Guess Who Killed The Sun?

Sunkiller has finally decided to launch in Singapore! And, the products are already available in selected Watsons, John-Little, Meidi-Ya, BHG and Nishino pharmacies (:

PS: These perfect non-sticky sunscreens are selling like hotcakes in Japan!

Here's a pic with Herine before the event :D

Outfit of the day!

The event was held at Octa Hotel Cafe, an intimate and cosy boutique cafe located at Parco Marina Bay.

A Facebook campaign "Who Killed The Sun?" will be launched on 11 Oct 2013. The voting contest will end on 1 Nov 2013. Fans of Sunkiller Singapore will have to guess the 5 Sunkiller culprits (among the invited bloggers), with the help of clues found in the respective bloggers' blogposts.

So, read on... :D

Think of Sunkiller as the perfect sunscreen wardrobe.

Sunkiller does not offer just one generic sunscreen for every woman, regardless of their skin condition.

This Japanese suncare expert offers sunscreens with different skincare functions, including variants for sensitive skin, normal/dry skin, as well as for skin that needs power-packed UVA protection to fight aging. It also provides options whether you are out for outdoor/beach activities or when you simply prefer the feeling of light coverage.

Suncare meets skincare.

To nourish your skin while protecting it, Sunkiller boasts a string of high-performance ingredients like collagen, marine collagen, chamomile extract, aloe extract, hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C & E.

The 1st product that caught my fancy was the bright pink one, the only tinted sunscreen - BB Perfect Strong SPF50+ PA+++.

Flash Your Dazzling Smile and Healthy Pink Gums!

Do you remember the compulsory dental check-ups during your primary school days? I think I was one of the odd few who love visiting the dentist at that time. All kids are known to be scared of dental check-ups. Some will even start crying the moment their names are being called. For me, it's an excuse to skip class :P

Now, the problem is, we don't really pay much attention to our teeth AND gums as we age. We dread visiting the dentist coz it's like so expensive. Besides, our mentality is that it is not necessary at all. Well, I'm guilty as charged.

Like how we take care of our skin, maintaining healthy teeth and gums are super important, especially the latter. Gums are the foundation of healthy teeth. Once the gum tissues are damaged, it cannot be reversed!

By taking proper care of your gums, the chance of getting gum disease (infection) is lowered. You get better oral and general health, healthier and more beautiful smile.

Fyi, gum disease is a silent disease. You might not feel any pain at the initial stage.

Here are some of the signs of gum disease:-

• Gums bleed easily even with gentle brushing
• Red, swollen gums
• Persistent bad breath
• Gums that have pulled away from the teeth

In fact, according to Singapore Health Promotion Board Survey in 2003, 85% of Singaporean adults have some form of gum disease. Also to my horror, I learnt that gum disease is a social disease, which means it is infectious! It can be passed from parent to child, between couples, and friends... scary =.=

Besides, it also triggers other health ailments like:-

• Contribute to the development of heart disease
• Increase the risk of stroke
• Increase a woman’s risk of having pre-term births
• Pose a serious threat to people whose health is compromised by diabetes or respiratory diseases

To prevent gum disease or improve gum condition, practise good personal oral care by brushing your teeth thoroughly at least twice a day, cleaning in between your teeth daily, followed by mouth-rinsing containing anti-bacterial ingredients. Systema offers the complete gum care solution for healthy gums, healthy teeth and a healthier you.

PS: Having a balanced diet AND making regular visits to your dentist are a must too.
