Introducing THE FACE SHOP The Therapy First Serum, a first-step water-based serum that boasts 100 years of illustrious tradition in its recipe to elevate your skincare regimen. The Therapy First Serum blends crystal particles, European essential oils and French seawater to deliver the desired skincare results. These active ingredients aid in restoring the skin’s radiance by treating and slowing down signs of ageing, rejuvenating its vitality and creating the optimum balance of moisture, transparency and suppleness. Hence, The Therapy First Serum also functions as an instant anti-ageing care.

The Therapy First Serum is recommended for use right after cleansing. Furthermore, it helps to boost absorption and effectiveness of any treatment that follows after the serum’s application, through hydration and light exfoliation. Apart from acting as a serum, The Therapy First Serum can also be easily applied in various ways:

As a first step of skincare

Apply immediately after cleansing to recharge the skin. The serum boosts the efficacy of the next skincare.

As a ‘7-Skin Method’ technique

Pat 7 layers of The Therapy First Serum onto the skin, a routine popularly known in South Korea as the 7-Skin Method for chok chok plump and glowing skin. Over time, the skin stays hydrated longer and becomes more even toned.

As an exfoliation

Apply The Therapy First Serum onto a green tea cotton pad and gently swipe the damp cotton pad from the centre to the outer corner of the face for mild exfoliation.

As a mask

Dampen a sheet mask with The Therapy First Serum, lay it on the face for 20 minutes for a super-charged hydration boost.

As a mist spray

Pour The Therapy First Serum into a mist bottle, spray it onto the face to refresh throughout the day.

As an aroma therapy treatment

Spray The Therapy First Serum on a warm, damp cotton face towel, press the towel onto the face, then inhale deeply for 5 times. The serum’s essential oils like lavender act to calm and relax the mind, body and soul.

As a stress reliever

Pat The Therapy First Serum on the face, perform a face point massage to relieve muscle tension. Cup hands over the nose and the mouth, inhale to relax. Then use the middle finger and press for 3 seconds at each point. Follow the pressure point sequence below starting from the chin. Repeat 3 times. Alternatively, just damp the cotton pad with The Therapy First Serum and place it on both cheeks and forehead for 2 to 3 minutes. It is an effective way to rejuvenate tired and dull skin.

New month, new favourites! With a ton of new beauty launches on our radar, we got hard to work finding the ones that we liked best. Think of us as less beauty-advisor-following-you-around, more beauty-junkies-with-high-expectations.

October is also breast cancer awareness month which means a handful of brands will be doing their part in raising education for the cause and prevention of breast cancer. Take for example, The Estée Lauder Companies, with brands like Aveda, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Estée Lauder, La Mer and Origins, that will be selling Pink Ribbon merch or making donations to organisations around the world.

You could have an arsenal of skincare that works magic on your skin, but there's one thing you can't achieve from a little jar: that highlighter glow. These nifty little shimmer tools aren't the easiest to master, but as always, practice makes perfect. And when you finally nail that swift stroke of highlight, you get a healthy shine that instantly perks up your complexion. So if you need a few pointers, be sure you're not committing these highlighter sins:

#1 Applying too much, too early 

When it comes to makeup, you never want to go full-on. With highlighter especially, it's best to apply as the last step in your makeup process so it looks like a nice glow and not oily skin buried under your blush. And, keep it light. You want your highlighter to pop, not conquer.

Do this: Lightly dust your highlighter onto a fan brush, dust or blow lightly, and sweep gently onto the areas of your face you intend to highlight.

#2 Hitting the wrong spots

There are parts of the face that do well highlighted, and parts that don't. The inner corners of the eyes, bridge of the most, tops of the cheekbones and cupids bow look amazing with a little shimmer. However, the apples of your cheeks should be reserved solely for blush, and you want to keep your forehead away from highlighter too, if not for just a light touch in the centre -- remember to blend that well!

Do this: There's an old trick makeup artists use to pinpoint the areas that need to be highlighted for different faces -- shinning a torchlight right above the face to see where the light hits. These are the exact spots to highlight.

#3 Going too bright, or too dark

While some brands carry just one shade of highlighter, more and more are coming up with highlighters in various shades. We applaud this move because just like foundation, highlighters aren't one-shade-fits-all. Tanned complexions pop with peachy bronzers, and fair complexions look stunning with pearly whites or pinks.

Do this: Choose a highlighter shade that's somewhere between your foundation shade and blush. A good tip is to go with the shade that most closely resembles the light eyeshadow you use right below your brow bone.
