Some days are better than others, and the truth is, we don’t wake up every day feeling our best. Perhaps you’re frustrated by your particularly unruly hair today, or maybe a pimple has appeared unannounced on your face. These things – and more – can spoil your day and dampen your spirits.

To lift your mood, consider these solutions that are loved by some of our favourite beauty experts.

“I’ve been a loyal fan of Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum ever since I worked on a project with them years ago. I’ve since used ten bottles to date, and it’s one of the products that I carry with me all the time – whether it’s on set or work trips. I use it to prep my skin after a long night’s shoot; I mix it with my foundation to give my skin an extra glow – it always works wonders!”

“I love getting a massage whenever I can and RoyalWay TCM is my go-to. It gives me some alone time and I always feel good and ready to take on the world afterwards!”

“At 46 years old, I think I look great for men my age – but I do need extra help to address the sun damage on my skin as a result of tanning in my early 20s. I visit Epion Clinic and Epion Aesthetics for their Pico Laser, Sylfirm and Profhilo to get smooth and bouncy looking skin. They also provide one of the best medi-facials that I’ve experienced in Singapore, and I always go to them two to three days before attending any big events.

I bleach my hair a lot, which can leave it looking frizzy. To manage this, I rely on Briogeo's Don't Despair, Repair! Rich Rice Shampoo Concentrate, using it twice weekly. It effectively cleanses my scalp without over-washing the hair. Additionally, I use the Don't Despair, Repair! Strengthening + Repair Hair Treatment to strengthen the hair cuticles.”

"The two beauty products that I rely on are Dior's La Micro-Lotion De Rose and La Micro-Huile De Rose Serum. The former helps to balance my skin, and I've noticed that my skin looks more refined, less red, and my pores appear less visible. As for the latter, it helps my skin look visibly plumper, more radiant, and less tired."

“I’ve recently learned how gua sha can help to tone and tighten the face and neck. This helps to make my skin appear more radiant and youthful, boosting my confidence in my 30s

Previously, without the Calm app,I wasn’t as mindful as I am now. The mobile application has helped me to calm down and realign my headspace. This has in turn enabled me to be more present and confident when I’m interacting with people."

Lee Jungmin, founder of Ksisters

“These days, I prefer a light and natural makeup look so I use Jung Beauty Soft Matte Translucent Loose Powder which doesn't clog my pores for my everyday wear. When I use it, I look good and feel good in my own skin.

Besides, taking care of my skin, scalp and hair health is important to me too. Treating myself to the pampering Phytopecia Head Spa treatment at Suchehwa by Ted which takes care of my scalp and tresses is one of my favourite things to do for a confidence boost!”
