Some users like the old-fashioned products, others prefer the high-tech innovations. But whatever you fancy there's a myriad of skin care products to meet your needs.

Erno Laszlo Sea Mud Soap derived from the Dead Sea contains 21 minerals and is great for cleaning up blackheads and for exfoliation. Based on Laszlo's famous "splashing system", it takes 30 splashes of water with this cleansing bar which will leave your face soft and clean. A great alternative for someone who doesn't like gel or oil cleansers and works best for normal and oily-skin types. There are four types of Sea Mud Soap to choose from depending on the condition of your skin. The price is Bt2,945 and the soap bar usually lasts for three months.

Talika, a French brand specialising in eyebrows, lashes and eyes has just launched its Eye Detox Contour Gel to remove unsightly under-eye bags. After 28 days, the product claims 85 per cent reduction of dark rings and 92 per cent reduction of bags under eyes. Hold it like a pencil and gently dab under and above the eyes. The product contains peptides and proteins of sweet almond. To avoid getting panda eyes, get enough sleep and protect yourself from pollution. The price is Bt1,700.

For the brightest and most beautiful eyes, Sisley recommends its Phyto-Khol Perfect eyeliner in three colours - iridescent, metallic and matt for three looks - fiery, sultry, or doe like. Unlike some eyeliners, this one is easy to apply, resembling a cream eyeshadow that gives a soft finishing touch to the eyes. It comes with a sponge-tipped applicator that can be used to define the lash line or shade it into your eyelid. The price is Bt1,550.

For radiant skin take a look at Body Shop's Vitamin C line, including the Vitamin C Plus Time Release Capsule. One capsule of pure vitamin C a night can brighten up a dull complexion and protect the skin from pollution. The price is Bt1,100. Get a complimentary animal preservation theme skincare set with accessories in a bag when you buy Bt3,500 worth of any Vitamin C product.

Have fun looking beautiful!
