Strike a balance
As the scorching summer draws to an end, it is necessary to heed the change in seasons and take preventative measures to fend off potential diseases.

Forever young
Two hero ingredients in many anti-aging creams are retinol and vitamin E.

Goodwill bag
My husband thinks I have too many tote bags but even he agreed that Dermagram's collaborative effort with KeenAble was a worthy addition. From now till October 15, buy a Dermagram product then add HK$50 for this bag. Or buy any product from the Balancing Solution line and Dermagram will donate HK$5 to the charity, which sells works by disabled artists.

Travel romance
Even if you can't travel round the world, you can smell like you have. The Body Shop's Voyage range of eau de toilette, shower gel and body lotion (from HK$99) comes in four scents: Japanese cherry blossom, Atlas Mountain rose, Indian night jasmine and Amazonian wild lily.

Wonder twin power
Anti-aging has always been the magic word in skin care. But long before the term became trendy - 27 years ago to be precise - Clarins was already producing its Double Serum.

Home exercises for the bum and tum
Shy about showing off your flabby body in the gym? Iso Fit, a pilates and gyrotonic studio in Central, helps out here with some strengthening and toning exercises you can do at home.

Positive thinking
The "post-80s" generation is slapped with so many negative labels that youngsters have become die-hard pessimists. They are called the "invisible youth" for their apparent unwillingness to get involved, NEETs (currently not in employment, education or training) and "kids" who cannot get by without their parents and domestic helpers.

Cheating simply feels so good
Former con man Frank Abagnale, whose life was dramatized in Catch Me If You Can, described how he felt after his first scam: "I was heady with happiness ... It was the most delightful sensation I'd ever experienced."

Brush up now
Given how Hongkongers love to flash toothy smiles for the phone cameras, it's amazing how indifferent they are when it comes to taking care of their teeth. A just released study shows SAR residents don't pay enough attention to oral health, even though they're aware that problems can affect their psychological well-being - not to mention their social life.

Get the brush off
For a professional finish to your makeup, try Hollywood Air's new product, After Make Sunscreen with SPF20 (HK$285 for 30ml).

Good as gold
In summer, your face needs a few essentials: moisturizer, mattifier and sunblock. Anna Lotan's Liquid Gold Triple Benefit Tinted Moisturizing Day Cream with SPF30 (HK$480) offers you all three functions in one foundation.
