bdTrial: Spring into skincare

The BD team trial a range of skincare products helping their skin survive Spring.

HydroPeptide® Power Lift - Anti-Wrinkle Ultra Rich Concentrate
After years of sleeping in my make-up and never wearing a moisturiser (please don’t judge me, I was young and foolish), my skin has not aged in the best of conditions (damn you, younger me). As a result, I am constantly looking for skincare products that offer the highest levels of efficacy a girl could ask for. Which is why I’m a big convert of the HydroPeptide® Power Lift - Anti-Wrinkle Ultra Rich Concentrate. Formulated with anti-gravity, lifting, and retinoic-like peptides, this facial moisturiser gives superior lifting and anti-ageing results as well as helping hydrate my dry skin. It is proving to be a brilliant addition to my skincare regime. - Yelena

Swisse Deep Sea Hydrating Mist Toner
I am always on the look-out for new products that will give my skin that hit of hydration it desperately needs. My usual skincare routine sees me turning to oils, lotions and potions, so I was extra excited to see what the Swisse Deep Sea Hydrating Mist toner could do for my dry skin. After cleansing, I spritzed it all over my face and neck then wiped away any excess. I definitely noticed that my skin looked and felt softer, smoother and fresher. The fact that it also doesn’t have any of those nasty chemicals or preservatives means I will definitely be adding this to my skincare regime permanently. - Laura

RosehipPLUS™ Organic Daily Cream Cleanser
My bathroom cabinet can be best described as an oil slick. Coconut, argan, moroccan, jojoba and rosehip oils bond within my shelves over their shared ability to rehydrate my desert-like skin. But I’ve come to terms with the fact that (like my drinks), I don’t just have to enjoy oils straight up - they are just as beneficial when incorporated into other products. Take RosehipPLUS™’ Organic Daily Cream Cleanser for example - the cleanser rids my face of the remnants of the day in a creamy solution that hosts a power trio of my beloved oils - jojoba, sea buckthorn, and rose hip. The added bonus? The cleanser is a friend of flora and fauna alike being Australian Certified Organic and PETA approved. - Sarah

 

Sanctum Night Conditioning Cream
I'm often picky with things I don't necessarily have to be fussy about - like making sure my salad never touches anything else on my plate. But the fact that I have sensitive skin DOES require me having to be a little bit choosy when it comes to my skincare products. Sactum's Night Conditioning Cream, which is 84 per cent certified organic and 100 per cent naturally derived, is my skin's saviour! The vitamin E helps promote cell renewal, while the macadamia seed oil moisturises and the shea butter nourishes and deeply hydrates my skin. And let me tell you, my skin drinks this all up! The result the next morning is quite honestly the clearest skin I’ve ever had. - Sophia

 

Elizabeth Arden PRO Triple Action Protector
I’m headed to the Gold Coast this weekend for a bachelorette party (woo) and my skin is going to have a really relaxing weekend off. JOKES. A weekend of sun, water, contouring and dranks won’t exactly be healing, but with this triple action protector slathered on my mug, my skin should be able to survive my vigourous plans (pity I can’t predict the same outcome for my liver). The tinted formula creates an instant radiance to my complexion, so for beach days it’s all I need (it also has sunscreen in it). When worn under make-up, it also creates the perfect hydrating glow. It is formulated with a protein protection antioxidant blend as well as a DNA enzyme complex to help support the skin’s natural repair system. With this product in my travel bag, my skin won’t just survive the weekend, it’s going to thrive! My dignity… not so much. - Kelly
