Getting your skincare right at this time of the year means you’ll not only feel refreshed and revived, but you’ll also have laid the groundwork and prepped for the harsher winter weather. By giving your skin a much-needed moisture boost you’ll ensure it’s fully nourished; prolonging that healthy summer glow and helping protect against the drying effects of cooler climes.
HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE: Just as your body needs hydration, so too does your skin. My three innovative Hygrodels – Peppermint Clarifying, Chamomile Desensitising and Orange Flower Cell Renewal – feed and water your complexion, soothe and repair and minimise redness and inflammation. They also make the perfect base for you foundation and each one is designed to tackle specific skin issues.
EXFOLIATE EACH DAY: Getting rid of daily pollution, dirt and grime is essential to keep you condition in tip top condition. My Bee Polish extracts toxins without harming the outer layer of the skin and because it’s the first non-abrasive, anti-ageing exfoliator to contain the patented formula ABEETOXIN® it also helps alleviate fine lines and wrinkles as well as lighten pigmentation.
GO FOR A THICKER MOISTURISER: You can get away with lighter moisturisers through the summer but as the seasons change you need one that boosts hydration levels and helps increase elasticity. My Divine Cream is designed for all skin types but it works particularly well on more mature complexions thanks to its innovative anti-ageing properties. It contains organic mandarin and orange, both natural sources of vitamin C, which help increase collagen and elastin levels for a more youthful appearance.
REACH FOR THE HYALURONIC ACID: As autumn arrives you may find your skin feels dry; hydrating hyaluronic acid will add instant hydration for a real beauty boost. My Silk Skin Bee Bee Cream not only boasts hyaluronic acid but also my potent ABEETOXIN® bee venom. It is designed to add moisture to your skin and help remove spots, while at the same time reacting to your colour tone for a natural, gorgeous glow – just what we need at this time of the year.
USE A WEEKLY MASK: While your everyday cleansers and moisturisers are great to keep the surface of your skin in good condition, adding a once-a-week face mask – like my Silver Bee Venom – can help with a whole host of woes, from dehydration and excess oil to clogged pores, fine lines and break-outs. You can use in a variety of different ways: apply after your cleansing routine morning and evening; layer on top of your daily moisturiser or combine with a serum; leave on for ten minutes and wash off with warm water; or leave on overnight for accelerated results.
