Step 2 - Skin refining Essence
During your 40s, your skin produces less sebum which leaves your face feeling dry and tight. This phenomenon also exposes your skin to environmental aggressors. Dirt, sun, and pollution, among others, affect your skin, leading to the generation of free radicals. Battling these radicals, your skin begins to lose its radiant glow and is left looking dull and lacklustre. A hydrating and brightening facial essence is a quick and easy way to give your complexion an extra hand at restoring its once-luminous glow. Radiant skin also looks younger, so a brightening, anti-ageing essence is the right fit for your skincare after 40s.
Our Recommendation: The L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Crystal Micro Essence is a lightweight, watery micro-essence that goes deep within your skin to repair, re-plump, and moisturise it to give you radiant and younger-looking skin. With anti-ageing active ingredients like brightening Salicylic Acid and Centella Asiatica, the essence also removes dead skin cells, accelerates skin renewal, boosts skin elasticity, and smoothens out fine lines and wrinkles. Leaving your skin with improved moisture retention, the essence is a vital addition to your 40s skincare.
