Editor’s Letter

11 years ago, I joined The Singapore Women’s Weekly as Features Editor and quickly discovered what author and motivational speaker, Simon Sinek, meant when he said: “Find your why”. For seven years, I drove The Weekly’s annual Great Women of Our Time Awards, an editorial initiative that honours the achievements of the nation’s most inspiring women. Interacting with these amazing women from all walks of life opened my mind up to a myriad of perspectives and gave me firsthand insight that taught me to connect with people on a deeper level. I could not be more grateful for the many remarkable life lessons I’ve learned along the way. I’ve always felt fulfilled because my work has been driven by purpose. Authenticity and heart are hallmarks of The Weekly. It is…

Rewind The Time

The skin microbiome is an integral part of the skin’s surface, as its balance is essential to the overall appearance and health.

This best-selling anti-ageing serum strengthens the defence and recovery functions of the skin.

Primed & Protected

Sunscreen: Essential Care For Your Skin Exposure to UV light shows up later in the form of pigmentation, increased skin sensitivity, premature ageing, and in extreme cases, skin cancer. Even if you are indoors most of the time, it is essential that you use sunscreen UVA and UVB, what’s the difference? The sunlight that reaches us comes in two forms of ultraviolet rays. UVB rays have shorter wavelengths and are responsible for the darkening of skin, while UVA rays have longer wavelengths that penetrate deeper into the skin, damaging skin structure and causing premature ageing. They’re able to penetrate through glass. Suffice to say, even if you’re spending most of your time indoors, you’re still exposing your skin to UVA rays, especially if you’re in a room with natural light.…

6 Foods You Should Eat To Fight UV Damage

While your daily dose of sunscreen protects the skin, there’s no harm in topping it off with sun-protecting foods that’ll work from the inside out. Here are some foods that are rich in cell-protecting antioxidants: Avocado: Packed with vitamin E, this fruit will keep the skin hydrated and prevent photo damage in the long run. Dark chocolate: A study found that regular consumption of dark chocolate rich in flavanols offers significant photo-protection and can protect the skin from harmful UV effects. Almonds: Throw this in your salads or snack on them throughout the day, vitamin E in almonds protects your skin from UV damage and helps it stay moisturised. Tofu: Alongside protection of UV radiation, tofu also improves skin thickness, collagen count, and skin elasticity. Sweet potato: Thanks to its…

GLASS-SKIN GLOW Great skin is the first step to looking fresh, so keep yours looking naturally youthful with good skincare. Prep skin before makeup application with a pearlescent glow serum like Chantecaille’s Radiance Elixir, $360 (30 ml). Formulated with crystal peptides, it boosts skin clarity and hyaluronic acid production, illuminating skin with a lit-from-within radiance. BRIGHT-EYED WONDER Mascara is your best friend here. It helps accentuate the perimeters of your eyes, making them appear bigger. Start by applying a sheer, ivory-coloured eyeshadow to the inner corner of your eye and over the centre of your eyelid, then layer up on mascara using this pro-tip from Lady Gaga’s makeup artist, Sarah Tanno. “Use the brush vertically on coated lashes,” she shares, “It really gives you that extra lift!” GO FOR THE…

Do You Really Need A Facial Cleanser?

Healthy skin begins with a good skincare routine, and this includes the vital step of cleansing once or twice a day. Failing to wash your face properly can lead to skin irritation, clogged pores, and acne breakouts. A quality facial cleanser helps remove makeup and dirt without stripping it of its natural oils. Cleansers also help to prepare the skin for serums and moisturisers that deliver hydration, antioxidants and sun protection. Choosing the best cleanser for you largely depends on your skin type. Someone who is acne-prone, but at the same time, has sensitive skin should not be using a facial cleanser meant for acne-prone or oily skin types, as that would worsen their skin condition. Fragrance-free cleaners are preferable for those who have sensitive skin. For dry and/or sensitive…

Do You Really Need A Facial Cleanser?

To double-cleanse or not to double-cleanse?

The double-cleansing method dates back to the Japanese Edo period, when geishas and maikos would double-cleanse to remove heavy makeup that was lead-based. Advocates swear by this method as they believe that it effectively purges skin of impurities without dehydrating the skin. In double-cleansing, the first cleansing product (usually a cleansing oil) removes most of the makeup and dirt from the face, before a second cleanser (like micellar water) takes away any leftover makeup and oils. Double-cleansing can be beneficial in hot and humid climates because of how effective it is in makeup removal, while leaving behind healthy skin with unclogged pores.…

Dealing with the Unknown

When Katherine Prani got cancer in her first year of university, it turned her plans upside-down. However, surviving Hodgkin’s lymphoma also cultivated skills for her to deal with challenges that would prove crucial in her later years. Like Katherine, who is now 40 and working as a freelance copywriter in Sydney, most of us experience unexpected trials – with our health, relationships, finances or career. While most of us probably prefer a smooth-sailing life, life rarely works that way. However, we can benefit from disruption and thrive. In 2012, scholar Nassim Nicholas Taleb released a book detailing why things benefit from randomness and risk. Called Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, Nassim’s work describes anti-fragility as beyond resilience or robustness. “The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the anti-fragile…

TIPS FOR DEALING WITH FEAR

Dr Heron recommends: Concentrate on how you will feel and what life will look like when you achieve your goals. Believe in yourself and what you want. If you struggle to change your beliefs, she suggests getting help from a coach, counsellor or psychologist. “More and more people realise that it’s okay to ask for help, and the status quo doesn’t have to be fear, or getting stuck. The norm can be to follow our heart and be okay with it.” Charlotte Stapf recommends: Consider the worst thing that could happen and whether that fear is justified. “It’s very rare that it would involve death or maiming.” Compare the fear of what could happen with what you are hoping will happen. “Are we willing to not go for it just…

Resolving Conflicts

Fight, disagreement, argument, dispute, quarrel, squabble… Whatever you want to call it, relationship conflict is an almost inevitable part of being human. Having different experiences, viewpoints, and opinions mean that things aren’t always going to be smooth-sailing with our friends, families and intimate partners, but knowing how to navigate the storms can make all the difference. When something has upset you, it’s important to voice it, rather than let the problem and your feelings simmer. What’s most important is how you go about expressing it. Dr Rachel Low, who studies relationship conflict, says that the best way to address conflict is to use direct and open communication. The first step is making sure you’re in a positive, calm and open headspace, and that you know what you want to say…

Rachel’s Exercise For Couples To Try

In a study with 120 couples over two years, completing a simple 21-minute writing exercise has shown to reduce conflict, reduce personal distress, increase understanding and prevent a decline in marriage satiswfaction. 1 Think about the last significant argument you had. Write on paper for seven minutes, explaining the argument from the perspective of a neutral third-party who just wants the best for everyone. 2 For the next seven minutes, write about what obstacles you would face when trying to adopt this neutral perspective. 3 For the last seven minutes, write about how you would overcome those obstacles.…

Rachel’s Exercise For Couples To Try

DO: • Be curious about your feelings and ask yourself why you’re feeling the way you do. • Resolve the conflict in person, rather than over email or text. • Before the conversation, understand what you want to communicate, how you feel and possible ways to solve the problem. • Communicate directly and clearly. • Put your phone away. • Listen to what the other person has to say and try to see it from their point of view. • Use body language, nodding and eye contact to affirm that you are listening. • Focus on finding a solution and moving forward. DON’T: • Let a problem simmer. • Ignore or suppress your uncomfortable feelings; they are important signals that something is wrong or needs to change. • Dwell on…

“As a rough guide, begin with a four-second inhale and four-second exhale, then build this up” We do it at least 20,000 times a day, but it seems that we still don’t get it right. “Observe a baby breathing; they breathe fully and completely into their chest and belly. As we get older, our breathing patterns change in response to life experience, suppressed emotions and habits,” says yoga and breathing expert Kirsty Gallagher. When we’re stressed or upset, we hold our breath and our inhalations can become shallower. And this type of breathing can become the norm. “This triggers the ‘fight or flight’ stress response,” says Kirsty. So how do we break this cycle? Tune into your breathing “The best way is to start spending some time each day with…

THE BENEFITS OF BREATHING BETTER

It releases toxins Deep breathing massages your body’s lymphatic system, which helps to eliminate waste and toxins from the body. It manages emotions “Proper breathing can help us to tap into, control and release our emotions,” explains Kirsty. When we stifle an emotion, we subconsciously hold our breath, which can make us feel even worse. “Tuning into your breath and learning how to breathe fully and completely is a great self-healing tool,” she says. It curbs stress Breathing slowly and deeply can help keep your mind calm and alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety. It helps you to live in the moment A busy and hectic schedule means it can be hard for us to find a little “me-time”, but breathing can have a grounding effect to help you wind…

Self-Care Through The Decades

Your 20s Your body is in peak form, your resting metabolic rate is firing, and your bone density, muscle mass and heart health are in top shape.

Self-Care Through The Decades

An all-ages show No matter your age, brushing, flossing and regular dental checkups help to safeguard your oral health. The same applies to a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water and exercising to keep your body - and your mouth - healthy. Mind your mouth Healthy teeth are free of cavities and diseases, and healthy gums are pink, and most importantly, don’t bleed when brushed or flossed. But certain medications, teeth grinding and careless brushing and flossing can all compromise the conditions of teeth and gums. Here’s a quick guide on how to keep your oral health in peak condition: • Brush at least twice a day • Floss daily • Use fluoride toothpaste • Limit sugary foods and drinks • Have regular dental check-ups • Don’t smoke The link…

Our Different Butterflies

Almost overnight, a new world has emerged with social distancing measures put in place even as schools reopen. Kids are still donning masks and unable to freely socialise with their friends. The stress cast over this new lifestyle must not be underestimated. Feelings of despair, fear, confusion, and helplessness manifest as the coronavirus affects our daily lives. Make Sense Of The World Art is the essential language of emotions, and the subconscious, much like dreams are. As an artist and a mother to a 14-year-old daughter, we often turn to our creative outlets to make sense of our inner worlds. My teenager takes her creative interests in forms of journaling and dance, while I immerse myself in acrylic painting and music-making. Calm Down With younger children, visual language comes before…

We sometimes focus so much on finding time to get outside to enjoy the fresh air that we neglect thinking about the quality of the air in our indoor living spaces. The quality of the air in your home can have a significant impact on how you feel, the ease of which you can breathe, and your overall health and well-being. According to immunopharmacology professor Stephen Holgate, many people are unaware that the air inside homes is often more polluted than the atmosphere outside. This is due to the accumulation of dust, mould, allergens and chemicals indoors. A joint report from Royal College of Physicians (RCP) and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) in the UK warns that toxic fumes from air fresheners and cleaning products could…

A LITTLE LESS JUDGEMENT

Have you recently caught yourself judging someone for their appearance, behaviour or relationship, only to feel guilty about it? Casting judgement is natural - we all do it. But an unhealthy amount can intensify negative thoughts, and it’s important to remember that we only know so much about somebody else’s life. Being judgemental can hurt other people, and is exhausting for the person doing it. Here’s how to show a little more compassion: 1 Put pen to paper. When you have a judgemental thought, do write it down. Then rewrite and reframe it as a positive affirmation. If you judge your friend’s sense of fashion, your empathetic rewrite might be, “She seems to feel comfortable with herself, no matter what she’s wearing. I’ll have to ask her what her secret…
