Powerful Profhilo
Have you heard of Profhilo? This anti-ageing injectable has been making waves since launching in Singapore! Formulated with pure hyaluronic acid, the bio-remodelling injectable promises to tighten loose skin, smoothen wrinkles, reduce scars and increase skin hydration levels. Compared to the average skin booster, Profhilo contains around five times more hyaluronic acid. You can look forward to firmer, lifted and brightened skin after one month.

Gentle and suitable for sensitive skin, they’re also free of nasties like parabens, mineral oils and fragrances.
Ask the expert: “How can I pull off a red lip colour without looking over the top?”
In this new column, NMITA DOAK, founder of award-winning makeup brand Amplio, answers our questions on makeup and more.
Let’s call out the elephant in the room. For many of us, red lips are thought of as more suitable for an evening occasion. I dislike this concept of limiting such a vibrant and sophisticated colour to only a small part of our lives. Red is a “power colour” that can be worn at any time of the day! Knowing your skin undertones is important in finding the right shade of red for you. If you have cooler undertones, a cool red with blue undertones like Amplio Rocket Red Lipstay and Lip Stylo will complement and brighten fair skin naturally without making you look washed out. These lip products have a beautiful way of complementing each other and changing up your look. If you have warmer undertones (golden or yellow), I’d suggest something in the orange spectrum such as the MAC Cosmetics Lustre Lipstick.
For medium skin tones, you can wear pretty much any red lipstick you like! The Amplio Dazzling Drishti Lip Gloss or Cabernet Merlot Lipstay will look amazing on you. For darker skin tones, go bold! A deep, rich, brown-toned red that has depth, like the Amplio Ruby Berry, will make your lips feel and look lush.
Gift of beauty
Known for its numerous health benefits, turmeric is thought to have been used as long as 4,000 years ago as a superfood in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Formulated in Switzerland and made in Singapore, the new GN Nano Curcumin Serum ($398) harnesses the powerful anti-inflammatory effects of its extract, curcumin. The highly concentrated serum, which contains 98 percent pure curcumin extract, is made using a unique processing method that extracts two to five percent of curcumin present in the top 10 finest turmeric species from Nepal and India. Benefits of consuming the premium supplement include a strengthened immune system, healthier skin and better sleep.
