Beat the Winter Skin Blues with the Best Brightening Solutions by iS Clinical
- Written by The Women's Magazine
Winter can wreak havoc on your skin. Cooler temperatures and low humidity levels in the air draw moisture away from the skin. Combined with indoor heating and the pitfalls of longer, hotter showers, it further depletes the skin of essential moisture leading to transepidermal water loss. When the surrounding environment causes a dehydrated epidermis this ultimately results in a dry, dull and lacklustre complexion.
However, simple steps can be taken to help combat dull-looking winter skin: avoid the use of harsh cleansers, stay hydrated internally and topically, swap out your lighter moisturiser for a richer, hydrating one, incorporate regular gentle exfoliation into your skincare routine, avoid steaming hot showers, don’t forget your sunscreen and give your skin a boost of radiance with high performance brightening products.
Brightening products that feature skin-brightening botanicals and hydrating active ingredients are the best antidote to a dull-looking complexion. iS Clinical’s Brightening Serum and Brightening Complex make a powerhouse duo, that gives skin that covetable, radiant glow while sealing in that all-important moisture.
BRIGHTENING SERUM: a powerful fast-acting, targeted formula that visibly reduces the appearance of uneven skin tone while providing significant controlled exfoliation minus the peeling. Boasting a concentrated combination of potent botanical ingredients, it helps brighten the complexion, smooth and soften skin while delivering a multitude of visible age-defying skin benefits. A lightweight and easily absorbed formulation, the Brightening Serum is excellent for overall coverage or it can be used to provide an intensive ‘booster’ effect, specifically targeting problem areas to minimise the appearance of uneven skin tone.
Ingredients include:
Norwegian Kelp Extract – helps to diminish the appearance of both new and existing areas of uneven skin tone while working to help brighten the overall complexion
Bilberry Extract – a natural exfoliant with moisturising properties
Sugarcane Extract - gently exfoliates the skin for a renewed complexion
RRP $134 (15mL), $235 (30mL)
BRIGHTENING COMPLEX: a botanical brightening, hydrating, and antioxidant concentrate, Brightening Complex helps to visibly brighten the complexion while providing beneficial moisturising properties. Utilising an innovative blend of proprietary brightening active ingredients and pharmaceutical-grade botanicals, this effective, high-performance formula concentrates on not one or two but all five mechanisms that contribute to the look of uneven skin tone. Additionally, it visibly rejuvenates skin and helps to reduce signs of skin ageing while promoting controlled exfoliation.
