If you’re combating...
dullness
TRY MORINGA
Rich in antioxidants such as Vitamin C, moringa helps to protect and repair damaged skin. If your skin tends to be on the dry and dull side, look no further for a burst of rejuvenation. Those suffering from acne will be grateful for moringa’s antibacterial care that prevents bad breakouts.
If you have...
hyperpigmentation
Try Algae
Coming in many forms, such as brown kelp, green seaweed, spirulina, and red algae, this star ingredient fades hyperpigmentation and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines for younger-looking skin. In particular, red algae, which firms skin and boosts natural collagen production, is known as the Algae of Youth.
If you have...
sensitive skin
Try Ginkgo Leaf
If your skin is easily irritated, ginkgo leaf boasts anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties to calm acne, eczema, and redness. What powers ginkgo leaf is its concentration of Vitamin E, a multifunctional antioxidant that moisturises and brightens skin while combating free-radical damage.
If you’re combating...
dryness
Try Calendula
Like ginkgo leaf, calendula is an ideal ingredient for skin that’s easily affected by stress, allergens, and irritants. Its soothing, anti-inflammatory properties help to ease redness and discomfort. The plant’s fatty acids also tackle skin sensitivity that’s exacerbated by dryness, strengthening the skin’s natural barrier to lock in moisture.
If you’re combating...
clogged pores
Try Eucalyptus
In the summer, it’s easy for pores and hair follicles to become clogged with sweat and oil. Not only do eucalyptus’ antibacterial properties effectively treat acne, but the natural antiseptic also keeps the scalp healthy, promoting blood circulation and hair growth. Its refreshing finish makes it a popular choice for body care and cleansers.
If you need...
thorough cleansing
Try Olive
Like eucalyptus, olive is commonly found in cleansing oils. It thoroughly removes makeup and sunscreen traces without stripping skin of its essential moisture, making it a must-have for your beach bag. The revitalising antioxidant purifies and conditions skin for a flawless finish while combating signs of ageing.
