Feast your senses on the unique selection of wellness items and enjoy the fasting month to the fullest.

Healthy Sleep: Rilax Zzz

With waking up for sahur and adjusting to new meal times, our usual sleep pattern may differ during the holy month. This temporary interruption to your usual sleep times may cause you to find it difficult to go to sleep at a new time, or even to get enough hours of sleep every night.

Besides adjusting your sleeping pattern by going to bed early so that you can wake up for sahur and still get an adequate amount of sleep, why not also try Rilax Zzz. With over 2 million capsules sold, Rilax Zzz is Malaysia’s award-winning, best-selling sleep supplement developed by LiveLife Bio Sciences AG, Switzerland. A safe product that doesn’t cause drowsiness and is non-habit forming, the two main relax-inducing ingredients in this all-natural supplement are Latium, an extract of milk; and L-theanine, a caffeine-free extract of green tea. By taking just 1-2 capsules an hour before bed, Rilax Zzz helps set the mood for you to get a more quality night of rest. With better sleep, you’ll have better energy in the day to carry on with daily activities even though you’re fasting!

Healthy Gut - TruDtox

It’s only normal during that when it’s finally time to break your fast, most of us tend to ‘go big’ with our meals, as a well-deserved reward at the end of the day. However, with reduced water intake throughout the day, the sudden consumption of big meals at iftar can be a shock to our stomachs, leading to gas, feeling bloated and constipation

By binging at iftar, your stomach may start to feel unbalanced. By consuming a hot-brewed cup of TruDtox tea, you can support your bowel health by flushing your natural detox functions to maintain a cleaner, healthier and lighter gut. With a comprehensive and proprietory blend of imported high-quality European herbs, floras and teas, TruDtox is a botanical tea free of harsh laxatives such as senna, and is classified by the Malaysian Ministry of Health as a food product. Be sure to also take a few sachets of TruDtox with you when you balik kampong for Raya, as it would do wonders in keeping your tummy feeling healthy while you feast yourself at various open houses!

Skin Saver - Marine Elements™

Is the reduced liquid intake during Ramadhan making your skin feel dry and itchy? When not drinking enough water, everything from washing and wiping yourself can cause dry skin and even other conditions such as parched cuticles around your fingernails. Keep your skin moisturized with the hypoallergenic Marine Elements™ Body Lotion that can help soften the skin’s surface, allowing moisture and nutrients to penetrate deep down. With the patented Zonase X™ active ingredient which contains natural proteins and enzymes, your skin’s moisture will be replenished, reducing any negative effects such as inflammation or itchiness.

Marine Elements™ is great for anyone with eczema and dry skin. Marine Elements™ products are suitable for all skin types and with a range of products that include Body Wash, Body Lotion and Intensive Cream.

Skin Saver - Novexpert Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid

The star product and bestseller of French skincare brand Novexpert from Paris, the Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid is your skin’s best friend. Lack of water intake when fasting can cause the skin on your face, lips and neck to dehydrate, which can lead to other skin conditions such as sagging skin and chapped lips. Try this Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid to help supplement your skin with what it’s missing from your daily diet. This product works on any skin type whether man or woman with dehydrated, sensitive, oily or tired skin and leaves your skin repulped, plumper and more moisturized.

Avoid Airplane Dehydration !

Airplane cabins are infamous for having particularly dry air. On all modern aircrafts, passengers and crew breathe a mixture of fresh and recirculated air. Add on the fact that many people drink sugary beverages such as soda, juice and wine on airplanes, you’re on a one-way flight to dehydration. Dehydration can take effect in various forms from muscle cramps, respiratory conditions and of course, dry skin, eyes and nostrils. So the next time you’re on a mid- to long-haul flight, follow these steps for better hydration:

# 1 - Pack a travel-sized moisturizer in your carry-on, and apply to your face while you take your in-flight nap.

Looking for a quick fix? Why not try the Novexpert Repulp Mask that re-plumps, rehydrates and regenerates deeply to soothe, restore, repair and repulp your skin. Simply leave this hypoallergenic mask on your clean face for 10-15 minutes and and wipe off with a wet wipe, dampened tissue or cotton pad — instant rehydrated skin! Best of all, this mask comes in a 50ml tube, so you won’t be busting the airlines’ liquid carry-on requirements.

# 2 - Hydrate from within before and during the flight

It may be tempting to drink up the free wine and sodas on the flight, but as much as possible, avoid sugary, caffeinated and alcoholic drinks when flying to prevent dehydration. If you are someone who gets dehydrated easily, remember that hydrating yourself starts before you even check-in at the airport. Drink lots of water in the days leading up to your flight, which include nutrient-packed fruit and vegetable juices. Some examples of hydrating drinks include cucumber and coconut water, and while in the cabin, stick to just plain aqua.

# 3 - Apply lotion to your hands and body.

Washing and wiping your hands can cause dry palms and parched cuticles. Hypoallergenic Marine Elements Body Lotion will help soften the skin’s surface, allowing moisture and nutrients to penetrate deep down. With the patented Zonase X™ active ingredient which contains natural proteins and enzymes, your skin’s moisture will be replenished, reducing any negative effects such as inflammation or itchiness. Marine Elements is great for anyone with eczema and dry skin. If the 200ml bottle is too large for you to pack onto carry on, consider filling travel-sized cosmetic bottles (available at any pharmacy) so you can bring your lotion onboard. Final stocks for Marine Elements available for purchase now, while stocks last.

# 4 - See no dryness, smell no dryness.

Besides moisturising your skin, other parts of your face such as eyes and nostrils may feel dry and chapped. For this, bring along some eye drops and a nasal spray and apply when you feel necessary.

# 5 - Refresh your breath before you land!

Dry mouth is a common cause of bad breath, and perhaps you don’t want to meet your family picking you up at the airport with dry, stale overnight breath! Why not get yourself a travel toothbrush so you can have a quick freshen up before you land? Don’t worry, the water in the airplane lavatory is safe to rinse your mouth with, or perhaps you could use a sink at an airport restroom while waiting for your luggage. Why not invest in a Swissdent Emergency Kit (in Red for Extreme Whitening, and Blue or Silver for those with more Sensitive teeth)? Includes a patented award-winning toothbrush and toothpaste with fruit enzymes in a handy travel pack. Your loved ones will be able to spot your pearly-white smile from across the room as you walk into the arrival hall! And if brushing your teeth sounds like too much work, just a few spritz of the mouth spray and you’re good to go!

Novexpert Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid

What's all the buzz about Hyaluronic Acid? What is that?

Because it's seriously, truly good for your skin. Okay, let us explain. Hyaluronic Acid (H.A) is a natural substance (polysaccharides) found in all mammals. It is a gel-like water binding molecule that fills and cushions the spaces between our skin to plump and keep our skin hydrated. HA is found in every part of our bodies and its highest concentration is found around our eyes and joints. The production of HA in our bodies explains why our eyes take shape and our joints are flexible.

Many studies have supported that HA has multiple functions to improve skin such as increase skin hydration, skin elasticity and firmness, simulates production of collagen and works as an antioxidant that results in smoother (anti-wrinkle) and softer skin. HA explains why babies' skin are always smooth, soft and plump-y naturally.

The Bad News Is...
As we age, this protective agent (HA) in the body degenerates, the production of HA is degraded and synthesized daily - now you know why skin sag, get thinner and folds start to appear on the surface of our skin overtime.

What Causes Wrinkles?

The Wrinkly Bad News
Wrinkles are developed as part of aging and as we already know, aging is a natural process we cannot avoid. As we age, our skin becomes thinner, drier and its elasticity becomes lesser, folds, creases or ridges starts appearing on the surface on our skin.

 

Why Is This Happening?
A part from it being a natural aging process, our genetic distribution (skin structure & texture) and our lifestyles can quicken or delay the development of wrinkles. The most prominent cause of wrinkles is frequent sun exposure. Constant exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays can damage the skin's support structure *beach bums alert* Additionally, if you constantly smile, frown, squint, and wink a lot, wrinkles around the eye area such as crow's feet and frown lines will occur over a period of time. So, are your wrinkles a result of happy memories or sad ones?

 

Avoid smoking at all cause because smoking accelerates aging and wrinkles appear deeper in smokers. Evidently, smokers do look older beyond what they actually are.

 

The Wrinkly Good News
Preventing wrinkles are now made accessible with the advances anti-aging technologies and prevention methods like consuming at least 5 to 7 servings of fruits and vegetables can help to slow down aging process. Vitamins and nutricosmetic supplements like Mireica can improve and protect your skin stem cells.

To Mask or Not To Mask?

Which Are You?

Facial mask? What is that for? Is that really necessary?

Oh, I know what facial masks are for but I don't see the point of using it

Yes, I visit the spa every once in a while for treatment.

Yes, I fix up my own mask at home and use it some times.

If you're - Facial mask? What is that for? Is that really necessary?
The main purpose of a facial mask is to provide nourishment for your skin. When facial mask is applied onto your face, it allows the essential nutrients to be absorbed into the skin. Apart from providing nutrients, it cleanses, moistures and soothes your skin as it contains vitamins and minerals.

It is indeed a necessary process! Your skin is the largest organ in the body and it obviously needs the essential nutrients, especially the skin on our faces! As we age, our skin would eventually get thinner due to a loss of collagen and elasticity. Thus, facial mask are developed in mind to help reverse the order of aging and to give your skin the boost it needs. 

If you're - Oh, I know what facial masks are for but I don't see the point of using it.
Take our advice, use them. Your regular cleansing routine will help you wash the dirt and grime away but only on the surface. Facial masks are made to penetrate deeply, as deep as your hypodermis to draw out its impurities. Additionally, it helps to unclog pores so your products work more effectively. Some facial mask helps to stimulate blood circulation and will make your skin looks smoother and brighter. 

If you're - Yes, I visit the spa every once in a while for treatment.
Though visiting the spa may seem like a good idea to pamper you (and your skin), we would like to advice you to be (very) careful with the products your beautician use on your skin. Some products, though seem effective) may give you more harm than good, especially products loaded with chemicals and preservatives. According to research, chemicals are absorbed into your skin, into the blood and urine, which can cause damage to your health. Apart from the chemicals, some products can cause harsh reactions (ie: rash, redden effect, heated up).

Hence, be alert and get your beautician to explain to you the ingredients of the product rather than sell the product based on the outcome. Some beauticians are taught to sell rather than care. Most importantly, know your skin type and get familiar with your allergies so that you can identify what works and what will never work for your skin. (See Perfect Remedy Below)

If you're - Yes, I fix up my own mask at home and use it some times (when I find the time).
We applaud you for opting for natural remedies. Yogurt, honey, lemon, oatmeal, sugar, coffee, pumpkin, avocado, aloe vera, berries or bananas are really good for skin. As much as we would agree that DIY mask are filled with skin food nutrients, these DIY ingredients can be expensive and too yummy to be thrown away after applying on your face, and not to mention, time consuming.

We suggest that you eat them instead for overall skin health and because we have a perfect remedy for you.

New Generation of 100% Natural Anti-Aging Skincare

NOVEXPERT
French for new expert, has hit the shores of Malaysia, Formulated to target the visible signs of aging skin, the Novexpert "Doctor Line" helps to retain and refresh your youthful veneer.

The Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Novexpert, Cyrille Telinge was in Malaysia recently to explain the philosophy and to present this new generation of anti-aging skincare that is targeted at the modern techno-parano consumer who is afraid of chemicals yet wants medical quality and effective products that are also safe, natural and affordable to use over the long term.

The 100% natural, green chemistry brand was developed by Laboratoires Novexpert, founded in 1988 and was a culmination of two entrepreneurial families who had experience in the beauty and retail industry - the Sirop family (owner of the well-known Thalgo group) and the Telinge family (previously of fashion house, Cyrillus). Prior to launching its own brand, Laboratoires Novexpert formulates and manufactures for large cosmetic and pharmaceutical groups, and luxury and organic brands across the globe.

Already a winner of 11 awards since its launch in 2008, Novexpert launched a new, more advance and more effective "doctor-line" skincare in 2012. The team behind this line comprises of French doctors who are former scientific directors from different pharmaceutical and cosmetic groups, and experts in dermatology, biology and herbal medicine. Given complete control, their brief was to develop, based only on scientific research without marketing or financial constraints, the most effective anti-aging formulations that will also be suitable for sensitive skin as well as safe for long term use.

The result is 100% cosmeceutical formulations that deliver 100% cosmeceutical effects - an instantaneous healthy glow within 5 seconds, an immediate lifting effect within 5 minutes and a durable anti-wrinkle effect lasting 5 weeks. The formulations also set a new standard by being uniquely 0% chemical - 0% preservatives, 0% essential oils, 0% propylene glycol etc and being 100% natural, 100% biodegradable and 100% hypoallergenic.

100% Natural
All formulations from the Novexpert Doctor line are 100% Natural origin (such as plant extracts) and made from enzymes by biotechnology processes, which are edible and biodegradable. No chemical preservatives are used in Novexpert, making the brand so unique, non-toxic, 100% biodegradable and certified 100% hypoallergenic. This innovative brand which combines ultra effectiveness and high tolerance with safety, is compatible for all types of skin, including the most sensitive ones, and can be used by both men and women.

Discovery of Novaxyline
One of the key ingredients used in every Novexpert's product is its patented anti-aging ingredient Novaxyline. This is 100% natural consists of an algae extract that is combined with a sugar created by the process of bio-fermentation. Found in the offshore of Brittany, the algae is regularly left exposed during low tide and has therefore developed a protective system to fight against a variety of stress factors including salt, heat, UV light and dehydration. This "protection mechanism" proves to be an exceptional "cellular guardian" for the skin.
