged, must be prepared
in syringes and injected using
small needles. No surgery or
incisions are required.

EXPERT WAYS TO
DEBLOAT
A FACE
We have all had cheat days when we went overboard and binged on
yummy goodies champagne, dark chocolate, salty crisps and icecream! Delish! Unfortunately, the morning-after is not as divine when you
wake up looking like Pillsbury Dough Boy! Here are some tips that will
help deflate your puffy mug.
50
This inverted yoga pose will boost blood circulation in your face,
making it faster for the toxins to clear out and for your face to deflate!
Start in a kneeling position and place your knees under your hips and
hands under your shoulders. Slowly straighten your legs until your
hips are in the air. Take 5 to 10 deep breaths in this position and repeat
three times.
Sometimes our complexion could use a helping hand or two to get the blood flow going and
deflate puffiness. All you have to do is use gentle half-moon motions with your ring and
middle fingers and massage your under-eye, cheek and chin areas. Do this for a minute or
two and youll see (and feel) a difference promise!
Detox your face with the help of a clay-based mask. These little miracle
workers (like Glamglows Supermud) help draw toxins and yuckiness out of
your skin. They also leave your skin feeling more taut and tightened,
which is great when youre dealing with a sugar hangover!
Contour!
Sometimes, when our face isnt at its best, we need to fake it. Thankfully,
we have game-changing makeup products that fill in the gaps for us.
When your face is looking a little round and chipmunk-like, put on a little
smoke-and-mirrors act, also known as contouring. This will help create
the illusion of chiseled, slim features, even on your puffiest morning.

ADULT
ACNE
Why you get it and
how to fight it, as
shared by Dr Nicholas
Ngui, Medical
Director and Founder
of Neu Age Clinic.
I am in my thirties and I noticed recently that I have pimples on my face. Isnt acne a
condition that only teenagers get?
While it is true that acne occurs mostly during the teenage years (affecting over 90% of
teenagers), acne during the adult years is becoming more and more prevalent these days.
Adult acne affects women more often than men, occurring in 1 out of 4 men and as high as 1
out of 2 women. Furthermore, one does not need to have teenage acne to experience adult
acne.

How does Seong Yeong High Intensity Focus Ultrasound (HIFU) Facial treatment
work?
This non-invasive treatment delivers low levels of energy into the deeper layers of
the skin to trigger the bodys natural healing response. This regenerates supportive
collagen fibres, which in turn, firms and tightens the skin tissues. The chain of reaction
allows patients to experience a tauter, slimmer and more defined V-line.
Why do you think it is an effective anti-ageing prevention treatment?
As we age, our collagen production slows, and the elastic fibres are also less
dense. HIFU helps in collagen and elastic fibre reconstitution, restoring the skins
elasticity and firmness.

EMPOWERING
WOMEN
ONE YOGA POSE AT A TIME
The responsibilities of modern women can take their toll, even on the best of us.
Lava Yoga, a women-only hot yoga studio from Japan shows five asanas or yoga
poses that can help us towards a better well-being.
Malasana
84
Navasana
Pose 5: Side-Twist
The Side-Twist asana is a sitting side-twist. The name is derived
from the Sanskrit words parivtta meaning to turn or revolve and
trikona which means triangle. Its usually performed standing up
but can also be done seated.
How-to: Begin by being seated with your legs out stretched. Raise and
hold your arms out so that they are perpendicular to your legs. Hold the
outside of the right foot with your left hand and slowly lift your right leg
up to chest level. Place your right hand behind your buttocks with your
arm straight so you can prop yourself up and keep your back straight.
Inhale and lengthen your spine. As you exhale, turn your torso to the
right until your shoulders are in-line with your legs. If you feel steady,
you can stretch your right arm out as well. Stay here for up to five full
breaths and switch.
Benefits: The Side-Twist pose stretches the spinal muscle, increasing
the spinal range of motion. It also expands the chest and shoulders
as well as hips musculature. This asana can also relieve upper back
tension and is also thought to stimulate abdominal organs.
To truly realise the full benefits of this ancient holistic art, its always
wise to attend classes by qualified practitioners. Lava Yoga is a WomenOnly Hot Yoga studio located in i12 Katong. With a simple philosophy
to Make as many people happy as we can through yoga, Lava Yoga
Singapore looks to make yoga a part of every womans life.

The Paleo diet is purported to reduce inflammation and reduce our chances of
developing lifestyle diseases. Fact or fad? Naturopath Eugene He tells us more.
o what is Paleo?
The Paleo Diet, or Paleolithic diet, also called the Caveman diet, is based on the
principle that our body is designed for the same foods that our hunter gatherer
ancestors used to eat. Due to modernisation and the rise of agriculture and
processed foods, there is a hypothesis that the digestive system of humans have
yet to evolve to consume certain foods effectively, thus resulting in diseases such as obesity, heart
disease, diabetes and cancer. The belief is that by switching to the original caveman diet, we can then
reduce inflammation and ultimately reduce the chances of developing lifestyle diseases.
As this theory is relatively new, there are no long-term studies of people on the Paleo diet to
substantiate any claims. As with all trending diets, the Paleo diet has its fair share of controversy
and criticism. However, a well-executed Paleo diet can be nutritionally sound, low in carbohydrate
calories and devoid of any processed foods.
86
GO PALEO!
A well-executed
Paleo diet can be
nutritionally sound,
low in carbohydrate
calories and devoid
of any processed
foods, says Eugene.
Paleo in a nutshell
WHAT IS ALLOWED:
1 Unrestricted amounts of vegetables
but limit starchy vegetables like
sweet potatoes and taro.
2 Whole fruits and moderate amount
of juice from low sugar containing
fruits.
3 Lean cuts of meat from grass fed
animals.
4 Seafood and shellfish.
5 Nuts and seeds.
6 Cold-pressed oils (olive, coconut,
walnut, sesame, macadamia,
hazelnut, avocado).
7 Butter from grass fed cows is
allowed.
8 Natural whole sweeteners
in moderation (raw honey,
unprocessed maple syrup, coconut
sugar, stevia).
Like our early ancestors, you are
recommended to rotate and consume
through a wide range of different
foods rather than sticking to staples.

A STORY
FOR EVERY TEA
In Tealy, we taste, we explore, we discover.
A place where adventure brews.
n The Beginning
Tea left an indelible mark on the history of mankind. Originating from the
Qin dynasty more than two thousand years ago, it has conquered the palates
of virtually every race on earth and became one of the most sought-after
beverages worldwide.
Who is Tealy?
Here at Tealy, we believe in the exquisiteness of tea, that every tea leaf bears its own
tales of growth and adventure, and we are committed to present these stories to you in
their most authentic form. Each year, we travel around the world and explore numerous
90
plantations to uncover the most eccentric flavors and the finest leaves. Handpicked and crafted
by our very own tea masters, our tea leaves epitomise class and sophistication.
Tealy are purveyors of the finest tea experience, by exploring the world of teas - from the bold
spices of the East to the genteel luxury of the West. Each leaf is carefully selected to bring you
a sensory feast unlike any other.
Our premium tea isnt distinguished by flavour, but by the adventure each sip unravels. At
Tealy, we redefine tea.
We believe we are more than just about tea. We are a lifestyle, a way of looking at life, a way of
enjoying life, a way of living life, and in doing so, we discover life.
Where Adventure Brews
Tealy invites you to experience tea like never before. Where every sip is a journey to worlds far
yet close by. We brave the icy tundra of Russia, seek the forgotten wisdom of temples of China,
or steal a quiet afternoon in the parks of London. All it takes is a swill of a cup.
We believe tea isnt just about old origin. It is a personal expedition in any moment. Steeped in
distinction; tasted and lived with every leaf you choose; enjoy the moment.
Tealy is launching a new blend of green tea beyond our wildest imagination, a crafted base on
the Legendary War of the Far East; and we have named it, Eight Secrets from the Far East.

Service is stellar too. When my husband felt peckish before making a trip down to Seminyak which is an hour
away, the staff actually packed a goodie bag filled with crackers and nuts for him to munch on in the car! There
are also thoughtful touches like refreshing face mist, cool cucumber body milk and insect repellent on every table

evening, allowing me to enjoy my wonderful room just a little more.
When we were there, we witnessed a couple exchanging their wedding vows in their Cliff-edge Sunset Cabana,
an overhanging cliffside platform with a dramatic view over the Indian Ocean, making for a truly spectacular
experience, not to mention photos! In fact, every corner in this resort is Instagram-worthy, and I soon joined the
many snap-happy guests, and flooded my social media feeds with stunning photos, inciting major travel lust in
my friends. Although it rained during most of our time in Bali, I was more than happy to stay in my villa, curled
up with a good book on my expansive sofa by the pool with a cup of green tea while listening to soothing jazz my
idea of heaven on earth!
