Indulge in an Exclusive VIP Traditional Thai Massage Experience at HealthLand Family Wellness Center

Looking for a special treat to rejuvenate your body and mind or maybe you want to treat your loved one? Look no further than HealthLand Family Wellness Center. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit this renowned wellness center, HealthLand, and experience their VIP Thai massage services, and let me tell you, it was truly a treat for both my husband and myself.

When I received an open invitation to try and review any of their treatments, I couldn’t resist. Plus I was really excited to treat my husband with a couple Thia massage sessions. After all, it’s not every day you get the chance to enjoy a VIP treatment. So, I quickly visited the HealthLand website to find a location near me and book our appointment. They’ve many centers located in and around KL, Melaka and Penang and I also found one here in my locality, Subang Jaya.

To be honest, I didn’t expect much from the outside look of HealthLand Family Wellness Center. It’s not as shiny and inviting from the outside. However, as soon as we stepped into the HealthLand Subang Jaya premises I was sorta surprised. Its very spacious, and nice and completely opposite from the outside look of it. One thing I must mention from the lift to the whole place was this scent of lemongass … ah! Loved that scent so much!


Our session was in the morning. Seemed the center was quite packed even in the first hour.

In the treatment menu,

  • Thainess Oil Treatment – a comprehensive therapy that gently massages your body and mind using soothing essential organic oils.
  • Thai Traditional Treatment – This is the most popular Traditional Thai Massage where skilled therapists apply precise pressure to pressure points and massage lines using their thumbs, palms, elbows, knees, or feet. By opening up energy channels, this therapy enables vital energy to flow freely, restoring balance and vitality to your body and mind.
  • Foot Treatment – Through targeted pressure applied to the pressure points on your foot soles, tension dissipates, and relaxation permeates throughout your entire body.

We choose to go very traditional with our VIP HealthLand experience, and went with Traditional Thai Massage.

Our pampering journey began with a foot wash. From there, we were guided to the Traditional Thai massage room. The comfortable, warm, and dimmed environment instantly put us at ease. There were separate dresses for male and female to wear during the massage service so that we could be relaxed to from our soul!

The massage bed, linen, and clothes were neatly prepared, ensuring our comfort throughout the session. It was finally time to let go of all the stress and let our bodies rejuvenate.

I set my mind on a softer strength of massage myself that I talked through with the therapist. Cause I know my body, it’s a comfort lover. Husby didnt have any preferances.

The masseuses at HealthLand were incredibly skilled and attentive to our individual preferences. They applied the perfect amount of pressure (and I did say a few times please a tad more soft.. hehe) targeting the areas that needed the most attention. With each stroke, I could feel the tension melting away, leaving me in a state of pure bliss.

I took my last Thai Massage a long time back and that time the massage was with oil. I wasn’t familiar with Traditional Thai Massage and so I figured this time Traditional Thai Massage uses Balm instead of oil.

AH!

The tiger balm (as the therapist told me) feels this good I had no idea before. It’s so cooling and amazingly comforting.

The technique employed by the masseuses goes beyond just their hands; they skillfully utilize their elbows, legs, and feet to contort, twist, and stretch every part of the body. It was truly remarkable to experience their expertise as they worked their magic on our tired muscles, providing immense relief.

The whole 2 hour went by 10 minutes. I enjoyed the stretching and head-massage part the most!

As our treatment came to an end, we were served a refreshing ginger drink to help us unwind. Personally, I fell in love with the ginger drink. It was a strong ginger with (possibly honey) a punch of sweetness in it. It was recharging!

Our experience at HealthLand was simply pleasant.

I definitely enjoyed the part that my dear husband took the time off to spend time together middle of the week. We were having our little chit-chat while also we enjoyed the ultimate relaxation for our bodies!

Kinda been thanking myself that I thought to go together for the Thai Massage. If you decide on a Thai Massage then you should take your spouse with you as well.

Thainess with Oil Treatment rooms and foot treatment room, couldnt resist taking a peak inside.

The picture below is Thainess with the Oil Treatment room. Skipped taking a snap of the foot treatment room cause there were a lot of people and I didn’t want to disturb them by any means. Nonetheless seeing them taking the foot massage I’m actually set my mind to experience that foot massage service soon.

If you’re searching for high-quality treatments delivered by skilled masseuses at an affordable price, look no further than HealthLand Family Wellness Center. Whether you want to pamper yourself or surprise a loved one with a special treat, HealthLand guarantees an indulgent experience that will leave you feeling revitalized and rejuvenated.

FOREO UFO, Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask Treatment

Innovative beauty gadgets always attract me. Recently I’ve been trying out the FOREO UFO. It’s an LED Thermo-activated Smart Mask that looks super futuristic plus works to rescue skin problem 101. Moreover, FOREO UFO cares for time. A targeted and mess-free sheet mask treatment session you can have within just 90 seconds.

If you’re thinking only sheet masks then you’re too wrong! This is something beyond any regular sheet mask. UFO Smart Mask is packed with the latest skincare technology to give advanced clinical spa treatment at home where the small piece of sheet is just a medium. Then again, UFO activated sheet masks are also powered with Korean skincare formula, premium ingredients, and made of ultrafine microfiber to assure the ultimate result.

Have you ever thought of getting a Photofacial done?

The process of a clinical Photofacial and its cost will give you an instant heartache! Don’t worry, even I don’t want to talk that far because I already have a better solution here with me, FOREO UFO. This UFO Smart Mask by FOREO gives 3 targeted Photofacial that you can do by yourself at home.

Sounds interesting enough?

Thus, this article is about giving you an insight into my experience with FOREO UFO – LED THERMO Activated Smart Mask.

How to use FOREO UFO LED Thermo Activated Smart Mask Treatment?

It’s not anything hard but very easy to use a UFO Smart Mask. First, remove the attachment ring from UFO. Take UFO Activated Mask, that you want to use. Place the mask on the device. Place back the attachment ring by clipping it inside with the sheet mask. The attachment ring keeps the sheet mask secure with the UFO device.

How To Use Foreo UFO Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask TreatmentForeo UFO Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask Treatment Review

I found that there is always some extra essence remains on the sheet mask packet. I take out the remaining essence on the sheet after locking it on UFO.

Rest is simple, turn your UFO and the FOREO app (if you’re using that) on. Then gently glide UFO across your clean face. Massage the formula in circular motions until the device turns off. If one treatment session (90 seconds) doesn’t feel enough you can restart the same treatment by pressing the button once within 30-second after the end.

After finishing the LED Thermal activated treatment, gently pat the remaining essence into the skin. Follow with a moisturizer if needed.

Foreo UFO Iphone App

Are you wondering if you must use the FOREO app to use UFO?

FOREO has a dedicated phone app for its beauty gadgets. Once downloaded the app will guide you to pair your UFO device with the app. When you scan the mask barcode the app reads it and sync the UFO automatically for the treatment. There are a few customizing options as well within the app to set thermal, light, or pulse function according to personal preference. With the FOREO app, you can set and use UFO just the way you want, which you can not do without the FOREO app.

However, UFO is usable without the app as well. The universal button does everything and it is pre-programmed for ‘Make It A Day’ and ‘Call It A Night’ Mask. If you press the button once, it will turn the UFO on. Press again for the ‘Make It A Day’ mask treatment. Press twice for the ‘Call It A Night’ mask treatment.

Initially, FOREO offered only these two masks to use with UFO Smart Mask. Just recently FOREO launched a few more varieties of mask treatment. To activate those new masks you must use the app. Once activated then you can use the universal button accordingly.

How FOREO UFO Smart Mask works?

Foreo UFO Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask Treatment

FOREO UFO features Hyper Infusion Technology which uses our skin’s natural reactions to heat and cold. UFO gradually warms in Thermo-Therapy mode. The gentle heat helps to infuse active mask ingredients into the skin, making them more effective in less time. The warmth also helps to relax and revitalize the skin as well as the mind. The cooling mode of UFO, Cryo-Therapy, is an effortless way to calm the skin down. It helps to reduce the appearance of pores and puffiness.

Along with those, FOREO’s signature, T-Sonic Pulsation Technology ensures that the skin gets the most out of every mask treatment.

Foreo UFO Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask Treatment

For that advanced level of face masking experience, FOREO UFO gives us the power of UV-free RGB phototherapy treatment at home. UFO’s red, green, and blue LED light wavelengths effortlessly rejuvenate the skin, and each wavelength rescues you from specific aspects of skin problems.

The Red LED works from an anti-aging perspective. It stimulates blood circulation and collagen production. Green LED helps to brighten a dull complexion and even out the skin tone. Blue LED kills bacteria and works to heal acne-prone skin. Literally one UFO session gives 3 targeted photo facials at once.

My experience with FOREO UFO 90-second Smart Mask:

Foreo UFO Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask Treatment

I was skeptical at the beginning and now I’m addicted to FOREO UFO.

Aesthetically this beauty device is quite pleasing, something you would want to show off! It is made of ultra-hygienic silicone and it’s soft and very smooth to touch. Among 3 colors I choose the mint UFO to match and fulfill the FOREO beauty gadget army (it’s a beauty addict’s thing, wink) of mine.

I’ve been using the basic ‘Make It A Day’ and ‘Call It A Night’ Foreo Mask Treatment with my UFO. Each type of mask UFO has a different pulse, heat, and light setting pre-programmed. I’m obsessed with UFO’s thermal technology. I did experience this before in a clinical skin treatment session but trust me it feels way better with the comfort of home.

Just before bed, I’ve been using the UFO ‘Call It A Night’ treatment and it feels I can sleep better after the treatment. UFO ‘Make It A Day’ treatment mask almost instantly revives skin health and makes me glow. Honestly, before FOREO UFO I and my skin never felt such relaxed and refreshed by any at-home mask. Plus, UFO only takes 90 seconds for that.

However, I’m never done with just 90 seconds of treatment of UFO Smart Mask. I end up longing for the thermal sensation more in my face. Besides, the amount of essence one mask sachet has is way too much for my face and neck. I go for a minimum of 2 treatment sessions (90×2) at once.

With FOREO UFO smart mask my sheet masking routine reached a whole new level. Ever since I got this beauty gadget I look for the chance to use it. Literally using it every day and I have to say it again – I’m addicted to FOREO UFO.

Cleaning, recharging and after use care for FOREO UFO Smart Mask:

Foreo UFO Smart Mask - Hpw It Works

To cleaning FOREO UFO after use, simply remove the attachment ring and trash the used mask. Rinse the UFO device and the attachment ring. You can use warm water if you prefer, I think normal water is fine as well. FOREO UFO device is 100% waterproof so don’t worry about the water getting into the device. But do not rinse it leaving the power on. After rinsing pat dry with a clean towel and place back the attachment ring. Store it in a suitable place. I put it on the stand placing the charging whole downside so the remaining water inside comes out and it dries faster.

FOREO UFO is rechargeable and you can charge it anywhere as you prefer using the provided USB cable. One fully charged (2.5-hour charge) UFO device gives around 40 use (90-second smart mask treatment time).

This smart mask device, FOREO UFO, comes with 2-Year Limited Warranty and a 10-Year Quality Guarantee. Which marks the device as an investment for better skin.

Foreo UFO Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask Treatment

Do you really need FOREO UFO for better skin?

I won’t tell you much. But, hell0… YES!

FOREO UFO is an expensive beauty gadget. Still, this hi-tech sheet mask thingy, a meld of Swedish technology and Korean beauty formula, completely worth it! Getting a UFO smart mask will be an investment in your skin. The comfort and outcome of FOREO UFO Smart Mask Treatments are simply mind-blowing. Moreover, with the regular use of UFO technology, especially LED light therapy we can surely control possible skin problems 101.

What you say?

I wouldn’t deny that we do need those full-time relaxing spa sessions at home or clinically as well in our life. Despite that, can you really deny to a 90-second power-packed skincare indulgent which is available any time within the comfort of your home?

Even if you’re not a face mask lover, you’ll love the experience of FOREO UFO Smart Mask. You will love how the skin looks after each FOREO UFO treatment session. Furthermore, the effect of these treatments isn’t anything temporary but it gives a visible improvement.

Fenty Beauty Lipstick | Mattemoiselle Plush Matte – Are they worth a try?

0

Hie there? I hope your new year is off to a great start! I’m here literally for the first post of the year and it’s about Fenty Beauty Lipstick. Since Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Launched in the market it was always the hype. Although they deserve that especially for their face products (read my previous article here). Just at the end of 2017, Fenty Beauty launched their Mattemoiselle Plush Matte lipsticks. This was, in fact, my last makeup purchase of 2017.

Initially, I was eyeing on Freckle Fiesta. I went to Sephora just on the released date but evening and found out Freckle Fiesta is already out of stock. The sales assistant said it was the bestseller of the day. It has to be, that brow is gorgeous with a perfect warm undertone. However, I wanted Saw-C as well. Because it’s a perfect matte orange shade.

Fenty Beauty Lipstick | Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Shawty

I ended up buying Fenty Mattemoiselle Plush Matte lipsticks Saw-C and Shawty. Shawty is a brown as well but in a dark deep manner. I found out when I mix Saw-C and Shawty it turns out just the Freckle Fiesta shade. Jackpot! Thus I had to get those two shade.

Above in the first picture of this article I mixed two shade, Saw-C and Shawty to get the color Freckle Fiesta. It turns out pretty well. In fact, it looks just the same as Freckle Fiesta. What you think?

Fenty Beauty Lipstick | Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Saw C

These matte Fenty Lipsticks are nicely creamy in texture. Actually most of them. A few of them vary at consistency. Like Saw-C and Up 2 No Good doesn’t glide as creamy and smooth as the Freckle Fiesta and Shawty does. But they are not as bad as you can’t wear, they’re good. These lipsticks have no smell and last on the lips pleasantly long time.

Fenty Mattemoiselle Plush Matte lipstick packaging looks sleek from far but I’m totally not a fan. Up close, the packaging gives me a cheap feeling, specifically the inner tube. Fenty could’ve done it better for sure. Looking at the price, packaging and lipstick quality I would, apparently, choose MAC lipsticks over Fenty Mattemoiselle Plush Matte.

5 things to know before opting for a GREEN hair | Hair Color Idea

5 things to know before opting for a GREEN hair

Hair coloring has been an addiction to me ever since. I get bored too quickly of my dark brown hair and even when I feel a bit low first thing that comes to my mind is ‘let’s change the hair’. Not good at all for hair but we have only one life right? Moreover, the hair will grow new with time so hair color is a ‘Yass’ always. Nowadays I’m totally into green hair, ombre to be more specific. I find green really goes with my skin tone but it’s not really easy to maintain like other usual colors. However, it took me a bit of trial and fail to reach the perfect ‘green hair’ point and maintaining it. So today’s article is about ‘5 must-know facts’ from my experience that you should know if you’re thinking to go green with hair.

 

1. Pre-lightening process:

Hair Pre-Lightening process

Unless you have a natural light/blonde hair you’ll have to go through the pre-lightening/bleaching process. It will depend on your hair health, how damaged are they or if they’re in the condition to take the bleach. Do expect damaged hair after the bleaching process. Especially, if you have dark hair like me then the hair takes a lot of time (which means more bleach and damage) to lose color. No matter how expert the hand is who’s dealing with your hair you’ll get the damage. So be prepared for that.

 

2. Know your hair type:

Gray Black Ombre Hair

It is very important to know what is your hair type and what type of color can suit you. My hair type is extra fine hair, quite unusually thin. Like, my 20 hair strand is similar to one normal hair strand. It’s not that I’ve very thin hair but I simply born with such fancy hair. Thus, my hair is very stubborn when it comes to color. No matter how much you feed them they won’t be fulfilled with the desired opacity. And sometimes they might go in a totally different direction.

In the picture above you seeing I’ve done black and gray ombre hair, but I didn’t. This was my first attempt at green hair. After pre-lightening my hair specialist applied green hair dye (was a softer tone of green, Shiseido Aqua Matte – 11 to be more precise) but my hair declined that badly and I ended up getting a black-gray ombre hair for that day. This wasn’t bad, I got to rock such dope hair color (quite trendy now in Asia) for a week :p
So, do expect such experience as well. I did go to the salon to get my green hair after 8/9 days as I was told.

 

3. Choosing the right professional for a perfect ‘Green Hair’ outcome:

Green-Hair-Color-4

The first time I did my green hair was this (the picture above), A cool toned deep sea green and quite popping. I did like the color at the end however, this is not what I expected. The pictures I collected and showed to my stylist as a suggestion was totally different (just like the pictures below, my next green hair) compared to the outcome. I’m not sure if it was my failure to make him understand my desire. Additionally, it did bother me big time when the color came out wrong (black gray ombre) in the first place. After all, the hair colorist should’ve known the color fact.

Needless to mention, for the current green hair I switched my previous stylist (yes, had to pay a bit more as well) and got just the perfect blend (last picture) of green ombre hair.

 

4. Limit of hair wash:

Green Ombre Hair

Within my experience, I can say regardless of everything the color green last way to less than other colors. To mention red-based color last for a surprisingly long period of time. Last year when I did pink hair color and purple, later on, both of the colors lasted me more than 4 months. The green tends to last only two weeks. First time I didn’t care about my hair washing limit, washed my hair almost every day and so within two weeks it was all gone.
Recently (the picture below) I’m limiting my hair wash to 3/4 times a week (using products for color treated hair) and the color seems to hold up well. However, I don’t think my recent color will last more than 3 weeks.

Green Ombre HairGreen Ombre Hair

 

5. Damage Control:

Green Ombre Hair

I did my first green hair 5 months back. When the color was gone I changed my hair (couldn’t take the coppery tone hair for long) back to dark brown. But my lust for that perfect muted green kept bugging me. Before deciding to opt again for the green I knew I’ll have to go through the pre-lightening process again so I started taking care of my damaged hair. We usually take care of our hair after the damage but if we take the precaution then it is possible to prevent damage to some extent.

Two weeks I spent recovering the health of my hair as much as possible then went to the salon for a new color. Loved my recent green hair and obviously, my hair is pretty spoiled again but who cares as long as I can revive it (wink wink) with a bit of care.

What do you think? Isn’t my green hair looks gorgeous? I didn’t notice before taking the picture that my hair has grown quite long as well 🙂

 

Just now came up one thing in my mind! Don’t we see a lot of people with virgin hair (hair that never been F***ed up with dye or bleach) giving advice on how to prevent damage? At this point, I’m finding it hilarious, words flowing into my head, “do you even know what damage is?’ ..haha never mind! just a random thought.
Anyways, let me know if you’re interested to know how I’m taking care of my F***ed up hair and keeping it alive 🙂 I would love to share my hair care routine with you.

LUMOS Tablet Review | A Smart, Affordable Tablet That Packs a Punch at Only RM499

0

When it comes to gadgets, I always believe you don’t have to break the bank to get something truly good. But let’s be real—affordable often comes with compromises. Sometimes it’s the clunky design, sometimes a laggy interface, or sometimes the “bare minimum” experience that leaves you wishing you had saved up for something pricier.

So when I got to try the LUMOS Tablet, priced at just RM499, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Could it really deliver on quality without the heavy price tag? Spoiler: it not only surprised me but also made me rethink what an “entry-level tablet” can be.

Plus, the bundle offer is something I couldn’t pass up – It makes it a complete mini portable laptop. YASS – I got myself the bundle offer!

LUMOS Tablet Review: Best Budget Tablet in Malaysia (RM499)

If you’ve been searching for a reliable tablet for entertainment, work, or even for your kids, keep reading because this one deserves your attention. Let me walk you through my experience with the LUMOS Tablet and its five standout features.

1. Affordable Yet Top-Notch Quality

First impressions matter, and the LUMOS Tablet doesn’t disappoint. At only RM499, this tablet already sets itself apart because similar specs usually cost at least double. It comes with:

  • 10.1-inch IPS display – large enough for comfortable binge-watching or reading.
  • 4K supported resolution – colors look sharp, vivid, and surprisingly workable for this price point.
  • 8GB RAM – this is where I really raised my eyebrows. Tablets in this category usually offer just 3–4GB of RAM, so having 8GB makes it run smoothly without any lag.
  • 6000 mAh battery – I clocked in about 5–6 hours of continuous use, which is great for a full workday or travel entertainment.
LUMOS Tablet Review: Affordable Tablet with Mini Laptop Bundle

I tested it by streaming videos and scrolling endlessly on social media, and the screen clarity was impressive. Even high-resolution videos looked crisp, and scrolling through apps was buttery smooth without the frustrating lag you sometimes get with budget devices.

Honestly, it already feels like you’re getting more than what you’re gonna pay for.

2. All the Apps You’ll Ever Need

Let’s face it—apps are what make or break a tablet. Whether you’re watching your favorite series on Netflix or YouTube, blasting music on Spotify, or scrolling endlessly on Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook, this tablet supports them all.

What’s more, I found it particularly handy for productivity. It comes with Office apps, meaning you can open and work on Word docs, Excel sheets, or even prep your presentations on the go. As someone who’s often juggling between work emails, quick edits, and the occasional online workshop, this was a lifesaver.

Parents will love this too—there are plenty of educational and learning apps for kids. I tested some interactive learning apps for my little one, and they ran smoothly without lagging, plus the large display made it easier for tiny hands to engage. He loved playing his games on it and was already in a target to make the tablet his own possession.

I like that it doesn’t limit itself to just being an “entertainment device.” Instead, it’s versatile enough to be useful for adults, students, and even kids.

3. Convert LUMOS Tablet Into a Mini Laptop

Here’s where the LUMOS Tablet really levels up: for just an additional RM99, you can bundle it with a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, stylus pen, and case cover. Suddenly, your tablet transforms into a mini laptop.

The keyboard is a high-quality one to my surprise. I tried typing a full draft on the keyboard, and while it’s compact, it’s surprisingly comfortable. Pair that with the stylus pen, and you can sketch, doodle, or take handwritten notes directly on the screen—perfect for students or anyone in creative fields.

This feature instantly makes it more than “just another tablet.” It’s practical for work-from-home setups, virtual learning, or even lightweight travel where carrying a full laptop feels unnecessary.

To top it off, the LUMOS Tablet has a built-in screen casting function. I tested this with my Smart TV, and within seconds, I was watching Netflix on a bigger screen without any complicated cables. That’s the kind of seamless experience you want at the end of a long day. I’m really excited that now I can watch some of my listed TV websites which don’t have a proper app for TV.

4. Trusted by Thousands (and Counting)

It’s one thing to claim affordability and quality, but another to be trusted by actual users. What sets LUMOS apart is that it already has thousands of 5-star reviews. In fact, it’s a brand that has gained popularity among not just everyday users but also influencers and even celebrities.

Personally, I value brands that offer not only good products but also excellent service, and LUMOS doesn’t fall short in this regard. They also offer fast and reliable after-sales service, which is reassuring, especially when it comes to tech purchases. We’ve all had that nightmare of trying to reach customer service for days—thankfully, that’s not the case here.

LUMOS Tablet , budget tablet under 500 rm

5. Under RM500 Tablet for Everyone

What makes the LUMOS Tablet such a standout, in my opinion, is how versatile it is. It’s:

  • Budget-friendly for students who need a reliable device for online classes and assignments.
  • Perfect for parents looking for an affordable gadget to keep kids entertained and educated.
  • A great option for working professionals who need a secondary device for presentations, light work, or travel.
  • An entertainment powerhouse for those who simply want to stream, scroll, or game without fuss.

At RM499 (or RM598 with the bundle), it genuinely feels like a device designed to fit into everyone’s lifestyle without burning a hole in your pocket.

Final Thoughts

In today’s world, it’s easy to get swept up in the idea that more expensive automatically means better. But the LUMOS Tablet is proof that you can get excellent quality at an affordable price.

With its large, vivid display, strong performance powered by 8GB RAM, long battery life, and versatility to double as a mini laptop, it ticks all the right boxes. Add to that the ability to run all your favorite apps and cast directly to your TV, and you’ve got yourself a well-rounded device.

If you’re on the lookout for a tablet that’s functional, stylish, and affordable, the LUMOS Tablet is definitely worth considering. For me, it’s more than just a gadget—it’s a practical everyday companion.

Celebrating Skin Science with Cetaphil Malaysia: A Mother-Son Day Out at SkinLABS

As a beauty enthusiast and a mum, my skincare journey has always been about finding products that work gently yet effectively — not only for me but also for my kids’ delicate skin. And when it comes to gentle care, Cetaphil skincare has been a name I’ve trusted since my youngest was born. His very first bottle of Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion has been a major part of our bedtime routine, and a constant in our home.

So, when I heard about the Cetaphil SkinLABS launch event happening in Kuala Lumpur this August 2025, I knew it was the perfect opportunity for us to step into the world behind the products we love. And yes — I brought the teen-son along for the experience! (Photo above: My son and I at the Cetaphil SkinLABS event — matching smiles, surrounded by bottles of the gentle formulas Cetaphil offers for both adults and kids!)

A Fresh Chapter for Cetaphil Malaysia

Cetaphil is doubling down on education and expert-led skincare advice with SkinLABS

The event wasn’t just another product launch; it marked a transformative rebrand for Cetaphil, unveiling their bold new advocacy-first strategy. In simple terms, this means Cetaphil is doubling down on education and expert-led skincare advice — making sure we, as consumers, get the facts straight from dermatologists and trusted sources rather than relying on random skincare tips floating around social media.

With this move, they’re collaborating more closely with dermatologists, pharmacists, and influencers to spread the message of science-backed gentle care. For me, as a mum who’s always navigating product choices for both adult and baby skin, this was truly exciting to hear.

The Event: An Immersive Skincare Playground

Walking into the event space was like stepping into a bright, soothing world of skin science. The setup was modern yet welcoming, filled with interactive zones designed to help guests experience Cetaphil skincare in action.

We explored zones dedicated to Hydration, Exfoliation, Radiance, and Gentle Care, each demonstrating how Cetaphil products cater to every stage of life — from newborns to adults with acne-prone skin. My son, of course, was more fascinated by the huge life-sized product displays and the activities we did together, from skin analysis to playing mini pickleball games.

Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Skincare Range

Throughout the event, there were dermatologist-led talks that broke down sensitive skin myths. Did you know that 50% of Malaysian adults have sensitive skin? Yet for years, there’s been this misconception that sensitive skin products are “too mild” to be effective. Cetaphil is proving otherwise.

The Star of the Show: Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Skincare Range

One of the most exciting reveals was the Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Skincare Range — designed specifically for oily and acne-prone skin.

Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser

I’ve had my share of battles with managing post-pregnancy skincare routine and then breakouts, so this caught my attention instantly. The range features a Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser and a Gentle Exfoliating SA Lotion, both powered by a blend of three gentle acids:

  • PHA (Gluconolactone) – locks in moisture and hydrates.
  • AHA (Mandelic Acid) – improves skin tone and encourages cell turnover.
  • BHA (Salicylic Acid) – removes excess oil and calms redness.

What I love is that it’s not just about exfoliating — it also works to restore the skin barrier, which is key for sensitive skin types. Plus, the lotion offers up to 48 hours of hydration.

Skin analysis at the Cetaphil Skin Labs Malaysia event

The results they shared were impressive:

  • Blemishes reduced by 28%
  • Blackheads reduced by 45%
  • 90% of users said their skin felt smoother after just one use

For someone like me who needs something effective but non-irritating, this sounds like a skincare dream.

For the Little Ones: New Cetaphil Baby Soothing Moisturising Cream

Of course, as a loyal user of Cetaphil Malaysia’s skin lotions, I was thrilled to see a new product for little ones — the Cetaphil Baby Soothing Moisturising Cream.

This is a fragrance-freepetroleum-jelly-free formula created for newborns’ delicate skin. It soothes, hydrates, and protects against the 5 signs of skin sensitivity, with benefits that last up to 48 hours.

The formula combines Glycerin, Sunflower Oil, and Sweet Almond Oil, which together calm irritation, restore the skin barrier, and keep the baby’s skin soft. I’ve already added it to my youngest one’s skincare routine, and it’s been such a great one for his sensitive skin.

Why This Matters for Parents

As a mum, I know how overwhelming it can be to pick the right products when there’s so much conflicting advice out there. The Cetaphil SkinLABS experience really reinforced the importance of choosing science-backed skincare — especially for sensitive skin.

I’ve always trusted Cetaphil skincare because it delivers efficacy without compromise. This event just confirmed that they’re not slowing down when it comes to innovation and care.

A Beautiful Day of Learning and Bonding

Attending the event with my son wasn’t just about exploring new skincare or giving teen-him an insight into skincare (you know how careless a teen can be for their skin) — it was a chance for us to connect over something.

From posing for photos with oversized bottles of lotions to testing out the new Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Skincare Range, it was a joyful reminder that skincare is about more than just products — it’s about care, trust, and the little daily rituals that bring comfort.

Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Skincare Range

Final Thoughts

The Cetaphil SkinLABS launch was more than a brand event; it was a celebration of sensitive skin science and a promise to keep putting consumers first. Whether you’re dealing with acne, dryness, or caring for a baby’s delicate skin, Cetaphil Malaysia continues to prove that gentle can be powerful.

If you’re curious about the new Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Skincare Range or the Cetaphil Baby Soothing Moisturising Cream, I highly recommend checking them out. Especially I would mention the Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser has already become a favourite of mine from first use. Because when it comes to skincare — especially for sensitive skin — it pays to choose a brand that’s stood the test of time.

Here’s to more glowing skin days for both mums and the kids! 💙 For more information you can also visit www.cetaphil.com.my

By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water | Exfoliating Toner for Sensitive Skin that Works

32

By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid toners or the mandelic acid itself in skincare is not a new product in the market anymore. I started using my first Mandelic acid toner when By Wishtrend launched this (July 2017) By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water/ Mandelic Acid exfoliating toner.

[& here I am in 2023, now updating my first review on Wishtrends Mandelic acid toner as I’ve been using it again right now]

I’m a regular user of AHA, BHA, and Glycolic acid toners. Mandelic Acid is known for its kind nature, anti-aging benefits, and effectiveness in removing dead skin cells, etc. With the use of Wishtrend Mandelic Acid Water/toner, I actually got introduced to the behavior of this ingredient.

What is Mandelic Acid and how does it work?

Mandelic Acid, a different form of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) is extracted from bitter almonds. It has a larger molecular bond than regular AHA, thus, it is less harsh on the skin. However, it delivers the same benefits as AHA/BHA. It is very popular for its anti-bacterial characteristics.

It is very popular for its anti-bacterial and anti-aging characteristics. Mandelic Acid accelerates cellular regeneration rate and increases collagen production. Therefore the ingredient helps to balance melanin production. For its antibacterial properties, Mandelic Acid works effectively as an acne treatment as well.

Ingredients of By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water:

Water, Mandelic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Beta-Glucan, Panthenol, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Fruit Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Sorbitol, Dimethyl Sulfone, Chlorphenesin, Sodium Citrate, Arginine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Carbomer.

By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water | Exfoliating Toner for Sensitive Skin that Works

How I use Mandelic Acid Exfoliating Toner :

According to the brand, the toner is recommended for sensitive, dry, and acne-prone skin.
I have a combination skin type with no acne issue (that I could monitor) and I’m pretty much used to hardcore AHA/BHA stuff. I started using it in my morning skincare routine. After cleansing, I wipe my face with the Wishtrend Mandelic Acid-soaked cotton pad. On the bottle, it was instructed to use directly by patting it on the skin. I feel my skin needs a bit more exfoliating work thus the use of the cotton pad. Then I follow up with the rest of the skincare, moisturizer and all, and especially a high SPF sunscreen. Careful sun protection is when using an exfoliating toner for daytime even if you’re just sitting at home.

It’s been around two months since I’ve been using Wishtrend Mandelic Acid Skin Prep Water. I’ve given it a go for night-time skin care as well just the same way by using it after cleanser. Did took a break from it in between to see how my skin does without it.

I use exfoliating toners every day. If I’m using a mild one like this Wishtrend Mandelic Acid toner, I’m more likely to physically exfoliate my skin once a week as well.

Additionally,  I’ve been using retinol serums regularly in my PM skincare routine. Now that might sound a bit too much to you. But I’ve noticed my skin is quite tough and does completely okay with all this. Obviously, I won’t suggest you follow me because I don’t know how much your skin can tolerate.

[ In 2023 ]
DAMN! This mandelic acid toner works amazingly with every retinol product to date. Recently I’ve been using this one before my Paulas Choice Retinoid Serum (followed by the By Wishtrend Vitamin A-mazing Bakuciol Night Cream) and this toner simply works fantastic.

Products below in the picture I’ve been incorporating in my skincare lately with the mandelic acid toner. These By Wishtrend products come in a package called the ‘Powerful Skin Smoothing Package’ that is focused on better skin texture and anti-aging benefits. I’ll post a review soon on the By Wishtrend Vitamin A-mazing Bakuciol Night Cream (it deserves to be reviewed). meanwhile, you can check the reel I posted about it.

Powerfull Anti-aging skincare routine

My Experience with Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water

Simply, this exfoliating toner By Wishtrend with 5% Mandelic Acid is indeed very gentle on the skin compared to AHA, BHA, or Glycolic toners. It actually gave me no irritation or redness ever but leaves my skin smooth and fuss-free after every use.

Due to its added hydrating ingredient, it is hydrating on the skin. The other BHA toners I tried earlier (e.g. Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Toner) would leave my skin kinda squeaky clean but after using Wishtrend Mandelic Acid my skin feels a tad tacky. I assume it is because of the hydrating properties. It is not anything chafing though! It goes away when I follow up with a serum or next skincare product.

This mandelic Acid toner has been able to keep my skin fresh from the dead skin fuss. It was also effective in keeping up the skin’s brightness. My skin texture felt maintained as well.

It’s a mild toner and it gives mild exfoliation thus it’s a great chemical exfoliation option for sensitive skin. During these two months of using this, I was waiting for a day when my skin would feel unusually sensitive so I could monitor how the mandelic acid worked. But, fortunately, my skin has been doing perfectly and I haven’t got that chance.

To conclude,

I’ve no complaints about ByWishtrend Mandelic Acid toner. I actually like how gentle is this. This is a perfect option for those who face sensitivity problems with AHA/BHA.

Also, this could be a great option for those who are just starting with exfoliating toner. The kind and & gentle character it this one will surely help a new user to understand how their skin acts with such a product.

Phytoceane Skincare for Hydrated, Oxygenated & Radiant Skin with Iceland Water

0

I’ve recently gotten familiar with this French skincare brand called Phytoceane and two of its products. If you’re in pursuit of healthier and more radiant skin, the Moisturizing Gel and Moisturizing Refreshing Mist would turn out as promising additions to your skincare routine.

These products harness the power of Iceland Water, a nature’s gift to skincare. Iceland water is known for its exceptional hydrating, energizing, and oxygenating properties. Its pristine quality and unique composition make it a sought-after ingredient for achieving a fresh and radiant complexion.

Moisturizing Gel with Iceland Water:

Introducing Phytoceane Skincare | Hydrating, Oxygenating & Skin Radiance with Iceland Water

Immediate Hydration and Vitality

  • Immediate Revitalization: Ideal for dull, struggling skin, this gel moisturizer instantly revitalizes and moisturizes.
  • Fresh and Light: Its lightweight formula can be used alone or as a base under your regular skincare cream.
  • Immediate and Long-lasting Hydration: Skin hydration levels increased by more than 27% after 1 and 6 hours, as measured by corneometry on 11 volunteers.
Phytoceane Gel moisturizer: Hydrating, Oxygenating & Skin Radiance with Iceland Water

Although it says that it’s a moisturizing gel, this is actually a gel-type serum/concentrate that boosts the skin’s hydration level. It blends perfectly with other type of skincare products I’ve been using. Also works simply fine under makeup. This is no doubt one of the best types of moisturizing gel, in particular, I’ve used to date.

Sometimes I like to use it alone (without any moisturizer on top) cause it gives me that feeling of breathable skin.

I love the scent of it as well, it’s a light and refreshing one!

How to use:

Like all other concentrated serums, apply 2-3 pumps (this much I need) of the Phytoceane Moisturizing Gel to your face and neck, morning and evening after cleansing and toning, is all it takes to experience its wonders.

In my opinion, this concentrate is very much suitable for normal, oily, and combination skin. People with dry skin might not find it to be enough moisturizing, however, topped with an appropriate moisturizer it works just fine.

Moisturizing Refreshing Mist with Iceland Water:

Hydration and Cellular Boost

The Moisturizing Refreshing Mist is a game-changer in the world of skincare. Its light and refreshing water-like texture delivers the radiance-boosting and hydrating benefits of Iceland Water with every spritz. This mist increases the skin’s hydration rate by up to an impressive 61%, providing long-lasting moisture.

But hydration is just the beginning. This mist acts as a cellular energizer, stimulating the number of skin cells by up to 32%. Imagine your skin being revitalized from within, giving you a vibrant and youthful appearance.

Introducing Phytoceane Skincare | Hydrating, Oxygenating & Skin Radiance with Iceland Water

Versatile Application

One of the standout features of this mist is its versatility. You can use it in various ways:

  • Pre-Skincare Boost: Apply it in the morning and evening to prepare your skin for your regular skincare routine.
  • Makeup Fixer: Spritz it over your makeup to set it and keep it looking fresh throughout the day.
  • Instant Radiance: Carry it with you and use it anytime you need a splash of freshness to revive your complexion.

About Phytoceane Skincare :

Introducing Phytoceane Skincare | Hydrating, Oxygenating & Skin Radiance with Iceland Water

This energizes and revitalizes tired and dull skin, restoring its natural glow and radiance.

GRAPE E Anti-Aging Hydra Cream

The GRAPE E Anti-Aging Hydra Cream by Garden Of EDEN is expected to be a standout in the anti-aging category due to its impressive ingredient list and this is practically my favorite at first sight.

This cream contains a combination of timeless anti-aging vitamins, including Vitamins A, C, E, B3 (Niacinamide), and B6, along with superfood Goji Berry and Grape Seed Oil. These powerful antioxidants neutralize free radicals, strengthen the skin barrier, protect against environmental aggressors, and boost collagen production, resulting in firmer skin and reducing visible signs of aging. The GRAPE E Hydra Cream is enriched with Silver Vine extract, which enhances skin luminosity and serves as the perfect complement to the GRAPE E Anti-Aging Serum.
