SOLUTIONS For fresh and glowing skin, arm yourself with these targeted products to fight telltale signs of wear.
Wrinkle Warrior
L’oréal Paris’s new Skin Expert Age Perfect Dual Elixir contains a combination of French white truffle extract to stimulate the regeneration of new cells, while antioxidant Natecium protects skin from ultraviolet radiation. It promises to lessen the look of wrinkles and pigmentation over time, and help you achieve more toned-looking skin.
Renewing Remedy
Just launched in Sephora, Algenist’s Power Recharging Night Serum contains a highly- concentrated formula of alguronic acid, algae protein and coconut water to combat fine lines, wrinkles and dull skin. Apply every night for a smoother, suppler complexion. $132
Fatigue Fighter
If your complexion is looking dull and stressed, it’s important to hit it with a dose of hydration. Try a moisturiser with Vitamin C, which slows down the rate of free-radical damage and brightens the skin’s surface – like Vichy’s Idéalia Lumière Illuminating Moisture Cream. $52
Marine Miracle
Featuring a replenishing blend of Moroccan argan oil, sesame seed and apricot kernel oil, the Hydra Marine Nourishing Oil from Crabtree & Evelyn’s La Source range can be used to nourish even the driest skin conditions. You can even apply the lightweight formula to your hair for a glossier mane. Another major plus: it smells like a beach holiday! $53
