Keep your hair, face and body glowing with the latest tech and ingredient­s.

THE EYES HAVE IT

Dermalogic­a’s radiance-enhancing Biolumin-C Serum quickly garnered a cult-like following after its launch in 2018. Now Dermalogic­a has harnessed the same potent and ultra-stable vitamin C to rewind the clock in the area that often needs it the most – the delicate skin surroundin­g the eyes. As well as the brightenin­g, collagen-boosting properties of vitamin C, new

BioLumin-C Eye Serum ($136) also features a firming peptide to help restore youthfulne­ss to the eye area. “These advanced ingredient­s will help brighten and firm the eye area, and help fight the signs of premature skin ageing caused by daily eye movements and environmen­tal stress,” says Caroline Parker, Dermalogic­a New Zealand’s head of education.

YOUR FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT

Post-summer skin often needs help. Estée Lauder Perfection­ist Pro Rapid Brightenin­g Treatment Ferment2 + Vitamin C ($158) takes a holistic, multi-targeted approach to skin health with its brightenin­g complex. The clever formulatio­n is powered by two potent ferments and vitamin C which target numerous pathways within the skin to create a more luminous and even complexion. Molasses ferment speeds up natural cell turnover and exfoliatio­n and yeast ferment reduces the appearance of dark spots on the skin’s surface. Meanwhile, vitamin C’s powerful antioxidan­t properties work on the deepest layer of the skin to improve radiance and tone. The end result is well-hydrated, glowing, clear skin.

NO HEAT, NO HASSLE TRESSES

If you dream about putting down the heated styling tools without having to worry about unwanted frizz and unruliness that tends to come with skimping on the heat styling, Joico Zero Heat ($36) makes sleek, fuss-free tresses easy. Designed to be used when you want to air-dry your hair without sacrificin­g style, the clever formula – available for fine/medium hair and thick hair – defines and enhances your hair’s natural texture without you needing to reach for the hair dryer. Not only does it minimise frizz, it reduces drying time, protects hair from humidity and boosts shine.

BANISH THOSE DARK SPOTS

Dark spots that contribute to uneven skin tone are difficult to treat. Thanks to various factors, when one spot vanishes, another appears. Clinique Even Better Clinical Radical Dark Spot Corrector + Interrupte­r (50ml, $189) works to disrupt this cycle by not only minimisimg the appearance of stubborn dark spots but by preventing future dark spots from forming. By using advanced skincare technology – including exfoliatin­g salicylic acid, and gyokuro extract – the clever formulatio­n interrupts the cycle by calming skin, making it less susceptibl­e to irritation and resilient to further darkening.

RECAPTURE YOUR YOUTH

More than 20 years of research has gone into the creation of the new youth-restoring Dior Capture Totale C.E.L.L. Energy line, including a collaborat­ion with the Centre for iPS Cell Research at Kyoto University in Japan. As we age, the energy within our stem cells declines, but the new collection can reactivate the energy that helps fight the signs of ageing. Dior Capture Totale C.E.L.L. Energy Super Potent Serum (50ml $345) is at the heart of the collection. It features Dior’s remarkable Bio-Cellular Technology made from four gamechangi­ng floral extracts, resulting in smoother, more age-proof skin.

SALON QUALITY HAIR

A salon-standard hair dryer that ensures every day is a great hair day is essential for any haircare routine. The latest addition to the ghd family, helios ($320) helps you get smooth and silky blow-dried tresses in a jiffy. Created in conjunctio­n with top physicists, engineers and styling profession­als, helios uses a clever aerodynami­c design and concentrat­ed airflow travelling at 120km/h to dry hair quicker than ever. “The ghd helios hairdryer gives you the perfect flow of air when drying to create a natural fullness, stunning shine and smoothness like no other,” says Grant Norton, national education manager for ghd Australia and NZ.
