Beauty Memo.
THIS MONTH WE’VE DISCOVERED THE LATEST WRINKLE FIGHTING, UVA PROTECTING, STRESS CONTROLLING AND COLLAGEN FORTIFYING SKINCARE TO ADD TO OUR BEAUTY ARSENAL – THE BATTLE IS ON.
moisture crusade
Plumping, smoothing, hydrating – all words we want to hear when it comes to skincare. The new moisturiser on Chanel’s block promises that and more. It’s light, has a floral scent and skin soaks it up in seconds. Tick, tick and tick. Hydra Beauty Micro Crème Dhs444 Chanel
fatigue fighter
We always launch this beauty weapon in to action after a late night out. The soothing mask is like an express facial and when we say express we mean we look fresher, brighter and more even-toned – in three minutes flat. Trust us on this one, it’s like an IV health drip without the needle. Express Flower Gel Mask Dhs500 Sisley
eye for an eye
Vitamin A, otherwise known as retinol, is an extremely potent ingredient when it comes to fighting wrinkles. Dermalogica has added 0.1% of this powerful anti-ageing tool to its existing eye cream. In this case, more is more. AGE Smart Reversal eye cream Dhs309 Dermalogica
serve and protect
An oily base, clogged pores and an unflattering white veil over our derma is often the case when wearing an SPF under our foundation. This month look to the skin experts at Bioderma for a liquid-to-powder foundation. The lightweight formula with SPF50+ absorbs excess oils for up to eight hours and glides on for an ultra-matte and natural finish. Photoderm NUDE Touch SPF50+ Dhs139 Bioderma available at leading pharmacies in the UAE
no stress
In Japan this month, the fleeting cherry blossom petals tumble down, reminding us that, like life, time passes us by quickly. Time to take a moment for yourself – scrub the day away with this sweet scrub and spiritz this relaxing body mist to meditate your stresses away. The Ritual of Sakura gift set Dhs230 Rituals
