LIFESTYLE@LXG: Jyunka launches TWO new products!

We at LXG are huge fans of Jyunka and did a happy dance when Jyunka sent us two of their latest launches; Jyunka 5-in-1 Gel Cleanser and the JYUNKA Extreme Hydrant Serum

JYUNKA 5-in-1 Gel Cleanser goes beyond just cleansing your skin. We should know, we all got a chance to try it out!

Enriched with H complex, it maintains harmony in the skin’s hydrous equilibrium while tackling skin sensitivity, perfect for those of us with sensitive skin or post laser treatment. 

This all-rounder is pH balanced, removes all traces of makeup (hoorah no double cleansing required!) and impurities, leaving your face looking and feeling so fresh and and clean. 

Do we love it, hell yeah! 

Extreme Hydrant Serum We all know that hydration is crucial to keep skin looking and feeling youthful and healthy. Tiredness, aging and sensitivity are often magnified due to insufficient moisture. 

Environmental factors, a lousy skin care regime, aging and insufficient sleep can cause a lack of hydration in the skin. The Extreme Hydrant Serum immerses your skin in an aqueous environment and locks the moisture in the upper epidermis to ensure optimal cellular activity. 

A special Visco-Elastic Complex using high molecular weight proteins, provides gentle nourishment while forming a protective layer, tightening pores and improving skin firmness. 

The LADY@LXG is currently using this twice a day and is in love! (this is all well and good, but not letting us use more than 1 pump is just mean!)

LIFESTYLE@LXG: Chen Chen tries the Thalasso facial at Immortelle Atelier!

Many people always stare at me in disbelief when I tell them my beauty routine consists only of cleansing and moisturizing. Period. Yes, that’s how lazy I am when it comes my skin care. I find it chore to even slap on sunscreen before heading out, let alone go for a facial.

So when my girlfriend raved to me about this really fabulous facial she’d had I just brushed it aside. Until I checked myself out in the mirror one day and had the shock of my life – tiny bumps lined my forehead, my cheeks were dehydrated and I looked like l’ve been punched in the eyes. Horrified by this discovery I called  my girlfriend up and made her book me an appointment with her facialist, pronto.

And thats how I found myself at Immortelle Aterlier, two days later.

The salon, although small and cozy, pays great attention to ensuring that customers get only the best. The bed linen is super luxe and so is the robe. The attention to detail is impressive!

After a detailed skin assessment, my beauty therapist recommended two treatments for me – the Thalasso Facial and Meridian Eyecare Treatment.

The first is designed to rejuvenate tired skin and comprises of an active ingredient specifically tailored for my skin type. It is then followed by a micro-algae mask that helps to rebalance and delivers long-lasting hydration deep into the skin. The latter incorporates the “Guasha” method (a form of traditional Chinese therapy), and uses a smooth bone to apply pressure and relax the eye area. Total bliss!! You MUST try their eye treatment and the best part?its only $48 by itself! 

I must say that the treatments felt really luxurious and pampering! My therapist's masterful massage strokes put me in a totally relaxed, almost meditative state, and I loved the rich and soothing scents of the Maria Galland products used.

More importantly, my skin felt much smoother and hydrated, and I no longer look like Kungfu Panda!
