There are a number of different things that can leave us feeling depleted, whether that’s a physical or mental feeling. Stress, illness, not eating a balanced diet, even dehydration, can all be contributing factors to feeling drained, and this can have a knock-on effect with your skin. If your skin is lacking nourishment, it could be dry, lacklustre and dull, not just on your face, but your whole body. That’s why we’ve curated a list of five key products which will nourish your skin from top to toe:
Elemis Superfood Midnight Facial
Night creams are perfect for skin which needs a lot of nourishment as they usually have at least eight uninterrupted hours to work. They also don’t have to play nicely with makeup or other cosmetics, so have a richer texture – just like this prebiotic overnight sleeping night cream from Elemis. It contains camu camu and cocoa butter, which are packed with vitamin C and omega 6 and 9 fatty acids to drench the skin in intense hydration and nourishment.
Aromatherapy Associates Inner Strength Nourishing Body Treatment
This body treatment is designed to nourish both your skin and your soul, with a heady mix of aromatherapy oils. It contains mind-decluttering clary sage, fortifying cardamom and focusing frankincense, which will help to focus your mind while the deeply nourishing and moisturising cream works on your skin. It will leave your skin feeling soft and supple while also giving you a mental boost.
Evolve Organic Beauty Bio-Retinol Gold Mask
You don’t have to be going through a massive life event for your skin to feel depleted; sometimes, just getting older is enough to do it. Ageing skin gradually loses the ability to create collagen, which is what keeps the skin looking plumped, and ageing skin also tends to be drier. This mask from Evolve Organic contains a natural retinol-like plant extract from bidens pilosa, that works on the skin to deliver the same rejuvenation and cellular renewal benefits as retinol, but without any irritation. It also contains organic argan oil and rosehip oil to really nourish and moisturise your skin.
SkinCeuticals Emollience
SkinCeuticals have drawn from some of the most potent ingredients in nature to create this moisturising product for very dry and sensitive skin. It contains sesame seed oil, grape seed oil, rosa canina fruit oil, macadamia seed oil and mango seed butter, amongst other things, which combine to create a moisturiser which is deeply nourishing and can be used on the entire neck, face and chest. It restores and maintains skin moisture levels, and absorbs quickly and evenly.
Color Wow Money Masque
If your skin is suffering from a lack of nourishment then there’s a good chance that your hair is, too. That’s where Color Wow Money Masque comes in! This deeply hydrating hair mask, designed to achieve silky, supple, expensive-looking hair and is one of the best loved products among celebrity hair stylists who need to make sure that their clients look perfect. It contains blue sea kale, a mediterranean sea kelp/algae blend and a hydrolyzed vegetable protein complex which penetrates deep into the hair’s cuticle to deliver smooth, glossy hair without the need of heavy moisturisers.
