“Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle.”
Erno Laszlo
I cannot agree more with Mr Erno on his take on beautiful
skin. It truly requires great commitment.
While some of us may be born with great skin by default, it takes effort to
maintain and retain those great genes. Those who aren’t so blessed require
greater commitments. But nothing is impossible; it is how much you desire.
I am one who commits much time in maintaining my skin. It
takes me about an hour to prepare myself for bed, showering, hair drying and
slathering all skin products needed. I may be born with blemish free skin but I
have my fair share of problems to deal with. Coping with dry skin took me much
time, effort and frustrations as well. I’ve tried countless products and have found
some great products. I do not stick to one brand because I believe different
products have different strengths and I use them according to my skin’s
behavior.
. CLEANSING .
I do not dismiss the possibility of finding greater products
in the market even though I already have products that work great for me. There
is always room for improvement.
Given the opportunity to try out a new skincare line is
something I would not let go but I do read up before I make the decision to try
or not to. The thing that convinced me immediately to try ERNO LASZLO’s products
even before reading any reviews is simply, AUDREY HEPBURN and MARILYN MONROE!
Erno Laszlo is the skincare brand that both stars patronized, that alone is
worth a shot!
I was invited to a Facial retreat at a
beautiful hotel and met the wonderful EL team that flew all the way from New
York to Sunny O Island, Singapore! EL has an extensive range of products that
targets different skin types. It has beautiful packaging as well! Premium
packaging I would say!
. HYDRATING .
During the facial EL therapist, Judit gave me a full
explanation on every step and product that she had picked for my routine. It
was such a relaxing session, I almost fell asleep, Judit sure has magic hands
really!
I have documented my EL routine into visuals, sectioning
them by Cleansing, hydrating, moisturizing and extra care. It is definitely a
longer routine as compared to the usual 3 steps routine most of us go through.
I am pretty used to long routines so it’s really not a problem for me at all. I
feel taking time to take care of your skin is not just a daily routine; it is
an overall physical and mental well-being.
. MOISTURISING .
Having tried Erno
Laszlo products for 2 weeks before I wrote this review is sufficient for me to
give some credible response based on my skin’s reaction towards the products.
I must say the
products produced a very different kind of texture; it is something that I have
not experienced before. I’ll begin with their Signature Soap Bar, I was given
two different Soap Bar cleansers, one for day and another for night.
I love the one for
night especially, after washing it leaves a thin film of moisture on my skin.
That being said, it is entirely different from being oily. To be honest, I was
really drawn to the pretty Soap bars but felt it was a little hassle as
compared to liquid form cleansers. However, the feeling of massaging a Soap bar
onto your face is kind of special, I don’t exactly know how to describe but for
me, it is worth the minor hassle.
. EXTRA CARE .
Here comes my
favorite product of the entire range! The Hydar-Theraphy Skin Vitality
treatment! It comes in a pack of 4 and would require a mixture of both the
powder and liquid. When applied, it gives off a cold and smooth texture.
Erno Laszlo does not
have a counter or store in Singapore and now you wonder where to get them?
