WELLA PROFESSIONALS

The German hair care company has launched the revolutionary Illumina Color Japan range, a professional colour system formulated in Japan and designed specifically for Asian hair.

The patented Trilumina Balance technology expresses the translucent colour and the Microlight (EDDS) technology keeps hair conditions in pristine quality, reducing hair fall with up to 40 per cent less cuticle damage and leaving hair smoother and more radiant even after several washes.

Also done at the salon, Wella's new professional three-step repairing hair treatment Wellaplex ($169) and Illumina Color Japan provide the most luminous hues and help to retain hair's natural bounce and vigour.

Wella hair services start from $189 at salons listed on the Wella Professionals SEA & Korea Facebook page.

SUPERGOOP!

The US beauty brand is introducing its 100% Mineral Matte Screen SPF 40 ($56), an ultra-light, water and sweat resistant, non-whitening sunscreen formula available in a universal tint.

It also serves as a skin-perfecting matte primer while providing broad spectrum protection - UVA, UVB, IRA and even against blue light.

Containing argan oil, which is rich in fatty acids and vitamin E, it helps skin stay moisturised easily without feeling greasy.

It also contains white mulberry root, which helps to brighten and improve the look of uneven skin tones. Moreover, the butterfly bush extract helps to protect against blue light that is emitted from electronic devices.

Supergoop!'s 100% Mineral Matte Screen SPF 40 is available at Sephora stores islandwide and online at www.sephora.sg.

BIORE

The Japanese skincare brand's Micellar Cleansing Water range - consisting of Acne Care, Oil Control and Moist Up ($18.90 each) - is infused with mineral water sourced from the northern Japanese Alps on the island of Honshu, making the products extra gentle on the skin.

The range uses an anti-bacterial formula that helps prevent pimples and outbreaks, while minimising the appearance of pores for a clearer, smoother and more refined complexion.

Biore's Micellar Cleansing Water range is available at all pharmacies, hypermarkets and supermarkets.
