There is a simple solution to luminous complexion and hydrated skin in winters &#8211; a good face oil which locks the moisture in your skin. There are a ton of options in the market, deciding on which oil suits your skin needs can be tricky – we&#8217;ve spoken to the experts and done the ground work to pick out the multi-tasking beauty staples in the market – all you have to do is swipe your credit card and dab, dab&#8230;
How Do Oils Work?
Extracted from fruits and different parts of&nbsp;plants, oils are rich in fatty acids, amino acids,&nbsp;vitamins and antioxidants. More importantly, they&nbsp;contain linoleic and oleic acids, which not only (at&nbsp;least in the case of the former) help to prevent&nbsp;acne in oily complexions, but also lock in moisture&nbsp;to curb the ravages of dry skin. Softening the&nbsp;epidermis and penetrating deep into the layers&nbsp;of the dermis, they maximise the benefits of your&nbsp;other beauty products and boost hydration.

For those with sensitive skin or prone to eczema and acne breakouts, it’s important to choose face&nbsp;oils that are light in texture and eschew fragrance,&nbsp;paraben, alcohol and sodium lauryl sulphate, all of&nbsp;which may cause irritation and redness. Natural&nbsp;Japanese skincare brand Botanic Pretti5 infuses&nbsp;traditional Chinese medicine remedies such as&nbsp;snow mushroom, gold flower root and liquorice&nbsp;root extract into its products. Its Miracle Glow&nbsp;Facial Oil is a case in point, liberating the epidermis&nbsp;by soothing irritation and locking in moisture.&nbsp;Suitable for vegans and all skin types, it is rich in&nbsp;anti-inflammatory jojoba oil and squalene – a natural&nbsp;emollient found in olives, delivers a healthy bloom and&nbsp;protective shield to the complexion.

Winter Essentials: Facial oils that take hydration to the next level

The skincare industry has become a multimillion-dollar sector&nbsp;that has earned its global legion of fans for&nbsp;its promises to help people of all ages beat the ravages of time and maintain optimal dermal health. However, there are a few secrets that even the most dedicated of skincare enthusiasts may not have been aware of. From skipping on the day-and-night eye cream ritual to the misleading truth about marketing labels, here are five beauty truths that might just change the way you view skincare…

1. Skip the eye cream 
Basically a miniature moisturiser, most eye creams don’t actually contain any special ingredient that specifically benefits the ocular area. Although it doesn&#8217;t do any harm, it could be that normal creams could be just as effective&#8230;
2.&nbsp;Beware of &#8216;Hypoallergenic&#8217; and&nbsp;&#8216;Noncomedogenic&#8217; labels 
These are two inaccurate marketing terms that can commonly be found on even the most popular skincare products, despite still containing potentially harmful ingredients such as parabens, sulfates, and chemicals that can irritate the skin and cause free-radical damage.
3. SPF levels in most moisturisers and foundations are not enoughAlthough some&nbsp;moisturisers and foundations claim to offer some SPF protection,&nbsp;they quite often don’t offer sufficient protection against the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays for two reasons:
​(i) Most of these products don&#8217;t contain ingredients that block out UVA, a primary culprint of skin cancer and ageing.
(ii) Because of how&nbsp;thin-textured these creams are, it would take about 15 times more layer to adequately recieve the kind of SPF protection the product claims to provide.
4. Natural is not always the best 
There’s no real regulation for terms like organic, natural and vegan that guarantee their quality or that their production processes are sustainable. Besides, certain organic ingredients such as some plant-based essential oils, if not carefully&nbsp;applied, can cause burns and irritations on the skin. &#8216;All-natural&#8217;, on the other hand, is a term that is worth looking&nbsp;out for in products as they are typically more transparent about their biodiversity&nbsp;and are certified organic.
5. Opt for &#8216;fragrance-free&#8217;, not &#8216;unscented&#8217; products 
Fragrance-free means that synthetic&nbsp;fragrance&nbsp;materials or masking scents are not used in the product. On the other hand, unscented generally means that the product may contain chemicals that neutralise or mask the odours of other ingredients, leading to other irritations or allergic reactions.

Skincare Secrets: Five beauty truths that the industry won’t tell you

Anti-ageing doesn’t need to be sleight-of-hand, with coy contrivances adopted to inveigle an improved Instagram image. Instead, it should be all about restoring the health of your eroded epidermis, with reality – not appearance – being your ultimate objective. Sounds impossible? In fact, all you need is a little commitment, a few apt insights and, of course, the perfect portfolio of pampering products.

Quite apart from complementary cosmetics, the skin has its own natural renewal programme. Sadly, its effectiveness diminishes with every life landmark we pass. Fortunately, Helena Rubinstein, one the L’Oréal stable of luxury brands, claims its anti-ageing Prodigy Cellglow can help reboot this natural renewal cycle, restoring your skin to its firm and supple prime.

Rather than rebooting, Estée Lauder’s Revitalizing Supreme Anti-Aging Power Soft Emulsion takes a slightly subtler approach. Its judicious use of stem cell extract is said to unlock the skin’s lost lustre, while burnishing its natural moisture barrier.

For those looking for a more targetted zap, though, there is Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge Contour Cream. According to Sisley, its Paris-based maker, it’s an anti-ageing solution that&#8217;s all but guaranteed to smooth out those wrinkles and leave you laughter line-free.

Anti-Ageing: Ditch the dated look for a more dewy demeanour…

Today’s fast-paced modern life is the biggest enemy of youthful skin. To combat stress and fatigue at their very source – the skin cells – Gafencu’s beauty team has hand-selected the best boosting super serums for a refreshed, just-got-back-from-Bali look.
Dior Science recently studied the mechanisms of cellular fatigue in order to combat “inflamm-ageing” (low-level inflammation associated with ageing). The Rose de Granville’s 20 precious micro-nutrients are extracted, with their life force being preserved through a cutting-edge micro-encapsulation process.

The Serum from Clé de Peau Beauté combines four ingredients: Chai Hu extract, cornflower extract, Inositol (a natural nutrient), and white lily and tormentilla extract (an herb), to bring out the skin’s natural beauty.
Natura Bisse’s Inhibit High Definition Serum contains a 71 percent concentration of active ingredients, including anti-ageing components. They work as a bio-emulsion, meaning they are immediately absorbed into your skin, getting right to work where it’s needed most.

Lancôme’s Advanced Génifique Sensitive&nbsp;is a dual concentrate which contains the iconic Advanced Génifique Youth Activator, a new soothing probiotic fraction, and a blue ampoule infused with extremely pure antioxidant ingredients.
Albion’s newly launched product – Infiness Upsurge Solution – promotes the growth of dermal tissue. This has a lifting effect, leading to firmer and fresher skin.

Incorporate any one of these super serums into your daily skin regime, and you’ll be feeling – and looking – younger in no time!

Super Serums: Give your face a new glow with these rejuvenating ranges

After taking off in late September, the Southern European kiwi season is now officially in full force. Paving the way for <a href="https://premiumeuropeankiwi.eu/en">certified European kiwi</a> in Hong Kong, Greek farmers who harvest the fruit flew in recently for an intimate party at <a href="http://www.grassrootspantry.com">Grassroots Pantry</a> (108 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan).
Organised by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/tastingkitchen">Tasting Kitchen</a>, the European Kiwi Party featured “gooseberry” cocktails (kiwi rum punch) by award-winning mixologist Jay Khan, savoury and sweet kiwi canapé and a showpiece kiwi cake designed by Joanna Yuen, cake artist of <a href="http://www.thesecretwithin.co">The Secret Within</a> (thesecretwithin.co).
Kiwi isn’t just delicious, it’s good for you, too. Two kiwis have twice the vitamin C of an orange, as much potassium as a banana and the fibre equivalent of a bowl of whole grain cereal – all for less than 100 calories! They’re also rich in magnesium, potassium electrolytes and amino acids. Even the seeds are packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, which lower the risk of coronary heart disease.
The fuzzy fruit is also a boon for beauty enthusiasts, containing high levels of vitamins A, K and E (for skin cell moisturisation and regeneration) as well as flavonoid antioxidants such as beta carotene, lutein and xanthin. The latter are major antioxidants that can delay the effects of ageing while aiding digestion.
Check out the latest issue of Gafencu’s print magazine or the Gafencu app for easy-to-make&nbsp;DIY kiwi masks, face scrubs and even a recipe for Raw Kiwi Pie!
