Having had a couple of facials over the last year (a rare indulgence for me) I have discovered SkinCeuticals (advanced professional skincare range). You won’t find their products in your local chemists as is sold either directly online or through stockists and beauticians. Seen as I’m about to hit the big 40 (!) I thought it was time to start investing in something a little more robust than the usual high street products.
As part of my daily routine I use the luxurious eye balm which has really helped reduce fine lines. It is apparently specifically formulated to counter the three prime signs of aging – moisture loss, collagen breakdown, and free radical damage. A natural anti-inflammatory is added to reduce the appearance of under-eye puffiness, while a soothing agent derived from the chamomile plant calms irritated skin. I love it!
I use the Serum 10 and Hydrating B5 in a morning under my moisturiser. Serum 10 neutralises free radicals, defends against environmental damage, and helps prevent premature signs of ageing. The serum also combines ferulic acid with 10% pure vitamin C to enhance antioxidant performance.
Hydrating B5 is enriched with vitamin B5, which is known to help with tissue repair, Hydrating B5 replenishes nutrients the skin needs to feel smooth and appear younger. This moisture-enhancing gel contains hyaluronic acid, the body’s natural hydrator, to bind moisture to the skin.
Finally at night I use the Retexturing Activator. The serum harnesses two polar mechanisms — exfoliation and hydration — to activate skin’s regeneration response, visibly diminishing surface lines and transforming skin’s fabric into a smoother, softer texture.
The products are understandably not cheap (the eye balm alone was £64.00) but they do last about four months and I have noticed an overall improvement in my skin’s appearance, so for me it’s worth the investment!
