Ladies, do you plan yearly trips to Bangkok to restock your stash of Thai beauty products? Gentlemen, how many hours have you spent staring at store racks in Bangkok scratching your head, not knowing whether you bought the right item for your girlfriend/colleague/wife?
Even though a trip to Thailand feels impossible in the near future, we have good news for you. Face & Body is Singapore’s largest importer of Thai beauty products. You can either go to their shops to Golden Mile Complex / Lucky Plaza to buy your favourite items, or if you are lazy, head over to their online store to have them delivered to your doorstep.
Here are the 10 Must-Buy Thai Beauty Products for Singaporeans, according to Face & Body:

You see this everywhere in Thailand. SnailWhite is said to restore your skin to its glowingly youthful beginnings with this all-in-one facial cream. Formulated with miracle beauty ingredient snail secretion filtrate, it renews and rejuvenates, making skin feel smoother & firmer and visibly diminishing the appearance of fine lines.

#4 Snake Brand Prickly Heat Shower Gel
Good for: Relieving itchy rashes and cooling effect after shower.
We are all familiar with the Prickly Heat Powder especially Singaporean men as we use it during our NS days to “shower/powder bath”. The new shower gel is similar to the powder as it also gives you that cooling sensation, which is perfect for our hot climate. Other new products include body wipes and body spray which fit nicely in our pockets when we go out.

#6 Soffell Mosquito Repellent
Good for: Repelling mosquitoes.
Widely available in 7-11s and department stores, we frequently purchase this in Thailand to protect ourselves from mosquitoes which are all around especially when we dine outdoors. With the increase of dengue cases in Singapore, it is good to have this with you at all times. Soffell Mosquito Repellent blocks mosquitoes effectively for up to 7 hours and has a pleasant floral scent. It contains a special moisturiser which keeps your skin soft, with no burning sensation or stickiness when applied to your skin.
