Maintaining our own skin and hair at home can be difficult especially when we’re used to professional spa services.
Whether you’re new to self-care, or a regular who likes their skin and hair perfect round the clock, here are the products to help you unwind and recreate a spa experience, in the comfort of your own home!
Caring Skin Soothing Hydra Masks: Hydration facials (suitable for sensitive skin!)

Caring Skin is one of Singapore’s top rated facial spas, with expertise in treating acne and sensitive skin using all-natural ingredients. Their facials are well-loved by many Singaporeans, evident in over 1,500 reviews on Facebook and Google, with a 4.9-star rating on both platforms.
While it’s not easy to replicate Caring Skin’s professional facials at home, those looking to add an extra dose of hydration to their skin can opt for their Soothing Hydra Mask to get some of the same benefits you can get from their facials.
One of Caring Skin’s bestsellers, the Soothing Hydra Masks have been raved about by beauty influencers such as Christabel Chua (@bellywellyjelly) and Lucinda Zhou (@lucindazhou) so you know you can trust their quality!
Aimed at boosting hydration, these masks immediately plump up your skin while nourishing it with plant-based antioxidants such as Pomegranate, Chrysanthemum Flower, Gingko Biloba and Cabbage Leaf Extracts. They also contain Niacinamide to help firm the skin, soften the look of fine lines and even out your complexion.
Formulated to be effective yet gentle on the skin, the Soothing Hydra Mask can be used on any skin type, but it is exceptionally beneficial for acne-prone, sensitive skin. If your skin has been breaking out from wearing protective masks for long hours, this is the sheet mask for you! This mask is also great at calming irritated, dry skin by giving it an instant boost of hydration.
Caring Skin Soothing Hydra Masks retail for SGD68 per box of 5 sheets, available on Caring Skin’s website.
