With Mother’s Day right around the corner (T-4 days now!), it’s time to show her you care. This year, you can give your precious mother some beauty and wellness goodies that will surely bring a smile to her face. If you’re feeling stuck on what type of products to get your hands on, keep reading, as we share the best beauty products for mature skin as well as products ideal for sensitive, compromised complexions, so you can dive head-first into shopping. There’s no time to waste, here are the beauty products that are fit for a queen.
Infused with skin-identical vitamins and minerals, Rationale’s The HydraCalm Light Crème is a great product for giving the skin a well-deserved shot of hydration. As Southeast Asia suffers from the effects of the recent unrelenting sun, this lightweight cream is powered by a protein complex that soothes the skin and restores the skin’s natural lipid barrier. Plus, this product helps to visibly improve firmness, so achieving a plump complexion has never been easier.
The HydraCalm Light Crème from Rationale is available from 16 April 2024 onwards as a gift with all purchases over $350.
For that radiant glow, you can buy your mother some luminous blush from Nars. The beauty brand that brought us cult favourites including the shade Orgasm has now reformulated its blushes to last up to 16 hours, so your mom can go the entire day without needing a pesky touch-up. In addition to its high-impact colour payoff, the new blushes from Nars are also great at blurring wrinkles and fine lines on the skin, so it’s a great option to consider for those with a more textured complexion.
The new Nars blushes are available islandwide from 9 May 2024.
This Mother’s Day, why not gift her a luxurious perfume? With the J’adore Eau de Parfum from Dior Beauty, let your mom relish in the everlasting fragrance of ylang ylang, Damascus rose and rare jasmine varieties. So every time she spritzes this deliciously floral scent, she’ll think of you. After all, nothing says ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ as well as a carefully picked-out fragrance, just for her.
Dior Beauty’s J’adore Eau de Parfum can be purchased at $152 for 30ml, $204 for 50ml, $294 for 100mland $368 for 150ml.
If your mom has been looking for a serum to add to her skincare routine, help her skip all the drama and get her the Protini™ Powerpeptide Resurf Serum from Drunk Elephant. This superpowered serum helps to improve overall skin tone (including that unwelcome discolouration that comes with age), radiance and bounce. Boasting 11 peptides in its formula, this serum can even help with sun damage, making this product an instant need.
The Drunk Elephant Protini™ Powerpeptide Resurf Serum can be purchased from Sephora’s retail and online platforms for $122 for 30ml.
When it comes to keeping our skin young, it’s not only about the face. As we age, the skin on our body becomes more prone to wrinkles and is just more sensitive overall to environmental changes. Say hello to more fine lines, dryness and age spots. Enter The Geranium Rose Body Oil from Augustinus Bader. The lightly scented oil works wonders on the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, so your skin will look smoother than ever.
Augustinus Bader The Geranium Rose Body Oil (100ml, $197) is available exclusively at the Augustinus Bader counter and online at Takashimaya. It will subsequently be available at Sephora (ION, Raffles City, Marina Bay Sands, online) from 30 May 2024.
