1. MTM Skincare’s Custom-Blended Re-White Treatment
"No skin is exactly the same, and MTM Skincare’s philosophy is realising authentic beauty through customised skincare solutions tailored for your needs. Granted, many beauty brands might offer personalised treatment packages targeting skin problems, but how many can claim to fully customise every step of your treatment from over 200 formulas?
That was definitely not what I was expecting when I stepped into its spacious treatment centre at Winsland House, looking for a quick brightening treatment before the Tatler Ball.
While I may cheat on my beauty routine from time to time, I’ve always prided myself on my regime, which was why I was in for a shock when the results of the skin diagnosis captured using MTM Skincare’s specialised machine came out—my pores were significantly larger compared to peers in my age group, and my complexion was lacking in hydration.
My horror was quickly soothed, however, as the beautician assured me that we would target each of these problems with their latest Custom-Blended Re-White treatment.
The one-and-a-half-hour treatment was especially relaxing, and the therapist was happy to share what went into my customised cleanser, essence, cream, and mask every step of the way: cucumber and mint extract to cleanse the dirt and grime in my pores; nectar to soothe my skin after extraction; and melia extract, for anti-oxidation and improving the accumulation of melanin for an even complexion.
A specialised “Penetration & Electroporation Solution” is used to amplify the absorption of this quasi-drug whitening skincare, and that was definitely my favourite part of the treatment, which almost lulled me to sleep.

An ionic facial device, the procedure uses thermal and electro-osmosis technology to enhance the effects of the Re-White essence. A metal applicator was used to massage my skin, first at a comfortable temperature of about 30 degrees celcius for eight minutes, and then a refreshing course of six minutes at under 0 degrees celcius.
Then, a 20-minute Re-White mask, enriched with Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate from licorice root and Ceramide 3 is used for deep repair, replenishing moisture, and brightening the skin tone for dewy skin.
True to its claims, I left MTM Skincare with the “glass skin” I’ve always wanted, and I can definitely say I have the perfect base for the Maximalist makeup looks I’m going to try for the upcoming Tatler Ball." - CP
