I wouldn't usually be bringing you a review on a Sunday, but this week was Christmas Gift Guide week and I still wanted to sneak this brand overview in!Skingredients是我今年早些时候通过奥林匹斯山（Mount Olympus）的一位皮肤神灵（Caroline Hirons）听说的品牌。尽管我现在已经从他们那里得到了天赋，但我出于好奇心订购了一些东西，所以我已经使用了他们的产品一段时间了，鉴于这是一条胶囊系列，这意味着我有一个为您评论整个范围...
Skingredients是一个由都柏林的皮肤面部护理人员Jennifer Rock（又名Skin nerd）创立的中档爱尔兰品牌。您拥有“核心四”必需护肤品，然后根据目前的皮肤需求，将您浸入和退出的“混合和匹配”产品。我认为这是一个非常酷的概念，可以替代“皮肤类型”是全部和最终的想法。他们的网站非常具有教育意义，但也易于消化，它们的配方不含香水，其成分是科学支持的。作为旁注，他们也确实做cleansing mitt* |£6 | which was originally under a different banner but now forms part of the the Skingredients line. You can check out my thoughts on this product and a little demohere。
Let's start with 'the Core Four' Step 01: thePreProbiotic Cleanse* |£23。我最初购买了它，不确定要从质地上期望什么，但事实证明是一款华丽的奶油清洁剂，所以我现在很高兴现在有备份，因为这些东西是好的!詹妮弗建议如果你更oily side (like her), this lotion-cream cleanser is still great, you can just add a bit of water onto your hands once you've dispensed a couple of pumps and it feels that bit lighter (though there's another cleanser in this line that would also be great for oilier skin). This is formulated with PHAs to provide a very gentle, everyday-appropriate, surface-level exfoliation, and also some hydration. There are also prebiotics and probiotics in the mix; the latter feed live bacteria and the former are these microorganisms themselves. This might sound scary but your skin and my skin is teeming with bacteria and striking the perfect balance is really important for a healthy barrier function, so your skin remains calm, hydrated and the oil levels are nice and balanced. I personally think a cleanser is a really great way of getting some of this goodness into your skincare routine. This cleanser can remove makeup; I haven't tried it on anything super heavy-duty (because I barely get beyond 'leggings on the sofa' these days!) but I think if you wear quite natural makeup with a bit of complexion and no waterproof eye makeup; this will likely do the job. It's currently one of my favourite morning cleansers; it softens, smooths and moisturises my skin. It's not foaming, it's not stripping, and actually; my skin often feels more hydrated after use than it did beforehand!
从核心四是一步02皮肤蔬菜前* |£39。这也是我最初在夏天买回的东西，所以我已经尝试了一段时间了，但是我确实要说这可能是我最不受欢迎的产品。不是因为它很糟糕，而是因为我只是在努力弄清楚！这是品牌的冠军，当我最初订购时，我没有这个范围的“主要”血清（我们将在下一步讨论），所以我对使用它有点困难，因为在含有去角质酸的血清之前，我通常不会使用酸性碳粉（有点过度杀伤），并且 - 鉴于肽 - 我也不会与维生素C自己混合。显然，它旨在与该系列的血清和谐相处，但是您是否真的需要两种产品来完成常规的“血清”步骤？当我认为这是一天的血清时，我只是有点迷失了这一点（显然它包含了增强渗透性的成分，因此，“ Pre-Serum'标签）更有帮助，但是在这里没有什么可以阻止您阻止您将其用作血清）和步骤03（我们将稍后进行）作为晚上的血清。而且，一旦我停止试图将其视为秘书； I found this worked a lot better for me. It's a lightweight gel-serum formulated with PHAs again (they're probably going to have a more exfoliating action here because it's a leave-on product, but PHAs have a large molecular size so it's not going to be anything crazy-intense for daily use), peptides (included because they're supposed to stimulate collagen growth, though I haven't enough conclusive evidence on this, so I primarily see them as plumping from a hydration standpoint) and, as the name suggests, there are lots of plant-based extracts that are rich in antioxidants to protect the skin against environmental damage. Of course, we also have a decent hit of hyaluronic acid in there to pull water into the skin (so I recommend applying this to damp skin). It's a nice plumping, hydrating serum that gave my skin a nice glow and didn't feel sticky or filmy. It's not my all-time favourite and there are products I love a lot more from this range but it's definitely an above-average all-rounder hydration serum.
步骤03是Skin Protein* |£39 |该系列中真正“活跃”的血清，适用于AM和 /或PM应用，尽管我发现自己在晚上更努力。它具有可爱的奶油质地，而不透明的反向泵包装确实有助于保持这些活性成分的新鲜和保护。我真的很喜欢用欧米茄脂肪酸在皮肤上保湿的方式，以使皮肤变得更加柔软和光滑，并保持其障碍良好和稳固。它的品牌为含有维生素A，C和E，所以让我们深入了解这意味着什么。所有形式的类维生素类似于维生素A，该产品含有视网膜棕榈酸酯，这是最不重要但最温和的，这就是为什么可以每天使用这种血清的原因，以及为什么我建议您向他们开始使用的类视网膜类似。类视黄素具有光滑皮肤的能力，修复衰老过程中发生的环境损害，并改善痤疮疤痕和皮肤质地的外观（但是它们不适合Accutane或怀孕 /母乳喂养的人）。
这里的混合物中还有3种形式的维生素C；抗坏血酸，醋酸棕榈酸酯和四己糖基抗坏血酸。抗坏血酸实际上是维生素C的黄金标准。它在提供皮肤亮丽能力方面具有最多的研究，可以帮助治疗色素沉着和促进肤色均匀的色调，并赋予这种瞬间的发光。棕榈酸酯和tretrahexyldecyl抗坏血酸是其两个油溶性衍生物的两个，可以真正帮助渗透到皮肤中。在维生素E方面，我们有生育酚和乙酸盐（油溶解）。这种抗氧化剂形式可保护和修复皮肤免受自由基损伤。合并，如果可以存在这样的东西，这三种成分是一个温和的动力！请记住，我使用了很多活跃的护肤品，而且我的脸非常习惯，但是我发现这很温和但非常有效。它确实提供了一种平滑效果，并且在我经历了一些激素突破之后，它有助于摆脱炎症后的色素沉着。对于那些想要不太复杂的护肤程序的人来说，这是全能的活跃者。它有效，它不是苛刻的，它是保湿的，它为您提供了一些您的皮肤所需的一切。
我们从核心四的最后一步是04：Skin Shield SPF 50 PA +++* |£39。There's a bit of a story to this one; I am a self-confessed hater of mineral sunscreens and I didn't order this product when I originally discovered the brand because, as far as I was concerned: I knew I wouldn't like it. However, I received it in a PR package so decided I'd give it a go and see what happened. If you don't know, there are chemical / organic sunscreens or mineral sunscreens. Mineral sunscreens pose no risk to marine life, whereas there is some evidence that certain chemical filters could contribute towards coral bleaching. Mineral sunscreens are also generally less irritating to sensitive skin types due to their composition. However, the downside is that they're usually thick, heavy and leave a silvery-blue white cast which is most visible on medium, deep and dark skin tones. They also have a bad rap for ruining makeup, and whilst that不应该be a factor when it comes to protecting yourself from skin damage and melanoma, we have to be realistic; no one's going to use a product every single day in the quantities needed to get the advertised protection if it looks a total mess.
This sunscreen provides high protection to the skin from both UVA (the rays that cause premature ageing, which are also consistent throughout the year, so if you want to be protected from them; you need to wear a broad spectrum sunscreen in the autumn and winter too) and UVB rays (the ones that cause burning). It has a slightly peachy tint, which isn't uncommon in mineral sunscreens, as the brand generally will want to offset any potential white cast, but it also has this beautiful fluid texture that melts into the skin beautifully to both moisturise and give it a healthy glow. As a side-note: this is definitely a sunscreen with added moisturising benefits, as opposed to a moisturiser with added sunscreen and will be enough on its own for some people, but - given it's almost winter here in the UK - I use moisturiser beforehand. It's also formulated with Vitamin E and niacinamide, which calms inflammation, regulates oil production and strengthens the skin barrier. This is the first mineral sunscreen I've tried that feels light and doesn't leave a hint of white cast. Often, I'll find products that are 'pretty good' but still a bit visible. Not this one; I can wear it with full confidence whether it's a makeup day or a no-makeup day. I can't guarantee it will work as well on every single skin tone, but if you've tried this product and have a deeper skin tone than me; I'd love to hear your thoughts. I never thought I'd see the day, but I've found my perfect physical sunscreen formula...
进入混合和匹配产品，我们还有另一个惊喜！我不会自然地倾向于Sally Cleanse|£23 | but, to be honest; I had everything else from the line so the completionist in me just wanted to pick up this product so I could review the lot. I generally don't like salicylic acid cleansers; they're usually所以drying on my skin and foam up to strip it of all moisture. However, this is a unicorn: a non-foaming, spot-fighting cleanser. I don't use this every single day, but that's kind of the concept with the Mix and Match line; you dip in and out of the products as and when your skin needs it. I personally use this during my more 'hormonal week' of the month and it doesn't feel stripping or drying on my skin, which is so rare for this sort of cleanser, in my personal experience! Salicylic acid is a BHA (so not suitable for you if you're pregnant / breastfeeding); an oil-soluble exfoliating acid. It can really get right into the pores to treat breakouts and also provide exfoliation that helps the appearance of any subsequent scarring. This really helps clear up my skin and you can even use it as a 5-10 minute treatment mask if you want. It's a great product that strikes the balance of giving anti-blemish, excess oil-removing goodness without disrupting the skin barrier or causing dryness. If you know someone with oily or spot-prone skin and they're using some really stripping Clean & Clean or St. Ives Apricot Scrub: buy them this!
最后但并非最不重要的是其他混合匹配选项：Skin Good Fats|£38。这是一个保湿霜,何鸿燊nest (at this time of year), I put all over my face, but it's designed to be used as a skin barrier balm. Therefore, if you have more combination skin; this could be perfect for applying on dry patches of skin to balance things out. Likewise, at this time of year especially, anyone can benefit from something like this as a barrier against the cold weather or as a repair cream following exposure to the elements. It's formulated with so much good stuff! I love ceramides; they naturally occur in the skin but deplete with age and are crucial to barrier function, so products containing them help retain water in the skin and also replenish it so it feels more moisturised and often less sensitised. There's oat extract to soothe the skin and nourishing non-fragrant plant oils are in the mix to provide that next-level moisture. There's also a shea butter derivative to soften, smooth and nourish the skin, alongside niacinamide, which we discussed earlier (in low doses it can do your skin barrier wonders) and Vitamin E (also in Skin Protein). It manages all of this in a formula that honestly doesn't feel heavy, smothering or greasy on the skin but still gives me enough nourishment. I absolutely love it and my only negative is that it's 30ml of product; I know it's intended to be a skin balm as opposed to a full-on moisturiser, but I think 50ml would be appropriate, especially as the packaging (one minor gripe I have with the entire range, to be honest) is quite bulky.
Overall, it's probably no surprise that I'm giving this brand my stamp of approval; I'm excited about it, their product range contains all the staples you need and presents them in a simplified manner. Best of all; you're getting active ingredients that are gentle on the skin butworkat a really reasonable price-point. I really recommend checking out Skingredients and they're definitely a brand I'll be recommending to friends and family who want effective skincare that's straightforward!
