ANTI-AGEING HEROES
Hold back the years with these wrinkle-busting buys – starting from just £4.50
FADE DARK SPOTS
Pollution isn’t just from fumes and big cities
– even sitting in front of a screen is a form of indoor pollution. And it all adds up to make our complexions look aged. This new launch combines antioxidant vitamin C with niacinamide and salicylic acid to shield skin and leave it looking radiant. Apply in the morning, every two to three days. GARNIER SKINACTIVE VITAMIN C ANTI-DARK SPOT SERUM, £11.99
HYDRATE THIRSTY, SAGGING SKIN
Dehydrated skin is more prone to dullness and sagging – keep your complexion radiant and plump with superhydrators like hyaluronic acid and squalane. This bargain serum combines both to leave skin feeling plump and bouncy after just a few uses. Apply after cleansing, before moisturiser, daily.
ESSENCE HELLO, GOOD STUFF!
PRIMER SERUM, £4.50
BANISH SUN DAMAGE
Around 80% of signs of ageing are a result of sun damage – wrinkles, age spots and sagging skin are worsened by UVA rays. Prevention is better than cure, so get militant about using a highfactor SPF every morning, even on cloudy days. Sun protection has come a long way – this one sits well under make-up, and won’t clog up pores. CERAVE FACIAL MOISTURISING LOTION SPF25, £13
PLUMP UP SKIN OVERNIGHT
Skin cells turn over much quicker when we’re asleep, making it a great time to incorporate some clever ingredients. When we sleep, we’re in a “controlled” environment, so skin can focus on renewing and absorbing ingredients from skincare. This new launch blends hyaluronic acid with antioxidants to hydrate, plump and brighten.
L’ORÉAL PARIS AGE PERFECT CELL RENEWAL MIDNIGHT SERUM, £24.99
BRIGHTEN DULLNESS
Exfoliating acids sound scarier than they are. In reality, they help melt away dead skin cells and encourage age spots and hyperpigmentation to fade. Try this cult toner, which uses glycolic acid to banish dullness, leaving skin instantly perkier. Apply to a cotton pad and sweep over skin daily after cleansing.
