As a local Malaysian, we also have a range of beauty products that is suitable for our asian skin. And these days, everything is about anti-aging formula. One of the known brands in Malaysia is Safi that just recently launched their new Safi Youth Radiance range that is a combination of anti-aging + whitening.
This Safi Youth Radiance has a rather unique formulation that consists of the Saffron Gold Technology with premium Saffron Extract, Nano Gold, Beetox and Lipo Vit-C in its product. It is entirely HALAL certified and it combines the power of science and technology as it is terminologically tested.

The Safi Youth Radiance comes in two range with its ease-to-use features :

1. Safi Youth Radiance Anti-Aging & Whitening Essence 100ml (RM 55.90) : With Hyaluronic Acid and Saffron Gold Technology it is designed to be water-based for easy absoption into skin leaving a clear skin without any leftover residue feeling behind. It is also clinically tested at Safi Research Institute to brighten skin and provides a youthful bounce.


I love how this packaging looks like because it looks really shimmery and shiny with gold flakes in the texture that is surprisingly gentle on the skin after massaging it in. You can also use this as a moisturizer or toner that lasts up to 24 hours! So if you're always on-the-go, this will be good for you.


2. Safi Youth Radiance Serum Infused Moisturiser 40g (RM 55.90) : Formulated at their Safi Research Institute, this one is of a cream gel texture that also provides whitening and hydration benefit to the skin. This will leave your skin feeling smooth and looking younger without the feeling of oily residue. This cream gel consists of Saffron Extract, Lipo Vit-C and Vita B3, which helps improve uneven skin tones, fine lines and dullness.

Its texture is really unique as once applied, it transforms into water droplets where it allows a deeper penetration into the skin surface as you massage it in. This can be used also as a replacement for your night regime moisturizer because it helps skin repair.


Best to use both together if you want better result and to use it daily for consistent result as a good maintenance for your skin regime. To get your Safi Youth Radiance range, they are now available at Watsons, Guardian and AEON Wellness outlets nationwide.

Was recently been introduced to the Murad Age Reform range and gotten a sample from the outlet to try it for myself. I just thought of sharing how this handy beauty gel from Murad Malaysia works and how it felt on my skin incase you're considering to purchase to full set.


Sometimes when we go out to meet people or even when going for company dinner and events or friends gathering and parties; We always tend to want to look our best! So we grab whatever promotion or offers out there that is affordable or on sale and then just apply them on our face. But how many of us really know the products and how it can truly benefit us? How many of you out there really look into the products and where it is derived from before purchasing it for your own use. Most times I noticed, if the price is affordable, just grab it.


Well, it's actually good to know what works well for your skin because not everything is suitable for everyone. So today, let me just share my thoughts after using this Murad Age Reform : Invisiblur Perfecting Shield Broad Spectrum with SPF 30++ and what it does for our skin.

Firstly, the actual bottle is definitely bigger sized than this. This is a sample only from the outlet. Because I am very careful with what I put on my skin, I make sure that the product is worth it.


It's texture is similar to putting on a primer gel, as it has a smooth gel-like texture that as you rub it in your skin, it absorbs well and leaves an after-lingering floral fragrance. And due to its texture, it makes a really good soft-focus complex primer that primes for up to 12 hours of flawless makeup. It helps to blur, primes and protects the skin with its non-comedogenic, colorless hybrid primer that flatters any skin tone.


As it name suggests, Age Reform, it helps to also visibly reduce the appearance of pores, fine lines and uneven textures. Even if you leave it on for up to 12 hours, it helps to protect your skin under your makeup. Am sure if you apply makeup, the biggest concern for every women is the breakouts after putting on makeup for longer hours because of the block pores due to the makeup we use (and even some ingredients that we may not be aware of that triggers to breakouts).


Another thing to take note of this, is the invisible SPF shields against UVA and UVB damage. It has an extensive coverage of SPF 30 | PA++ that is perfect for most Asian skin because of our sunny tropical weather all year long.


There was also a clinical study reported that after 3-days, 71% saw fewer fine lines and wrinkles, 94% saw improved smoothness and texture and 100% invisible SPF 30 protection. Most importantly, it does not contain parabens, sulfates, phthalates, gluten and animal-derived ingredients.



So it is safe and suitable for normal, oily, combination or dry skin types. Using it is simple, just apply and massage evenly over your face, neck and chest. It can also be applied on its own or under your makeup.

If you're like me a "Work-From-Home-Mom" who is always on-the-go, always multi-tasking and juggling life as a mom and an entrepreneur at the same time doing things you're passionate about, like me is creating and writing; then I am sure you can relate when you sometimes need to take a break from your life and just pamper yourself. However, I've been looking through several products now and found that I can now have a quality home care treatment at the comfort of my own space with this product that I'd like to share about.


SHO is designed and curated around science and beauty treatment combined. With certain ingredients as their main focus, it can help to target many areas of our skin that we can simply use it at the comfort of your home, don't have to go to any beauty salon for this kind of premium quality treatment for your skin. Plus, it is a long term solution for a balance care that helps to improve skin moisture as well as providing a complete anti-wrinkle care, depending on what you are looking for.


What is SHO?
SHO actually stands for Special Homecare Origin. If you've never heard of this bran before then you don't know what you are missing out on. SHO is a Korean product that is curated under strict standard to ensure quality and assurance which is ISO certified and internationally recognized. It's free from harmful ingredients and it's even safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women. (I am still breastfeeding my youngest by the way)




The most effective ingredient known for elasticity of skin, which is PEPTIDE and I've been using the SHO Wrinkle Lift Peptide Ampoule Mask 27ml x 7pcs (RM159) for a mere 2 weeks (once a week) and I would say that it is a really good mask to have because I have a combination skin where my T-zone is oily, my cheeks & eyebrow are sensitive, my chin and jawlines are dry and the rest of my skin is normal. So after using this mask, I like that is keeps my skin moist and feeling fresh; At the same time, it does not make my skin look inflamed because I have sensitive skin at some areas of my face, some mask can irritate my skin causing further breakouts. SHO Ampoule mask really gives my skin the subtle moist after-effect whilst keeping my skin elasticity intact. I actually felt the firmness of my skin after a good mask session with SHO. Worth the try! Unlike the daily masks I used to have, this is actually more as a treatment mask. I even noticed that it helped to reduce the inflammation of the bulging zits that pops on my face, making it less painful.

Scent : 💗💗💗💗 The smell is not strong and just the right light fragrant, will be quite subtle to some. But its really gentle on the skin.
Texture : 💗💗💗💗💗 The mask feels smooth like jelly but not flimsy and easy to put on.
Overall : 💗💗💗💗💗 Love it on my skin and it has a lot of excess solution in each pack that you can actually put into a small container to use as your serum or use it for your hands and legs. Your whole body deserves a quality home care treatment, it's your skin afterall.



Apart from that, I added the SHO Wrinkle Lift Peptide Ampoule 50ml (RM189) to my daily skincare routine and even under my makeup. This range of product with PEPTIDE actually contains 3 kind of proteins including PEPTIDE. I like how it is functioned to build a barrier for my skin while keeping it anti-wrinkle free, moist and enhancing my skin's elasticity. Especially when applying makeup to events, I require a good protection for my skin from all the makeup and foundation that may eventually dry out my skin overtime. It also keeps my skin feeling smooth and looking healthy. Been really satisfied using it. It's not oil, water or cream base but it is actually more of a "Spold" type, that is quite rich/thick that enables me to adjust the quantity of drop I require for my skin. I replaced my serum with this solution because it is 3x more effective when it comes to absorption and effective! I noticed an immediate result of having the oil on my T-zone significantly reduced while keeping my whole face especially my dry chin and jawline moist.

Scent : 💗💗💗💗💗 It has the same subtle fragrance (my nose is pretty sensitive ya) but I love it, just nice. Like having a light fragrance on your face under your makeup.
Texture : 💗💗💗💗💗 It's like liquid but a thicker version called "spold", it makes it easier to produce to exact amount of quantity that you may require. So you can adjust, won't have any excess or waste.
Overall : 💗💗💗💗💗 Great absorption and only 1 drop can evenly spread out across my face, can use for a long time, worth buying!
Their products are suitable for everyone from all walks of life because wrinkles and fine lines are common in everyone and with a good home care regime of products such as this; It can help to enhance your skin health and beauty further. I am truly convinced with the products I got on hand for my own skin care regime, what about you?
