Say hello to hyaluronic
If there is one super ingredient that has been praised to high heaven, it is hyaluronic acid. A compound found naturally in our own skin, it has over the last number of years become a staple in everything from body washes to serums. We cannot deny that the secret to anti-aging has always been plump nourished skin. This is easily achieved topically with some key products which you can add to your existing regime especially as autumn approaches.
Neostrata Skin Active Hyaluronic Luminous Lift 50ml, €78.95
A lightweight luxurious gel cream that plumps and hydrates while leaving the skin looking bright and fresh. Luminous Lift incorporates a mix of the three primary types of hyaluronic acid. Lower-weight molecules dive deep down, addressing fine lines, wrinkles, and skin elasticity. These molecules help create healthy, happy skin in the long-term. Medium-weight molecules help you retain moisture slightly below the skin’s barrier. Higher-weight molecules are much larger and won’t penetrate the skin deeply, meaning they stay on the skin’s surface. They make skin look super-hydrated and plump, and help the outer skin layer hold on to the moisture it already has in the short-term, offering an immediate plumped effect. The net effect is skin that looks and feels great instantly while providing long-term healthier and younger-looking skin.
Pestle and Mortar Pure Hyaluronic Serum, €43
Pestle & Mortar Pure Hyaluronic Serum is a lightweight serum that quickly soaks into the skin leaving it velvety smooth and soft to the touch. This serum tackles dryness, ageing and fine lines while making the skin look fresh, plump and luminous. It is suitable for all age groups and can be used morning and evening. Bringing the clear serum down the neck and onto your chest is also essential. This will ensure bright and hydrated skin all year round. To seal in the humectant properties, use a moisturiser over it.
