You need to decide which products suit your daily face and body routine. The skin care range includes face moisturisers, serums, eye creams and body lotions. You can find individual items or choose sets that provide a complete routine in one box. Brands include NIVEA, L'Oreal Paris, Olay, Aveeno, Garnier and Weleda. The collection covers products for a routine you already keep up, as well as options for anyone starting a new one. Read the labels to see the ingredients and how to apply each product.
What matters most
A key choice is finding the right formats for the time of day. A day cream with SPF and a plain night cream is enough for most people. Serums are thinner liquids that go under your moisturiser. You should apply the thinnest product first. The range includes serums from NIVEA, L'Oreal Paris and Olay. You can read the package to see what the product is made for. Where a product says anti-age, that is the manufacturer's claim and we repeat it as written on the pack. NIVEA Men offers an anti-age face gel and a cream with SPF15.
Choosing by ingredients
You can select products based on their key ingredients. Hyaluronic acid is added for hydration, and you will find it in the NIVEA Cellular Expert Filler serum and L'Oreal Paris sets. Vitamin C is included for brightness. Niacinamide is used for uneven tone. Bakuchiol is sold as a plant based alternative to retinol. You can find bakuchiol in the NIVEA Cellular Expert Lift day and night creams. Some formulations combine ingredients together. Olay makes a concentrated face serum blending vitamin C and niacinamide. Read the label on each item to see the exact ingredients. Follow the label instructions carefully and ask a pharmacist if you are unsure.
Types of skin care
The range offers face moisturisers, serums, eye creams and body lotions. Face creams include day formulations with SPF and night creams intended as the final step of an evening routine. Eye creams are smaller products from brands like NIVEA Men and L'Oreal Paris. Body lotions are larger bottles from Neutrogena, I LOVE and Victoria's Secret. You can also find sets and kits in the collection. The Weleda Skin Food gift set contains body lotion, face cream and lip butter. The L'Oreal Paris Dark Spot Defender set provides a 4 step niacinamide routine. Face Halo provides reusable bamboo makeup remover pads in a wash bag.
Choosing SPF and tanning
Some face creams include SPF filters. The Olay Super Cream provides a daily face moisturiser with SPF 30 in a refillable 50ml container. Aveeno offers a daily face moisturiser with broad spectrum SPF30 and mineral sunscreen filters. NIVEA makes a Luminous 630 anti dark spot daily fluid with SPF 50. For the body, Babaria provides an exotic bronze coconut tanning jelly. This tanning gel contains SPF 0, meaning it lacks sun filters. S19 STUDIO + LAB offers a body gloss in bronze and champagne for a glossy finish on the skin. You should always read the pack for sun instructions.
Body lotions and application
Body lotions are designed for use over the whole body. I LOVE produces vegan hand and body lotions in 500ml bottles. These contain shea butter and natural essential oils like orange and basil. Neutrogena offers a 400ml deep moisture body lotion. Victoria's Secret makes a 236ml body lotion in a Bare Vanilla fragrance. You apply these products by rubbing them into the skin. Serums require only a few drops applied to clean skin morning and evening. For any bakuchiol products, NIVEA states you should use them no more than four times a day.
Serums go under your moisturiser. You should always apply the thinnest product first. For the NIVEA Luminous 630 face serum, you apply a few drops to clean skin in the morning and evening. The serums are lightweight and absorb without leaving a greasy residue. Follow the label for application advice.
