Living in Malaysia means that you’ll have to endure the hot and humid weather all year long, and hot and humid can be quite irritating, especially during festive season when you’re usually traveling or holidaying as you would want to feel fresh all the time. Christmas is just around the corner and soon enough, Chinese New Year will be knocking on our door. I have no doubt that some of you are already making some travel and holiday plans by now.

Here’s recommending some items you can buy from Althea to help you stay cool, fresh and naturally lovely throughout the festive season without burning a huge hole in your pocket:

4. Althea Milk Peel Cream Mask

Althea Milk Peel Cream Mask is the first AHA + BHA based peeling cream mask. Pretty simple to use with only a quick 30-60 seconds of application needed. Definitely great for those who are busy and can’t really be bothered with an elaborated skincare routine or those who are constantly on the go. Rinsing it off leaves you with a softer and a more moisturized skin with soothingly fresh sensation. While it says that it’s suitable for all skin types, I personally feel that those with oily and sensitive skin benefit from Althea Milk Peel Cream Mask the most as it helps to reduce greasiness and is really gentle on the skin.
