As the winter weather steadily worsens and we find ourselves engulfed by skin drying, artificial heat you may be tempted to slather on more moisturiser than usual. Now I'm not for one moment saying that is a misstep but it can be expensive and if your skin doesn't absorb it, then it can be an irritant resulting in blemishes. This time around, swap in a gentle yet moisture retaining essence and banish dull, dry and un-cared skin once and for all.
Essence is more than a buzz word, it is a skincare product and step that many Eastern Asian countries swear by. Admittedly it can be a tricky step to navigate as so many brands offer various essences - some of which aren't exactly clear on what they can deliver and do tend to be nothing more than a gussied-up toner in pretty packaging. My personal recommendation for all skin types and ages is Jurlique Acting Water Essence; a gentle yet effective product that hydrates, conditions and revitalises in one quick step. It is one of the few products around that offers continuous skin hydration benefits by activating your skin’s ability to retain moisture.
The beauty of Jurlique Activating Water Essence (and generally speaking most skincare items of this nature) is that it is so easy yet beneficial to use. After cleansing and toning (but before moisturising), simply pour a few drops of the essence into your palms, warm and gently press into your face and décolletage. There's no need for cotton pads nor anything else to make the most of Jurlique Activating Water Essence, making it a great addition to a zero waste routine and of course for travel too.
Jurlique Activating Water Essence contains Marshmallow Root Extract - this has a high percentage of thick, syrup-like liquid called mucilage, which has intensive hydrating, softening and balancing properties, all of which are great for re-balancing and deeply hydrating the skin without the need for heavier and dare I say oily based textures. This essence is free from all artificial colours, fragrances, parabens and sulphates. As an added bonus the Jurlique Activating Water Essence can act as a barrier to help protect dry skin and can be used in conjunction with both your morning and evening skincare routine.
So I'll ask you again is your skincare routine missing anything?
