044 - Palmer’s White & Even Dark Spot Corrector

Now a huge fan of Palmer’s after introducing two of their products, I’m back with 2 more amazing products they have in store for us!

What is the number 1 sign of ageing?

Recent studies show that above wrinkles and loss of firmness, discoloration is the #1 perceivable sign of ageing amongst women. Obvious reasons are because even skin tones will appear more attractive and healthy, and also judged to be younger in age too!

So what causes hyperpigmentation and how can we treat it?

One of the most common reasons is UV exposure and other factors include acne scarring, severe dryness and hormonal changes. They appear in the form of age spots, freckles, melasma etc. The areas which the sun hits the most are in the dangerous zones and we have to take extra care of them and by that I don’t mean just the face. Hands, neck and shoulders are equally important too!

The Palmer’s White & Even range is formulated with an advanced blend of potent yet gentle ingredients that reduces hyperpigmentation and has unique skin tone correcting formulations. The range is free of parabens, phthalates, sulphates, harsh dyes, synthetic dyes and fragrances and is appropriate for all skin types. Yay!

When used daily, Palmer’s White & Even products lightens surface skin cells producing more uniform skin tone within 3-5 days and also acts on the deeper skin layers to inhibit over-production of melanin. Even skin tone develops as skin cells rise to the surface. In as little as 4 weeks, you will be able to see an overall improvement on the discoloration and dark spots! Some points to note:

- Continued exposure to sun will work against the effects of the products, so sunscreen protection is VERY IMPORTANT.

- Discontinued use of Eventone will allow the over-production of melanin to resume and dark spots will return.

The Palmer’s White & Even Dark Spot Corrector is very lightweight and there is no burden on my skin after application. It is not oily (very important to me) and absorbs well on the skin quickly, leaving me with no troubles on my morning makeup routine. =) Apart from this,  I even more so love the Palmer’s  White & Even Dark Circle Correcting Eye Treatment. As seen from the picture, this treatment gel has this shimmery, glittery thing in it and this brightens up the eye area instantly even without makeup! With this, I only need a weeny bit of concealer on my undereye area and I’m good to go! =)

The full Palmer’s White & Even range can be found at the following retail stores:
Watsons, Guardian, BHG, Robinsons, John Little, Essentials Pharmacy, Nishino Pharmacy, all leading pharmacies, departmental and cosmetics stores

Retail Price:
Palmer’s White & Even Dark Spot Corrector - $29.90/30ml

041- Palmer’s Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion For Instant Cooling

What exactly is cocoa butter?

Extracted from the cocoa bean, cocoa butter is known as the superfood for skin which consists of natural anti-oxidant that fights free radicals that can damage skin. It is a rich moisturiser which leaves skin soft and silky, transforming even the roughest, driest area into buttery soft skin.

Check out this video for more cocoa butter info!

The latest innovation from Palmer's is its new range of moisturising spray lotions. The Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion which I am going to introduce you provides deep moisture in an instant. This non-greasy formula sprays on easily and the RapidSorb® Technology allows for quick absorption, leaving skin soft and smooth with 24 hour moisturization.

Directions of Use:
Hold can 3-4 inches from skin and spray in a continuous motion. Rub gently into skin.  

Before

After

My feel of this product is that it really does moisturise my skin rapidly with quick absorption. It is lightweight and non-greasy (which is perfect) so that I can get dressed quickly without having my clothes sticking on me. One con of this spray lotion is that it is difficult to control how much to spray, especially during the first few uses. There will be a tendency to overspray due to the amount that is being dispensed out in each spray.

A lover of Palmer's products, Sonia Sui (my 偶像 too!) is now the brand ambassador of Palmer's, endorsing the range of Palmer's products! Catch her using the Palmer's Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion in their latest advertisement below! 

Palmer's Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion for Instant Cooling can be purchased at Watsons, Guardian, Fairprice, BHG, Robinsons, John Little and leading cosmetic stores at $17.90/ 200g.

038 - Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil for Face (Product Review)

Hello there! It has been awhile since I have last reviewed a product. Sample Store send me more, pretty please? Hee.

It's been almost a month since the start of CNY. How time flies!! Sometimes I really wish time can slow down a little so that we can make full use of each passing day. Or maybe it's just me reaching a stage where birthdays come too quickly each year that I am now afraid to count the number of candles on my cake. >.<

But of course to console myself and everybody else, age is just a number! What's most important is to feel young and look young(that's what everybody hope)! 

So, what's the key thing to looking young? Personally I feel that the facial skin condition is one of the most important factors. By saying skin condition, I don't just mean clear skin without acne problems. The tightness of the skin plays an important role in showing your age on the face too. Fine lines at the eye area and neck are now all too familiar to me. :(

Before I go into the details, let's look at the short video of the product which I'm going to share! :)

Sooooo.... I have applied the Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil for Face and Neck religiously for the past 4 nights and here are my Before and After photos (Left: Before, Right: After)!

Okay, so sorry if I have frightened anybody. But these are my bare-faced photos la. Note that even though my dark eye rings still look bad, my face do look brighter on the whole! :)

Fine lines begone! I don't want you anywhere on my face! Honestly I was truly surprised to see this set of results, coz I was trying really hard to get rid of the fine lines below my eyes and now they are almost gone! Anyway the lines on my eye lid is probably because I squinted harder when taking the "After" photo, so it looks worse than the "Before" photo. 

For the neck, I couldn't really see significant results yet. Maybe coz the lines are thicker and more obvious so more time is required? Lol. We shall see again.

All in all, I am pleasantly amazed at the results that Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil for Face have given me and will definitely continue to use it. Like many of you (I am quite sure), I am skeptical about applying oil on my face. What if it resulted in oily skin, or worse still oil bumps? Not to worry because the formula is light and treats deep into your skin! I'm glad that I've tried and I'll not look back! :)

The Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil for Face is retailing at S$29.90 and you can purchase this product at Watsons, Guardian, Unity, Robinsons, John Little, BHG, leading pharmacies and cosmetic stores and online stores.
