Recently, Pearlin, our darling Social Media Connector, has cordially invited me for a complimentary Spa Treatment at TOUCHE™ Elite @ Orchard Hotel Shopping Arcade. I’m glad to be invited for this exclusive treatment.
Upon reaching the spa, I was warmly welcomed by 3 beautiful ladies at the counter. The Spa Manager briskly showed me around and also briefly introduced the varies treatments available at TOUCHE™ Elite.

There are total of 4 TOUCHE outlets in Singapore. TOUCHE™ Elite, an exclusive spa, provides 2 great top-notch beauty treatments which are only exclusively available at TOUCHE™ Elite. And they are DNA-RNA Platinum NanoPLUS Treatment and Grape Wine AntioxidantPLUS Treatment.

As I have no idea on what spa treatment will they be offering me in the first place. I was extremely delighted when the manager offered their popular Elite Clinical Radio Frequency (RF) Skin Treatment as my complimentary treatment. Seems like they can read my mind……….hee hee………..I love anything that can do skin lifting task!

Yesterday, I was a little moody and depressed. I didn’t get to sleep well the night before.
I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about something “personal” that I couldn’t let go. My smile was vanished and I was very quiet on the first half of the day.
But fortunately, my BLUE day has turned into JOLLY day on the second half of the day, thanks to those wonderful gifts I’ve received. They have made my day and my spirit was high again!…………(Grin)
.
My First Smile


I have received a beautiful Perricone MD gift box that contains Vitamin Ester Eye Serum (my favourite), Nutritive Cleanser, Serum Prep and Face Finishing Moisture. I love them all! Muacks!!
.
My Second Smile

I’ve indulged myself with the complimentary luxury Spa-Jet Capsule Treatment at Clariancy Aesthetic Clinic @ Raffles Hotel. I was the Queen Of The Day! I don’t even need to shower myself and the therapist will do the dirty work. Hee hee…….. I get to enjoy the soothing exfoliation, steaming with far infrared heat that helps better nutrients penetration, true hydro-massage therapy, via Vichy shower and under-body water massage. WOO!! It was one of the best relaxing spa experience I ever have so far. It was like HEAVEN!!! (Stay tuned for my full review)
.
My Third Smile

After the Spa Capsule Treatment, the director of Clariancy Aesthetic Clinic generously presented me with a complimentary BBS Pro device (worth $199) that utilizes vibration, heating and cleansing effects of ultrasonic waves to improve skin nutrients penetration, stimulate collagen, lifting and break down fat cells. Can’t wait to try this product, love it too!

If you have read the #1 New York Times bestseller book “The Wrinkle Cure”, you probably will know the famous author Dr. Nicholas V. Perricone, M.D. In fact, I only get to discover his range of products Perricone MD Skincare after reading his first book “The Wrinkle Cure” two years ago.
.

.
In the book “The Wrinkle Cure”, Nicholas Perricone, a renowned anti-aging expert, features the all-natural program that has already helped thousands, the instant Face-Lift ingredient DMAE that tightens skin almost instantly, the sugar taboo that will speed aging, and the antioxidant (alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C Ester) plan revitalizes your skin from the outside and inside, reducing and effectively erasing wrinkles and blemishes, no matter your skin color or type, no matter your age!
.

.
He is also the bestseller author of The Perricone Promise and The Perricone Prescription. And his most recent books are Dr. Perricone’s 7 Secrets to Beauty, Health and Longevity and Ageless Face, Ageless Mind.
.

.
Recently I was delighted to be invited for a preview on Perricone MD Skincare and the newly launched COLD PLASMA at Metro Paragon. Upon arriving, I was immediately served with a refreshing green tea cocktail and a palette of fruits and sandwiches.
.

.
Perricone MD Skincare is launched in Singapore in late April 2010 and is available at escentials @ Tangs Orchard, Metro Paragon, Robinsons Centrepoint, Robinsons Raffles City. You may also find Perricone MD Skincare at Sephora but it doesn’t carry the full range.
.

.
Dr. Perricone, a board certified clinical and research dermatologist, is regarded as the Inflammation Theory of Aging. After years of research Dr. Perricone arrived at the conclusion that cellular inflammation may be the underlying cause of wrinkles. According to Dr. Perricone, this inflammation is not the redness that is visible to the naked eye but rather microscopic irritation that takes place in your cells leading to cellular damage. He believes that this inflammation is responsible for skin-related problems like breakouts, wrinkles and loss of firmness.
.

.
Dr. Perricone pioneers a three-tiered program of using natural antioxidants in diet, supplements and topical formulations from his award-winning line of skin care products and cosmeceuticals to reduce the age-accelerating effects of inflammation. Through his program this type of inflammation can be stopped, which slows down the skin’s aging process and even reverses existing damage.

“Wrinkled, sagging skin is not the inevitable result of growing older. It is a disease and you can fight it. You can look your best, feel your best, and enjoy beautiful skin and optimal health every day of your life.” - Dr. Perricone

Sun is the #1 cause of skin aging
Are you wearing any sunscreen now? If you don’t, you probably will be or already are suffering from pigmentation, uneven skin tone, dull skin, dry skin, sagging, wrinkles, fine lines, loss of elasticity, and many many more.
.
90% of skin aging can be prevented with daily sunscreen use
Despite warnings from medical experts, many people today still do not include sunscreen use in their daily skin care regimen. The reasons vary but common complaints cited are that sunscreens are thick feeling, and can appear opaque and oily on skin. Other complaints are that formulas clog pores and cause breakouts.
In response to customers’ demand for a powerful daily sun protection against UVA and UVB rays with an appealing, ultra-lightweight, oil-free, fragrance-free and translucent application, Kiehl’s has introduced Ultra Light Daily UV Defense SPF 50 PA+++. The formula is designed to be a lightweight shield of sun protection which can and should be layered on top of any other treatment or moisturizer you may be using - as the last step before any makeup application.

I have to confess! I’m a super fan of Nu Ren Wo Zui Da 女人我最大, a popular Taiwanese Beauty Variety Show. Many months back, it has featured a new whitening collection by Estée Lauder - Estée Lauder CyberWhite Ex. Lao Niu Da Ke 牛爾老師, the Taiwan’s most famous beauty advisor demonstrated the usage of these products on a model. I was surprised to see amazing results and therefore decided to make a trip down to one of the Estée Lauder outlet to check out the products.
After some product testings at the counter, I immediately fall in love with the CyberWhite Ex Extra Intensive Purifying Treatment. This interesting foaming whitening mask is considered one of the best innovative breakthrough by Estée Lauder.
I was delighted to receive a complimentary Estée Lauder CyberWhite Ex Extra Intensive Purifying Treatment after a request to the office.

SANA’S Natural Resource Bloggers Challenge
First we started with a discussion on the causes of sensitive skin and the correct regimen for it. Follow by with a skin diagnosis session so as to sponsor us with the right products. The blogger’s challenge is to test all the complimentary SANA’s Natural Resource set for a month after which a regroup will be made to access our skin to see the difference between before and after the usage.
.
What causes sensitive skin?
Many people with sensitive skin will usually have dry skin too. If your skin is sensitive and dry, you may feel sore, tight, itching, redness, burning or stinging. As sensitive skin is not usually genetic, it is often caused by UV rays, stress, dryness, inflammation, dirt and skin-irritant ingredients like alcohol and fragrance. Appropriate cleansing, moisturizing, and UV protection are required to keep healthy skin condition.
.
SANA’s Natural Resource Sensitive Skin Challenge -
Do You Dare It?
SANA’s Natural Resource, derived from natural ingredients, are specially created for sensitive skin.
This natural brand contains six botanical ingredients such as Balsam Extract, Wild Rose Extract, Megwort Extract, White Birch Extract, Brown Sugar Extract and Adlay Extract, treating delicate skin from within. These gentle products mildly treat skin that are rough, acne, discolorations by dead skin and damage from ultralight rays. It is believe that the function of natural ingredients resembling the skin’s barrier agent gently protect sensitive skin from outside.
What I like about this botanical brand is the refreshing natural aroma.
The natural aromas are Lavender, Bergamote (Orange), Rosewood, Geranlum and Grapefruit.
.
.
SANA’s Natural Resource is additive-free. NO colorants, mineral oil, alcohol (except Skin Lotion AC), paraben, ultraviolet ray absorbent agent and artificial fragrances.
