Fresh In A Flash

It’s officially party season! Here are our top picks in SOS skincare to keep you glowing all day and all night long

1 MICRO Facelift

Formulated by renowned South Korean plastic surgeon Sang Hoon Park, Private Doctor Minus Serum combines elements of plastic surgery and skincare, all minus the painful injections of course. The serum is a topical treatment that contains micro-tingling spicules and patented sodium deoxycholate to lift and improve the appearance of the jawline and décolletage over time. Like its namesake, the former ingredient leaves a tingling (but not painful) sensation on the skin, and helps to improve overall product penetration. PRIVATE DOCTOR Minus Serum

2 ONE-MINUTE Serum

Adding an extra step to your skincare routine is no longer a chore with these travel-sized serum sachets. The M-61 Hydraboost Serum Pads are infused with a powerful concoction of hyaluronic acid and peptides to give your skin a much needed hydration boost. Hyaluronic acid provides moisturising properties, while peptides (which comprise of amino acids) help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Each pad is wrapped and sealed individually to prevent oxidisation and to preserve the optimal freshness of its active ingredients. And best of all, it only takes a minute to swipe on the product evenly onto your face and neck. M-61 Hydraboost HA Serum Pads

3 THE ULTIMATE Detox

Air pollution, free radicals and heavy makeup can take their toll on your skin over time, especially if it isn’t cleansed properly and thoroughly before bedtime. Our favourite leave-on mask for drawing out impurities and detoxifying the skin is this charcoal and honey one by Origins. The bamboo charcoal effectively neutralises and eliminates pore-clogging bacteria, debris and excess sebum, while golden wildflower and fermented honey helps to nourish the skin and soothe any inflammations.
