It works to stimulate skin rejuvenation through engaging the right receptors responsible for anti-inflammation and promoting healing, and also activating the pathway to boost your skin&#8217;s recovery and resilience. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Scientific jargon aside, it truly works within your deeper skin layers to repair damaged DNA at the cellular level - in short, &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/surprising-causes-aging-skin-212634.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#article#item=1&#34;&#62;fighting the signs of ageing right at its roots. &#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Being an enthusiastic dabbler of facials and all things new in beauty, I was keen to go give it a try - in the name and pursuit of healthy, glowing skin.&#160;Now available at SW1 clinic, the latest brainchild of renowned aesthetic doctor Dr. Low Chai Ling (who also previously helmed the Sloane Clinic), the PDRN Cellular Facial harnesses the benefits of PDRN to stimulate cellular regeneration and boost skin recovery to &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/makeup/10-dewy-highlighters-perfect-for-mature-skin-301836.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;achieve that coveted glow&#60;/a&#62;.&#160;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Who is it for?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Chatting with the SW1 team prior to my facial, they shared that the PDRN Cellular Facial is targeted and designed for &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/on-my-plate/healthy-eating/10-foods-avoid-30s-281900.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;women in their mid-thirties&#60;/a&#62; and up - or basically anyone with visible signs of ageing looking to fight those signs. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Granted, considering I&#8217;m still in my mid-twenties, I don&#8217;t necessarily have any distinguishable wrinkles or fine lines (at least on the surface level, anyway). But I knew that my years of complacency with SPF and a healthy skin care routine must have left a mark on deeper dermis or cellular levels - and I was committed to repairing them!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;The PDRN Facial Experience&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;The 9-step session starts with a deep cleansing to rid your skin of impurities and dead cells. But first, a cold, numbing cream is applied for 2 to 3 minutes. Once the numbing cream has set, the aesthetician exfoliated my skin with their in-house Gold Flakes Scrub to slough away any dead skin, allowing for better penetration of PDRN&#8217;s skin-loving benefits. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;After exfoliation, the skin-healing molecules of PDRN is applied to the face with a derma roller (used only once for each client for hygiene reasons). What follows next is sonophoresis (or sound wave therapy), which is key in driving and infusing all the vital nutrients into your deeper dermis layers, as well as&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/beauty-trends/what-is-gua-sha-traditional-chinese-massage-daily-routine-319102.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; promoting a more lifted, youthful-looking skin.&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Next, my skin was treated to both the White Plasma and Vitamin C powder which is touted to help brighten the skin. Following that, the ultra-luxe 24K Gold Mask, designed to fight the signs of ageing by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, was applied to my skin and left it looking firmer, smoother and more luminous. Lastly, a layer of moisturiser was applied to my skin, which the aesthetician will select depending on your skin type.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;VERDICT&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Now, I&#8217;m certainly no novice to the world of facials - I&#8217;ve tried many, loved some; been disappointed by some. While some facials leave your skin looking and feeling great immediately after the session, the benefits admittedly don&#8217;t last past the next day. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Not with this one, though. Not only did my skin look genuinely healthy and glowing post-treatment, I can genuinely vouch for how it&#8217;s truly rebooted my skin from within on a deeper level since. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Which is why when you&#8217;re looking for a great, non-invasive, effective and skin-boosting supercharge, the PDRN Cellular Facial Treatment at SW1 certainly comes highly recommended. &#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;SWI Clinic is located at Paragon Shopping Center, 290 Orchard Road #13-01 to 06. The PDRN Cellular Facial Treatment (75 minutes) is now available at SW1 Clinic at SGD481.50.&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photo: Getty Images&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;READ MORE:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/tried-and-tested/15-degrees-cryotherapy-facial-heres-how-it-went-311449.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;We tried a -15 degree Celsius cryotherapy facial &#8211; here&#8217;s what happened&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/beauty-trends/unique-facial-singapore-261836.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;10 Weird &#38;amp; exotic facial treatments that will definitely pique your interest&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/signs-facial-not-suitable-skin-236702.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Facial Footnotes: 3 Signs your facial is not suitable for your skin&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/whats-new-hk/beauty-news-hk/gave-sw1-pdrn-cellular-facial-go-332411.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/whats-new-hk/beauty-news-hk/gave-sw1-pdrn-cellular-facial-go-332411.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-322512&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; itemprop=&#34;thumbnailUrl&#34; class=&#34;alignnone wp-image-322512 img-responsive  size-full&#34; src=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/07/supergoop.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;960&#34; height=&#34;540&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;It&#039;s hard to remember a time of sunscreen use before Supergoop. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Making sun protection fun and appealing once seemed like an incongruent idea (after all, who remembers the day of thick and greasy layers of heavy-duty sunblock?). But the cruelty-free US-based cult skincare-meets-sunscreen brand has managed to achieve exactly that.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;Supergoop!, which calls to mind sunny days as a child playing with goop (is even that a word?), is arguably single-handedly responsible for creating a new generation of sun protection for every skin type, lifestyle and preferred finish - so that there is absolutely no excuse for you to &#60;em&#62;not&#60;/em&#62; wear sun screen.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Case in point: there&#8217;s the Unseen Sunscreen (which virtually literally disappears into nothing on even the deepest of skin tones), the soon-to-be-launched 100% Matte Mineral primer which not only offers a broad spectrum protection but both mattifies and blurs your skin) mattifying primer, the Glow Stick Sunscreen with SPF50, an ultra-hydrating non-greasy dry oil that is perfect for travel, and more.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Its Philosophy: Making SPF a lifestyle choice&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-322800&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;alignnone wp-image-322800 img-responsive  size-large&#34; src=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/07/supergooplipscreen-1-1024x683.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;1024&#34; height=&#34;683&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Founded by former third-grade teacher Holly Thaggard, the brand has a personal backstory. After a close friend went through a skin-cancer care, Thaggard made it a mission to design products that made sun protection a lifestyle choice so second-nature it was part of your daily routine.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;Its philosophy to weave in sun protection into all its products is evident in all its launches - there&#8217;s SPF eye creams, face mists, primers, and even a beautiful glow oil - which ensures you&#8217;re constantly protected throughout the day without even thinking about it. &#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;The #1 reason why people skip sunscreen - and how Supergoop! is changing that&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#8220;I&#8217;ve heard every reason why people skip sunscreen,&#8221; Amanda Baldwin, President of Supergoop! shares. &#8220;They hate the texture, the thick formula, the white cast.&#8221; According to her, an astounding 80% of Americans skip sunscreen - this in spite of growing awareness of the harmful effects of the sun.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#34;Sunscreen used to be seen as a chore, or something that you did before beach days,&#34; she shares. But the brand&#039;s mission is to constantly create and develop everyday products with SPF in it so that no matter what you&#8217;re doing, you&#8217;re constantly protected from the sun. &#8220;We want to to be a lifestyle choice, which is why we&#8217;ve chosen fun packaging - even our brand&#160;name is meant to be fun and approachable.&#8221;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#34;What we focus on for every product is finding the right texture. It&#039;s actually great for us to have since launched in Asia (which is our first international venture outside of the U.S.) because the innovations in Asia are great for perfecting that lightweight finish.&#34;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;DIFFERENT WAYS TO INCLUDE SPF IN YOUR ROUTINE: ON YOUR SCALP AND EYELIDS?!&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#8220;Holly (the brand&#8217;s founder) is so passionate about SPF, and constantly expanding on how we can include it in our daily routine,&#8221; she shares. &#8220;She actually uses up to 25 SPF products on her face!&#8221; &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;And this conviction in the importance of sun protection has seeped into everything the brand launches, which have since also expanded to include suncare-meet-skincare and even makeup. There&#8217;s an anti-aging eye cream with SPF37 (who knew you needed SPF on your eyes?!), a mattifying makeup mist with SPF50 (which you can re-apply throughout the day to keep your visage fresh, matte and protected), and even a beautiful SPF-infused face oil that makes for the perfect all-over face glow.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-322796&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;alignnone wp-image-322796 img-responsive  size-large&#34; src=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/07/supergoopmousse-e1532681890506-1024x819.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;1024&#34; height=&#34;819&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Clean Ingredients Only&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62;  &#60;p&#62;They&#039;re forever tinkering with the products as well. &#34;We&#039;ve changed the Everyday Sunscreen seven times since we first launched in 10 years ago&#8230; which is not typical of skincare or beauty brands,&#8221; says Amanda. It&#8217;s certainly unusual for beauty brands, who typically dabble in re-launches as a way to reinvigorate interest in their signature products. &#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;The reason? &#34;We&#039;re constantly looking at ways to make our products contain the cleanest ingredients possible, and our research lab is always experimenting with new developments in this direction.&#8221;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;Clean beauty is certainly a trend that Amanda is personally optimistic about. &#8220;I love the wave of clean beauty in the industry, and that&#8217;s exactly where we&#160;want to take Supergoop! to.&#8221;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;The Biggest Misconceptions About Sunscreen&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#8220;There are so many - from people with deeper complexions thinking they can get away without SPF, to the assumption that the higher the SPF, the more protection you&#8217;re getting.&#8221;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;Although consumers are now more discerning about the skincare they use, she concedes that there are still misconceptions. For one, we are not supposed to assume that there is a high protection equals efficiency. According to Amanda, the efficiency of SPF is asymptotic.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#8220;There is a huge difference between SPF15 - which incidentally, is not enough if that&#8217;s all you&#8217;re relying on in your foundations or CC creams - and SPF30. But beyond SPF50, a product&#8217;s efficacy starts to dip. If you find a product boasting of an SPF higher than that, it&#8217;s likely it&#8217;s only a marketing effort.&#8221;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;What&#8217;s Next on the Pipeline For Supergoop!&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-322794&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;alignnone wp-image-322794 img-responsive  size-large&#34; src=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/07/supergoop2-1024x819.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;1024&#34; height=&#34;819&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;True to its roots, Supergoop! has been partnering with elementary schools across the U.S. to educate children on the importance of sun care, and are in the works of developing more kid-friendly products, according to Amanda.&#160; They&#8217;re also experimenting with different ways to protect the skin from other aggressors, like pollutants and blue light. &#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;Its CC cream was received by raving responses, and so was its setting mists. When asked if Supergoop! had any new beauty launches in the pipeline, Amanda smiled and said, &#34;We&#039;ll see.&#34; A new blush or lipsticks with SPF, perhaps? We&#039;ll definitely put our money on that one.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;Supergoop! is definitely on track to become almost synonymous with sun protection, with finishes in a diverse array of finishes - watch this space for more SPF goodness!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photos: Supergoop&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/whats-new-hk/beauty-news-hk/interview-president-supergoop-cult-sunscreen-brand-changing-way-think-spf-332414.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/whats-new-hk/beauty-news-hk/interview-president-supergoop-cult-sunscreen-brand-changing-way-think-spf-332414.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

Fine powders from pearls, diamonds, and quartz also make for great highlighters, as they reflect light and give natural radiance to the skin.

And then you have &#60;strong&#62;Luna&#60;/strong&#62;, her &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/skincare/5-k-beauty-facial-oils-swear-292266.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;retinol-infused overnight sleeping oil,&#60;/a&#62; which works its magic on your skin as you sleep, leaving you to wake up with visibly luminous skin in the morning.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;We admit: her prices are steep - but for good reason. Sunday Riley, the brand formulator herself, is a cosmetic chemist and product formulater who beyond everything impresses upon the effectiveness of product formulations.&#60;/p&#62;    &#60;p&#62;We can wax lyrics about everything, from its potent formula to the refreshing creative concepts behind each product. Check out her bestselling products in the gallery above!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Now that she&#039;s landed on our shores, just take all our money already.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sunday Riley is now available in all Sephora Singapore stores.&#160;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photos: Sunday Riley&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;READ MORE:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/skincare/j-beauty-guide-10-cult-japanese-beauty-brands-you-can-find-in-singapore-309679.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;New in J-Beauty: 11 Cult Japanese beauty brands you can now find in Singapore&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/skincare/age-rewind-best-retinol-creams-270713.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Age Rewind: The 9 Best retinol creams that will transform your skin&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/makeup/10-dewy-highlighters-perfect-for-mature-skin-301836.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Natural Glow: 10 Dewy highlighters we love on mature skin&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;   &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/whats-new-hk/beauty-news-hk/this-cult-skincare-brand-is-now-available-in-singapore-332494.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/whats-new-hk/beauty-news-hk/this-cult-skincare-brand-is-now-available-in-singapore-332494.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		What is 'jagua body art'? We sat down with See Min from Henndrawn, who is pioneering jagua body art Singapore<media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>												
								<content:encoded><![CDATA[ &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/healthy-practices/wellbeing-tips/8-important-questions-tattoo-249207.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Tattoos&#60;/a&#62;. At some point in our life, we&#039;ve all toyed with the idea of getting this beautiful art etched onto our skin.&#160;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Unfortunately, there are &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/career-advice/expert-advice-career-advice/work-professional-tattoo-237879.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;some downsides to getting a permanent tattoo&#60;/a&#62;: social stigma in Asian culture; taking that big leap of faith of getting something permanently etched; pain and needles, just to name a few. But did you know that now you can get nearly the exact same kind of art without &#60;em&#62;technically&#60;/em&#62; getting one right here in Singapore?&#160;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Say hello to &#60;strong&#62;Jagua body art&#60;/strong&#62; - body art created from the blue juice of the jagua fruit. The result? A non-permanent tattoo &#60;em&#62;that looks exactly like one&#60;/em&#62;. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;From fierce wolves to delicate flowers (and get this: even a portrait of the late Lee Kuan Yew!), See Min, the artist behind the Singapore-based &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/singapore-events/not-usual-travel-guide-10-alternative-experiences-try-singapore-316290.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=3&#34;&#62;Henndrawn&#60;/a&#62;, uses jagua body art to let her clients experience the fun of getting a tattoo without the pain and permanence.&#160;We sat down with See Min to get a glimpse into what exactly jagua body art entails, and her journey of becoming the pioneer of jagua art in Singapore. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Note: Answers have been slightly edited for clarity.&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: Tell us a little bit about yourself. How and why did you get yourself into the art of professional inking?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;See Min: Since I was young, art has always been a way for me to escape from academics. I started body art as a side hobby; I had never intended Henndrawn to be a full-blown business. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;I first got into body art myself when I got my henna done. I really liked it, and I realized that perhaps if I did it myself, then I wouldn&#8217;t have to spend so much money on it. I started sharing my designs on my personal Instagram, and as my art spread via word of mouth, people started to engage me in job offers. It was only when I booked my first corporate event offer that I realized that perhaps Henndrawn could actually become a brand.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-320260&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; itemprop=&#34;thumbnailUrl&#34; class=&#34;alignnone wp-image-320260 img-responsive  size-large&#34; src=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/07/img_3685-1024x683.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;1024&#34; height=&#34;683&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photo: Henndrawn&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: Tell us about the brand Henndrawn. How did this journey of pioneering jagua body art in Singapore begin for you?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;See Min: I started Henndrawn when I was in my first year at university. In the beginning, I couldn&#8217;t do it full time as I was juggling my hectic college life, and my part-time jobs as a waitress and a tuition teacher.&#160;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;I started using jagua because I started to want to replicate tattoos the best I could. My mother did not allow me to get tattoos, so I started using jagua as a way to be tattooed without technically defying her wishes. I first tried to mimic tattoos with the henna I had at hand, but it just wasn&#8217;t what I wanted: the colour was off, and I could not shade or do very complicated designs. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;I found out about jagua online. Even though I knew almost nothing about it initially, I imported the ink, and from there, worked hard to make sure that all my jagua designs resembled tattoos as closely as possible. I am proud to be the first few in the world to use jagua specifically to imitate tattoos. Basically, Henndrawn is really what I myself need, and what I wished I had growing up. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: What exactly is jagua body art? What are the materials you use, and how do you apply it to your customers&#8217; skins? &#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;See Min: Jagua body art is traditional body art created from the jagua gel, a gel made out of pasteurized jagua juice from the jagua fruit. The fruit, called &#60;em&#62;Genipa americana&#60;/em&#62;, is native to South America, and I import it from an online distributor who actually goes to the forest himself to pick the fruits. After I buy the gel, I repackage it into small triangular cones (similar to the ones used to apply henna), and I apply it by squeezing the gel onto my customers&#8217; skins. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: What is the difference between henna and jagua?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;See Min: They are two essentially very different things because they are made from very different ingredients. Henna is made from the leaves of the henna plant, and the paste is made from the crushed powder of the leaves, which is then mixed with essential oils, water, and lemon juice. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Jagua is different. The gel is made from the juice of the jagua plant, essential oils, and xanthan gum. This also means that the two have very different consistencies. Because jagua is a translucent gel, it&#039;s possible to achieve more tones in gradient shading. You cannot do that with Henna because it is a thick paste. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;There is also a big difference in the color. Henna stains your skin a reddish brown or brownish green, while jagua stains it a tattoo blue or blue-black. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: Why did you choose to do jagua body art instead of professional tattooing?&#160;&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;See Min: I&#8217;d actually always wanted to be a tattoo artist. Because I had never taken proper art classes before, I had always thought that I was not qualified or good enough. Which is why I&#039;ve never dared to ask any tattoo artist to let me shadow them.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Even though I am more confident in my skills now, I haven&#039;t switched to tattooing because as a pioneer of jagua body art in Singapore, I feel like I am responsible for this industry and nurture artists. So that perhaps one day, there will be artists who can put their own style and spin onto jagua art, just like in the tattoo industry.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: Why should people choose jagua body art over tattooing? &#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;See Min: I have no qualms about people choosing tattoos over jagua body art. My target audience is people who are afraid to go for the real thing. Some of my clients come to me to &#8220;try out&#8221; a design before they go for a permanent tattoo, and others come to my service so that they can get something new every time. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;I was actually speaking to a friend who is also a professional tattooist, and we realized that there is no direct competition between jagua and tattoo artists because we serve completely different audiences. People who get tattoos have a different appreciation for the art -- they appreciate the beauty of the pain and the permanence, but for jagua, it is all about having fun! &#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: What is the most fulfilling experience you&#8217;ve had as a body artist?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;See Min:&#160;I once did jagua body art on a woman who had a mastectomy. I will never know fully how my work affected her, but I realized that I was part of the healing process for my client and that my work could do so much. I also found out that after our appointment, she decided to get a real tattoo. I was able to make an impact, and for that, my job is done.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: Talk about your vision of destigmatizing body art.&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;See Min: My vision of destigmatizing body art in Singapore through Henndrawn came a little later. After speaking with my clients, I realized that many people in Singapore face the dilemma same dilemma that I did: of wanting a tattoo, but not being able to because of underlying social stigma faced at work or in their personal lives. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;One day, I thought to myself: &#8220;What if everyone was walking around in jagua tattoos? Would the stigma still be there?&#8221; Nobody would be able to differentiate a fake tattoo from a real one. It is still my dream that I could contribute to the destigmatization of body art, both fake and real. &#160;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: It seems like you are very active on your social media and even do personal shout-outs and replies to Instagram DMs yourself. What is your relationship with your customers?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;See Min: Henndrawn is very much me in the sense that I&#8217;m the one behind the Instagram account and I&#8217;m the one who, most of the time, takes clients. I am able to get to know my clients very closely through our conversations while I do my art, and in fact, a lot of them actually eventually become my personal friends. My relationship with my clients and my Instagram followers is quite special and personal, and I appreciate the fact that they like me for my art and not for other superficial reasons. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: What are some long and short-term goals you have for Henndrawn?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;See Min:&#160;One short-term goal I&#8217;ve been working on is to get Henndrawn to work at Coachella! I already shot the photos for it, all I need to do now is to craft and send the media kit to them and beg them to fly us out California.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;As part of my dream of destigmatizing body art in Singapore, I have started teaching jagua body art in workshop classes so that other artists can start up their own studios or hobbies. Right now, I&#8217;m starting to have my artists hold appointments without me so that I can take a step back and focus on teaching and working to expand Henndrawn instead.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;You can book a slot for an appointment with Henndrawn &#60;a href=&#34;https://henndrawn.com/verlocal-booking/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;here&#60;/a&#62;, and check out her designs on Instagram at &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/henn.drawn/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;@henn.drawn&#60;/a&#62;.&#60;/em&#62; &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Kanako Sugawara&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;READ MORE:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/singapore-events/not-usual-travel-guide-10-alternative-experiences-try-singapore-316290.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;Not Your Usual Travel Guide: 10 Alternative experiences to try in Singapore&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/career-advice/expert-advice-career-advice/work-professional-tattoo-237879.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;Ink 101: 5 Things to consider as a working professional before you get a tattoo&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/healthy-practices/wellbeing-tips/8-important-questions-tattoo-249207.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;8 Important questions to ask yourself before you get a tattoo&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/whats-new-hk/beauty-trends-hk/fruit-juice-tattoos-discovering-art-jagua-henna-tattoos-henndrawn-332502.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/whats-new-hk/beauty-trends-hk/fruit-juice-tattoos-discovering-art-jagua-henna-tattoos-henndrawn-332502.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

In the video, titled &#34;&#60;em&#62;Make-Up Tutorial Video with a Bit of a Twist&#60;/em&#62;&#34;, Lynch explained how cruelty-free makeup is still sometimes tested on animals. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Get this: she even &#8220;went under&#8221; the same tests that&#160;animals living in a lab undergo - like having faux skin-burning chemicals smeared on her face, and being &#8220;force-fed&#8221; a sludge-like substance. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Lynch has also revealed that the project will be a collaboration with a fairly under-the-radar brand, so watch this space for more updates!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Kanako Sugawara&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photo: Getty Images&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;READ MORE:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/cruelty-free-korean-beauty-brands-277470.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;Ethical Brands: 6 Cruelty-free Korean beauty brands to know&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/10-vegan-lipsticks-pretty-pout-252613.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;Cruelty-free Colours: 10 Vegan lipsticks to pretty your pout&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/cruelty-free-beauty-products-10456.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;10 Cruelty-free beauty brands&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;   &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/whats-new-hk/beauty-news-hk/harry-potter-star-evanna-lynch-announces-launch-332504.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/whats-new-hk/beauty-news-hk/harry-potter-star-evanna-lynch-announces-launch-332504.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

It&#039;s a multi-miracle worker: it helps reduce inflammation, increase blood flow and stimulate your&#160;body&#039;s lymphatic system, which in turn heals the body from within. Not only that, it&#039;s also able to relieve everything from migraines and muscle tension to coughs and urinary tract diseases.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Wait - a Gua Sha Massage?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;In Singapore, you&#039;ll find spas, &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/natural-healing/pins-needles-5-health-benefits-acupuncture-103535.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;acupuncturists and TCM practitioners&#60;/a&#62; offering Gua sha massage. During these sessions, a tool is used to apply medium to intense pressure all over a person&#039;s back, neck, arms and legs, devoting attention to areas that need more attention. Be warned: much like cupping, the results aren&#039;t pretty - the friction from the repeated strokes results in rather daunting looking bruises that can last days after treatment.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Gua Sha in Skincare?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;In beauty and skin care, the classic Gua sha technique is recreated - but in a gentler way. &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.vogue.co.uk/article/gua-sha-skincare-benefits?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;According to Vogue UK,&#60;/a&#62; you can incorporate this massage technique on your face with a Gua sha tool for just a minute each day - a doable and non-committal step to include in your daily morning or evening routine. Its wisdom is simple: rather than applying a cream or serum to improve your skin from the outside, you&#8217;re activating your body to nourish your skin from within.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Get this: studies have revealed that practising Gua sha on the skin every day&#60;strong&#62; &#34;improves microcirculation by up to 400%, &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/beauty-trends/5-non-surgical-beauty-trends-2018-want-know-303751.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;reduces wrinkles, rejuvenates, tones and smooths skin,&#60;/a&#62; boosts collagen, combats pigmentation, dark circles and puffy eyes, defines jawline and even decongests the sinuses.&#34;&#60;/strong&#62; Talk about a multi-performer.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-319115&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;alignnone wp-image-319115 img-responsive  size-large&#34; src=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/07/hayou_guasha-1024x683.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;1024&#34; height=&#34;683&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;The Perfect Morning &#38;amp; Evening Ritual&#160;&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;The beauty of gua sha is that you don&#039;t necessarily have to fork out the dollars to reap its benefits. After all, Gua sha is traditionally practised at home.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The best Gua sha tool is, of course, one that is made of jade. It looks pretty for the dresser, and if you&#039;ve &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/8-quirky-asian-beauty-secrets-269656.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;ever tried a jade roller before&#60;/a&#62;, you&#039;d know its cooling properties make for a delightful pick-me-up on the skin. To allow the stone to glide easier on your skin, smooth on a layer of facial oil. If you&#039;re unsure on the right way to apply the pressure on your, there are simple easy-to-follow guides by the likes of &#60;a href=&#34;https://hayoumethod.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;UK-based Hayo&#039;u&#60;/a&#62;, and more.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;At the core of traditional Chinese medicine is the idea of self-care. The benefits of Gua sha aside, the very habit of taking a minute out of your routine to do something for yourself is an incredibly healing and rewarding ritual in itself.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Sold yet?&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photos: Getty Images (header), Hayo&#039;u (body)&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;READ MORE:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/natural-healing/alternative-medicine/new-age-therapies-to-try-in-singapore-287915.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;Reiki, Crystal Healing &#38;amp; More: 7 new age healing therapies to try in Singapore&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/natural-healing/alternative-medicine/acupuncture-how-traditional-chinese-medicine-can-help-boost-fertility-308000.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Fertility Talk: Can acupuncture boost your chances of pregnancy?&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/tried-and-tested/15-degrees-cryotherapy-facial-heres-how-it-went-311449.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;We tried a -15 degree Celsius cryotherapy facial &#8211; here&#8217;s what happened&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/whats-new-hk/beauty-trends-hk/what-is-gua-sha-traditional-chinese-massage-daily-routine-332540.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/whats-new-hk/beauty-trends-hk/what-is-gua-sha-traditional-chinese-massage-daily-routine-332540.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>
