Revitalise your skin from fasting-induced dehydration and give your pores a refreshing drink this season with Meeth’s Morerich Essential Lotion. Developed from purified deep sea water from Hokkaido, this beauty elixir is rich with natural minerals and skin-healing nutrients.

The lotion features plant-derived Pentavitin that promotes skin hydration by binding to the skin and locking in soothing moisture. It also nurtures the skin to give out a clear, even-toned and dewy complexion.

The product is suitable for all skin types – ranging from dry to inflamed and acne-prone skin.

Two in one

Why choose between hydrating your skin and protecting it from the scorching sun when you can do both? Lightweight and oil-free, Fenty Skin’s Hydra Vizor SPF 30 Sunscreen Moisturiser boosts the skin with light-as-air, all-day hydration that meets universal SPF 30 protection.

Formulated with Kalahari Melon and niacinamide, this refillable sunscreen moisturiser effectively tackles discolouration and stubborn dark spots. The fresh desert melon fragrance also makes application all the more addicting.

The pink-tinted cream has a plush texture that applies smoothly on the skin without piling up. It also plays well with makeup, absorbing instantly to smooth and soften skin.

The best part? There’s no flashback either, so there’s no need to worry about your face looking cakey in Raya photos.

Supple lips

Taking care of our lips is just as important as taking care of our skin, especially since it’s one of the first places where dehydration shows. Keep your lips nourished and luscious with Laneige’s Hello Blossom Lip Sleeping Mask.

The Lip Sleeping Mask is formulated with a dermatologically validated mild solution to prevent irritation. It also has an added floral scent that reminds you of spring cherry blossoms.
