The best cling ever
The trouble with most sunscreens is that after an hour or so in Hong Kong's summer heat and humidity it feels like you've sweated it all away. Ultrasun Very High 50+ SPF (HK$249, right) claims it will stay put for a day, standing up to water, sweat and even friction (like towelling dry). Its non-greasy, hypo-allergenic and fragrance-free formula protects against sunburn, premature ageing and long-term damage. www.youshine.net
Bobble or nothing
Hong Kong's tap water is safe to drink (if your pipes are clean). But for the extra cautious, the bobble (HK$99, below) reusable bottle will make sure water is free of organic contaminants and meets international standards for chlorine, taste and odour reduction. The bobble's carbon-based filter does the job for 150 litres, before you pop a new one (HK$73) on. www.waterbobble.com
Breathe easy
Indoor air pollution can cause tiredness, general malaise and rhinitis. The Oxyvital Split Unit (HK$21,000 including installation, left) is certified by Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and has been scientifically proven to improve indoor air quality up to World Health Organisation and Hong Kong government standards. Good enough to purify a 1,000 sq ft home. www.oxyvital.com
