My all-time favourite moisturisers

I have always considered myself lucky when it comes to skincare as I never had any preference and the reason being I have tried various different products ranging from the 'cheap-as-chips' ones to the 'ouch-did-I-just-break-the-bank-on-a-tiny-bottle' ones. I never once felt or saw the difference until my encounter with Sisley's All Day All Year and my absolute essential - Night Complex!

If truth to be told, I didn't eve think All Day All Year was all that the first time I used it and didn't get the hype until recently. My skin gets incredibly dry during winter time and whenever I am in Taipei, my T-zone gets oily and it doesn't matter what moisturiser I use, I have to slather a thick layer during winter and switch to a lighter weight version in the summer if I am in Taipei. However, I realised that I don't have to do that with this baby! It does what it says, one pump is more than enough to cover the whole face plus the throat and it absorbs perfectly! I have been in Taipei for over a week now and it does the trick! This time, I don't have to buy a light-weigh moisturiser. 


Also, here are the two more reasons why I heart this product:
  • Anti-UVA and UVB shield: 90% of UVB and UVA rays are blocked by a complex of micro-encapsulated filters which, without penetrating into the skin, safely protect it for 8 hours. 
  • Anti-free radical / anti-stress shield: The joint use of Apple Skin extract (anti-free radical) and White Willow extract (stimulates the production of anti-stress proteins), helps to protect the cells against environment-induced stress.
So in just one pumps, it does all of the above AND more! It's perfect for a lazy person like me! 

Oh and I can't live without the Nigh Complex. My skin got really dry and coarse after giving birth. Yes COARSE, as a piece of sandpaper! I didn't have it with me at confinement centre so the day I got home, I used it for the first ten days and it worked like a miracle! My skin was back to my normal condition the second day I used it. I loved it anyway but didn't expect it to work so well! 


I thought the two products were rather pricey but then with All Day All Year, it lasts around 6 months and so does Night Complex since you only use it for 10 consecutive days every month.  Therefore they actually work out not that expensive and consider the benefits you get, they are well worth it! Well, so I tell myself and I am sure that's the excuse we women use as surely we somehow have to justify our spending AND convincing ourselves! lol

I will be back for more of my favourite skincare!
