The bra also offers full support, so you don’t have to worry about any discomfort while you’re sweating it out.

YOUNG AND FREE

Slow down your skin’s ageing process with this serum from Astarism that’s packed with AstaReal® astaxanthin, an antioxidant derived from freshwater microalgae that protects your cells from oxidative stress. This super ingredient also supports your skin’s natural renewal process, safeguarding it from damage caused by environmental pollutants and UV rays. This in turn prevents wrinkle formation and reduces the development of dark spots.
