Why You Should Start Including Serum In Your Skincare Routine
Many times we think that simply using a moisturiser is enough for our skin, but we don't know how wrong we are.

Therefore, serums are perfect when it comes to covering a specific need (anti-aging, pore reduction,...). Contrary to what you might think, a serum is also able to provide hydration to our skin.

Ultra+ Collagen Eye Rescue Therapy
Naturally, the skin around our eyes is thinner than the rest of the skin on your face. Unfortunately, as we age our skin gets thinner. This is due to the fact that as we age the layer underneath our outer layer of the skin reduces. As a result, our skin loses the levels of collagen and elastin it once had and can become more apparent around our eyes. There are many reasons as to why the skin around our eyes can look darker than the rest of our skin. However, this is the primary cause for the...
Rejuvenating Tired Eyes
The skin on your face is very fragile in the first place, especially as we age. The skin is made up of three layers. The layer under the immediate layer of our skin is the part that contains all of the collagen and elastin your skin has. As we age this layer of our skin becomes thinner and as a result, we begin to lose collagen and elastin. This then causes the appearance of signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. The skin around your eyes acts in the very same way, except the skin...
Target Uneven Skin
Our skin gets darker because of melanin. It’s our skins natural reaction to exposure to UV. Uneven skin tone occurs when your skin may be producing too much of this and so doesn’t look even. There are ways in which to prevent and even out your skin tone.

Pro-Glycolic Absolute Anti-Ageing Facial Oil
Oils have always been said to be bad for our skin. But there are certain oils that can be used to remove the bad ones.

The Importance of Facial Oil
It may sound strange to anyone that doesn’t have dry skin. But Facial oils can be very beneficial for your skin. "Our body produces oil naturally, but as we age that production decreases significantly," says Ling Chan, celebrity facialist. "The skin needs oil to maintain a healthy balance, otherwise, it gets too dry which can cause breakouts, fine lines, and wrinkles. Using facial oil helps keep moisture in the skin while protecting it from environmental damage.” T

Increased Chin and Neck Firmness
When you age, signs of ageing start appearing, such as fine lines and wrinkles as well as sagging. These are natural processes that our bodies go through as we age.

The skin around our necks and chin are already thinner than the rest of the skin on our faces and therefore can show our age more than anywhere else.

The skin around your eyes is naturally thinner than other parts of the skin on your face. This means that as we age the skin around our eyes can deteriorate quicker than the other parts of our faces. Fine lines and wrinkles are created by the loss of elastin and collagen in the layer under your skin. Therefore it’s very important to protect your skin from losing these key factors. Hyaluronic Acid can help with this as it works to plump the area around your eyes.

The Importance of Exfoliation
Exfoliation, over the years, has been said to be just as important as the other parts of a skincare routine. However, this step has proven to be quite controversial. Certain people suggest that you exfoliate more than once or twice in a week if you have oily skin. However, over-exfoliation in people with oily skin can generate more oil as your skin works to overcompensate because of the dryness. New Jersey dermatologist Avnee Shah, M.D. says,
