[ Review ] Hyaah Perfect Layering Sun Lotion

 

Product Description

Hyaah Perfect Layering Sun Lotion SPF50 PA++++ is a sunscreen that should be applied day and night, for all ages and genders. It provides 12-hour protection with just one application and can be layered two to three times without clumping or caking.

I had good experiences with Hyaah products such as Hyaah All In One Ectoin Lotion, Hyaah Synergy Mask Pad and Hyaah Licorice First Essence so I was happy to be able to try out Hyaah Perfect Layering Sun Lotion, gifted by Stylekorean some time back, without any obligation to review it. 

I started using this sunscreen after finishing both Melixir Vegan Airfit Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++ and Isntree Onion Newpair Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++, making it a good opportunity to see how it compares as an everyday sunscreen for Singapore's humid weather. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Hyaah Perfect Layering Sun Lotion comes in a 40ml squeeze tube, making it easy to dispense just the right amount of product. It has a light floral fragrance that is pleasant without being overpowering.

The sunscreen has a white, lightweight lotion texture that spreads effortlessly across the skin. According to Hyaah, its unique "skin-light" formula may occasionally feel thinner than expected. If that happens, the brand recommends shaking the tube two to three times before dispensing the product again.

[ Review ] Quinoa Hand Cream

 

Product Description

Highly effective moisturizer that penetrates deeply without leaving a sticky residue. This allows skin to breathe resulting in soft, supple, smooth skin. Perfect for rough, aging or wrinkle concerns, leaving youthful looking hands. 

I first discovered the Quinoa Hand Cream during my trip to Taiwan in 2024 while browsing an organic store. As someone with perpetually dry hands, I'm always on the lookout for a hand cream that provides long-lasting hydration, so I couldn't resist picking this one up, especially with its short ingredient list. 

One of the key ingredients, quinoa extract, has attracted attention for its skincare benefits. Laboratory studies have found that quinoa contains bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties that help reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which are enzymes associated with collagen breakdown caused by UV exposure and oxidative stress. 

While these findings are promising, they are based on laboratory research rather than clinical studies on hand creams. Nevertheless, quinoa remains an interesting ingredient that may help support healthier-looking skin.

Quinoa Hand Cream comes in a 60ml white squeeze tube that dispenses a lightweight, creamy formula. It spreads easily across the hands, absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, and is fragrance-free, making it suitable for those who prefer unscented skincare products.

In terms of performance, however, the hand cream fell short of my expectations. Although it feels comfortable immediately after application, it didn't provide enough hydration for my very dry hands, especially in the dry, air-conditioned environment of my office. I found myself needing to reapply it several times throughout the day to keep my hands feeling comfortable. 

If you have normal to slightly dry hands, the lightweight texture may be sufficient, but those with very dry skin may prefer a richer, more nourishing hand cream.

Thanks so much for reading! I hope my Quinoa Hand Cream blog post has been helpful for you.

I received complimentary 50ml travel-sized bottles of the colour shampoo and conditioner with my hair salon package, which I brought along on my recent trip to Hokkaido. Having coloured my hair just three days before my departure, it was the perfect opportunity to see how well they would protect my freshly coloured hair under different climates.

[ Review ] L:a Bruket 270 Gentle Lip Scrub

 

Product Description

L:a Bruket 270 Gentle Lip Scrub is a lip scrub that gently buffs away dull surface skin cells thanks to a unique blend of three gentle, botanical exfoliators (cranberry seed, rosehip seed and crystal sugar from betaine). Enriched with carrot oil and vitamin E, it reveals a new, soft and smooth skin. An essential step to prepare the lips for deep and effective hydration. COSMOS natural certified. 

How To Use :

1) Apply evenly on lips 2 or 3 times a week. 

2) Massage gently with the fingertips in circular movements, the excess can be removed with a damp, warm cloth.

Dry, flaky lips can make lipstick apply unevenly and reduce the effectiveness of your lip balm. A good lip scrub helps to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, leaving your lips feeling softer, smoother, and better prepared to absorb moisturizing lip care products. While regular exfoliation can improve the appearance of dry lips, choosing a lip scrub with nourishing ingredients is equally important to avoid irritation or excessive dryness.

L:a Bruket is a natural and organic skincare made on the west coast of Sweden. Their product development work is backed with a well-established knowledge of natural skincare and believe in nurturing formula with only the natural molecules it can absorb and utilize to perform better.

[ Review ] Lululun Hokkaido Milk Mask

 

Product Description

Hokkaido Limited Edition LuLuLun face masks deliver deep nourishment using carefully selected natural ingredients from the vast lands of Hokkaido. Designed for daily use, these masks help you achieve soft, hydrated, and healthy-looking skin every day.

Ever since returning from my trip to Hokkaido, I've come home with another stash of Japanese sheet masks to try. Although I used to be an avid sheet mask user, I significantly reduced my usage over the past 3 years, preferring rinse-off masks instead. I find rinse-off masks more economical and effective with consistent use, but they aren't always practical when I need a quick skincare boost or when I'm travelling.

There are times when my skin looks dull, tired, and dehydrated, and that's when a good hydrating sheet mask really shines. In just 10 to 15 minutes, it can instantly refresh the complexion and leave the skin looking healthier and more radiant. These days, I mainly use sheet masks as an occasional treatment alongside my regular rinse-off masks.

When travelling, however, sheet masks become an essential part of my skincare routine. Between long flights, changing climates, and busy sightseeing days, I rely on both rinse-off masks and sheet masks to keep my skin hydrated, comfortable, and glowing.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Lululun Hokkaido Milk Mask comes in a convenient resealable pouch containing seven sheet masks. The masks are neatly folded and stacked together, making it easy to remove one at a time without creating a mess. The resealable packaging also helps keep the remaining masks fresh and prevents the essence from drying out.

The sheet mask has a subtle milky fragrance that is light and pleasant without being overpowering.
