Founder’s Top 5 Skincare Picks 3 Minute Read Every skincare enthusiast has their go-to favourites – the products they can’t imagine their routine without. For Spa Ceylon Co-Founder and Group Director, Shalin Balasuriya, these are more than just skincare; they are a reflection of Ayurveda wellness, passion for self-care and holistic well-being. In this blog, we reveal Shalin’s top five skin care picks, sharing why these trusted products have become his skincare essentials, and how they can help enhance your own skincare journey. 1) Frankincense Face Wash for Men Shalin’s first pick is the Frankincense Face Wash for Men. It’s a skincare product with which to start and end your day: by cleansing your skin in the morning before you head out, and at night before bedtime. Unlike soap, which dries your skin, creating patches and a dull look, the Frankincense Face Wash is gentle on your skin, giving the nourishment required for men’s skin. Apart from deep cleansing your face by removing impurities such as excess oil, dust and dirt, this face wash locks in moisture, and gives your skin a fresh look by restoring your skin barrier with hydration and balance. Men, if you are looking to start a skincare routine, this is your first step and must-have skincare essential. 2) Frankincense Face Protector Day SPF 25+ The second skincare recommendation by Shalin is the Frankincense Rituals For Men – Face Protector Day SPF 25+, which is a 2-in-1 skincare solution: a Day Cream that offers sun protection with in-built SPF 25+ to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Living on an island with sunny weather throughout the year, it is important to protect your skin from sun damage. Infused with ingredients such as olive, virgin coconut to nourish hydrate, and promote cell renewal, to protect your skin and reduce signs of ageing. Use it on your face and neck, in the morning, before heading out. This quick absorbent men’s lotion gives a non-oily, matte finish, to keep your skin fresh all day long, with essential hydration. 3) White Rice Intensive Under Eye Treatment Concentrate Shalin’s third skincare selection, the White Rice Intensive Under Eye Treatment Concentrate, is his travel essential, as a frequent flyer. Being exposed to different weather conditions and climates can take its toll on your skin. An area such as under-eyes is especially at risk, as the skin is very sensitive, prone to dryness, and is often the first to show signs of ageing. This deep-acting formula is enriched with Rice Bran, Virgin Coconut and other natural actives to defend against visible signs of skin ageing around and under the eyes. Use this product to reduce dark circles, and puffiness around the eyes, soften, and hydrate the under-eye skin area for a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Pro Tip: Use your flights, or road travel time to get some essential skin care for yourself. Use overnight before bedtime for best results. Most Spa Ceylon skincare is available is travel-size for your convenience, making it easy to incorporate into a travel pouch. 4) White Rice Rejuvenating Facial Exfoliator The fourth skincare recommendation, the White Rice Rejuvenating Facial Exfoliator, is the product to take your skincare routine to the next level. Our skin renews every 28 days, and a facial scrub helps the renewal process for new cell generation, removal of rough patches, dead cells, and removing clogged pores. This facial exfoliator, also known as a facial scrub, has anti-ageing benefits, blended with pure Rice Bran Oil, which is a natural antioxidant and Gamma Oryzanol to promote a youthful appearance. This scrub is best suited for normal to dry sensitive skin types, as well as mature skin. Use twice a week, preferably at night, for best results, by applying around your nose and cheek areas, forehead, neck and chin areas (where you shave your face). Ingredients such as Virgin Coconut, Olive, organic Aloe Vera, and Ceylon Moringa infused in the White Rice Facial Exfoliator will soften and smoothen your skin, while improving your skin tone. 5) Skin Smooth Bakuchiol – Retinol Alternative Age Refining Day & Night Facial Serum Taking the fifth and final spot of Shalin’s top 5 skincare picks, is the Skin Smooth Bakuchiol – Retinol Alternative Age Refining Day & Night Facial Serum. As we age, our skin takes the toll of time, and facial skin is one of the first places that it is reflected on, such as fine lines, wrinkles, dull and dry skin. If you did not use skincare or have a skincare routine up to now, your late 30s and 40s is a time when giving proper care and nourishment to your skin becomes vitally important. This award-winning serum is infused with Bakuchiol, the natural retinol alternative for a smoother, hydrated and visibly firmer skin feel. The powerfully effective 4D Hyaluronic Acid in this serum provides deep hydration to your skin, while restoring your skin balance. Unlike other Retinol infused products, this serum can be used both during daytime and night time without harming your skin. Do a patch test to see compatibility with your skin.

Despite our best efforts, whether it be regular facials, drinking more water, using masques, or exfoliating, it can be a real challenge to maintain soft and clear skin. However, finding the perfect moisturiser for your skin type works like magic.

Our hair is our crowning glory. The tresses are an expression of our identity; how we style it, how long we grow it or how short we cut it affects us and sometimes gives a much-needed confidence boost.

We all love Christmas, there’s something special about the holidays; there is a sense of family and togetherness, and of course, there are gifts. After the year we’ve had, there has never been a better time to celebrate Christmas by spreading love and joy.

Whether a household tale or a fact, it has been known that virgin coconut oil can fix anything; from improving skin, hair and gum health to even aiding digestion – so it’s no surprise that coconut oil is considered to be a miracle elixir.

More often than not, when we hear phrases like “skincare regimen” or “skincare routine” it’s easy to feel a little overwhelmed. With an abundance of products available, it can be difficult trying to find a product that will suit you, and when you add “anti-ageing” to the mix, it only confuses you more!

Do you have trouble sleeping? Even after a long day at work, you feel both physically and mentally drained but as soon as you get into bed, you’re wide awake tossing from side to side desperately trying to fall asleep but failing? Well, if this a constant reality for you then it can be quite possible that you are suffering from insomnia.

Facemasks are part of the new normal. Leaving your house without a facemask just feels wrong, it’s as though you’ve forgotten your wallet or phone! But, as they have also become a preventative measure against the spread of COVID-19, it’s imperative that we all wear one when stepping out of our homes.

Oily skin is a result of a production of sebum from the sebaceous gland, which forms an oily/waxy substance that hydrates and protects the skin. In moderate amounts, sebum nourishes your skin and keeps it healthy. However, an overproduction can lead to oily skin which clogs pores, resulting in a breakout of acne.
