More Winter Essentials

Last week I wrote about how the change of seasons can affect your complexion, winter in particular, and reviewing three new products from Derma e which are not only ideal for travellers but also for fixing cool weather problems. To recap, in case you don’t know the brand, Derma e is an affordable range of high performing skin care products, committed to the environment and kind to skin with all formulas 100 per cent paraben, gluten, petrolatum, dye and GMO, free, while also being vegan friendly, cruelty free and sustainably sourced. This week I am reporting on three additional new Derma e products I’ve been testing, all basics everyone should have in their cosmetic cupboard. They include a Hydrating Serum (rrp $39.95) a Hydrating Eye Creme (rrp $29.95) and an Anti-Wrinkle Vitamin A & Green Tea Advanced Creme (rrp $34.95).

The Hydrating Serum is a fabulous product for a variety of reasons, mainly that it is simple to use and does what it promises. The key ingredient is hyaluronic acid, a “moisture magnet” which hydrates and plumps up dry, dehydrated and ageing skin, while also making wrinkles look less obvious. All you need to do to use it pump a small amount onto your fingertips and massage into the skin; I add essential oils at night, and a Vitamin C product by day for an extra boost. This product has no aroma and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth, and you could even use it alone in very humid conditions. A great companion to this product is the Hydrating Eye Creme which also uses hyaluronic acid as its key ingredient. The cream has so aroma and smooths onto the eye area easily, hydrating and plumping up the area to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

And finally the Anti-Wrinkle Vitamin A & Green Tea Advanced Cream is a delight, especially to use at night. Key ingredients are power packed Vitamin A, which is the world’s best wrinkle buster, combined glycol acid to smooth the skin and give it a younger appearance. All of Derma e’s products come in simple packaging and small sizes making them ideal to pack into your cosmetic case for a holiday. Best of all, they are affordable and do what they promise, delivering great looking skin away from home.

Derma e is available from Priceline, independent pharmacies and online at www.dermae.com.au.
