5 Hero Products from Augusté Skin

I got to chat up with Ayesha, where she shared insights about the specially curated Augusté Skin products collection. These products are designed for daily self-care rituals. Here is an overview of each products and its benefits.

ChromaExfolia Radiance Gel Scrub is formulated with rice beads to provide gentle exfoliation, improve skin texture, and promote a brighter, smoother complexion. This gel scrub contains rich antioxidants, which give further protection against premature aging.

FloraFusion Revitalize Day Crème is a fantastic day cream that combines peptides with antioxidants to create a moisturising formula that stimulates collagen production and enhances skin suppleness. It is excellent for sensitive skin and ideal for everyday use.

HydraBloom Gentle Renewal Cleanser reduces signs of premature ageing and soothes sensitive skin. This luxurious cleanser with botanicals and hyaluronic acid is good for deep purification and hydration.

HydroSculpt ProQuench Serum contains hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to provide intense hydration, reduce fine wrinkles, and regulate oil production. It also improves skin texture and protects against free radical damage.

My Experience

I was offered green tea with ginger to relax my body and mind. Kim was the on-duty esthetician assigned to give me the facial. She started with removing the oil and grime. The gentle strokes of her fingers were already working magic, and I was feeling relieved inside. Well-done cleansing allows the skin to absorb the treatment better. It enables vitamins to go inside deeper and more effectively. She was taking her time to cleanse. The forehead, cheeks, and chin are the main places that gather too much oil.

Then began the hydra-boosting phase, where my skin was gently cleansed and exfoliated using a specialised hydra-dermabrasion tool. Kim used several creams and products from the Augusté Skin line together with a sonic probe, which was used to improve my skin’s elasticity by tightening and firming my facial contours. I truly liked her massage style because she took enough time to cover the whole face. Believe it or not, the scraper she used to scrape dead skin and white bumps didn’t hurt at all.

Next, I experienced radiofrequency therapy, which utilised advanced RF technology to stimulate collagen production and tighten my skin. The warmth from the RF device was soothing, and I could feel my skin becoming firmer and more lifted as the treatment progressed.

The session concluded with a nourishing mud mask tailored to my skin type. The mask was rich in minerals and vitamins, providing deep hydration and nourishment. As it dried, I could feel it drawing out impurities and revitalising my complexion.

Augusté Skin is just not another beauty salon. It is much, much beyond that. My parched skin got a much-needed boost of hydration. My face post-treatment was firmer and less saggy, with the results lasting for about a week. My skin hasn’t stopped thanking me since my visit to Augusté Skin.

Augusté Skin is the ultimate destination for achieving a youthful, revitalized and stunning appearance.
