Whether you’re sipping your Pina Colada on Tanjong Beach Club or at a resort in the Maldives, you’d want to read our special feature, […]
In Pursuit Of Korean Eyebrows
I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with my eyebrows. First of all, I was cursed with scanty eyebrows (just part of my genetic Chinese blood) – I look like one of those people who had half their brows shaven when they were drunk by friends, except that mine was all-natural! Then, the waif and Kate […]
Pedicure – Cure Your Feet
When most people think of pedicures, a gamut of nail colours and even some fancy nail art comes to mind. Who would pay close to $200 for a pedicure and walk away with bare naked nails? That is the mindset foot virtuoso, Bastien Gonzalez aims to change with his global and fast expanding chain of […]
Aesthetics & Beauty January 2014 – out now!
I finally did it! Let me backtrack a little here…since I started working at Aesthetics & Beauty three years ago, I have never shied away from trying all kinds of new-fangled beauty treatments. However, I have always resisted injectables. Somehow, that seemed to me, invasive and I felt that I did not need that for […]

Soothe Sensitive Skin

Bye Bye Belly
Liposonix uses high-intensity targeted ultrasound energy to whittle your not-so-lovely love handles. One of the signs of aging for males (and females) is an expanding waistline and potbelly. This is usually inevitable in our sedentary lifestyle where food and entertainment takes precedence over exercise. Even the diligent ones who work out regularly will have to […]

Sci-fi worthy treatments that deliver results!
We have come a long way since milk and honey baths used by ancient Egyptians. These days, we have lasers to zap wrinkles and hair, ultrasound to melt fat and radiofrequency to get rid of cellulite. In fact, a degree in Science (thank goodness I scored A1 for Science) is required to comprehend all these […]
GentleMAX – The Ouch-free Brazilian Laser
We all desire to have skin as smooth as a baby’s bottom, even down in our nether regions. GentleMAX by Candela may be the answer you’re looking for! I’d like to think that I’m a veteran when it comes to Brazilian hair removal – waxing, IPL, facial, I’ve tried them all. For someone covered with […]
