Much like how we\u2019re still trying to burn off the extra pounds and eat better, we\u2019re in the throes of giving our skin the recovery it deserves, so you can bet your bottom dollar we\u2019ve got some heavy hitting <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/organic-beauty-stores-in-singapore-where-to-buy-all-natural-cosmetic-and-skincare-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skin care products<\/a> in this list. <\/p>\n<p>But more than just regenerative skincare, the start of the year is always the best time to break out of that beauty rut. That matte nude lippie you wear everyday?

I\u2019m a huge fan of essences as they contain some of the most potent ingredients in a lightweight formula. One I\u2019ve recently added to my skincare wardrobe is the Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence. I\u2019m the first person to express my dislike for kombucha, but I love it on my face. Fermented with sweet black tea and two microorganisms, the essence fights the effects of pollution and contains powerful antioxidants. I\u2019ve used this for three weeks now, and my skin looks a little more luminous and always feels hydrated.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2013 Nafeesa, Style Editor<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fresh.com\/US\/toners\/black-tea-kombucha-facial-treatment-essence\/H00004384.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">$108<\/a>, available at Fresh boutiques in ION Orchard and Raffles City and Sephora<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Heritage Products Rose Petals Rosewater<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_159582\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-159582\" style=\"width: 425px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-159582 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/Heritage-store-rose-petals-rosewater-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Heritage Store Rose Petals Rosewater \" width=\"425\" height=\"425\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/Heritage-store-rose-petals-rosewater-1-1.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/Heritage-store-rose-petals-rosewater-1-1.jpg 150w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/Heritage-store-rose-petals-rosewater-1-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/Heritage-store-rose-petals-rosewater-1-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/Heritage-store-rose-petals-rosewater-1-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/Heritage-store-rose-petals-rosewater-1-1.jpg 120w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 425px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 425\/425;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-159582\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our Lifestyle Writer Delfina swears by this to soothe her skin.
