Calling All Metrosexuals

Women of Thailand, rejoice. Your men need no longer steal your moisturizer or nick your facial scrub thanks to the folks at Watsons. The beauty and health care purveyor takes aim at that rapidly growing segment of the population popularized by the Thai movie Metrosexual through its “Watsons Men’s Skincare” line. So go on, men, and enjoy your own brand of facial wash (B80), scrub (B100), lotion (B150) and masks (B150), as well as a soothing aftershave balm (B150) nourished by Vitamins C, E and coenzyme Q10. We won’t tell. Try Watsons, Siam Square Soi 1, 02-658-3969.

Made for asians

Feeling dehydrated? Gunky rich skin creams making you see spots? Estee Lauder has come up with a new moisturizer aimed specifically at the Asian woman, which provides the fuller hydration of a heavier cream, but without all the guck or shine that inevitably ensues after a few minutes in the tropical heat. Starting Aug 1, women will be vying for Estee’s Hydra Complete Multi-Level Moisture Gel for oily skin or Gel Crème for normal complexions (B2,200) to see what optimal hydration feels like. Try Estee Lauder Counter, G/F, The Emporium, Sukhumvit Rd., 02-269-1000.
