The new year is right around the corner, bringing with it a fresh opportunity to reset, refresh, and do better for ourselves.
If you’re the type who starts the year with resolutions in mind, Guardian is here to make sticking to them a little easier.
From 1 to 28 Jan 2026, they’re rolling out their 3-for-2 Mix & Match deal across more than 4,000 products, spanning health, beauty, and wellness essentials.
There are also gifts, vouchers, and a chance to win a generous stash of rewards points along the way, so you might say luck is already on your side even before the Year of the Horse trots in.
Chinese New Year (CNY) is all about reunion dinners, festive snacks, and, for married couples, preparing red packets. Lots of them.
From 1 Jan to 25 Feb 2026, spend S$88 in a single receipt at any Guardian store (excluding Changi Airport, hospitals, and Marina Bay Sands) or online, and you’ll receive a complimentary set of festive red packets to help you spread the joy this CNY.
DBS and POSB cardholders enjoy an added perk, needing only a minimum spend of S$68 to qualify. As with all good things, these ang bao packets are available while stocks last, so it’s best not to leave your shopping to the last minute.
To sweeten the deal further, you’ll also receive an S$8 return voucher and an S$16 online voucher, giving you more reasons to come back for your health, beauty, and wellness must-haves.
Plus, qualifying purchases give you a shot at winning 1.1 million yuu Points worth S$5,600, redeemable across a wide range of online and in-store retailers. Not a bad way to kick off 2026.
Getting older is inevitable, but looking tired doesn’t have to be. Especially when Guardian’s ongoing 3-for-2 Mix & Match event gives you a good excuse to refresh your skincare routine or experiment with products you’ve had your eye on.
Go beyond basic cleansing with the Cetaphil Exfoliating Salicylic Acid Cleanser (U.P. S$25.65), which gently unclogs pores and removes excess oil and dead skin while preserving the skin barrier. The result is skin that feels soft, smooth, and refreshed.
If dark spots and acne marks are a concern, the Garnier Bright Complete Booster Serum (U.P. S$28.80) may be worth adding to your routine.
Formulated with concentrated vitamin C and Japanese yuzu lemon, it helps combat dullness and fade marks in as fast as three days, while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin.
For those whose top New Year’s resolution is anti-ageing, the Bio-essence Bio-Vlift Radiant Youth Essence Oil (U.P. S$52.50) boosts the skin’s ability to repair, renew, and replenish itself.
Infused with pure green tea essence, it also helps protect the skin and slow visible signs of ageing, including wrinkles, while delivering deep nourishment.
If you’re looking to address both pigmentation and ageing concerns, the Eucerin Spotless Brightening Booster Serum (U.P. S$79.90) helps reduce dark spots and prevent their reappearance, promoting a more even, radiant, and youthful-looking complexion over time.
With these babies in your skincare bag, you’ll be well-prepared for close-up selfies during visitations, even under harsh lighting and the scrutiny of kaypoh aunties.
Once your skincare routine is sorted, it’s time to lock in that glow from daytime visitations to evening catch-ups.
The BioNike Defence Hydractive Moisturising Cream-Gel (U.P. S$90.80) offers up to 48 hours of hydration with a hyaluronic acid complex, while antioxidants help shield skin from UV rays and pollution.
It also contains carnosine, which helps protect against premature ageing caused by blue light, a daily reality for anyone glued to screens.
To get one step closer to that flawless K-pop star complexion, the SKINTIFIC Cover Glow Perfect Cushion (U.P. S$25.55) delivers a breathable, weightless finish that soft-blurs pores and texture, while staying radiant for up to 10 hours.
And with the 3-for-2 promo, you can easily stock up on both items without worrying about running out anytime soon.
And don’t forget the rest of your body. The CeraVe Daily Moist Lotion (S$35.92, U.P. S$44.90) provides 24-hour hydration and helps restore the skin’s protective barrier in a lightweight, non-greasy formula that suits Singapore’s humid climate.
Skincare is just one part of overall well-being. Whether staying active is a brand new habit or one you’re maintaining, pain shouldn’t be what holds you back.
For muscle and joint pain, sprains, or tendon inflammation, the Salonpas Diclofenac Patches (S$9.90) deliver targeted relief that can last up to 24 hours, thanks to an anti-inflammatory ingredient commonly taken orally.
For stiff necks and sore shoulders, whether from gym sessions or long hours at your desk, the Tiger Balm Neck & Shoulder Boost (S$8.15, U.P. S$10.20) offers stronger relief than the classic version, helping muscles relax so you can keep moving.
Those prone to knee discomfort may also appreciate the Ebene Bio-Ray Extra Strength Knee Guard (S$40.85, U.P. S$54.50).
This reusable support generates heat, improves circulation, and provides firm yet gentle stabilisation, making it useful for active individuals or as a thoughtful gift for elderly loved ones dealing with persistent knee pain.
Achieving personal goals takes time, effort, consistency, and — if we’re being honest — a bit of spending. Fortunately, self-improvement doesn’t always have to come with a hefty price tag.
With value-driven deals that help stretch your dollar, Guardian makes it easier to invest in yourself while keeping your budget in check.
