Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of visiting one of my favourite skincare brands – Kiehl’s – for a seminar about skincare.
So, what are the dos and don’ts of healthy skin? Stay out of the sun, avoid cigarettes, drink lots of water, avoid sugary foods and (believe it or not) vary the position in which you sleep. If every night you sleep with the same side of your face on the pillow, it can cause premature stretching and sagging of the skin!
Kiehl’s latest innovation (which I am absolutely in love with) is its Actively Correcting and Beautifying BB Cream. I’ve been using it non-stop! It’s the perfect formula for a light, weekend look – though I like it so much, I also use it on weekdays. It has a SPF 50 (refer back to rule #2 of health skin: stay out of the sun!) and is highly moisturizing. It’s packed with nutrients and vitamins, but is also a light concealer that corrects the appearance of irregularities and dark spots.
Kiehl’s was founded in 1851 in New York City, originally as a small apothecary in the Easy Village. Now, over 150 years later, the brand has a global presence and sells its quality skincare products worldwide.
The brand’s philosophy is to create products with beneficial, active ingredients. They don’tuse nasty synthetics and parabens, seeking to keep their formulas as natural as possible.
