I’ve never been big into preventative skincare measures. Maybe it’s because I thought it was reserved for when I was older, or for when my skin was tired from toting around three bubs or something.
I mean, my mother always told me that prevention was the best cure, but I never really put my toosh into gear and started preserving what I had – until a shiny bottle of La Mer’s latest skincare superstar, The Radiant Serum, landed on my desk that is. After all, with a gift as gorgeous as that, I felt like it was as good a time as any to give some luxurious skincare a go.
At the ripe old age of 22 I’m not too phased about wrinkles and fine lines, but I was instantly drawn to this little beauty because of its ability to target hyper-pigmentation and uneven colouring, as well as turn dull, discoloured skin into a bright, plumped and radiant complexion. My skin rejoiced in sheer anticipation!
The instant effect was that my normally large-ish pores virtually disappeared, meaning that my make-up was given a super smooth base on which to sit. Two thumbs up already! After using it for a few more days, I could see that my skin was starting looking healthier overall – like it was lit from within (which got me wishing I’d taken caring for my skin more seriously years ago!)
As you can imagine, the serum itself is a velvety dream to apply. I actually look forward to each morning and night, as my skin is awarded a silky treat that does its regenerative work both while I’m awake and asleep. The Radiant Serum also has a more natural smell than other serums, which says to me that it’s a product that’s just as serious about its ingredients as it is about feeling luxurious. I couldn’t have had a more pleasing introduction to serious skincare…
