Every month, we bring you the latest skincare, hair and makeup news, including new beauty products, services and stores in Singapore. Take a look if you’re keen to try something new!
Oil-Free Hydration
Want deep skin hydration without the oily feel? Promising soft, “mochi-like” skin, Garnier’s new Dry Touch Cream is specifically designed for hot, humid Asian climates. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, hydrates deeply for up to 48 hours and leaves a soft, matte finish without oiliness. Available in three finishes (matte, bright or plump), you can comfortably wear it under make-up or alone, as it locks in moisture while reducing shine, so your skin always feels light and fresh.
Quiet Scents, Lasting Mood
Looking for the perfect summer fragrance? Acqua di Parma introduces Buongiorno La Collezione, a new fragrance line that explores quiet, everyday moments through scent. It features five eaux de parfums designed as soft “skin scents”, each blending notes such as citrus, musk, woods and iris to evoke feelings of warmth, stillness or gentle energy while inviting a refined appreciation for simplicity.
Time for a Boost!
If you’ve been wanting to add skin boosters to your aesthetic routine but are not quite sure which one suits you, type 1 collagen injections could be a good place to start. According to Dr Sy Li Lin from Fundamental Aesthetic Medical Clinic, these minimally invasive treatments use purified equinederived collagen to restore the skin’s structural framework from within to stimulate natural collagen production. They’re especially effective for crepey skin on the neck, hands and décolletage, as well as fine lines and atrophic scars.

Silky Smooth Hair Care
Skincare-inspired haircare brand myBoostars recently introduced the InSilk Boost Smooth & Shine series, designed to deliver glossy, smooth and effortlessly polished hair for every day. The collection includes shampoo, treatment and a two-in-one booster mist that can be applied before or after washing, blending salon quality ingredients like hydrolysed silk and Japanese seaweed extract to help you manage dull, frizzy and damaged hair. The products are available islandwide at major stores such as Guardian, Don Don Donki, Welcia and online.
Wake Up Tired Skin
Could caffeine do more than just wake your brain up in the morning? Say hello to The Ordinary’s new Caffeine 3% + Escin 1% Face Serum, an energising formula designed to reduce visible signs of fatigue. The lightweight emulsion, powered by lab-synthesised caffeine and escin, works to reduce visible redness within four hours while boosting radiance and hydration. With continued use, it lifts, firms and smooths the skin for a more toned, awake-looking appearance. It’s now available on The Ordinary website, Shopee and TikTok Shop, and will be available at Sephora from 8 July.
Brighten from Within
Fans of La Prairie will be thrilled about this new launch under the brand’s iconic White Caviar Collection. The new White Caviar Light Infusion Eye Serum is designed for brightening and de-puffing by harnessing the power of caviar extract, a proprietary cellular complex and brightening molecules to target dark spots and discolouration. It’s an exciting addition to a range that includes the popular Light Infusion Essence and the Eye Extraordinaire, with every product crafted to improve skin clarity by targeting pigmentation at its source while supporting structure and hydration.
EL Quickfire: Salon Secrets
The awkward questions you’ve been wondering about but never dared to ask your hairstylist… answered by Kat from Expat Hair Studio!
Should I wash my hair before my appointment?
The answer is yes, if you’ve been to the gym or your hair is quite oily. We don’t need the hair to be super clean, but it also shouldn’t be too dirty as we have to work colour through it.
What if I hate my hair?
Always communicate at the start what you like and don’t like – then hopefully you’ll never hate your hair! If you don’t feel the stylist is understanding you, I wouldn’t get your hair cut there. I always believe that with great communication comes great hair, but always be honest as we prefer to make you happy.
Do expensive products work?
Yes, 100 percent. There are important ingredients in professional shampoos and conditioners that supermarket brands don’t have to keep the colour safe and the hair in great condition. Is small talk expected? All we want is a great consultation so we know exactly what you like and don’t like. After that, we’re more than happy to focus on our work. I’m the one who loves a chat, but I totally get it if you don’t!
What do stylists wish clients knew?
Hair has gotten more expensive as the services and the work that goes into creating the new looks take time. Instagram and social media have changed the way we do hair for sure. All the stylists I work with don’t do hairdressing for money. Making you feel good and happy is why we love our jobs.

Exosomes for a Youthful Glow
If you’ve been curious about the benefits of exosomes, you’ll want to check out AsterSpring’s new Exosome Rejuvenation Treatment, now available across its nine locations in Singapore (including One Holland Village, Pasir Ris Mall and United Square). The 90-minute skin longevity treatment combines innovative resurfacing technology with the world’s first bacterial exosome system, which delivers over 10 billion active vegan exosomes to the skin. It’s designed to support skin barrier recovery while improving firmness, radiance and resilience – perfect before a big event or if you want a solution that goes beyond traditional anti-ageing, all without needles or downtime.
Shape & Sculpt
If you’ve been considering minimally invasive surgery to help refine your silhouette, Pearl Plastic Surgery, Laser & Scar Clinic is worth having on your radar. Located at Royal Square Medical Centre, the clinic specialises in advanced rib remodelling, a refined procedure designed to create a more contoured, narrower waistline. Backed by international training, Dr Pearlie Tan focuses on combining precision and artistry to deliver elegant, natural-looking results. Each patient undergoes a thorough assessment, including bioimpedance body composition analysis and ultrasound evaluation for diastasis recti, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of their anatomy. A personalised treatment plan is then developed, tailored to individual goals and proportions. Get in touch with Dr Pearlie to find out more.
Salon-Grade Hair Care, Anywhere!
After five years of formulation with Italian labs, luxury hair salon KimRobinson has launched the KR Rescue System, a professional haircare line created for diverse Asian hair types in hot, humid climates. This was born from founder and celebrity hairstylist Kim Robinson’s frustration with silicone-heavy products that leave scalps oily and congested. The solution? High-performance formulas designed to deliver deep hydration without compromising scalp health. The range includes the Scalp Rescue Kit and Colour Rescue Kit in home (250ml) and travel (100ml) sizes, alongside the Pro Style Paste (100ml). Each kit also includes an SOS Spray for heat and UV protection. Available at KimRobinson’s Takashimaya salon and online.
EL’s Rebecca Reviews a Collagen Serum
“There are differing views on externally applied collagen, but I do think serums are a great way to deliver it into the skin. And then, of course, follow up with moisturisers or oils on top to prevent water loss. The Recombinant Serum from Revagi is a good one because, in addition to firming and smoothing, it also reduces redness, sensitivity and dry patches on the skin. I’ve seen a huge improvement in all of these after just a month of use. I also like that it’s alcohol-free, unscented and free of parabens.”

Your New Favourite Foundation
Love that matte oil-free look that lasts all day? The new Natural Matte Longwear Foundation from NARS could be for you. With a super lightweight feel, the formula delivers medium-to-full coverage for up to 24 hours with a soft-focus effect that blurs imperfections. Even better, thanks to its Pore-Refining Trio skincare technology, the foundation has been found to visibly smooth skin texture while improving pore appearance over time. Available now at NARS boutiques, Sephora and Lazada.
New LED Face Mask for Anti-Ageing
Considered a premium brand for massage guns, Therabody is entering the beauty sphere with the launch of the TheraFace Mask Glo ($549). It uses advanced 504 red, infrared and blue LED lights to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines, improve radiance and enhance facial contours.
At its recent launch event at PURE Yoga, guests had a chance to test out the standard 12-minute cycle of the TheraFace Mask Glo while moving through a yin-yang yoga session and a relaxing sound bath. Keep your eyes peeled at expatliving.sg for our review of the mask!
Soft, Feathery Brows
If you’ve been putting off eyebrow embroidery because you’re worried about ending up with overly bold brows, you’ll be happy to hear that SleekBrow on East Coast Road has introduced Airstroke (Machine Hairstroke), a newer embroidery technique that’s gentler than traditional microblading. It creates fine, airy strokes that closely mimic real brow hair with soft, subtle definition. The best part? There’s minimal redness even right after the session (pictured) and no downtime, making it great for those with busy schedules seeking low-maintenance brows.
SleekBrow is one of the few salons in Singapore to have mastered this technique with consistency, so you’ll know you’re in trusted hands.
A Cult-Favourite Herbal Peeling Treatment
Hair and beauty salon The Blonde Tourage on Club Street is now offering the popular Green Peel Fresh Up treatment at $99 (usual price $200) for a limited time! This non-invasive facial, created by dermatologist Dr Christine Schrammek, brightens, tightens and rejuvenates tired or dull skin without downtime or visible peeling. Using a 100 percent natural herbal blend, it polishes the skin’s surface, stimulates circulation, boosts metabolism, and enhances cell regeneration. Perfect for an immediate “glow effect” before special occasions or for tackling early signs of ageing, sun damage and uneven texture.
Bold & Beautiful
Get a taste of the makeup looks that are set to define the rest of the year with Tom Ford’s newly launched AutumnWinter 2026 collection, which leans into bold, artistry inspired colour. We’re loving the Runway Eye Color Quad eyeshadow palette featuring perfectly curated powder and cream shades. Also new to the lineup are the Runway Eye Gloss for extra shine on the lids and the Runway Lip Stylo Matte, a hydrating velvet-soft lipstick. Finish the look with the Architecture Soft Matte Blush for a subtle, blended flush and you’re good to go.
Dark & Fruity
Say hello to Tom Ford’s newest arrival to its Private Blend collection. The Figue Érotique fragrance is a tribute to the rare Kadota fig, from its exhilarating green freshness to the plush sweetness of ripe fruit. Blended with fig leaf, violet leaf, mandarin, baies rose and muscovado sugar, it’s a sensual, layered scent – housed in an equally gorgeous signature structural glass bottle with pale violet accents and a jewel‑like interior.
Light Easy Skincare
Not a fan of slathering on thick, creamy formulas in humid Singapore? You’ll love The Ordinary’s new Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion. This intensely hydrating moisturiser comes in a lightweight, milky texture that challenges the idea that deep hydration must come from a rich, heavy cream. Promising up to 24 hours of moisture while feeling almost weightless on the skin, it’s perfect for everyday wear even in our tropical climate.
Try a Cryotherapy Facial!
Here’s a treatment to add to your beauty agenda this month: SkinLab The Medical Spa is offering an exclusive first-trial price for its Cryotherapy Hydrating Facial at just $149.50. Blending ultrasonic high-frequency vibrations (powered by Korea’s I-Cool Plus system with 28,000 vibrations per second) and cold therapy, the advanced facial gives you a deep cleanse, clears out blackheads and floods your skin with hydration. Perfect for stimulating collagen and helping with preventing breakouts in Singapore’s humid weather.
A Solution to Pigmentation?
If you’re struggling with dark spots and dullness, Clé de Peau Beauté’s newly reformulated Brightening Supreme Series might be your answer. Powered by years of research and the brand’s innovative Future Sculpt Technology, the collection features two hero products: the Brightening Serum Supreme, which can be used daily, and the Brightening Mask Treatment Supreme for once-weekly intensive care. Both are infused with rare luminous algae extract and 4MSK (potassium 4-methoxysalicylate, a powerful skin brightening agent) to help give your skin that youthful, gorgeous glow.
Available in-store and online at Sephora. cledepeau-beaute.com

Rouge Noir, one of the house’s most iconic nail polish shades, has been reimagined into a limitededition collection of makeup spanning matte lip colours, eyeshadows, blushes and even a trio of brushes with Rouge Noir handles all drawing inspiration from that cult-favourite deep red-black shade that made its debut back in 1995.
From Frazzled to Fully Restored
Trade frazzled, over-processed hair for soft, glossy locks with The Ultimate Hair Healing Ritual at The Blonde Tourage salon on Club Street. An indulgent, restorative experience designed for Singapore’s humidity, this intensive in-salon ritual blends Brazilian-inspired repair technology with targeted scalp care, bond-rebuilding boosters and layered hydration to restore strength, smoothness and shine. It’s ideal for anyone juggling stress or hair changes due to hormones or hard water. Consider it an invitation to pause, rebalance and step out feeling fully restored, with gorgeous hair to boot!
Natural Deodorants for Humid Weather
Singapore-born clean beauty brand AporeNaturals, known for its line of 100 percent natural roll-on deodorants designed specifically for tropical climates, has launched the new lily-neroli blend, a fresh, skinloving formula offering long-lasting odour protection without irritation. We love that all their deodorants are vegan, crueltyfree, aluminium-free and baking soda-free, making them ideal for sensitive skin. Also, cheers to natural deodorants that actually work in high humidity!
An Artsy Affair
Just in time for February, Clé de Peau Beauté is launching two gorgeous collections you’ll want to get your hands on. The Lunar New Year Collection celebrates the Year of the Horse with two signature products, The Serum and La Créme, presented in limited-edition packaging that features acrylic woodblock printing by artist Jiang Miao. Prefer something romantic? The Valentine’s Love Collection, meanwhile, brings dreamy butterfly designs by paper artist Giselle Balosso-Bardin to products like the Radiant Cushion Foundation and Lipstick.
Goodbye, Pigmentation!
Looking to get your skin glowing for Valentine’s Day and beyond? Illuminate Medispa at Dempsey Hill offers a host of laser pigmentation removal procedures. The Trifecta Glow Laser Treatment, for instance, uses picosecond and nanosecond laser pulses to break down melanin and stimulate natural skin regeneration. Beyond tackling melasma and hormonal pigmentation, acne scars and uneven skin tone, it also helps to boost collagen, minimise pores and smooth out texture. What’s great is that it works for a wide range of skin tones – Fitzpatrick types I to V – and is specifically designed for sensitive or melanin-rich skin. Sessions are quick too – just 15 to 30 minutes. You can pop in and out easily, with most people seeing visible lightening after the first or second session.
Feeling Rosy
Get ready to smell amazing and look glowy all day – Sol de Janeiro has launched two new products inspired by the classic rose. The Rosa Charmosa Dewy Cream is a whipped body cream that gives an instant glow with 48-hour hydration. Pair it with the Cheirosa 91 Perfume Mist, a fragrance blending Rio pink rose, passionfruit and honey caramel for a scent that’s fresh and fun. Both products are now available at Sephora stores.
Seriously Pretty
Model Kaia Gerber has teamed up with NARS Cosmetics for their first-ever collaboration! The Afterglow Lip Balm collection offers 24-hour hydration in a spectrum of shades from flirty pinks to warm neutrals. It also has a buttery formula that glides on oh-so-easily. Then there’s the Deeply Blooming Collection, which introduces new Afterglow Sensual Shine Lipstick and Blush shades inspired by blooming florals – think plums, berries and soft pinks – that work whether you’re going for something soft and romantic or bold and daring.
A New Serum to Try
Level up your skincare routine in 2026! The newly launched NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum comes courtesy of professional-grade skincare brand Dermalogica. A first-of-its-kind facial sculpting serum, the formula targets facial symmetry, elasticity and firmness with ingredients such as biomimetic botanicals, winged kelp and rosewood extract to help lift, contour and strengthen the skin.
Golden Locks
Enjoy good hair days all festive season long with Oribe’s new limited-edition Holiday 2025 Collection “Golden Threads” in collaboration with Finnish multidisciplinary artist Kustaa Saksi.
