Bare Beauty

Your time to shine? Extra attention to nourishing your complexion and the occasional facial or professional treatment can work wonders for skin confidence.

ADD A SERUM

Skincare serums are designed to deliver high concentrations of active ingredients to the skin to bring about visible improvement. They can be a game-changer for improving specific skin conditions, so choose a product for its specific ingredients – but if you just want to plump out lines and achieve an instant hydrated glow, a serum loaded with hyaluronic acid will increase skin’s ability to hold on to moisture. Lancôme’s Advanced Génifique Face Serum and Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex are two perennially fantastic, all-rounder options that will suit most people.

TWEAK YOUR DIET

Important nutrients for skin health include vitamins A, C, and E – all powerful antioxidants that protect against oxidative stress and inflammation. Increase your intake of fresh fruit and vegetables and whole foods as well as omegas found in the likes of fatty fish, and try to avoid processed foods and excess sugar.

GOING DEEPER

Professional skin treatments that tackle the deeper layers of skin, adding hydration or prompting them to naturally work harder at producing collagen and elastin, like injectable Profhilo or microneedling treatment Dermapen, give a renewed look to your complexion.

FINESSE THE FINE LINES

The ‘Baby Botox’ trend has nothing to do with actual babies and everything to do with the way experts can deliver the smallest amounts of wrinkle-relaxing injectables that can help counter crow’s feet, a down-turned mouth or those common ‘11’ shaped creases between brows that can give a perpetually angry appearance.
