How do you like your serum?
IN A CAPSULE… Nobody does capsules better than Elizabeth Arden and the latest has us very excited. Retinol Ceramide Capsules Line Erasing Night Serum, $85
(for 30), mixes retinol, ceramides and peptides together for a skin-smoothing winner. Not only does the capsule keep the formula fresh and potent, but it also ensures that you put the right amount on. IN YOUR HAIR… The trick to really making hair shine is to seal the cuticle so it reflects light better. A good product for the job is Pureology Shine Bright Taming Serum, $ 44, which uses coriander seed oil to smooth frizz and bring back the shine. You’ll also find anti-fade ingredients in here too. AROUND YOUR EYES… For daytime use, serums such as the Trilogy Age-Proof CoQ10 Eye Recovery Concentrate,
$ 40, sit beautifully under make-up where heavier eye creams can make things slide. This one chooses jojoba, macadamia and plant-derived squalene oils to mimic the healthy lipid content of a 22-year-old. Here’s hoping!
The cooling metal applicator feels wonderfully soothing on tired, morning eyes too.
