Apart from the usual suspects like fragrance, alcohol and the overly enthusiastic use of acids, everything one uses has the potential to dry his skin out (if one has a moisture analyser, the ideal percentage is between 40 to 70% — anything that dips below signals dangerous territory). Everyday actions like stepping into an air-conditioned room also hold the potential to cause dryness because of the shift in humidity levels. Misting the face without patting it off can pull moisture when the mist evaporates. Even sitting on a chair innocuously causes dryness, with the constant ticking hands of time halting the production of oil that leads to a more visually aged look.
The simplest solution is to just hydrate one’s skin as best as he can, the boost of moisture helping to flush away toxins while carrying nutrients to the skin’s cells to do what it has to do. Each skincare product in the four LAB SERIES Expert Skincare Regimen certainly does just that, albeit smarter and even better when used as a set.
None of them require much finesse to use — a squirt on one’s palm and a gentle press on the skin is all he needs — but this straightforward act that requires just 10 seconds makes all the difference between looking tired and well-rested (by boosting the skin’s radiance and glow) and it even dispels the cracking stretch one experiences when he smiles with dry skin. A seamless transition into the hotter months and in Singapore’s tropical weather, all year round.
