SKINN

Founded in the heart of Los Angeles by licensed esthetician Dimitri James, SKINN is an exciting new addition to QVC’s repertoire, creating formulas that balance science and beauty with professional-grade ingredients. We love its no-nonsense approach to skincare, and how easy it is to take your regimen to the heights of the professionals thanks to how effortless they make application. From lash-loving mascara to innovative serums, its skincare spans a wide range of formulas, and these are just two of our favourites!

Non-Negotiables DermAppeal Microdermabrasion Treatment

First up is our Product of the Month, and it’s taken that title for good reason! SKINN’s expertly-created Microdermabrasion Treatment aims to emulate the remarkable results of a professional microdermabrasion treatment at home, gently working to resurface the look and feel of your complexion and leave it with a radiant finish. It’s easy to use, too: simply apply it to wet skin and gently massage it in circular motions for 1 – 2 minutes, then remove it with warm water. Simple!

Try it for yourself at a fantastic price this month and prepare to get your glow on.

Deep Wrinkle Protocol Facial Treatment Duo

Finding formulas that work for mature skin while also slotting into your existing routine can be a real challenge, but this dynamic duo makes it easy. There’s a serum for your complexion and one specially formulated for your delicate eye area, which both work intensively to help soften and smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles across your skin, all while simplifying your anti-ageing ritual so you’ll stick to it! We love how lightweight these formulas are too, meaning they won’t sit sticky on your skin and sink in for maximum benefits.

Nassif MD

You might have heard the name before, because Nassif MD is founded by world-renowned facial plastic and reconstruction surgeon Dr Paul Nassif, who has years of industry expertise to his name. Creating skincare that helps to reveal a youthful, radiant look, they’re even Leaping Bunny-accredited (a big tick in our books!). Here are just two of our favourite formulas.

60 Detox Pads

Loved by lots, these little pads are the perfect way to give your skin a revitalising boost, all in a couple of sweeps! Each pad is soaked in blend of glycolic, salicylic and lactic acids and works to deep cleanse, exfoliate, smooth and soften the look of your skin, promoting a gorgeous glow you’re sure to fall in love with. They’re so easy to use that you’ll be picking one up every day, and the difference they make is truly wow-worthy.

Soft Focus Hydrating Day Cream

When it comes to facing the day, you need a moisturiser that really does it all. This one is a multi-tasking marvel, working to deliver deep hydration to your complexion as well as helping to reduce the appearance of pores, fine lines and wrinkles. It even helps to impart a luminous, radiant finish to the skin, making this a day-to-day moisturiser that’s not so everyday.

Elizabeth Grant

Now this brand comes with an incredible story we love! Created by Elizabeth Grant over 70 years ago (she celebrated her 100th birthday this year!), after her skin was damaged during the Second World War, the brand creates incredible skincare solutions harnessing a patented ingredient called Torricelumn, that’s used in every formula they develop. Elizabeth knows a thing or two about beauty, having been a make-up artist at Elstree Studios in London, and now the brand’s formulas aim to give you skin confidence as your complexion matures. Ready to dive in?

Supreme Essence Of Torricelumn

Arguably Elizabeth Grant’s most cherished formula, Supreme Essence of Torricelumn really showcases what the brand is all about. Created to help revitalise your skin from all angles, this special serum works to strengthen its feel as well as helping it to look younger, smoother and radiant. It’s a fantastic choice for targeting the look of fine lines and wrinkles, or if your goal is to go make-up free.

Supreme Cell Vitality Body Cream With Ceramide

It’s not all about the face, either! Elizabeth Grant does so much more than amazing skincare, as demonstrated by this indulgent body cream, which might just beat your other body moisturisers with its rich formula and ultra-hydrating properties. Enriched with a revitalising blend of algae, plant stem cells and of course, Torricelumn, it helps to veil your body in a barrier of moisture from top to toe, so it’s the ultimate pampering present to your parched skin!

SBC

SBC is a skincare staple here at QVC, so much so that we don’t know what we’d do without it! But it wasn’t always the powerhouse it is today – did you know it’s a family-run British business that’s been going since 1990? Renowned for its refreshing gel formulations, as well as bath solutions and skincare, the brand’s focus is on fine aromatic blends and natural extracts, aiming to deliver the very best to your skin. These are just two of its offerings we love most, but believe us, it was hard to choose!

Summer Skin Aloe Vera Body Gentle Hydration Duo

For a hit of daily refreshment, turn to this dynamic duo! Getting back to basics with a Body Wash and Body Milk, these formulas are anything but ordinary, infused with aloe vera and cucumber for a soothing experience. Designed to help lock in hydration and restore skin’s moisture while they work, these wonderful formulas are your go-to for that coveted fresh feeling without stripping your skin. Your daily shower routine just got the ultimate upgrade!

6-piece Propolis & Salicylic Acid Top to Toe Kit

Ideal if you’re new to SBC as a brand (or if you’ve fallen in love with it already!), this amazing six-piece collection is dedicated to two hero ingredients in the skincare world: propolis and salicylic acid. From top to toe, you can bathe your skin in their benefits from first wash to finishing touch, thanks to the double dose of Propolis & White Willow Body Wash and Propolis Moisturising Gel, as well as a footcare duo to keep your pedi looking perfect! It’s the ultimate SBC experience in just one collection.

The post Wake up your make-up with these new releases! appeared first on Stories.

I’m not going on holiday this year, why do I need SPF?

We hear “should you wear SPF everyday?” a lot. The answer is simple: yes! Whether you’re heading for sunnier climates or just chilling in the garden, SPF needs to be a part of your daily routine.

“UVA rays are a year-round skin damager, penetrating cloud and glass and impacting cumulatively beneath the skin’s surface. Think UV “A” for ageing. 365-day UVA protection is particularly important for those looking to prevent and control existing pigmentation.”

Even if you’re just going for a stroll around the local park, your skin is still being exposed to harmful rays. Plus, with sun exposure linked to the appearance of ageing skin, SPF is a great tool in your anti-ageing arsenal to help maintain a more youthful-looking complexion.

“A good UV protection product now multi-tasks, delivering a lightweight, under make-up formula while also giving anti-ageing, anti-pollution, skin radiance and smoothing benefits, alongside the crucial high SPF and UVA filter as standard.”

We love Ultrasun‘s Face Essentials Trio, which boasts three SPF formulas specially designed for your face. Each one goes brilliantly under make-up as they’re super lightweight and sink into the skin quickly, while helping to keep your complexion moisturised. With classic Face SPF 30, a tinted version and a handy Face Mist SPF 50, there’s a formula to cover your skin whatever you’re up to, plus each one is a really quick step to tack onto the end of your morning routine. It’s facial protection without the fuss!

Another area of your face you shouldn’t neglect is your delicate eye area, which is not only prone to fine lines and wrinkles, but can just as easily get damaged by harsh UV rays. Choose a formula that’s designed to treat it, like Ultrasun‘s Eye Cream SPF 30. As well as delivering excellent sun protection, it works to reduce the look of wrinkles around your eyes, giving you instant, long-lasting results.

What can I do about pigmentation? 

From prevention to how to get rid of pigmentation, uneven and patchy skin tone is a big concern. Once you learn what causes pigmentation, the solution seems simple.

“UV rays are chief instigators when it comes to uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation as it sends the melanin-producing cells, melanocytes, into a production overdrive that causes a patchy, uneven, blemished skin tone.”

Using SPF daily is your best defense when it comes to prevention, but how can you help existing pigmentation? Ultrasun has you covered. The Anti-Pigmentation Face SPF 50+ is formulated to help improve the look of the visible signs of ageing, including pigmentation, and features a blend of skin-loving ingredients such as hexylresorcinol and Ecotin. What’s more, this one comes in an amazing supersize, so you can stay stocked up for longer!

Ultrasun’s biggest pigmentation tip? Be careful with your fragrance!

“Sprayed directly onto skin, perfume is so aggressive that it undermines the skin’s ability to protect itself against UV damage. Perfume-covered skin becomes more vulnerable to sun damage. That means the level of protection you get from your sunscreen is diminished. That’s why you often see women with speckled pigmentation patches on their necks and chest.”

What do I do about sunbathing? 

If the sun is shining, it’s fair to say that many of us will want to be outside, and a lot of us probably haven’t protected our skin well in past pursuits of a tan. Luckily, Ultrasun has a range of formulas, including Tan Activators for your face and body, that’ll help to keep you protected while you enjoy the warmer weather. If you’re keen to promote a gorgeous summer glow, don’t compromise on sun protection and instead opt for formulas like Ultrasun‘s Pre-Sun Tan Activator and After Sun Tan Booster, which will work to enhance your natural tan without prolonged sun exposure. Paired with SPF, you’re ready to head out into the sun. Here are some important tips to remember:

It’s all in the application

“Application is key. Apply liberally to all exposed, or potentially exposed parts of the body. The official guidelines state one teaspoon worth for the face. As a rule of thumb, use a teaspoon of sunscreen for each arm, leg, front, back and face including neck and ears.”

Know your skin and your formula

“Choose the right protection level for you, where you are and the temperature. Know the formula you’ve chosen, read the application instructions and, if advised, reapply as required, for example after swimming, perspiring or if you’ve rubbed it off.”

Protect more vulnerable areas

“For women it’s more likely on the shins and feet. The most common site for men to develop a malignant melanoma is on the chest, back and scalp. Lips are often forgotten and with no natural shade like the lower lip, the upper lip area in particular shows ageing from sun damage quicker.”

To ensure you’re covered from top to toe in stellar SPF formulas, why not check out Ultrasun‘s six-piece Discovery Collection? Boasting two formulas for the body, face and lips, every inch of your skin can be covered, so all you have to do is step out into the sun and enjoy.

Enhance your sleep space

We’re big believers in a peaceful environment when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep, which is why relaxing aromatics and the right sleeping aids can make such a difference to your night-time routine.

Start by introducing a specially-formulated scent to your evening ritual using a candle or reed diffuser from apothecary-inspired brand Anatome. With a comforting blend of natural essential oils including English lavender, Somali frankincense and sandalwood, this duo will layer on the fragrance before bed so you can unwind after a long day. Incorporating the same scent into your bed-time routine each evening can help your mind learn to associate it with sleep, so you can drift off more easily and feel relaxed, ready for the night ahead.

Fragrance doesn’t have to be reserved just for candles and diffusers, though – you can bring the soothing scent to your bedding as well, courtesy of This Works’ Deep Sleep Pillow Spray. A cult classic, this relaxing formula can be spritzed onto your pillow or sheets. You’ll enjoy notes of lavender, wild chamomile and vetiver, long after you turn out the light.

Your comfort as you sleep is just as important as your bed-time routine, which is why this duo of Chillmax pillows is an essential if you’re prone to overheating. Created from cooling gel, these versatile patches can be used as inserts for your pillow, under your sheets and so much more, plus there’s no need to refill or cool them down (unless you want to keep them in the fridge for extra cooling!)

If you’re light-sensitive, an eye mask is an essential for your sleep, and this one from Bloom and Blossom comes with a luxurious Dry Body Oil and a calming Sleep Spray to complete your night-time routine.

Sleep in skincare

Never underestimate the power of an amazing night-time skincare ritual. Whether you’ve yet to build one or you’ve already got your basics sorted, these special formulations will supplement your evening skincare routine to help you drift off and make the most of your beauty sleep.

Changing up your cleanser for the evening may not have crossed your mind, but the power of relaxing scent can (and should!) be harnessed in the skincare formulas you use. Did you know that Liz Earle’s iconic Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser comes in a Relaxing Edition, specially created for your evening ritual? It boasts the same amazing formula but it’s infused with the gorgeous scent of pure Damask rose petal and lavender essential oils to help you create a tranquil wind-down routine as you’re cleansing your skin.

After you’ve cleansed, pampering your complexion is the perfect way to feel happy and cared-for after a long day. We love formulas that will go that little bit further to giving you skin you’ll want to wake up to, such as Estee Lauder’s iconic Advanced Night Repair Multi-Recovery Complex. If you haven’t heard of it already, it’s an oil-free, fast-absorbing serum designed to sink into your complexion and give it a smooth, radiant look by morning. It’s particularly brilliant for mature complexions, although almost anyone’s skin can reap the benefits from it.

Speaking of mature complexions, Prai’s Meno-Soothe Sleep Mask is ideal for those whose skin gets parched overnight. Packed with hyaluronic acid, it will work to deliver deep hydration as you sleep, making it ideal if you’re going through menopause or if you’re keen to give your skin’s moisture levels a boost.

Sleep is the perfect time to encourage your skin’s natural regeneration process, the sloughing away of dead skin cells to help you feel as radiant as the sunrise! Nassif MD’s Complexion Perfection Detox Pads are a beloved favourite in the industry, working to gently encourage cell turn-over without fussy application – we love that they’re little pads you can just take out and sweep over your face in seconds (no elongated night-time routine here!). These pads also come with an ultra-hydrating serum you can use both morning and evening to help hydrate and brighten the look of your skin, working in tandem with the pads to give you a gorgeous glow. It even dries into a soft matte finish – perfect for banishing that greasy feeling as you sleep.

Retinol
Known by many as a wonder ingredient, retinol pretty much does it all – it can help smooth out the appearance of fine lines, even the look of skin tone, give your complexion a gorgeous glow and so much more. The thing we love most about this ingredient? Everyone can benefit from it, no matter what their skin type!

That’s why we love this dynamic duo from Murad, which will boost any complexion with the power of retinol, providing day-to-night care that will slot seamlessly into your existing routine. There’s a serum for the day and a night cream for the evening, each formula infused with retinol, so you can really try it out to see what it does for your skin! Just remember to add SPF to your routine to protect your skin from sun exposure, and you’re good to glow!

Collagen
Renowned for its bounce-boosting properties, collagen has been a buzzword in the beauty industry for years and shows no signs of slowing down. Hydrating, smoothing and oh-so-versatile, it’s in everything from face creams to daily supplements, and boasts benefits for your skin’s tone, texture and radiance.

And what better to celebrate this incredible ingredient than Elemis‘ renowned Pro-Collagen range? This duo boasts Pro-Collagen Night Cream and Superfood Midnight Facial that will work together to quench your skin overnight and leave it looking radiant by morning – just in time for that sunrise!

Vitamin C
Speaking of sun, we dare you to find a skincare ingredient sunnier than Vitamin C! Sure to give your complexion a brightening boost, this is one ingredient you’ll want to have in your skincare stash whatever the weather.

Amp up your whole skincare routine with this four-piece collection dedicated to this radiant ingredient, courtesy of Perricone. Complete with moisturisers for day and night, as well as serum and eye cream, it boasts everything you need to reveal your skin’s radiance throughout your whole skincare ritual.

Glycolic Acid
For amazing exfoliating benefits, look no further than glycolic acid. Also known as an AHA, it’s an ingredient that works to slough away dead skin cells and leave your complexion looking brighter and more even, as well as warding away pesky blemishes that can be caused by flaking skin. It doesn’t have to be harsh either – depending on the concentration, glycolic acid-infused skincare can be used every day to get your glow on and help you feel skin confident.

Alpha-H‘s lauded Liquid Gold range is ideal for harnessing the power of glycolic acid and discovering your skin’s luminosity. This three-piece collection will bring a bit of bottled brilliance to your regimen with iconic Liquid Gold treatment, an all-in-one toner, exfoliator, serum and moisturiser, as well as Golden Haze Face Oil and Liquid Gold Firming Eye Cream to target every inch of your complexion with glycolic acid goodness.

Ceramide
Just think of this wonder ingredient as your skin’s personal shield! Ceramide is the perfect preventative against environmental stressors as well as moisture loss, making it a silent hero in skincare that you’ll want in your arsenal!

This trio from Skinsense makes ceramide the star of the show, with a day cream, treatment mask and eye cream that are each designed to deliver hydrating, radiance-enhancing benefits to every inch of your complexion. The ideal starter set to find out if ceramide works for you, this collection is just the thing to slot into your skincare regimen.

SPF
Where would we be without it? Whether you’re stepping out into a hot summer’s day or you just want to prevent fine lines from forming, SPF is an essential in your skincare routine. But not all SPF is created equal – if you want to avoid the notorious stickiness SPF has a bad rep for, look no further than our selection.

Ultrasun is legendary for its luxurious, non-greasy formulas that feel good on the complexion without compromising on protection against UVA rays, which is why its facial formulas are loved by so many. This supersize duo of Anti-Pigmentation formulas boasts an impressive SPF 50+ and both clear and tinted formulas, specially formulated for your face, so you can enjoy incredible protection for a long time.
