Your bag is empty
Twenty-somethings today expect a lot out of their Skincare, and rightly so. Formulas need to be lightweight, hardworking, multi-tasking - and attractive enough to belong on an Instagram feed. They also don’t obsess about anti-ageing the way their mothers may have, rather focusing on ingredients, and indulgent yet effective regimes that deliver on a preventative level, and add glow at every stage.
With these criteria in mind, Lane Crawford rounds up the top five Skincare staples that belong on every twenty-something’s top shelf.
Rather than traditional anti-ageing routines, one focused around prevention is the new approach favoured by twenty-somethings. Dior’s latest Capture Youth Skincare collection, which offers a personalised approach to delaying the first signs of ageing, encompasses a full Skincare collection of everything you need to keep skin looking youthful for longer.
Face masks are a mainstay of any twenty-somethings Skincare routine. Our picks? Clarins’ range of three intensive, plant extract-based SOS masks, which are gentle enough for any skin, no matter the age. The best part? They tick off all the skin’s essential needs: hydration, purification and nourishment.
By hardworking we mean one that’s both lightweight and multi-tasking; that goes a step further than just moisturising by restoring and replenishing the skin simultaneously. SK-II’s R.N.A. POWER Radical New Age Airy Milky Lotion, packed with vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids, does exactly that.
It’s obvious, but sunscreen should be a major player in any twenty-somethings Skincare routine. While we know the importance of using broad spectrum sunscreen every day, the trick is finding one that’s light enough to be layered with serums, moisturisers and makeup daily - and doesn’t leave your face with white residue.
We all know UV damage and airborne pollution contribute to free radical damage, so building in an antioxidant serum into a twenty-somethings Skincare routine is a no-brainer. Opt for a lightweight serum with a high potency of good-quality ingredients.
