DRINK UP – Hydrate
Skin quenchers are undeniably a must-have in all skincare routines. Given their versatility, hydrators can be easily integrated into the skincare regime whether they’re in the form of a cleanser, toner, moisturiser or mask. Well-hydrated skin looks plumper and smoother, and is more resilient to external aggressors. Apart from drinking lots of water, we ask that you keep your skin hydrated with the following ingredients:
- Coconut is an amazing beauty multitasker. On top of being incredibly hydrating, it also has the ability to cool and calm skin while locking in moisture.
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a powerful humectant which naturally occurs within our skin. HA attracts and hold large amounts of moisture, keeping skin supple and hydrated.
- Rose calms and sooths skin irritations while hydrating skin. Rosewater has natural anti-inflammatory properties which makes it great for sensitive skin.

GLOW UP – Brighten
Brighten and get a more even skin tone with the help of vitamin C and AHAs. If you have sensitive skin, use the acids and vitamin C at different times of the days. Otherwise, layer them from the lightest to the heaviest for enhanced results.
- Vitamin C gives your skin an antioxidant boost, even out skin tone, brightens the complexion and tackles signs of ageing like fine lines and dark spots.
- Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHAs) such as lactic acid and glycolic acid help exfoliate the skin surface, leaving complexion softer and smoother.

- Green Tea is packed with antioxidants, and boasts soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s also an astringent, which helps reduce sebum production.
