Moisture Matters: Five moisturising skincare products to nourish your skin this autumn

Contrary to what we were taught at school, the first signs of autumn are not the sight of falling amber leaves, but the feel of dry, cracking skin as we delicately put fingertips to face. Whether you prefer a slather of hydrating cream, a dab of lightweight emulsion or a glistening layer of regenerating night serum, keeping your skin plump is key. We spill the beans on the moisturising skincare products hitting the shelves this season.

First up, is Japanese beauty and skincare brand Tatcha’s Indigo Overnight Repair, a soothing moisturising treatment that visibly calms any irritation or inflammation and delivers active natural ingredients to strengthen the skin’s defensive layers. You can rest assured that the product will work to counter the effects of everyday exposure to harsh weather and pollution, so you wake up refreshed with luminous, healthier-looking skin.

If you’re looking for a lighter application, Ecological Compound emulsion from French skincare and cosmetics brand Sisley Paris is just the ticket. Packed with carefully balanced ingredients such as ginseng, rosemary, horsetail, hops and centella asiatica, this water-based serum moisturises, nourishes, revitalises and boosts the epidermis’ protection while toning facial contours. It can be used alone or before your usual moisturising cream for additional hydration.

Not neglecting the eyes, we’ve included a quick-effect eye cream, Génifique Yeux by luxury skincare line Lancôme, that aims to visibly strengthen the eye area and provide a more radiant, youthful look in just seven days. Enriched with a complex of seven pre- and probiotic fractions, it’s light to the touch but packed with strong, defensive moisturising elements.

Alternatively, marine-inspired La Mer continues to perfect the art of fermenting sea kelp into miraculous skincare products. Its latest all-nourishing, feather-light emulsion is packed with micronutrients. The Hydrating Infused Emulsion comprises nutrient-rich kelp and soy, as well as lime tea concentrate, to counter the effects of free radicals, and antioxidants to calm redness and inflammation – effortlessly revitalising the skin with the brand’s trademarked cell-renewing Miracle Broth.

Last but not least, internationally renowned cosmetics company Estée Lauder’s new Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix is designed to offer a more supple, youthful contour around the eyes. Infused with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants, the formula promotes collagen production to target the reduction of expression lines and dark circles, while fortifying the delicate under-eye area for a healthier glow.

Goldilocks: Give your visage a golden radiance

The onset of cooler, harsher weather has fortuitously coincided with an arsenal of newly-launched skincare products that promise to not only protect our delicate skin from winter woes, but to turn our natural glow up a notch or two.

Notable among these face-focused fares is Parisian beauty label Darphin’s 8-Flower Golden Nectar Essential Oil Elixir, which apparently combines eight potent flowers – including soothing lavender and purifying ylang ylang – with 24K gold, endowing the skin with a radiant sheen. Also using gold, this time in the massager, is Korean skincare maison Sulwhasoo’s Timetreasure Invigorating Eye Serum, with its golden eye-care massager said to help flush out extra fluids from under the eye region, thereby aiding in depuffing.

Meanwhile, premium Japanese beauty brand Albion has added a new product – Albion Excia Embeage Diofons serum – that looks to utilise the goodness of not one, but 12 mineral elements (including gold leaves) to confer a natural shine on your face, while reviving the dermis from within. Taking a similar approach is French luxury brand Guerlain, with its new Orchidée Impériale Black Eye And Lip Contour Cream featuring microbeads of silver, ivory and pink pearls set with ultra-fine 24K gold particles, all of which apparently combine to diffuse a subtly reflective light, proffering a bright glow to our complexion.

Finally, celebrated skincare specialist Tata Harper has just launched the Elixir Vitae serum and Elixir Vitae Eye Serum, two products that purportedly harness the goodness of all-natural ingredients to bestow a luscious blush that can withstand the harshest winter winds.

 

Sisley’s new anti-ageing creams make their presence felt in Hong Kong

 

French beauty brand Sisley has just added two new products to its anti-ageing range Sisleÿa. The two new creams – Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge Eye Cream and Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge Lip Contour Cream – not only fight ageing caused by genetics and environment pollution, but also those linked to lifestyle and harsh makeup routines.

For the Hong Kong chapter of the launch, Sisley held an exclusive cocktail event at the Mandarin Oriental, which was attended by a bunch of socialites, including Marie Zhuge, Jade Lui, Christine Kuo, Yvette Yung, Michelle Cheng, Yolanda Choy Tang, Helena Pong, and many more.

Nicolas Chesnier, Regional Managing Director of the Asia-Pacific division of Sisley, specially flew in to kick off the event. He explained that the special formula works on the most vulnerable areas around the eyes and the lip and ensures healthy functioning throughout the cell’s life cycle.

Guests were invited to try out an eye and lip massage session with the specially designed Ridoki Massage Tool that comes with the limited-edition version of the product.
