Recently, I had the pleasure of attending the official launch of Lipidol – a new skincare range by the people that brought you Bio Oil, Justin and David Letschert. Instead of expanding the best-selling Bio Oil, they decided to come up with an entire new skincare line up that is oil based and helps keep moisture in our skin.
Skin regenerates itself and in order to do that it needs moisture. What we don’t realize is that the number one thing that strips away our body’s natural moisture is water. By taking a shower everyday, we are actually drying out our skin more and more. If you think that moisturizing with lotion will do the trick then you’re wrong because 90% of what makes up a body cream is water. So, how to we retain the natural oily moisture that our skin produces without stripping it away with daily showers?
That’s where Lipidol comes in. The brand’s range consists of six different products – 4 are designed to soak into and be left on the skin, and the other 2 are for cleansing. To keep you skin’s natural oily layer but still remove the everyday dirt or makeup, you can use the Cleasing Face Oil and Cleansing Body Oil. To add on extra moisture to your skin after a nice shower, just apply the After Shower Oil.
If you’re about to spend a day in the sun, you can easily apply the Sunscreen Oil that has an SPF 20. Designed for the man with its masculine scent and oil colour, the After Shave Oil is perfect to use after daily grooming. And of course, the best one out of the entire range is the Overnight Face Oil. Designed for a soothing and relaxing feel, this oil will repair your skin as you get a good night sleep.
Lipidol is exclusively available at all Guardian outlets and each product retails at RM24.90.
