BLACK PAINT Microbiome Skincare

Why do we say that Best Water is the ‘mineral water’ for your skin?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s because we’ve infused 30 different essential skin minerals into Best Water! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that your skin needs minerals to stay supple and hydrated? These minerals form the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) of the skin which is a water barrier that protects the skin from water loss, infections, UV radiation, etc. They’re also important for skin repair and healing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our NMF gets compromised as we lose minerals in sweat, natural discharge and in washing. And the best way to replenish them is by supplying these minerals directly on the skin.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And Best Water does exactly that. The minerals in Best Water repair, strengthen, nourish, hydrate and protect the skin to keep it young, bouncy and supple. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But that’s not all! There’s a whole lot of other ingredients with other benefits too! Curious about them? Visit our online store https://blackpaint.sg/store (link in bio) to learn more!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is for those of you who are the worst and the harshest critics of themselves! This is a reminder to show some kindness and compassion to yourself. You are human. You are meant to be flawed, you are made to make mistakes, you are supposed to be imperfect. What you need is some self-love and acceptance because nobody can stay healthy and thrive in all that meanness!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Try loving yourself for once and see how much you change. Positive reinforcement works stronger than criticism. Nourish yourself and see how you grow. Be patient with yourself and see how you transform.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Bonsai trees are an important part of the Japanese culture. Did you know that ‘bonsai’ literally translates to ‘planted in a container’? You must’ve seen these ‘mini-trees’ in many places!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bonsai plants symbolize balance, simplicity and harmony – 3 important attributes of life. Did you know that they’re even considered a sign of good luck when someone gifts them to you? They’re an intricate part of feng-shui and are known to increase the flow of your Qi.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The purpose of bonsai is to bring out reflection and introspection in anybody who sees it. On the other hand, it also evokes the ingenuity of the grower – Bonsai’s are extremely hard to cultivate! They’re a form of Japanese art that requires complicated and meticulous techniques as well as challenging mental abilities.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Double tap if you liked this little tidbit about Japanese culture and we’d love if you’d love to share any in the comments below!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We definitely do need some moments of that! Our minds need a break every once in a while from all those thoughts, analyses, memories, anxieties, planning and worrying. Thinking is living in the past and the future while the present rolls on, unheeded and forgotten.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Feeling is the way to live in the present. To feel every moment, aware of all the senses and the world around without being disturbed and distracted with thought – that’s what living in the present is!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take a couple of minutes after you read this. Put your phone away, sit down, relax, close your eyes and feel your breath, feel the weight of your body on the ground, feel the air around you, feel the sensations on your skin, hear the sounds around you, feel the wetness of your tongue. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Meditate. Let your mind be empty for a little while. Don’t think. Feel.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tried it? How do you feel?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Argan is one of the latest trending skincare ingredients for dry skin but what’s a better moisturizer than Argan??⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Argan when combined with Shea Butter, Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil and most importantly – Ostrich Oil!! We just can’t stop raving about Ostrich Oil – it’s like the popular Emu Oil except better. Its composition is very close to that of the skin so it gets absorbed super quickly and helps rebuild the skin’s lipid layers. This helps the skin retain its moisture and prevent water loss. That’s the ultimate moisturizing you need!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But that’s not all! We also fortified our Argan Balm with the probiotic Lactobacillus. Yes, we target dryness right at its roots – we nourish the microbiome.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If we’ve aroused your curiosity enough, it’s time to visit our store to learn more about Argan Balm, what are its other ingredients and what the customers are saying! Here’s the link- https://blackpaint.sg/store (also in bio)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Good skin isn’t just about the way the looks but also about the way it feels. Good looks you can achieve even with makeup, photoshop and camera filters. But can you hide the way you feel? Can the itching and burning, the dryness and irritation be hidden? Can you actually feel fresh and supple artificially?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Absolutely not.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s why we focus so much on those healthy feels… For skin to feel healthy, you need to work deeper, from the inside. Making your skin feel healthy means nourishing it, not sterilizing it. It means working slowly and patiently with the long-term in mind. It means working on your body, your lifestyle and habits. It also means working on your mind, ruling out stress and bad mental habits too.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We’re forever crazy about the Japanese cuisine and love talking about its little details! Here’s one for you – Wakame.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wakame is a delicious, nutrient-packed seaweed that makes for an excellent topping for your rice, sushi, soup, tofu or salad. What’s striking about Wakame isn’t just its nutrient density but also its unique satiny texture and umami flavor without which Japanese food wouldn’t be Japanese food!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wakame comes rich in Vitamins and minerals with a relatively low ratio of calories. It’s also associated with a number of health benefits such as decreased blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, reduced blood sugar as well as enhanced weight loss.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With the west raving about greens like kale, here’s your oriental equivalent to make a big deal of – Wakame! Plus, it’s got a pretty cool, whacky name too – don’t you agree?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Life can get quite overwhelming at times – there’s a living to make, bills to pay, things to take care of, chores to do… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Amidst all that madness, sometimes all you need is a moment away. A moment to close your eyes, hug yourself and take a deep breath. Feel. Block out all the anxieties, the to-do’s, the negativities and simply focus on that one thing that makes us alive, something that is the utmost basic and the most important – our breath.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How often do you allow yourself such moments in a day? Those little moments step away from the superficial and feel your true, most basic self?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
