With the colder weather, skin is more dehydrated, prone to irritation, and also tired and dull. Here, brand founder Irene Forte highlights her morning skincare regime for the winter months.
STEP 1: ALMOND CLEANSING MILK
“At this time of year, I recommend a cream-based and sulfate-free cleanser; sulfates can be harsh and strip the skin of its naturally hydrating oils. The cleansing step is incredibly important. I use our Almond Cleansing Milk, which contains Pro-Vitamin B5 and Aloe Leaf Juice to help hydrate, calm and soothe the skin. Wild Rose Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Shea soften and nourish this skin.”
STEP 2: HELICHRYSUM TONER
“Toner comes next. I use the Helichrysum Toner, which contains Saccharide Isomerate, a skin identical carbohydrate complex, and Hyaluronic Acid, which are both often referred to as 'moisture magnets' due to their ability to attract and bind hydration.”
STEP 3: HIBISCUS SERUM
“Next up: Hibiscus Serum. A unique combination of Green Pea Polypetides and a novel Tetrapeptide work with anti-wrinkle Myoxinol™ to help boost Collagen and Elastin for visibly reduced fine lines and wrinkles. Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid hydrates and plumps, while omega-rich Olive Oil and a Tetra-Ceramide Complex nourish and protect the skin’s natural moisture barrier, which is vital for this time of year.”
STEP 4: OLIVE EYE CREAM
“I use the Olive Eye Cream next, a regenerating eye cream that contains a hydro-regulating complex including Pro-Vitamin B5, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide B3 and Aloe Leaf Juice to replenish, soothe and the delicate eye area. Hydration is vital for the under-eye area at this time of year, helping reduce fine lines and wrinkles.”
STEP 5: LAVENDER FACE CREAM
“I seal it all with the Lavender Face Cream. The key ingredient, Glutathione, increases moisture levels, while helping to lighten dark spots and brighten the skin. Lavender and Rosemary Waters soothe and refresh the skin, while Hyaluronic Acid works to replenish and maintain moisture levels.”
STEP 6: WHITE WINE BODY CREAM
“The White Wine Body Cream is amazing.”
