Renewing Skin with Nutox Youth Restoring Advanced Serum Concentrate

In celebration of women this March, Nutox organised an event along the vibrant Jalan Bukit Bintang shopping strip featuring the “Youth Restoring Advanced Serum Concentrate”. The bustling street came alive with an interactive event in appreciation of women, as roses and Nutox’s youth-regenerating serum were handed out to selected shoppers travelling between landmark malls such as Pavilion, Fahrenheit 88, Starhill Gallery, and Lot 10.


Pablo Picasso once said, “Youth has no age”. Now modern women with busy lifestyles can be inspired by his words, by staying young with Nutox serum that has been tested and proven to accelerate firming and smoothening of skin in just 7 days. They can focus on being their best selves every day, without worrying about ageing skin and this is the goal behind Nutox #beYOUthself.

“Nutox offers a cohesive youth restoring solution catering to different skin needs, which has been shown to have effective results. The Nutox Youth Restoring Advanced Serum Concentrate enhances the skin’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to effectively defy the signs of ageing. Multi-generations of women can easily achieve smoother, firmer and youthful skin," shares Nutox Marketing Manager Ashley Sin.

“The serum comes in 2 variants – ‘ALL SKIN TYPES’ and ‘SENSITIVE SKIN’. The serum for ‘SENSITIVE SKIN’ uses a dermatologically-tested hypoallergenic formula with no added paraben, fragrance, colorant, mineral oil and alcohol,” Ashley Sin announced, hailing the products that have helped 97% of users achieve youthful looking skin in an astonishing 7 days.


Both products contain uniquely formulated agents, which include Actigenic+™, a self-regenerative system and breakthrough technology that regenerates skin cells, maintains and produces collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid effectively to improve skin’s elasticity. The serums also contain B’Nest Collagen™ nutrients extracted from bird’s nest that help to improve skin condition and protect against visible signs of ageing. Additionally, the Oxyfusion™ technology infuses high level of oxygen into the skin to boost the absorption of B’Nest Collagen™.

The feather-light textured Nutox Youth Restoring Advanced Serum Concentrate penetrates deep into layers of skin. Its restorative benefits acts like a fountain of youth, making it a viable alternative to expensive and potentially risky cosmetic surgery to look younger.

The Nutox Youth Restoring Advanced Serum Concentrate 30ml is widely available at physical stores such as Watsons, Guardian, AEON Wellness, as well as online on Shopee and Lazada. The ‘ALL SKIN TYPES’ serum is available at RM86.70, while the ‘SENSITIVE SKIN’ serum is priced at just RM95.90.

Disinfect Surfaces Like A Professional with Clorox

Start Clean to Stay Safe and Hygienic

The Covid-19 pandemic has made all of us hyper-aware of viruses and germs. The fourth wave of the pandemic is happening globally, fuelled by the highly transmissible Omicron variant. In Malaysia, the Omicron variant is now dominant. How can we keep ourselves and our loved ones safe from viruses and germs while reclaiming our home, work or study space, as a clean zone?

First, know what you’re dealing with. Covid-19 is a respiratory virus that can spread via droplets, when someone who has the virus coughs, sneezes or touches their face and then touches a surface. Use a disinfectant and make sure you always follow the product label’s instructions for proper usage and contact time.

Introducing the Clorox Expert Disinfecting range that helps you disinfect your home, workplace, school or university like a professional. Developed with components used in Clorox’ professional lines that are intended for hospitals and medical services, it is EPA-approved to kills 99.9% of both viruses and bacteria in 1 minute, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. It works professionally and thoroughly, making it a good choice to keep your space safe from germs and viruses including the COVID-19 virus.

Clorox has been in the business of cleaning and disinfection solutions since 1913. Clorox is the #1 Bleach brand in the World and has been trusted for generations to kill 99.9% of germs. Its claims are backed by data and its products have been tried and tested even before the pandemic by professionals and home users.

“The Omicron variant is highly transmissible making it vital to disinfect hard surfaces, more often. Aim to disinfect frequently touched surfaces like keys, door knobs and handles, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, keys, the interior of your vehicle and even parcels and deliveries. It is better to be extra vigilant to stay safe,” said Paulo Lao, Sales and Marketing Director for Clorox Southeast Asia. “The transmissibility of the Omicron variant means that we can be the ones who bring the virus into our homes and pass it to our loved ones. It is important to disinfect the items we come in contact with for safety, hygiene and peace-of-mind.” 


Clorox would like to share some tips on how you can reclaim your space and protect yourself and your loved ones in the face of rising Omicron cases.

Work, School and College Space Safety 

Collaboration is a large part of in-office and in-person school or college sessions. While we aim to maintain social distancing, we might come in contact with items that have been touched by others. It is okay to be a ‘clean freak’ by disinfecting your work or study area when you arrive and again after lunch.

Create a Prevention Pack

Keep illness prevention items (such as face masks, face shields, hand sanitizer, disposable gloves, disinfecting wipes and disinfecting spray) in a centralised spot in your home, the centre console of your car, at your work or study station, or inside your purse/backpack for when you’re on the go.

Disinfect all your devices and ‘carry-ons’ daily

Your carry-ons such as your handbag, backpack, laptop, and mobile phone may come in contact with droplets – from yourself or from those around you. Always give these items a good wipe down. Be sure to bring along the Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes flowpack when you are out and about to ensure that your personal items are safe and not inadvertently spreading the virus. 


Disinfect your vehicle

We spend so much time in our vehicles, often with our masks off. Keep Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes within reach, to wipe down and disinfect hard surfaces in your vehicles. Remember to wipe the air conditioner vents and the door handles both inside and out. 

Spray the germs away

Before bringing groceries or parcels into your home, spray them down. Keep Clorox Expert Disinfecting Spray at the entryway to quickly disinfect items to keep you safe from viruses and bacteria.

Disinfect high-touch hot spot surfaces in your homes

Handrails, light switches, handles and doorknobs are all notoriously germy, as are high-touch items like phones, computer keyboards and TV remotes. We recommend Clorox Disinfecting Wipes for in home usage as they kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria including the Covid-19 virus in just 15 seconds. Give them a good once-over daily. 

Don’t let your guard down. Following these simple tips can help us stay safe and healthy, better able to cope with the challenges posed by the Omicron variant. The Clorox Expert range includes Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes Flowpack of 15s and 30s and Clorox Expert Disinfecting Spray. Clorox products are available nationwide at leading retailers and online retail partners, LazMall and Shopee Supermarket.

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, has launched 3.15 Consumer Day, the first mega sale of the year. 3.15 Consumer Day is happening now till 15 March and will bring the excitement of Shopee’s year-end festivals to all users, giving them more reasons to celebrate and reward themselves as they gear up for the year ahead.



Shopee is pioneering 3.15 Consumer Day to bring more value and joy to all shoppers, who are now using e-commerce to fulfil their needs all year round. Everyone can be a part of 3.15 Consumer Day which features the widest variety of products, made better with 95% off deals, free shipping with no minimum spend and the chance to Spin & Win a Nissan Almera.

Adding to the 3.15 celebrations, Shopee welcomes Dato Pandelela Rinong and Datuk Abdul Latif Romly as its 3.15 brand ambassadors in Malaysia. Both athletes have an incredible track record of overcoming tough odds and dedicating their lives towards putting Malaysia on the world map, serving as an inspiration in the way they accomplish great things by prioritising well-being and celebrating achievements no matter how small. Dato Pandelela has won two Olympic medals and five World Championships medals while Datuk Latif has won two gold medals in the Paralympic Games. He holds the world record for Long Jump T20 until now.

Kenneth Soh, Head of Marketing Campaigns at Shopee Malaysia said, “This Shopee 3.15 Consumer Day, we want to celebrate you. Be kind to yourself. Go at your own pace, celebrate the small wins and reward yourself. To better serve our consumers, we first have to understand what Malaysians have been buying since 2019.”  “At Shopee, we always put consumers at the heart of what we do, so we consistently innovate new initiatives and campaigns such as the 3.15 Consumer Day to better fulfil their needs” he added.


Understanding Malaysian shopping trends

As more people are accustomed to staying at home, Shopee noticed that many are looking to improve and prioritise themselves in terms of health, well-being and to destress. As such, there was 6 times increase in demand for Self-Care Products on the platform in 2021, compared to 2019, before the pandemic. Physical wellness, environmental self-care, and social well-being were seen to be the top three self-care trends, as Shopee witnessed an impressive 10 times growth of demand related to better home and living.

As Malaysians paid more attention to their physical wellness, Shopee noted that 42% of self-care items sold last year pertained to personal grooming, supplements, exercise equipment, cooking and baking supplies, sleepwear, and bath and spa. Due to Malaysians spending more time home with families, Shopee observed a 12 times uplift for snacks and 13 times increase in cooking and baking supplies in 2021 as compared to 2019.

Malaysians were also more and more into environmental self-care, to create a healthier living environment at home. They started new DIY projects, put some new wallpapers on, and grew indoor plants among other activities. This is mirrored by the 12 times increase in demand for home improvement items over 2 years.

Looking at social well-being, more Malaysians are open to the idea of having a furry companion at home as the demand for pet supplies grew 13 times in the space of two years from 2019 to 2021, as owners treat their pets with grooming, homes, pet food and treats and even fashion and accessories. Taking a deeper dive into keyword searches data in self-care trends, Shopee noted that ‘keropok’ was searched nearly 7 times more in 2020 and over 25 times more in 2021, both as compared to 2019.

‘Kids books’ has also been one of the more popular keyword searches with over 11 times increase in 2020 compared to 2019, as moms and dads turned to Shopee to inculcate reading at a young age. Additionally, since the launch of ShopeeFood in September 2021, the ‘bubble tea’ keyword search grew by more than 7 times by December last year, signalling a growing trend among Malaysians to reward themselves with some sweet treats through food delivery.

As part of the Shopee 3.15 Consumer Day, Shopee will also launch its #ShopeeCelebratesYou activation to bring more cheer to users across the 3.15 period. Happening daily on Shopee Live till 15 March, users also get to play a game that will keep them on the edge of their seats, called Sampul Misteri. Lucky Callers will be required to answer a Question of the Day to unlock an envelope and stand a chance to walk away with grand cash prizes. Viewers can guess which envelope contains the grand cash prize before the show and stand a chance to win Shopee Coins with the correct guess.

What Other Types Of Auto Insurance Coverage Are Typical ?

If you're in the hunt for auto insurance, shopping around is essential, and you also need to understand the different types of auto insurance policies available. If you have never bought auto insurance before, comprehending what is and is not covered can be pretty baffling. Though they may look alike, these policies are very different in the cover they provide and are available to help protect you, your passengers, and your vehicle if you're involved in a road mishap. Luckily, auto insurance is not as confusing as it may seem; with little research, you can be confident of making the right decisions for your needs. This post is put together to help you understand the most typical auto insurance coverage types but first, let's talk about the basics of car insurance.

Understanding The Basics Of Car Insurance

Car insurance is a contract between you and your insurer. The policy protects you against financial loss if involved in an accident or the car was stolen. Instead of paying a premium, these unfortunate incidents happen, the insurance company pays for your losses as outlined in your policy. Your car insurance policy provides coverage for:
  • Property – such as damage to your car and in case it was stolen
  • Liability – your legal responsibility to third parties for bodily injury or property damage
  • Medical – the cost of treating injuries, rehabilitation, and other medical expenses
It's mandatory by the law in Malaysia to carry an auto insurance policy while driving on public roads, and these coverages are priced individually. This allows you to customize coverage amounts to suit your exact needs and budget.

Auto insurance policies are normally issued for six-month or one-year periods and are renewable. The insurer sends you a notice when your insurance has expired and it's time for renewal. So now, let us talk about the three types of insurance coverage available in Malaysia.

Third-Party Insurance Policy


This is the most basic auto insurance policy that any insurance company in Malaysia offers. The third-party protection plan is limited; therefore, it has the lowest premium plan compared to other policies.

In Malaysia, it is required by the law to carry at least a third-party plan if you own a vehicle or a motorcycle. When a car is purchased, it's essential to purchase an auto insurance policy for the car, without being allowed on public roads. The policy protects you against any third-party claims against any injury or death caused by you. The third-party policy also protects you against any damage to third-party property caused by you.

Third-Party Fire And Theft Insurance Policy


Third-Party Fire and Theft policy looks similar to third-party policy except that it covers a little more than just a third-party claim. Besides protecting you against injuries or death and losses or damages to the third-party, the third-party fire and theft policy also protects your car against damages due to accidental fire or if the car is stolen. It is worthy of understanding that third-party fire and theft policy only protects your car against loss or damages due to accidental fire and theft and also to third parties but does not cover you and your car in case of any other accident. So, this implies that can only make a claim for events such as:
  • Stolen vehicle
  • Damages or loss due to fire
  • Damages due to attempted theft such as broken windows

Comprehensive Coverage Insurance Policy


This policy offers the widest auto insurance coverage for vehicles. A comprehensive insurance policy protects you against all claims mentioned above and protects you against your car's loss and damages during an accident.

Shopee: Malaysians Are Taking Self-care More Seriously

Shopee Malaysia data indicates that Malaysians are better adapted to feeling joy and showing appreciation to themselves in a post-pandemic world. More Malaysians are going online for their self-care needs, according to shopping data observed by Shopee Malaysia. Since the pandemic began, demand for products that help shoppers improve their well-being, reward themselves, and reduce stress has increased by 6 times on the platform. 


In 2021, Shopee has found that physical and environmental wellness rank among Malaysians' top needs when shopping online. In particular, 42% of products bought focused on physical wellness, 26% environmental wellness, 25% social well-being, with the remaining for psychological and spiritual wellness.

“These findings highlight how Malaysians' preferred ways of taking care of their well-being have evolved over the last two years, signaling the rise of new opportunities for self-discovery and personal growth. We are pleased to have been able to support Malaysians every step of the way, to help them discover what they need,” said Kenneth Soh, Head of Marketing Campaigns at Shopee Malaysia


Malaysians are putting physical well-being as their top priority. Compared to 2019, Malaysians were 6 times more interested in purchasing items related to eating well, exercising, personal grooming, and personal hygiene. Personal grooming items were the most popular subcategory for physical self-care, with approximately one-third of these consisting of skincare products such as face masks, face scrubs and peels, makeup, facial oils, essence and serums.

Malaysians’ appear to be prioritizing more environmental self-care by creating healthier living environments, because demand for home improvement, decoration, and home organization increased the most at 10 times in the last two years on Shopee’s marketplace since 2019. For example, DIY supplies, fragrance and candles, artificial flowers and plants, wallpapers and wall art, shelf racks, desk organizers and storage baskets. This may not be surprising as many people would have had to reevaluate their living spaces if they spent more time working, home-schooling, or pursuing indoor related hobbies at home.

Looking at social well-being growth trends, Malaysians demanded 5 times more products to educate or nurture babies and pets in the last 2 years. Items sold related to pet supplies grew the fastest in this category, with pet toys, pet grooming, pet fashion, pet homes and pet accessories increasing 13 times from 2019 to 2021.

Shopee has also seen Malaysians gaining higher interest in learning new skills and cultivating hobbies such as reading, journaling, playing board games, and playing musical instruments, which provide a form of digital detox and promoting better psychological self-care. Items sold related to such hobbies have since grown an impressive 6 times in the last two years.

Malaysians are also embracing self-care offline, using digital payments. For the full year 2021 compared to pre-covid 2019, the adoption of ShopeePay, Shopee’s integrated mobile wallet, for self-care categories orders increased the most for sports and outdoor products, games, books and hobbies, and health and beauty. The highest uptake was for games, books, and hobbies, with a 60 times increase in adoption.
