GÜLSHA
This Turkish beauty brand draws inspiration from aromatherapy and their main ingredient is pure rosewater distilled from Damascus roses.Extremely popular for its whitening properties, their skincare products are also great for moisturising and toning the skin. Buy the Ultimate Rosewater, which can be used as a toner, face mist, or even as a face mask. You can often find these products used in spas all over Hong Kong, but now you can find them in Sasa stores all over the city.
Banila.Co
Banila.Co started off online but now it can be found in stores and you won’t be disappointed with how many products that they have. The brand can be found in Sasa outlets all over the city. Highly recommended is the CC cream, which is incredibly lightweight (perfect for Hong Kong summers) and Clean It Zero cleansing balm. Again, a staple for hot and humid weather and perfect for removing the build up of that can occur in a polluted city.
