Anti-aging 101 Beauty Talkshow by 牛尔老师 Niu Er

Last month, I attended Anti-aging 101 Beauty Talkshow by 牛尔老师 Niu Er (thanks OMY). It was held at CHIJMES Hall. The main objective of this event was to introduce Kose's latest anti-aging range - Infinity Prestigious, designed specially for matured skin. Through this event, I learnt several skincare tips and massage techniques that help improve skin tone, texture and firmness.

At the start of the event, Niu Er shook everyone's hand as usual. A few lucky ones got to hug him, not me though.

For the record, he's 45 this year. Hmm... he looks younger than he was back in 2010. Well, credits to his 60mins daily morning run and healthy diet (mainly fruits and vegetables). He was telling us that he makes his very own fresh soy milk from scratch (grinds soybeans), and drinks it every morning. Apart from soy milk, he loves fresh cold-pressed fruit/veg juices AND plain water.

You are what you eat/drink. WORD.

It is literally full house with 95% ladies! Can you spot me? :P

Niu Er talked about work stress' impact on the skin - how the face looks at 10am (work start) and 5pm (work end). The greatest impact can be seen on Monday VS Friday when the skin looks fresh and radiant (Mon), then gradually becomes dull and saggy (Fri) after days of work. SAG-SAD.

Other causes of skin aging includes: smoking, sun exposure, nutrition, hormones, inherited genes, etc.

Twins, but they look years apart. One is constantly exposed to the sun, while the other is not. That's why.

The older sis (pictured on the right) definitely looks much younger. SUNBLOCK IS A MUST!

He did a live demo, by using Kose skincare (step-by-step from cleansing to moisturizing) on only half of the face. The results were clear, with that half of the face visibly lifted and radiant. The participant was truly enjoying her facial moment. BLISS!

Hmm... I forgot her name. She's the Kose director if I'm not wrong? Anyway, my point is that she looks much younger than her real age (55 year old!). Fyi, she's using the new Infinity Prestigious range.

She introduced the new Infinity Prestigious range - Lotion ($153), Serum ($153) and Cream ($460). 

This range is recommended for those who are experiencing significant aging symptoms such as sagging of the entire outline of the face AND those (regardless of age) who want to care for visible aging symptoms immediately.

The main ingredients are psidium guava leaf extract (anti-aging), aloe barbadensis leaf extract (enhance skin rejuvenation), lavender extract (hydrate skin).

Kose Infinity Serum Prestigious

The serum has a rich texture, but doesn't leave any sticky feel after absorbed. It has this pleasant floral scent, so soothing!

Niu Er, demonstrating the massage techniques to counter laugh lines. With both hands in a L-shape manner, enclose your nose and mouth as if you wanna shout-out-loud. Glide upwards along the jawline, all the way till you reach the sides of your face. Best to do it alone since it's not umm... very glamorous :X

For face slimming AND reducing water retention on the face, massage the forehead using your fingers to "draw" M and reach your temples. Slide down the sides of face and neck. Then, press and massage deep on the inner of the collarbones.

This is another technique for reducing water retention. Starting from "lifting your chin" position, glide upwards from the chin all the way to the forehead. Then press on the temples.

That marks the end of the beauty talkshow - a (row-by-row) group photo. No individual photo with Niu Er... *sad face*

Here's the mini goodie bag, which consists of the Astringent Lotion, Lotion Prestigious and Tone Up Wash.

Sekkisei Lotion, which I won from answering a simple question. CLICK HERE to read my review.

Other tips I learnt during the beauty talkshow:

• Use cleansing cream to massage face (with makeup) for 3mins. Then place cling wrap on nose. Sebum and whiteheads will emerge due to heat. Wash off the cleansing cream. Use tweezer to remove whiteheads.
• To control oil sebum, use cotton pad soaked with astringent lotion to wipe face followed by the patting motion. If you have makeup on, blot off oil from face. Then use cotton pad soaked with astringent lotion to pat on face. Touch up your makeup.

That's all for now. Thank you for reading this rather lengthy post!
