Essential elixirs
Some women will have a bathroom cupboard full of skincare products while others are quite happy to make do with only a handful of essentials. With new skincare products hitting the shelves almost every day, deciding which products you need and those that your skin can live its best life without can be a thankless task.
While we all have unique skin concerns, every woman should have a few basics in her beauty regimen for great looking skin. From the products you need to use daily and the additional steps that should be taken once or twice a week, we’ve rounded up our favourite products for your skin type.
Here’s a skin routine… and the products your skin can’t live without.
1 2 3 Four Elements is back, this time with its Coco Detox Cleanser. This specially crafted mix helps control the oily texture of your skin and deep cleans its pores making a toxin vacuum.
The brand recently launched two oils, which are a true gift to your everyday skincare routine. The first is its Hydrating Body Oil. This rich elixir seeps into your skin, nourishing and leaving it feeling decadently hydrated, soft and supple with a satiny smooth finish.
Four Elements’ Rose Hip Oil is a personal favourite of ours. Curated with pressed seed oil that is extracted from seeds of the wild rose, it is packed with antioxidants, and vitamins A and C. The oil can be used on your face to help reduce the appearance of acne scars while the fatty acids and vitamin A act as a moisturiser and promote regeneration.
4 5 Cliárá Essential Oils released a couple of products that work like a silent prayer on your skin. The brand prides itself on curating special oil treatments for all skin types – let’s just say they don’t disappoint.
The Lavender essential oil is adored for its calming and soothing aroma; it is beneficial for numerous purposes but is mostly known for its properties of helping to cope with body and mental health conditions. Lavender oil can benefit the skin in various ways – such as reducing acne, helping to brighten the skin, and reducing wrinkles and spots.
What’s even more interesting is that the oil also helps enhance hair health – adding three to five drops into your shampoo can make a noticeable difference to the condition of your hair.
The Tea Tree essential oil is popular for its powerful cleansing, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Tea tree oil is recognised as the most searched essential oil on the internet. It is used in cosmetics and beauty solutions including acne treatments, skin conditions and dandruff issues.
Tea tree oil promotes glowing and flawless skin, treats acne and scars that pop up due to oily skin, and helps overcome skin infections that cause itchy and dry skin issues. Tea tree oil is also one of the best natural remedies for dandruff. Applying the diluted tea tree oil on the scalp and massaging can help improve hair health.
