When you are aging like I am, you will find everything you can find to delay all signs of aging. We have all heard about collagen and how important it is to our body and skin. Collagen can be found in the skin, bones and all connective tissues. Needless to say, it is the most common protein in the human body. Without collagen, fine lines and wrinkles will deepen and emerged to the surface of the skin. Just like Hyaluronic Acid, our body produces collagen in a small quantity and it will depletes over time. If you are living a poor lifestyle, this will accelerate the depletion and slow down the reproduction process. As a result, you will get signs of aging appears, saggy skin and age spots.
Recently more and more brands came out with facial boosting essence or better known as pre-serum. And all launched at the same time! One of the brand who recently launched a pre-essence and that is Swiss Line Cell Shock Facial Boosting Essence and Cell Shock White Facial Brightening Essence. According to Swiss Line research, they have found a clinically proven modern formula to tackle “urban stress” on our skin. This formula found in the new Cell Shock Facial Boosting Essence and Cell Shock White Facial Brightening Essence is Urban-Detox Complex and it will be added into more subsequent Swiss Line products in the future.
I know what you’re thinking. Isn’t Batiste Dry Shampoo already available in Malaysia? Yes. It is already in the Malaysia market since two years ago I believe but there was no launch done and no marketing done. Zero product exposure except for a few of us who has been using Batiste and been talking about it on the blog and even on social media channels. Even the stocks are insufficient and I find myself constantly hunting for it. It is getting so tiring trying to find Batiste and I am SO GLAD that a huge company such as DKSH took over Malaysia distributorship. That means consumers will not need to run around the town, supermarket to supermarket like a headless chicken hunting for it.
Before this we have no idea what is lip oil. The name itself gave a lot away however many wonder what it does and why do we need to apply oil on our lips. But when Lancôme came out with the first lip oil – the Juicy Shaker, the rest follows and we now know what lip oil are. The choices we have here in Malaysia are very very limited, unlike those residing in the United States.
Multi-brand beauty boutique, KENS Apothecary opened its third store in One Utama Shopping Centre just last week. The store is strategically located right next to Sephora at Ground Floor Old Wing. Occupying almost 500sq feet, the store offer brands such as Diptique, Caudalie, Dr Brandt, Annick Goutal, Talika, Dr Sebagh, Jack Black, REN, Atelier Cologne, By Terry, Sachajuan and the latest is Marvis, fancy-flavoured toothpaste from Italy.
According to Ken Lim, the Founder of KENS Apothecary, he said that KENS has been in One Utama New Wing for the past five years and this year, they have decided to move from a counter to a shop when One Utama converted the said area to a beauty precinct.
This brightly-lid, modern style new store with copper gold facade is designed by a Taiwanese interior designer who specialized in beauty retail. Even the floor tiles are Italian imported to add the hint of luxury into the whole look and feel of it. This is how a beauty retail space should be – clean, white, bright, neat and organized. I could not stress this more!
Beauty enthusiasts would be expecting to see two more KENS Apothecary stores to be open by year end. One being in Suria KLCC and another one will be in The Gardens, Mid Valley.
