Three underrated skin care products for your beauty regime

If you are religiously doing your 3 or even 5-step, daily skincare routine and your skin still feels dry, dull or just isn’t living it’s best dewy life…you probably need to look into adding one of these three, totally underrated products recommended by Fundamentals Skincare: 

• Gentle exfoliating tonic: if you still have dry, sensitive and dull skin or suffer from uneven skin tone and clogged pores, you probably need to up your exfoliating game by introducing a gentle exfoliating tonic. This will not only help create smoother skin, it will also protect against inflammation and keep impurities at bay. 

• Hydrating body cream: We go all out with fancy hydration serums, creams and masks for our face, but what about the rest of your body? Using a daily hydrating body butter that targets dark marks will help your skin in the long run. Remember hydrating ingredients in skin care products attract water to the outermost layer of the skin, while moisturising ingredients lubricate the skin to prevent water from escaping.
  

• Milk toner: Made to gently refresh your skin without stripping it of its natural moisture, toners are ideal to prepare the skin to absorb your post-cleansing moisturiser and any other skin treatments that you may apply. If you feel like your skin is increasingly sensitive, inflamed or irritated, you might have an impaired barrier. A milk toner will help reduce inflammation and improve barrier functioning leaving your skin smooth, soft and hydrated.

Our fave products to try: 

1. Polyhydroxy Tonic with 5% Gluconolactone and 2% Lactobionic Acid is safe for sensitive and dry skin.
2. Niacinamide Body Butter with 2% Niacinamide keeps your skin soft and supple, while targeting ingrown hairs and dark marks thanks to the ever popular Niacinamide.
3. The Baobab Milk Toner with 5% Baobab Seed Oil, 5% Jojoba Seed Oil and 5% Aloe Leaf Juice is a good first step for toner newbies.
