The January Edit

January is synonymous with new beginnings. Traditionally, it is a very quiet time socially & even more so at present. There is no better time than now to invest in some self-care. Begin a new skincare regime, buy some new skincare, set new skin goals, declutter your makeup bag, take better care of your health & well-being, no matter what your plans are even if it’s just maintaining the goodness you have already established, there is no better time than now to focus on you.

Clear Skin Biome & Skin Youth Biome €68 each

Evidence showing the intertwined workings of the brain, skin & beneficial bacteria of the gut, link two commonly accepted adages for skin health; good skin starts from the inside out & excessive stress can cause skin problems. Maintaining a healthy gut contributes to the healthy absorption of nutrients, in turn feeding all our our organs, including the brain & skin, with sufficient nutrients to ensure they function healthily & not only in times of stress. As we can never have enough bacteria it is possible to combine both Clear Skin Biome & Skin Biome & found for my breakout skin to have great results when combined with Skin Accumax & Skin Vitality 1 which is a multivitamin.

Alumier MD Ultimate Boost €91

Ultimate Boost Serum is a must have for every skin type, it is a lightweight serum that boosts hydration and enhances the skin’s natural hydrolipid barrier with sodium hyaluronate the low molecular form of Hylauronic Acid, this form penetrates the layers of the skin. Ultimate Boost also contains Niacinamide & MATRIXYL® Synthe'6® a powerhouse of peptides that strengthen the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Perfect to use as a booster or under moisturiser, for maximum results, use twice daily, this would be my go to serum both am & pm.

Environ Focus Care Comfort+ Anti Pollution Masque €52

A multi functional Japanese charcoal masque containing special botanicals to dissolve pollutants in order to maintain the skin’s barrier. The presence of Acnicidol makes it a useful tool to fight the dreaded ‘Maskne’ as it regulates sebum production helping control breakouts. This masque also targets hydration in the skin & has a cooling, soothing effect on stressed out skins.

Alumier MD C&E +Peptides €179 for 3 months supply

The only bioavailable form of vitamin C for the skin, L-ascorbic acid is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from free radical damage caused by the sun and pollution. Vitamin C is essential for collagen production, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also brightens and evens out skin tone. In the presence of Vitamin E, Vitamin C can work four-fold so the addition of Tocopherol Acetate USP, an effective form of vitamin E for the skin, is most welcomed. This highly moisturizing and fat-soluble vitamin protects cell membranes and acts as an antioxidant, which strengthens the effect of Vitamin C. And as if that was not enough, MATRIXYL® Synthe’6® is also in the mix. I adore this serum & found with being an oil skin, I broke out, not with this one & the bonus is the instant glow!

Advance Nutrition Programme Skin Ultimate Skincare Box €91

This is a must for somebody wanting to maximise the results of their skincare products & treatments. As with all skin supplements, skin being a two sided organ will get an ‘inner glow’ with the intelligent synergy of five specific supplements Skin Vit A+, Skin Omegas+, Skin Antioxidant, Skin Asta-Boost and Skin CoQ10+ .

Alumier MD Aqua Infusion Masque

Supercharged Aqua Infusion Masque leaves the skin super silky, plump & hydrated, Aqua Infusion Masque is a light weight, oil-free, at home hydration treatment for all skin types. This masque was once a professional only product, I love a masque that you can leave on & with this one I sleep in it 1-2 times a week especially in the winter months.

Environ Focus Care Avance Elixir €116

Definitely one my favourite serums, Avance Elixir contains a powerhouse of Peptides proteins which can never get enough of, think of them working on the architectures of the skin. In the mix also is Hylauronic Acid to hydrate, Meritage to restore the skin’s tissues, stimulate collagen & counteract collagen degradation along with Squalane for increased elasticity & Vitamin E to moisturise. This Elixir should be on every bathroom shelf.

Youth EssentiA Hydra-Intense Cleansing Lotion €46

A luxurious conditioning cream cleanser, it’s moisturising properties help calm the appearance of redness, leaving the skin feeling silky to touch, refreshed & radiant. It is suitable for even the most compromised skin types such as Rosacea, Eczema & Psoriasis. In the winter months even the most normal skins can become imbalanced with colder climes & heating systems.

Alumier MD Sheer Hydration SPF40 €48

The first product everyone should invest in is a good mineral SPF. This is the best ‘skinvestment’ you can make, the damage you do to your skin today is the damage that your skin will wear in ten, twenty years. Unfortunately there is a common misconception that SPF is a summer only product, when in fact it should be the staple of every skin regime. Damaging rays such as UVB exist only in the summer months but UVA which penetrates the skin deeper exists all year round & damage is seen many years later. The good news is that it is never too late to begin using SPF. Sheer Hydration Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 40 is a silky and sheer physical sunscreen that provides powerful broad-spectrum protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. A combination of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide while moisturizing with vitamin E. This formula is also packed with free-radical-quenching antioxidants, including a stable vitamin C, resveratrol, grape seed extract, and glutathione.
