Best Of Day Skin Care

28-09-2009   


 As the temperature lowers, the skin needs extra care to maintain optimum hydration. Don't make the mistake of foregoing sun protection: it's vital to use a good day moisturiser with an SPF, whatever the season and weather. Combine your day cream with a cleanser suitable for your skin type: if you use a product that's too aggressive your epidermis can become dull and flaky. If you have oily skin and use too rich a cleanser you risk overloading it with oils, causing a break out. Arbonne FC5 Purifying Cleanser+Toner £17 is an ideal face wash and toner combo for sebum-prone skin, www.arbonneinternational.co.uk  . Dr. Tuhin Dev Cleansing Balm £25 works wonders on all skin types, thanks to its effective yet gentle formula. Containing almond and neroli oil, it leaves your skin make up free and hydrated. Follow with Dr Tuhin Dev Core Protect-Day £69.95, a highly moisturising light cream with a fresh herbal fragrance and extracts of watermelon and sea algae to protect from the damaging effects of sun light, preventing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It also contains a low dose of the Syn®-ake compound, to relax facial muscles contractions. Loved by celebrities, this cream is perfect for all skin types. www.drtuhindevskincare.co.uk

Botanics Day Shift Moisture SPF 12, Cream £4.99 contains rice bran proteins and keeps the skin hydrated for 24 hours. Rich and moisturising, it works well on normal, dry, very dry and sensitive skin.
