You glow girl!
Radiant skin is always in and in summertime most especially. Lately I have been trialing new launches and I must admit to being super impressed with some of them.
This is the time of year when typically we wear less makeup, and due to heat and humidity as well as extra sunblock, our skin can get a little more congested. Regular facials and masking at home can really improve this.
Keeping your skincare routine consistent and respecting what it is trying to tell you will make the world of difference. Having clearer skin is such a confidence boost and your makeup is certainly more easily applied. Good skin is partly products and partly consistency, so I have included some of my favourite boosters this week.
Sheet masks are a quick and cost-effective way of doing a mini facial at home. One of my absolute favourites is Seoulista Diamond Radiance Instant Facial (€14.95) which improves the tone of the skin, helping to reveal a bright and glowing complexion. The high-performance formula, combines peptides, AHAs and glittering gem powders to exfoliate and brighten the skin to reveal a glowing complexion.
Along with the high-performance ingredients, Diamond Radiance has over seven botanical ingredients in the advanced clinic formulation. Some of those include: avocado oil - rich in vitamin D and E, providing a nourishing and moisturising skin plumping boost to the skin; rose hip oil is a natural anti-inflammatory which helps to decrease environmental damage and repairs and soothes the skin’s surface and coconut extract is anti-bacterial and helps to soothe skin inflammation and fight acne infections.
A healthy clear, radiant complexion in just 20 minutes can be yours with Diamond Radiance Instant Facial.
Rose Radiance Cream by Clarins (€91) is a beautiful pink tinted gel-cream with a fresh texture and luminous finish.
It contains four different mother of pearl shades which will reflect white light evenly and adapt to all skin tones, leaving your skin with a subtle and healthy glow. It is easily absorbed and will ensure your complexion feels comfortable, moisturised and plump all day long.
It is suitable for mature skin and is cooling. With a light fresh peach, peony and green rose scent, it’s a real luxury to apply and offers an anti-ageing, biological gentle daily exfoliation action as well as protecting the skin from harmful environmental effects thanks to its special anti-pollution complex and vitamin C, the anti-aging miracle.
Combining seven plant extracts to revive and illuminate your skin’s youthfulness including three glow-boosting ingredients, the super restorative Rose Radiance Cream will target dull, ageing complexions suffering from problems such as firmness, dryness, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles.
Harungana is included to help to reactive the metabolic functions of skin cells to help with increasing the synthesis of collagen fibres; this will help to strengthen the skin and slow down any skin sagging for a firmer and smoother complexion.
Skin is further replenished thanks to an anti-ageing tetrapeptide included in the formula that will encourage the renewal of epidermal cells.
Image Skincare IMask Purifying Probiotic Mask (€54) fortifies the skin and balances its naturally occurring flora, helps to detoxify the skin, decongest pores and refine skin texture, supports resistance to imbalance and dehydration, minimises shine and helps skin feel soft, smooth and healthy.
It's perfect for imbalanced or environmentally challenged skin, congested and blemish-prone skin with excess oil.
A fortifying probiotic mask that balances the skin and helps it resist dehydration and imbalance. Rich in yogurt-based probiotics that support the skin’s naturally occurring flora, along with vitamins, minerals and a blend of super fruit antioxidants to nourish the skin and leave it radiant and glowing.
The purifying benefits of green clay and activated charcoal absorb impurities from the skin, delivering optimal hydration, clarity and balance. In clinical tests, 93 per cent of users reported that the mask detoxified their skin, 93 per cent reported that their skin felt balanced, and 80 per cent reported that their skin looked less oily after one application.
