About face
Liquid gold
It took the 2021 lockdown, a passion for jojoba oil and
years of her own research for clever Kiwi Gemma Ede
to take the plunge and develop Conviction, a trio of
“liquid skin infusions” ($86 each). Utilising the best organic
jojoba oil slow-infused over 12 weeks with New Zealand
permaculture-grown turmeric and kānuka, the serums give
skin a level of nutrients and nourishment far superior to
many heat-induced, industrially processed oils.
Beauty sleep
Crafted with powerful
sources of skin-brightening
vitamin C and hydrationboosting
plant-based
ceramides to help combat
the physical effects of poor
sleep and support skin to
wake glowing, Trilogy’s
Vitamin C Ceramide Night
Cream ($59) is the ultimate
beauty sleep gamechanger.
Use as the last step in your
night-time skincare routine
– simply massage into clean
skin and hit the sack.
Believe your eyes
Pretty much every eyeshadow
on the market offers promises of
longevity - RMS’s latest, Eyelights
Cream Eyeshadow ($42 at
Mecca), actually delivers. Available
in six lush neutrals, this generous
tube of creamy goodness is
formulated with organic green
tea and natural peptide quinoa
extracts to nourish and smooth
delicate eye skin, and stays put all
day without creasing or fallout. It
even comes with a cute silver key
to ensure you can squeeze out
every last bit before recycling.
Ultra violet
Tapping into the powers of eight
organic plant extracts including
superfruit kaki (we’ll spare you
the sciencey bit but basically it’s
a great shield against sallow skin),
Nutri-Lumière Revive ($208) is the
result of the next phase of Clarins’
formula innovation for its anti-ageing
moisturisers: to create the option of
a hybrid moisturiser plus a radiance
booster that not only helps to visibly
improve skin brightness immediately
but also over time. Illuminating
pearls and the cream’s violet-tinted
texture both help with optical
correction to assist with luminosity
Do the dew
Those coveting dewy, glowy skin like
Gwyneth Paltrow’s will be on cloud
nine with the local (finally) release of
GOOP’s new Cloudberry Exfoliating
Jelly Cleanser ($56 at Mecca). Made
with natural tropical fruit enzymes,
a gentle bitter orange peel exfoliant,
arctic cloudberry and sugar-based
squalane, this innovative cleanser goes
on like a (slightly grainy) jelly then
washes easily off leaving instantly
hydrated, clean skin.
