I don’t know about you, but every time winter comes around, my skin goes haywire. Dryness, acne, fine lines and dehydration are just some of the things my poor complexion goes through during the colder season, and this year is no exception.
I’m always on the hunt for new skincare, and as I get older, I’m trying my best to stay on top of my anti-ageing routine. It’s an age-old myth that a good skincare routine will set you back hundreds of dollars because frankly, there are some phenomenal products out there that won’t break the bank.
I just turned 27, and while it’s still technically young, I am starting to spot the first signs of ageing. For me, it isn’t an issue that’s easy to tackle, because anti-ageing products don’t always react well with my sensitive skin.
My already dry and dehydrated skin doesn’t need to shrivel up anymore from the strong ingredients in so many skincare products. So, when QV announced a brand new serum, I couldn’t wait to tell everyone all about it.
There’s a reason QV is loved by so many (including your dermatologist!). The brand creates gentle yet scientific formulations, and you won’t need to take out a mortgage to be able to afford it.
QV
The QV Face Hydrate and Renew Serum is formulated with moisturising and antioxidant ingredients such as vitamin B3 (niacinamide), pro-vitamin B5 (panthenol), vitamin E (Tocephorol) and Avemid15, witch hazel and glycerin which helps hydrate and plump the skin.
If you’re scratching your head after reading the above, just know that the ingredients in this wonder serum will improve the look and feel of your skin, and is perfect for those like me who want the anti-ageing benefits without the irritation.
Priced at $20.99, the QV Face Hydrate and Renew Serum is available at pharmacies and online, so not only is it affordable, it’s accessible too. Just apply one to two pumps on your face and neck morning and night after you cleanse and follow that up with your favourite moisturiser. It’s as simple as that.
The niacinamide helps unclog your pores and gets rid of any pesky bumps that tend to form around this time of the year, while the Avemide15 will calm the skin and reduce discomfort.
