The BD team reveal the skincare products currently headlining their beauty routine.
Sukin Super Greens - Detoxifying Facial Scrub
I like to lie and tell myself I lead a #fitspo lifestyle by drinking green smoothies. Thanks to Sukin, I can also pretend my skin gets the sleep and hydration t truly needs with the brand’s Super Greens range. In keeping with its philosophy to create products using only the safest ingredients, the brand has brought out the Detoxifying Facial Scrub. Jojoba beads and ground bamboo buff the skin (and rub away your beauty sins), while a superfood blend of kale, spirulina, chlorella and parsley help to detoxify it. The result? Very clean, very glowy skin. Selfie time? - Sarah
Bioré Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser
Knowing charcoal is a master at cleaning skin, I’ve been interested in trying out a product that incorporates it for a while now. So I pounced on the Bioré Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser when it arrived at the office. I’ve got to say - this product won me over from first use. After working it into a foamy lather in my hands and applying it to my face, the product felt like a mask on my skin: it was heavy-duty (read: efficacious), rich and had a delightful menthol feel. It rinsed off easily, and my skin immediately felt clean and fresh afterwards (thanks to the menthol-like inclusion). Bioré, you’ve impressed me once again with your innovations! - Yelena
Danné Montague-King beta gel
I’ve been using DMK products for two months now and they have changed my life (well, my skin - but you get what I’m saying). Working in the beauty industry, I’ve tried and been exposed to plenty of ranges, but this one has actually worked on my skin. I particularly love the beta gel because of its healing capabilities. Packed with vitamins B and C and a potent beta glucan B6 yeast wall extract, it promotes healthier skin cells and fights free radicals, reducing swelling, redness and inflammation. It’s the perfect antidote to my often angry, acne-prone complexion. My skin is now clearer and I’m not hiding behind a layer of foundation. - Kelly
Billie Goat Soap Hydrating Serum
Billie Goat Soap is the stuff dreams are made of for anyone with sensitive skin, so I almost did a cartwheel when I found out the brand was launching a skincare range. For me, the hydrating face serum was the real showstopper of the regime. Formulated with vitamin E, glycerine, kakadu plum and of course, goats milk, it left my skin feeling hydrated and brighter, even after just one use. This easily absorbed serum also works to plump fine lines and give skin an instant glow - all without a sticky aftermath. - Nat
nu’trir Detoxifying Enzymatic Radiance Masque
After a crazy few days, my skin was in desperate need of a big dose of vitality. With a face showing the signs of fatigue, I was the ideal candidate to try the Nu’trir Detoxifying Enzymatic Radiance Masque, which is meant to be used bi-weekly. I smoothed it on, and my face lapped up the cool cream. After just two minutes, I was able to rinse it off, giving me the rest of my night to show off my bright, silky skin to my unmoved, uninterested husband. The fruity concoction contains naturally derived active ingredients that work in harmony to unclog pores, slough away dead skin cells and impurities and detoxify skin. - Joc
MonoDermà C10: Lightening & Anti-Aging With Vitamin C
As a beach-loving girl (with a nagging mother, bless), the importance of sun care was drilled into me from a very young age. Fast forward to now, and I’m the one who applies sunscreen between swims and tells anyone who’ll listen that NOW is the time to start an anti-ageing regime. My product of choice? MonoDermà C10: Lightening & Anti-Aging With Vitamin C. These capsules contain 10 per cent pure vitamin C to counteract the effects of the sun (like hyperpigmentation), prevent ageing and stimulate collagen. Winning. Oh, and they have a cool micro-sponge technology that releases the active all day long. Go on, crack one open! - Katia
