Melvita Nectar De Miels rescue dry & sensitive skin with Thyme honey!

Melvita launched Nectar de Miels bodycare a while ago. Sorry I have been really busy and I wish I could share with you guys sooner on this.

Being a fan of Melvita, I can't help to contains my excitement when they launched this new range that is enriched with organic Thyme Honey because they said this will rescue even the driest and most sensitive skin!

Thyme flowers are rich in nectar and loved by bees of the Mediterranean Basin. The Romans would use it to purify the air in their houses while during Middle Ages, a few spring of thyme would be slipped under the pillows to chase away nightmares and soothe troubled sleep. 

Melvita's organic thyme comes from the La Sierra de Cebollera nature reserve in Spain. It's harvested by a family of beekeepers who have looked after almost 4,000 hives there for the past three generations. This natural enclave, surrounded by mountains, guarantees an organic honey of the highest quality.

Following the research done by Melvita, they found that Thyme flowers honey was able to acts like a natural "dressing" with an instant soothing effect to our skin. It has also reveal an amazing synergic effect when it's combined with acacia and orange blossom honeys in the NEW Nectar de Miels range to HEAL and RESCUE very dry & sensitive skin.

Melvita Nectar De Miels range comes with 3 products ; Hand  cream, Body Balm and Body Milk Lotion.

This exceptional nourishing and repairing range has 3 main ingredients mainly ;

Patents Complex of Three Organic Honeys - thyme, orange blossom and acacia honey which protects, repairs and revitalizes the skin

Soline - an active ingredients derived from sunflower oil, which softens the skin, helps prevent moisture loss and strengthened the skin's barrier function

Alpha Bisabolol - derived from candeia, which immediately soothes the skin

With me I have the comforting balm & milk lotion for review ; 

Melvita Comforting Balm  - RM138 / 175ml

Melvita Creamy Milk - RM115 / 200ml

Both this body lotion has floral sweet honey scent because it is enriched with organic thyme honey.

 that is a little empowering at the first sniff for me but it soon goes away after a while. Soon after that I got used to the scent. I have very dry skin to start off and some times my leg skin is flaky... so I have to constantly have to apply body moisturiser. 

The Comforting Creamy Milk is lighter in texture compared to Comforting Balm which is more rich, smooth and creamy. Both leaves my skin incredibly soft after massaging it into my skin and most importantly it does not leave greasy/sticky feeling behind. Personally I prefer to apply Creamy Body Milk in the morning and Comforting Balm at nigh because it is super moisturizing and it leave my skin feeling soft & supple till next morning although I sleep in my in air-conditioning room. For rough skin areas like elbow, knee and heel, I would suggest to apply comforting balm and after that cover with long sleeve/pants or put on socks for better result. Highly recommending it to people with dry & sensitive skin! 

It think it also heals my skin scratches (I got from playing with my dog) faster by soothing, moisturizing and healing my skin. Highly recommended for people with dry skin as it is a concentrate of nutrition for skin! 

And if you are someone who is really into organic & natural skincare and body care, this is definitely a brand you have to try because Melvita has Ecocert which means at least 95% of their total ingredients are from natural origins, and at least 95% if the total plant-based ingredients are organic while at least 10% of the total ingredients are from organic farming.

Melvita Nectar De Miels range is already available for sale at Melvita Boutiques (1 Mont Kiara, 1 Utama and Mid Valley) or online at www.melvita.com.my

Review : Nuvit Deer Placenta Softgel rewind my ageing clock!


I posted a picture of myself at a wedding dinner on my Instagram & Facebook over the weekends because I want to "show off" my beautiful vintage earring. A friend commented why your skin looks so smooth... so here I'm to reveal the reasons why skin are looking glowing nowadays!

I was given a box of Nuvit Deer Placenta Plus Softgel to try by Y.S.P Industries one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in Malaysia.  Yes you read it correctly it's placenta from deer.

In case you are wondering, no deer is killed during the extraction of the placenta as the placenta was extracted when deer gave birth.

Do you know the difference between collagen and placenta?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It is commonly found in the bones, muscles and skin that provides structural support, strength and a degree of elasticity. However, Collagen production declines with age and also others environment factors such as UV light. Thus, collagen supplement has been introduced to restore the collagen in our body. Although there are many skincare products that containing collagen but collagen molecules themselves are too big to be absorbed through the skin. They are most likely attributable to their moisturizing effects, but they do not strengthen the skin or directly increase collagen concentration in the skin. 

On the other hand, Placenta contains placental protein, Insulin-like Growth Factor-1(IGF-1), superoxide dismutases(SOD), hyaluronic acid, fibroblast growth factor(FGF), epithelial growth factor (EGF), senescent cell activating factors (SCAFs) and cytokines. These are the essential protein and cells that our body needed to rejuvenate and regenerate. Placenta protein has been proven to be twice as active as glutathione for skin whitening function. IGF-1 is one of the growth factor that promotes cell growth and development. FGF, EGF, and SCAFs are also growth factors that helps to activate the renewal of aged cels and stimulate the growth of fibroblasts and epidermis within the skin. SOD is an important antioxidant to protect the cells against superoxide activity. Hydraluronic acid is an excellent moisturizer. Cytokines found in placenta can also improve blood circulation and enhance immune function. 

Overall, Placenta contains much more essential active cells that aid in slowing down aging process and stimulate rejuvenation of our body. Instead, collagen also helps to replenish the amount of collagen in the body and it works to improve skin (externally) only. So if you want a more effective supplement to help to slow down aging process and works to improve internal body to external skin (that inner glow) , it's definitely better to go for placenta. 

Often I heard once you stop consuming collagen, it has adverse side effect and your skin go back to the original look and become dull and dry. Not sure how true, can anyone share if this is real?

Nuvit Deer Placenta Plus Softgel is extracted from the deer in New Zealand. Deer Placenta has been widely accepted as the premier source of placenta because it's considered to be higher order animal. It resembles human placenta very closely due to its biocompatibility with human and provokes no allergies reaction.

Nuvit Deer Placenta Plus Softgel use the concept of cell therapy to renew the old and degenerated cells in human body. Studies have confirmed that live or freeze-dried cells in placenta contain therapeutic agents that can find their way to the weak or damages cells or organs, thus initiating the repairing work. Cell therapy is one of the safest and most effective ways proven by many scientists to : -

  • slow down ageing process
  • reverse degenerate disease
  • increase vitality 
  • increase stamina improve general health 
  • enhance sexual function. 
Nuvit Deer Placenta Plus Soft Softgel is extracted using the latest advanced cell extraction and freeze-drying technology to ensure freshness and efficacy of the extract. The whole manufacturing process has followed strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) to ensure the safety and goodness quality of the essence. 

2,000 mg of New Zealand deer placenta is extracted which then undergoes 10:1 extraction ratio and is condensed into a standardized, bioactive 200mg deer placenta extract

On top of that Nuvit Deer Placenta Plus Softgel also consists of 5 natural and wellness ingredients which are rich in antioxidant, effective in protecting cells from radical damage. The ingredients are as follows :-
  • 60mg soy lecithin : gives excellent source of choline which may aid in memory ad cognitive function, cardiovascular health and liver function.
  • 50mg grape seed extract : reduce inflammation and improving cholesterol and triglyceride metabolism
  • 40mg tomato extract : provides antioxidant that protects cells from free radicals damages
  • 40mg marigold extract : able to protect eyes by absorbing harmful blue light, reducing glare as well as reduce progression of age-related macular degeneration
  • 285mg mixed tocotrienol : natural super antioxidant with anti-ageing properties. Helps to protect skin from damage and ageing.


To be honest this is my first time trying out placenta supplement and I was really skeptical until I was convinced about the benefits which I have shared above. I was relief to find out no deer has been killed during the placenta extraction. 

Each box of Nuvit Deer Placenta Plus Softgel consists 42 softgels. There are a total of 7 strips with 6 softgels sealed safely in each strip.

Ingredients are clearly written behind each strip
  • 200mg deer placenta extract
  • 60mg soy lecithin 
  • 50mg grape seed extract 
  • 40mg tomato extract 
  • 40mg marigold extract 
  • 285mg mixed tocotrienol
This is how Nuvit Deer Placenta Softgel looks like. It has no scent as the ingredients are locked in the softgel. This softgel must be taken with water where you can swallow it with water.

I been taking this daily after breakfast since early April 2016 and finally I finished it mid May.

The first thing I realised is my skin actually glows and the thing is I haven't change my skincare routine since I started consuming Nuvit Deer Placenta Softgel. I haven't see such a glow from my face for very long time...so I think must be this supplement that gives me this glow from within.

And I also realised my skin pores size has reduced and skin texture appears smoother! 

Besides that I find that my mood swing & menstrual pain has reduced probably because this Nuvit Deer Placenta helps to balance up my hormones in my body lah.... 

I know placenta is not a common health supplement, but to me this is really effective and worth to try looking at the results. With our busy and and stressful life in city, definitely we will face premature ageing due to a lot of factors such as air pollution, radiation from sunlight, cigarette smoking (we suffer as 2nd hand smokers most of the time!) and not enough of sleep. 

In order to prevent / rewind my ageing clock, I'm willing to try placenta to renew and regenerate the cells in my body because I know it's one of the safest and most effective ways proven by many scientists to slow down the ageing process. Besides it also helps to reverse degenerative disease, increase vitality and stamina, improve general health and enhance sexual function.
