Different skin types need different skincare products, and every skin type deserves the best care to keep it nurtured and glowing. If you’re blessed with normal skin, you probably won’t struggle to find products that will work for you. But if you suffer from oily, dry or sensitive skin, you need to really pay attention to the products you use on your face. Mature skin needs some extra TLC to look its radiant best too. The ELEMIS ‘truth in beauty’ ethos is a commitment to providing innovative skincare products that deliver scientifically proven results. It believes in holistic wellbeing, using an innovative blend of aromatherapy and science that is good for you as well as for the planet. ELEMIS actively seeks out sustainable ingredients so that your skincare products take care of the earth and the people that grow them. Products with natural ingredients, like those from ELEMIS, work in harmony with your body and skin in a way that synthetically derived products do not. Each active ingredient derived from plants is carefully selected to deliver positive solutions for your skin type and condition. Allbeauty gives you the lowdown on finding your perfect match with ELEMIS, whatever your skin type.
Dry Or Sensitive Skin
When left to its own devices, dry skin can look flaky and dull. Dry skin can be caused by genetics, age, weather change or even certain medications – and as anyone with dry skin will tell you, it takes more than just a good moisturiser to help dry skin look and feel nourished and radiant. Products with humectants like glycerine, hyaluronic acid, and amino acids and peptides are a great place to start - they help your skin retain moisture by drawing it into the upper layers of your skin.Cleansing Balms
Regular cleansers can leave dry skin feeling stretched, parched and sensitive. Try using a cleansing balm like the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm which dissolves dust, grime, and makeup without the excess exfoliation that comes with using a wipe – making it perfect for sensitive skin too.
For added nurture, check out the Elemis Anti-Ageing Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm with extracts of English rose oleo and Padina pavonica (Mediterranean algae) for an extra boost of hydration and protection.
Overnight Masks
The Elemis Advanced Skincare Peptide4 Plumping Pillow Facial is an overnight Elemis facial treatment that works overtime to lock the moisture into your skin while you sleep. Star arvensis, speedwell and Indian jasmine hydrate while Vitamin E combats free radicals and soothes sensitive skin.
If you have dry or sensitive skin, Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel is just what you need, with an exotic cocktail of natural fruit enzymes to gently purify, condition and regenerate - and it smells amazing too.
Mature Skin
As you get older, your skin starts to lose its ability to produce collagen and elastin, which slows down regeneration. Combined with the effects of weather, sun, and environmental damage, this causes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While one of the best things you can do to keep mature skin looking fresh and youthful is to get plenty of R&R, using the right Elemis skincare products can help you stop the clock and retain that dewy glow.Day Cream
Using the right cream during the day can make a world of a difference when it comes to fighting the visible signs of ageing, and you can find your skin’s perfect match in the Elemis Pro-Collagen collection. The Elemis Anti-Ageing Pro-Collagen Marine Cream Ultra-Richworks wonders for dry, mature skin, as Mediterranean algae and ginkgo biloba fight the free radicals that contribute to ageing, with anti-inflammatory mimosa and rose to nourish dehydrated skin.
The rich texture of the cream allows it to simply melt into your skin without any stickiness. The Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30 provides protection against sun damage, which can cause premature skin-ageing.
Eye Cream
One of the first places that you start noticing fine lines is around the eyes. Using an eye cream like the Elemis Anti-Ageing Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment around the delicate eye area can reduce visible fine lines and wrinkles. Make this ELEMIS eye serum a part of your daily skincare routine – simply dab one or two drops around the eye area gently every morning and evening and you’ll see a visible difference in just two weeks.
Oily & Combination Skin
Oily and combination skin can be tricky to handle. Oily skin is also more prone to clogged pores, which often leads to blackheads, acne, and other breakouts. Using the right skincare products on oily skin can help keep your pores clean and feeling fresh – and ELEMIS has it covered.Cleansing
Cleansing should be a part of your everyday skincare routine, whatever your skin type. If you’ve got oily skin, it’s tempting to use an alcohol-based cleanser or toner, but these can leave your face feeling dry and sensitive, as well as making your skin harder to produce more oils, leaving you back where you started. But although it might sound strange, oily skin needs oil. Oil-based cleansers help to balance oil production rather than simply stripping away your skin’s essential oils.
Use a cleansing balm like the Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm every morning and evening to melt away grime and makeup without upsetting the delicate balance of the skin barrier, and use the ELEMIS Advanced Skincare Clarifying Clay Wash for a deeper cleanse. Follow with the ELEMIS Advanced Skincare Balancing Lavender Toner which helps control excess oil flow.
The ELEMIS Superfood Facial Oil contains the power of broccoli seed oil and flaxseed oil along with a whole bunch of other antioxidant rich oils that feed your skin and restore balance. Use twice a day after cleansing and toning.
