Create silky, straight style, retro flicks, or glam, voluminous waves with its smooth, rounded barrel depending on your mood, and have a good hair day, every day.

In addition, the styler has an automatic ‘sleep mode’, and switches off after 30 minutes of being idle, so you can use it safely and with peace of mind. Users rave about the non-damaging styler being intuitive to use, surprisingly lightweight, time-saving, and providing their hair with lasting shine and a smooth finish. Being ghd’s most tested product so far, the 4.6/5 star-rated Platinum+ styler also comes with a three-year warranty.

Curicare LED Mask

Curicare Lab is Korea’s top technology development expert. The Curicare LED Mask combines 20 years of R&D with breakthrough technology in the beauty industry. While staying home is becoming a social norm, this homecare beauty device only requires 8 minutes of treatment per session daily at the comfort of your own home. It also comes with ergonomic and futuristic design with full spectrum care from your hairline to neckline, covering the T-zone and more.

There are 4 modes that can customise your facial experience: Daily mode improves skin elasticity and regeneration by generating collagen and using light beams that penetrate into the deep tissues of the skin, while strengthening skin elasticity by improving the balance of sebaceous glands; Calming mode controls melanin and improves brown spots by promoting blood circulation and reducing inflammation; Secret mode promotes cell growth and accelerates the healing process; and Rhythm mode smoothens wrinkles with a skin lifting effect and brightens skin tone.

If you are sensitive to light, Secret mode uses 100% near-infrared light which is non-visible so you don’t have to worry about any glare. The Curicare LED Mask is a wireless device that also has a ventilator for easy breathing.

Nu Skin ageLOC Boost

Nu Skin has launched ageLOC Boost®, a breakthrough beauty device system that uses an exclusive microcurrent waveform with variable pulse technology to create visibly brighter, plumper and bouncier skin in a matter of just two minutes.

The treatment combines the Nu Skin ageLOC Boost device and ageLOC Boost Activating Treatment to give your skin a stunning refresh with each use. The exclusive device technology paired with potent, regenerative ingredients gives you brighter skin by diminishing the signs of premature ageing, reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and evening out skin tone for a radiant complexion.

The ageLOC Boost device sends charged-balanced, intermittent, restorative pulses to the skin eight times per second. When used with the Nu Skin ageLOC Boost Activating Treatment, this microcurrent optimises and activates the skin to achieve a more glowing youthful complexion.

Zenyum is a local start-up in Singapore that provides consumers with affordable dental treatment options. In 2018, Zenyum empowered thousands of people to straighten their teeth with our Invisible Braces and fulfil their dream to Smile More. 

This year, Zenyum is going beyond just Invisible Braces. They have recently launched Zenyum White, a medical-grade and dentist-prescribed whitening product that whitens your teeth in 5 days, with effects that last up to 6 months for SGD$289.

You can also choose to add on scaling and polishing at the dental clinic for an additional +SGD$80 for the best results. 

Step 2: Your Zenyum White Kit will then be sent to you 7-14 working days after your dental consultation.
