When it comes to skincare, the first thought on our minds would be beauty products such as serums, creams, and masks. However, beauty experts and even researchers have stated that drinking more water can be just as crucial for your skin's health.
The tourists will be allowed to return to Sabah any time soon, the Mayor stressed. “We are briefing them (Malaysian authorities) on the incident,” Faizal said.

The seizure of the tourists’ two speedboats would also be lifted.
