Brought Cayden for BabySPA @ Westgate 

This is his first time and he is enjoying so much that when the staff brought him up, he started crying!

Baby Spa seems to be like a trend in Singapore nowadays. Those baby in a neck float swimming in a bubble spa tub, kicking around in the water exercising. It's super cute! Babies right from the age of 1 month old and go for a swim.

Baby swimming from birth is fantastic for your baby's health & development, and could spark a lifetime's interest in the sport. Each swim provides a complete physical work-out, strengthening you baby's heart and lungs and in turn aiding development of the brain - including stimulating all 5 senses (taste, smell, touch, sight and sound).

Benefits of Swimming for babies:

1. It boosts confidence

Introducing children to water at a very young age helps prevent a fear of water developing later. Exercises that involves moving independently in water and holding on to the side are wonderful for your baby's confident. You'll be so proud of what your baby can do.

2. It develops their co-ordination

Being in the water helps improve co-ordination and balance.

3. It builds their strength 

Buoyancy and water-resistance mean that babies exercise more muscles, more effectively, in water than on land.

4. It enhances their well-being

Warm water relaxes your baby, and swimming stimulates their appetite; for you, the good news is improved sleeping and eating patterns!

5. Great for Physical Development

There isn't a lot of activities your 1 month old can do for exercising besides lying in the cot and waking up to be fed. Baby swimming is completely natural; having spent months surrounded by fluid in the womb, babies have a real affinity with water.

6. Great for Mental Development

The first year of a life is crucial in terms of their development, as it is in this period that their brain grows most rapidly. Regular exercise plays a vital role in this, with every movement they make helping to strengthen their brain for new learning.

7. You can start from 1 month onwards

Parents must make the following preparations:

1. Feed your baby at least 30 minutes to one hour in advance.

2. Bring some milk powder as baby will be hungry after water-training.

3. Bring your own towel.

They will exercise your babies arm, legs and hips before the swim.

They will slowly put your baby into the pool until baby is accustomed to the water without scaring the baby. New water is prepared for each swim and the staff will also make sure the water temperature is of the same to the temperature to a mother's womb and teaches the baby how to kick and swim.

After a couple of minutes, Cayden start swimming confidently by himself and the staff could let go of him.

It was a pretty good experience with them. And i'm looking forward to bring Cayden there often so he can enjoy and learn at the same time!

[Advertorial/Sponsored] Review - BIORÉ UV AQUA RICH WATERY GEL SPF50+ PA++++

BIORÉ UV AQUA RICH WATERY GEL SPF50+ PA++++ 

Do you know that protecting our skin from UV damage is so important? Yet, only 30% of every women between the age 12 - 49 years old use a sunscreen daily. Are you one of them???

IT IS NOT GOOD TO STEP OUT OF YOUR HOUSE WITHOUT A SUNSCREEN!

Prolonged exposure to the sun's UV rays without proper protection can cause permanent effects such as premature skin ageing, wrinkles & freckles, as well as, various skin damages like discolouration, sallowness, dryness. In extreme cases, they can also lead to skin cancer.

Sun exposure causes skin changes that we think of as a normal part of aging. Over the time, the sun's UV light damages the fires in the skin called elastin. When the fibres break down, the skin begins to sag, stretch, and lose its ability to go back into place after stretching. 

The most damaging UV rays can be classified into different wavelengths, known as UVA and IVB. UVA rays penetrate into the deeper layers of our skin as compared to UVB rays, and are also the dominant tanning ray. The penetrative ability of UVA rays through glass means that even when you're seeking shelter indoors, your skin continues to be exposed to its harmful effects which can cause cumulative damage such as wrinkling and skin ageing.

On the other hand, UVB rays cause the most damage to the outer layer of skin such as reddening of skin and sunburns. Without proper protection, prolonged exposure to UVB rays can cause long-term damage to skin's epidermal layers. 

The top reason why women prefer not to apply a sunscreen is the sticky, greasy feeling on the skin that most sunscreen tend to leave behind.

This is where the light, watery texture of Bioré’s Aqua Rich Watery Gel stands out! Similar to the Aqua Rich Watery Essence, it is formulated with Bioré’s unique Aqua Rich technology to give it a light and watery texture when applied onto skin.

The Aqua Rich Watery Gel contains the breakthrough Aqua Micro Capsule a water capsule which breaks upon application on skin to release the UV protection agent while giving skin a cool and refreshed feeling.

Unlike most sunscreens that have a higher SPF value which tends to compromise on the product texture, Bioré’s Aqua Rich Watery series retains its lightweight feel and at the same time provide maximum UV protection.

The Aqua Rich Watery Gel is also infused with hyaluronic acid and citrus extract to keep skin hydrated and healthy. 

WHY BIORE UV AQUA RICH WATERY GEL ?

When I've tried Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel, I was quite impressed by the watery texture, it also leaves my skin soft and smooth. I like that it has this matte finish, no greasiness or oily shine that most sunscreens leave. It's super light yet powerful enough to protect your skin against the harmful UV rays.

Majority people often assume that the higher the SPF the better it is for protection against UV rays.

It's all untrue. 

A sunscreen with the rating of SPF50 is sufficient coverage, as it blocks up to 98% of UVB rays from penetrating into skin. Any SPF rating higher than this compromises on the texture of the sunscreen, making it heavier, stickier and greasier when applied on skin. So this is the optimal concoction of perfection. PA++++ blocks UVA rays that cause premature raging and skin wrinkling. Currently, a 4+ rating is the industry highest level of protection.

And Biore UV watery Gel provides the highest protection for your skin with their unique breakthrough formula that will leave your skin feeling cool and refreshed.

The Aqua Rich Watery Gel is also infused with hyaluronic acid and citrus extract to keep skin hydrated and healthy. 

Those with super sensitive skin, don't worry it's a gentle formula and it's allergy tested!

The bottle is 90ml, the bottle is a hard plastic with a twist style cap and a dispensing nozzle.

The consistency is a little more watery and easier to apply.

The smell is delightful, sweet, light and unobtrusive, and has a hint of citrus scent. 

It's so light that it makes a perfect makeup base so you don't have to go for high SPF foundation that is oily, sticky and super thick!

It is also water and sweat resistance if you are going for any outdoor activities, REMEMBER to apply!

Final thoughts: 

Overall, it's a very excellent sunscreen. It offer excellent UVA & UVB protection without any sort of white cast or shininess. It applies easier and absorbs faster and more fully!

I would strongly recommend this sunscreen, because i personally dislike those that leaves my skin sticky and greasy after application! Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel did a miracle, it absorb faster than i thought and the finishing is PERFECT! 

Available at all leading pharmacies, super & hyper markets, departmental stores, beauty stores and selected minimarts. 

Retailing at SGD$18.90
