85 THE BEAUTY SPOT
Bright idea
Jennifer Rock has brought the insights from her online skincare consultancy to Skingredients, a capsule of essentials that work for all, numbered in the order you use them. There’s the core four – PreProbiotic Cleanser, €25; Skin Veg, €42 (your skin’s 10+ a day); Skin Protein, €42; plus broad spectrum SPF 50, and three products to mix for specific concerns. “No matter your skin type, we all need the same nutrients,” says Jennifer. “I started looking at the main generic skincare issues and the ingredients to combat them; that’s where Skingredients came from.” Available in pharmacies and department stores from June 6.
