Dust up
Whether you’re looking for an inner or outer glow, the new breed of “beauty powders” promises to make the world of difference.
If you’re e not already including a “beauty dust” in your morning smoothie or in your skincare regimen, it may be time to get the hang of adding a pinch here and a dash there. With the promise of health benefits, courtesy of cleansing, detoxifying and vitamin-enriched potions in easy-to-use sachets, and glowing skin, it’s no wonder beauty elixirs have gained a cult following recently.
“If you’re working toward more radiant and glowing skin, you might be surprised to know that the answer lies more in your digestive tract than on how much you’re spending on creams and cleansers,” claims Beauty Chef founder Carla Oates, who offers bio-fermented powders that target everything from sleep issues to cleansing. “Our guts are where 70 per cent of our immune system lies, where we metabolise hormones, neutralise pathogens and make detoxifying enzymes. All of these things can wreak havoc on our skin if they are not in balance.”
Vida Glow’s marine collagen supplements come in handy packetfuls of goodness, supporting collagen production naturally. If the idea of adding a powder to your diet seems a little too much to begin with, Clinique has devised an easy-to- use powder cleansing system designed to amp up and simplify your daily face wash.
