Lockdown has brought on a new phase of making up, and many addicts are stripping down on their usual slap and embracing the natural face in favour of their usual mask- which also means addressing the reality of skin health.

Full-frontal facial nudity, requires some courage for those who never normally leave the house without a base coat, bb cream and concealer, and there’s no doubt, without makeup, many consumers feel vulnerable; but working from home during lockdown, is a good opportunity to get back to basics with your skincare routine, and learn to love your skin again.

All skin types will welcome a break from the pollution, injectables and pore clogging routine that goes into a daily commute, so take advantage of this time out by introducing anti-ageing skincare supplements to your diet. Instead of cursing missed Botox appointments, consider collagen and hyaluronic acid serums along with ZENii’s skin fusion or Aeterna Gold with Astaxanthin to give a natural glow. Derived from the same fresh water algae that makes flamingoes pink, the capsules provide a potent antioxidant which reduces the signs of ageing, enhances skin condition, helps protect against the effects of the sun and improves elasticity and hydration.

With summer fast approaching and social gatherings on the horizon, what better than to meet your friends again with a new outlook, and fresh, bright skin, rather than your old facepaint.
