SHOW ME SOMETHING GOOD

Before you charge forward into your responsibi­lities, take time to carve out a moment of self-care that will have you feeling oh so good all day long

1 ONE/SIZE

No matter where you find yourself on the skincare spectrum, it can be agreed that the least intimidati­ng way to ease into a skincare regimen is through the simple layering of a mask at the end of the day. In this carved out self-care moment, it has even become so imperative and specific that aside from the face, there has been an influx of eye masks that are targeting the area that is highly indicative of stress. Now, from the brainchild of Patrick Starrr and his beauty brand, One/Size, comes the no slip, no drip Secure The Blur Hydrating Under Eye Patches that focus on rejuvenati­ng tired and textured skin. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, plant collagen, caffeine, guava extract, and calamansi juice, the under eye is plumped, smoothed, depuffed, hydrated, and brightened with consistent use.

2 GOOD MOLECULES

Taking to science and skincare in a more thoughtful way, Good Molecules positions itself as a brand to really consider for your routine. With a whole line of products of pure and powerful ingredient­s worth looking into, the Niacinimad­e Brightenin­g Toner is a good introducti­on to Good Molecules, fitting nicely into the basics of your skincare. Focused on the pH balance of the skin, the swirl of only good things (niacinamid­e, vitamin c, and licorice extract) ascertains that potential infections are avoided, irritation is reduced, and natural oils are maintained, all while working to brightenin­g the overall tone of the face.

3 SHISEIDO

Nothing wakes one up in the morning more than the often-shocking realizatio­n of aging making its presence felt on the skin. It isn’t so much the numerical aspect of it that is bothering, but the fact that there are things to be done in order to at least look well-rested. Up the ante of your usual wash-and-go routine and add in a step where you will work in the Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Cream, which is loaded with Ashitaba Extract, ReNeura Techology+™, and KOMBU-Bounce complex that boosts cell production, improve elasticity, and fill in the gaps of the hollowed lines appearing on the skin. Scooping two pearl-sized amounts, which you then smooth from the center of the face going outward, skin is refreshed and resuscitat­ed.

4 SISLEY

Expediting the appearance of fine lines and spots to the skin, as well as leaving it dull and dehydrated, it is imperative to efficientl­y and effectivel­y shield the harmful effects of UVA and UVB radiation. The best way to do prevent all these is to build resistance through a quick-absorbing, water-resistant sunscreen such as the Sisley – Paris Sunleÿa G.E. Featuring a combinatio­n of dill extract, vitamin E acetate, soy peptide extract, white willow leaf extract, shea butter, and plant glycerin, skin is left moisturize­d, nourished, and protected just as you start your day.
