Seoul Fashion Week SS19 has just begun and besides planning the coolest outfits for the five day long event, achieving a flawless, radiant complexion is a must too. Here, we get Singapore fashion It girls and beauty junkies Savina Chai and Nicole Wong, to share their skincare must-haves for one of the biggest fashion weeks in Asia.

“My holy grail to glowing skin (no highlighter needed)! I’ve been using this twice a day for the past two years. I keep this in the mini bar in hotels, soak cotton pads and use them as eye masks before important events.”
“The secret to natural-looking skin is to skip liquid foundation and use a sheer, minimum coverage BB cushion. I use Hera’s Mist UV that combines SPF properties and a velvety texture.”
“I break out just before ‘the time of the month’ and when extremely stressed. I need to bring this cleanser when I travel because it contains sulfur that reduces blemishes and unclog pores. “
“It took me years to find a strong acne solution that reduces the size of pimples overnight. This is my solution, you’re welcome! It is magic.”
“An everyday serum that works well and keeps your skin healthy is vitamin C. This is my go-to serum that I travel with and supplies your skin with vitamins.”
“This fragrances hits home and is a source of comfort when I travel for work. The scent is refreshing and reminds me of daybreak, my favourite time of the day.”
“Applying skincare is not enough for good skin, I take flaxseed oil capsules daily as it helps reduce inflammation, offers healthy omega fatty acids and improves skin health.”
“I can’t do without a good eye serum. This one from Chanel helps to depuff my eyes, lighten my eye bags when I’m sleep deprived without clogging the delicate skin of my eyes.”
“The air can get polluted overseas, I use Foreo Mini Luna to exfoliate my skin every night before I start my skincare routine.”
“Due to luggage weight capacity, I can only carry 2 lipsticks with me. One is my go-to nude shade, ‘Modern’ from Chanel. This long-lasting colour suits all my outfits and makeup looks.”

“This is my favourite go-to cleanser as it has a creamy texture that feels really luxurious and is gentle on my skin too.”
“Cushion makeup is super convenient and great for travelling. The Hera Black Cushion is my favourite as it has buildable coverage and works great no matter the weather.”
“My must-have for the colder seasons, this night oil really helps to hydrate and impart a luminous glow to my skin while I snooze. It also helps to refuel my complexion so I am prepped for makeup application the morning after.”
“I always carry a good hand cream around and I really love this Chanel one as it is fast-absorbing and does not leave a sticky feeling after.”
“Not only does this hydrate my skin, it also promotes skin regeneration, removes dead skin cells and features anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits. It really is my favourite cream for every day.”
