your skincare?

WHAT:CRÈME SIMON Natural Supplements

The PR spiel: The good people at French skincare

and beauty brand Crème Simon, which was founded

by apothecary Joseph Simon in 1860, believe

that skincare goes beyond the skin, which is why

they’ve launched a series of natural supplements

and teas to complement their creams and lotions.

Free of  llers, preservations and other nasties, the

supplements come in three varieties — Feel is a

daily multi-vitamin which contains botanicals such

as ginseng and rhodiola to boost mood, energy,

mental well-being, anti-ageing and endurance;

while Look is the one you need if you want great

skin and hair, as it has French maritime pine bark

to help delay ageing and promote glowing skin and

healthy hair and nails, as well as

other ingredients to protect against

sun damage and premature hair

loss and greying. Rest is for those

who have trouble sleeping — it’s a

natural sleep aid which relaxes the

the Fat Burner has long pepper extract and L-Carnitine
to facilitate the body’s fat-burning process.
Sounds too good to be true? We thought so, but
decided to give the pills a shot. According to the folks
at Fancl, these will help keep you in shape if you don’t
exercise, and if you do work out, you will double the fat-
burning process and lose weight. We took these while
on a holiday and found that while we always put on a

kg or two while overseas, these helped us keep the

weight gain — and our appetite — in check. Without

exercising, the supplements didn’t help us lose weight,

but de nitely helped with maintenance. We’ll be getting

a couple more boxes of these.

mind and body and  ghts jet lag.

Sounds too good to be true?

We’re pretty sold by the premise

that beauty starts from within,

and you are what you eat, and

that multi-vits can supplement a

good diet and help you look and

feel better. After a couple of weeks of

popping the Look supplements, which promise better

skin and hair, our skin looks clearer and dewier, and

maybe a tad bouncier. Whether it’s our imagination

or not, taking natural botanical supplements to boost

general health and pad up the nutrition we get from

food sounds like a good plan.

Nice add-ons: Crème Simon’s natural supplements

want to help you look and feel better.

Pretty pills: Love the vintage-cool pack-

aging, which definitely look better in your

kitchen than the usual dull-looking vitamin

bottles.

Fruity and flowery

goodness: Other than the

pills, Crème Simon also

has four different types

of caffeine-free tea ($32

to $35) to promote good

health, good skin and

well-being.
