4 Skincare Products to Kickstart Your Own Fountain of Youth
Ah, youth: It's been repeated over and over in popular culture as an elixir not to take for granted, and it certainly shouldn't be. How often do we catch ourselves looking into the mirror wishing we had tighter, bouncier, #iwokeuplikethis skin?
The truth is, younger-looking skin is attainable: We just need to know exactly where to look and be consistent in our routine. Here are 4 carefully curated beauty products that consist of ingredients to kickstart your very own Fountain of Youth.
Origins Plantscription Multi-Powered Youth Serum
Origins upgraded their best selling anti-ageing formula with this updated formulation, which features 5 peptides combined with 16 carefully selected plant actives from nature. Using a blend of Mandarin, Star Anaise, Pink Rose, Lavender and Geranium essential oils, this potent anti-ageing serum delivers 15 youth-boosting benefits to visibly transform the face and neck to achieve a more lifted look.
The lightweight, fast-absorbing serum contains Peptides to stimulate collagen, Anogeissus, an ingredient that contributes to bouncy skin, Glucosamine, known for its ability to release rough and dull surface cells, and Commiphora, a resin extract that helps restore lost volume and facial definition.
Clarins Double Eye Serum
Like its predecessor in the same line, the new Double Eye Serum from Clarins comes in a unique 2 valve packaging to deliver a cream and an oil double formula — one that's enriched with 13 plant extracts, including organic wild chervil extract harvested in Auvergne, France.
This double action formula smoothes wrinkles, reduces puffiness and dark circles, protects and strengthen the eye area — and, thanks to the anti-pollution complex, the serum also helps against the harmful effect of blue light. The brand claims that you can see effects within 7 days of use; how's that for a miracle?
ést.lab ActivCalm Skin Quenching Serum
Singaporean skincare brand ést.lab might not be as well known as its competitors, but its products can certainly compete with the best. Taking inspiration from electrolytes found in energy drinks, ést.lab created the ultimate thirst-quenching serum for your skin.
Leveraging from the hydrating powers of electrolytes, they are made up of the same minerals found in skin to help attract and retain water effectively, supplementing dehydrated skin by drawing and locking moisture in the skin barrier to rebalance the skin’s microbiome and reduce skin sensitivity.
On top of that, ActivCalm Skin Quenching Serum contains a wide range of Natural Moisturing Factors (NMFs) such as amino acids, Pyroglutamic acid (PCA) and saccharides that can be found on our skin barrier, to provide a more holistic approach to hydration.
Jurlique’s Activating Water Essence+
Jurlique’s newly launched activating essence is an improved version of the originals, with added new botanicals to deliver hydration and radiance to your skin.
Potent Marshmallow Root extracts and Jurlique’s unique blend of natural botanicals – Lavender, Rose gallica, Calendula, work hard to not only drench the skin in moisture, but retain it as well. This clean formula also includes moisture attracting humectants for optimal hydration: The foundation of young, fresh-looking skin.
