Summer may be over, technically, but in reality, temperatures are still quite high. With heat and humidity, the need for great products that will protect your skin, a fresh fragrance and a sizzling hot pout are essential. Here are our top picks for September!
Show Your Skin Some TLC
Taking care of your skin’s natural barrier is essential to achieve an ethereal glow. The Minimalist Ceramides Bisabolol Face Cream is a fantastic everyday moisturising cream with five ceramides that will restore and repair your skin’s natural barrier and prevent water loss.
Bisabolol is the perfect ally for very sensitive or dry skin. It has been proven to significantly reduce pro-inflammatory mediators after UV stress, efficiently suppress redness on UV-damaged skin, and soothe skin. It also contains Asiaticoside which helps soothe skin, and Aquaporin boosters for intense hydration. This product is best suited for normal to dry skin.
