Hong Kong’s summer season is probably the most dreaded climate cycle of the year. High humidity coupled with high temperature create shirts that become sponge for sweat glands.

In addition to the season of thunderstorms and typhoons, hot and sweaty weather in Hong Kong offer sorts of inconvenience people of all walks of life. But this piece of inconvenience — which could bring sweaty face, oily face and other unmentionables — could prove more embarrassing to young women who may be more conscious about skincare. The usual measures could make things worse. For example, as we wipe the sweat off our faces, we are actually wiping away the layer that protect our sin. Also, Hong Kong’s extensive use of airconditioning often can make skin dull and dry over the summer season.

Saving ourselves the embarrassment, and more importantly, our delicate skin staying in a hot and humid Hong Kong summer takes a few careful steps.

1. Cleansing.While cleansing removes unwanted particles off our skin, washing our faces right as it receives heat from the sun can harm our skin. The proper procedure is to wash face with cold water to cool of the heat received, then cleanse the face. During summer, the pores of the face could be bombarded with sweat and oil so it’s a good idea to use a cleanser that has sebum and water balance. Makeup, sweat and blackheads can easily cause blemishes and acne during summer so a foam of choice should be that of a gentle facial cleanser.

Many women will face the problem of stretch masks during pregnancy.

Stretch marks is no way to avoid, but there are some produts to control and reduce them. And I am going to recommend a product to prevent stretch marks.

Clarins’ Stretch Mark Control: HK$540

It helps to control the stretch marks and also keep elasticity & comfort. It is fragrance-free. And the cream can reduce the appearance of stretch marks resulting from pregnancy, puberty or weight fluctuations. It enhances the production of collagen fibres to boost skin’s elasticity and resistance to future stretch marks. Clarins’ Stretch Mark Control is useful to control stretch marks during pregnancy.

Hong Kong may have plenty of shops selling just about anything from anywhere in the world. But it helps to know where do locals usually go to when looking for specific commodities.

Now, let’s look at men’s personal care: shaving cream.

Shaving Cream
Locals in Hong Kong generally keep facial hair at bay. And while it’s not a crime to maintain yours, it’s not a common observation to see people growing moustache or beard, even during Movember month. So getting a shaving cream comes in handy.

The natural plant-based face oil has become a skin care trend lately. Since there are too many choices of brand and type of oil in the market, you may feel confuse on choosing a suitable one. Therefore, here I would like to share my review of Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil and hope that it could be your reference on picking face oil.

Who suits for it? 

It’s for the normal skin type, but it is also good for people with oily skin when in the dry weather. The face oil is 100% pure plant extracts, so its natural for many people even with sensitive skin.

How it works? 

This face oil contains the extracts of Rosewood, Patchouli and Blue Orchid to tone, revitalise and restore radiance to moisture-depleted skin.

Face oil becomes a popular skin care option recently as its plant-based, natural and highly moisturise advantages. Want to catch up this beauty trend in 2016, but hesitating on choosing the best face oil for your skin type? Here you go!

Dry Skin 

People with Dry Skin usually have uncomfortable condition such as scaling, itching, irritants and etc. For Dry Skin people, what your skin needs at the point is just proper hydration. Clarins Santal Face Treatment Oil is a good pick for dry skin. The sandalwood, cardamom and lavender extracts can tone, soothe, comfort and decongest skin that is dry, irritated or stressed. It also contains hazelnut oil, which helps to prevent moisture loss and the formation of fine lines.

Normal Skin

People with normal skin actually need no more moisture as your skin is already making a right balance, but you still could benefit from the oils with other benefits. For example, the grape-seed oil can help to fight off the damage caused by sunlight and reduce spots and wrinkles. Olay Regenerist Luminous Facial Oil is thus a good choice for you.

Hong Kong may have brief, mild winters but it does not mean our physical make up does not react to it. Lips get chapped, hot showers can result to dry hair or itchy hands. And generally dry weather conditions leave our skin parched and lack moisture.

So as the season changes from warm to chilly in Hong Kong, we also need to bring out necessary kit to take care of our skin.

1. Chapped and cracked lips
During winter, chapped lips is caused by lack of moisture lips receive as weather becomes dry, as well as harsh wind. As it gets peeled, lips become unapealling and irritating. It can get exacerbated by frequent licking. A serious condition indicates chapped lips us caused by dehydration that must be attended to by a health professional.

A joyful trip requires careful planning, so we need to list out what we will pack for the travel before we leave. Various destinations have different must-bring items, but listed below are my 5 must-pack items applicable for travel to most of the destinations.

1. Camera: I am usingCanon G7 X, it is small and light, and have WiFi that allows me to share the photos on social media immediately.

2. Skin care products: I will bring my toner, emulsion and serum according to the weather of the travel destination. Also bring the body lotion and my favorite isClarins energizing emulsion, it gives a relaxing treatment for tired legs, suitable for travel.

3. Spare medicine: better prepare the painkiller, cold medicine, diarrhea medicine, etc. in case you are not feeling well during the journey, and I usually bring Seirogan and panadol.

4. Luggage lock: used to prevent luggage from opening by accident, just a little coded lock is enough, I don’t use key lock as I am afraid of losing the key.

Body lotion is always a must-have skin care item, especially in Autumn and Winter. A good lotion is not only hydrating your skin, but can also help to repair different skin problems such as ageing, allergic skin and etc. But there are so many different brands and types of body lotion, here I will compare different body lotions and find out the best one.

1.Vaseline Body Lotion★★★★
The most convenient option with good quality. Fast-healing moisture for when your skin’s dry and rough, absorbs fast for a non-greasy feel and relieves stubborn dry patches. Best for dry and sensitive skin.

2.Clarins Energizing Emulsion★★★★★
