Beauty editor Simone Wu’s picks for this month.
Prime Time
Your skin goes into repair-and-regenerate mode when you sleep, and you can boost these functions by using skincare dedicated for night-time use. Go for lightweight, absorbent formulas that won’t mess up your pillowcase, such as:
1 The Body Shop Oils Of Life Intensely Revitalising Sleeping Cream, $59.90 (80ml). The refreshing cream-gel revitalises and nourishes with three seed-oil blends and seven essential oils.
2 Philosophy Ultimate Miracle Worker Night, $120 (50ml). Mix the pack of pink pearls filled with antioxidant-rich iris extract into the retinol cream thoroughly before you start using this. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, as well as boosts cell renewal for clearer, firmer skin.
3 Skinceuticals Resveratrol B E, $248 (30ml). The serum promotes skin’s natural repair system to diminish the signs of accumulated damage with its powerful antioxidant blend of resveratrol, baicalin and vitamin E.
4 For Beloved One Melasleep Brightening Lumi’s Key Jelly, $85 (50ml). This leave-on gel mask inhibits dark spot production, and calms, hydrates as well as brightens skin to leave it plumped up and radiant.
“The creamy, easy-to- blend Elizabeth Arden Sunset Bronze Prismatic Highlighter, $59, adds a warm, healthy glow to my skin. I keep it in my handbag for on-the-go touch-ups.”
“On nights when I get to bed really late, I drink a bottle of Fancl Tense Up, $58 (10 x 50ml bottles), before I hit the sack to give my skin an overall boost. The vitamin-rich beauty supplement contains tri-peptide collagen molecules that are said to be small enough to pass through the digestive system to reach your skin.”
Makeup Essential
By Terry Sun Designer Palette in #1 Tan & Flash Cruise, $115, comes with three blusher shades, as well as three bronzer/highlighter powders to light up your skin. We like that all six colours can double as eyeshadows, so you can save space in your makeup pouch or office desk.
