Experience the Power of Oriental Botanicals in Skincare with mtm labo

With the many skincare products out there, it can get a bit frustrating to find the right solutions for your skin type and concerns. More so, if you’re unfamiliar with what you should look for in your skincare. On top of that, it’s no secret that your skin changes over time — due to environmental factors, hormones, and more, making it harder to find products that treat your everchanging skin, which is why custom solutions are great when dealing with your unique skin. 

Enter: mtm labo — previously known as MTM Skincare — an award-winning skincare brand with 30 years of history that takes the medicinal properties of oriental botanical extracts and turns them into custom-blended products that work for any and every skin condition. 

“We recognise that every individual is unique, so is our skin,” says Kelly Keak, managing director of mtm labo. “Inspired by the medicinal applications of Oriental botanicals, we’ve carefully curated mtm labo’s special library of extracts comprising Chinese, Western and Japanese ingredients. Selected extracts are custom-blended into our skincare according to how they can help improve each client’s unique skin condition.”

Rebranded with a new minimalistic, deep green translucent design specially crafted by Muji-designer Kenya Hara, the earthy hue symbolises mtm labo’s special relationship with nature and their own pursuit of natural beauty. If you’re one who appreciates simplistic designs of skincare, mtm labo’s packaging is sure to intrigue you — also perfect for men who prefer something more unassuming in their personal bathrooms.

As busy people living busy lives in Singapore, we often tend to skip our extended skincare regimens in favour of a more time-saving one; cleanse, tone, moisturise. However, none of these will work if you neglect the most important step — exfoliation, twice a week at maximum.

In order for your active ingredients to effectively absorb into your skin, you have to make sure that your skin is prepped and unclogged for best results. Think of your skin as a clean canvas to be painted on. You wouldn’t want to paint over a dirty one that would not fully showcase the true strength of your paint. 

Luckily for us, mtm labo’s Custom-Blended Scrub ($95 for 29g) does just the trick. Using natural scrub particles, natural enzymes, plant ingredients, fruit acids, and Apricot kernel oil, the blend works in tandem to get rid of accumulated dead skin cells, revitalise the skin and restore its metabolism for smoother and healthier skin. The perfect prep before your next steps in skincare.

mtm labo’s can be found at Wheelock Place and at its flagship at Winsland House, where custom-blended facial treatments are available.
