Though pretty packaging and sumptuous scents are very tempting when it comes to choosing a skin care solution or a beauty product often all we want is something that will do the task for which it is intended – without frills.
Here, we’re talking about the science behind the skincare, delving down into the nitty gritty to bring you the cold hard facts on why you should spend your beauty bucks on these skin and body care gems.
NIVEA Express Hydration Body Lotion with Hydra IQ
What it does
Provides long-lasting moisture and nourished the skin by encouraging it to hydrate from within for up to 24 hours. NIVEA Express Hydration Body Lotion also absorbs extraordinarily quickly to eliminate the ‘sticky’ feeling – which means you can get dressed right after use!
How it works
Improves our skin’s intelligent moisture distribution system by releasing newly-discovered proteins called ‘Aquaporins’ into our skin cells. These Aquaporins form microscopically small pores or ‘gateways’ in the cell membrane that allow a constant, easy transport of water to carry from the deeper layers of our skin into and out of each cell until it reaches the top layer of the skin (also known as the epidermis) and in turn deliver smooth and nourished skin from top to bottom – that lasts long term.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronized Complex
What it does
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronized Complex uses a blend of three powerful technologies to deliver a dramatic reduction in the look of every key visible sign of eye ageing, including; fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles, dryness and uneven skin tone.
How it works
Three powerful technologies work to target ageing issues associated with the delicate eye area. The first technology is the exclusive Chronolux™ Technology, which helps to support the natural synchronization of the skin’s own repair system – meaning that the skin’s own ‘clock genes’ are able to repair in sync. Thi sis vital as clock genes that are out of sync due to ageing can result in skin cells that aren’t repairing in unison and at their optimal level, which can compromise your skin’s own DNA repair. The second technology encapsulates Alkyl Guanine Transferase (AGT), which tackles the appearance of damage to the eye area caused by smoke, pollution and other environmental assaults. And finally, the third technology contains an anti-irritant blend, plus a blend of antioxidants and hyaluronic acid, which work together harmoniously to create a natural protective barrier for the delicate eye area. The result? It reduces puffiness, dark circles and crepiness in the eye tissue.
