With the cosmetic industry boosting the beauty quotient with products that are becoming increasingly specific for skin types, age and even climes, you better be armed with products that are trending this season.
Blot it out
If your skin has a way of bringing out oil at the first sign of sun on your face, you could do those pores a favour with Murad MattEffect Blotting Perfector. Designed as a cushion compact, the Perfector contains a serum that can absorb grease and instantly refresh and set it with this liquid blotting formula. You could use it as a touch up all through the day, or use on bare skin for a natural, matte look; it absorbs oil, minimises pores and perfects the skin. It works on all skin tones.
Prime time
Bad face day, like a bad hair day, can make all the tasks seem dull and boring, even wearisome if you have formal meetings or business luncheons lined up. You need an instant complexion refresh, which is assured by Becca First Light Priming Filter; it lives up to its skin-awakening claim by instantly erasing all signs of a bad day. The primer will add a cool lavender cast to your skin, removing any signs of dullness and fatigue.
Face boost
Renew and rejuvenate is what the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Concentrate promises to do with Glyco-Repair, which is said to boost skin’s production of natural growth factors. If it delivers as it promises, this will help reduce your fine lines and wrinkles.
Moisture bomb
Don’t overdo…that’s the message to heed with Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb Hydrating Lotion. This 3-in-1 feeling protected from heat and humidity. Packed with extracts of antioxidants amla and pomegranate, it creates a fresh texture on the skin.
Power fabric
Not just any foundation, this… It is a high cover foundation! Called Giorgio Armani Power Fabric Longwear High-Cover Foundation SPF 25, it comes in 20 shades to suit different skin tones, offering perfect cover with sun protection, and a matte finish that lasts a full day. It is a concentration of oils with no greasy effect, which delivers a velvet matte finish.
Dynamic lift
It’s all about antiageing with Shiseido Bio-Performance LiftDynamic Cream. This rich moisturising multibenefit cream is designed to energise your skin’s natural restorative ability to give you a youthful look. To be applied both during the day and night, the formula can plump up the facial contours.
Rescue mask
when your sensitive skin displays the stress you are enduring, you could do with the Ren Evercalm ultra–Comforting Rescue Mask, which is described as a super-soothing mask. It is a 10-minute facemask, used three times weekly, to instantly reduce redness, irritation, itchiness and inflammation.
Hydro boost
Imperfections can be masked, and how… Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Concealer, a thirst quencher for your skin, will help mask imperfections by applying flawlessly on to the skin. Its non-greasy, lightweight formula will easily glide on your skin, giving it a smooth and natural looking cover.
