For beauty devotees there may be nothing better than receiving a bundle of cosmetic goodies from under the Christmas tree. No matter the skin complaint there is a brand to cater, with the growing repertoire of complexion-based companies on the market. BD have discovered 10 that we wouldn’t mind finding wrapped from Santa come Christmas Day:
The French are renowned for their skincare prowess. Gatineau is one such Gallic creation which specialises in innovative beauty treatment programmes, as well as accompanying products for skincare conditions that range from blemishes to dullness. Considering the brand has more than 65 years of experience under its belt, it’s a safe bet that consumers can find an effective, tailored skincare solution here.
Another French creation, Nuxe is revered by skincare lovers around the globe. While the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse is the brand’s hero product, Nuxe’s full line is crafted around the premise of the beneficial properties of plants and nature on the skin. All of the products in the line are paraben-free, mineral oils-free and without animal-origin ingredients, as well as crafted with delicate signature fragrances.
Award-winning range HydroPeptide has amassed over 30 beauty awards so far to date. It’s an impressive feat but not a shocking one, considering the brand’s specified creations are favoured by dermatologists. HydroPeptide is heavy on hardcore skincare creations, such as balms, serums, masks and complexion correctors.
Australian skincare brand Ultraderm prides itself on its ability to cater to all skin types. The range includes both salon treatments and homecare products to maintain results afterwards. This brand is a great option for active-addicts, thanks to the inclusion of these formulations in the majority of the range.
Weleda
All that’s natural and organic is at the root of Weleda’s beliefs, and has been since the brand’s creation in 1921. Created by philosopher and natural scientist Dr Rudolf Steiner, Weleda’s approach to health care utilises ingredients from nature that support the body’s own healing ability, with products ranging from deodorants to balms, facial care and everything in between.
Swisse
While Swisse may be most renowned for its rich supplement range, the Australian brand has recently stepped its toes into the skincare market. Maintaining its commitment to sustainable, ethical and carbon neutral practices, Swisse Skincare is a line of gentle skincare products, rich in botanical ingredients and organic oils. A complete skincare regimen is covered with the brand’s line, including toners, facial oils, cleansers, masks and serums.
For those who suffer from serious sensitive skin concerns, finding a gentle product can be a nightmare. Step in Physiogel - a brand based around the premise that a healthy moisture barrier is key to soft skin. Plenty of research has been undertaken by the line in relation to the skin’s natural structure, as a result creating a hypoallergenic range that can nourish, replenishing lipids missing from dry skin.
Science and skincare go hand in hand for Priori - the self-proclaimed ‘anti-ageing authority.’ The innovative brand is a market leader thanks to its integration of patented technologies into its product range, as well as enthusiasm to use coffee as an ingredient - one of skincare’s rising superstars.
Fans of the multi-purpose offering, True Solutions have created a line of skincare that incorporates the benefits of anti-ageing, sunscreen and moisturiser in one. All including the potent antioxidant vitamin E to boost the skin’s natural defence, as well as a powerful sunscreen entity to shield against sun damage.
