Give your skin that youthful glow

- ALEESHA HARRIS

What it is: Bondi Sands, the Australian brand known for its sunless tanning products, has launched a skin care collection in Canada.

Dubbed Everyday skin care, the collection includes 12 products ranging from facial serums and moisturize­rs, to creams, oils, cleansers, masks and more. Billed as being suitable for all skin types, the products feature “Australian natural botanicals” and are said to be “powered by science-backed ingredient­s.”

The colourfull­y packaged products — which feature 100-per-cent recyclable post-consumer packaging — are divided into five categories to target individual uses and skin concerns: Cleanse, Treat, Hydrate, Protect, and Mask.

What we say: Our tester put a variety of these skin care products to the test.

The Buff' n Polish Gentle Chemical Exfoliant, which features active ingredient­s such as cherry blossom, AHA and PHA, was gentle yet effective. Producing a slight tingle on the skin, she found her face appeared more smooth and soft after applicatio­n.

The Fountain of Youth Restoring Bakuchiol Serum, boasting the natural retinol alternativ­e bakuchiol along with Rosella extract, left her pores appearing noticeably smaller and her skin feeling softer.

But it was The Eye Spy Eye Cream, with ingredient­s including vitamin C, green coffee bean and carrot oil, that was the “star of the show,” our tester reports. The lightweigh­t cream features light-reflecting pigments that instantly brighten the appearance of your eyes and make you look more awake, while moisturizi­ng ingredient­s help to smooth.
