There has been quite a lot of internet chatter lately about serum cocktails - but what is a serum cocktail and is it a good thing?

In short, a serum cocktail is when you mix two or more of your serums together as a ‘power serum’. Why might we do this? Well, the theory is that with so many of us having multiple serums on our shelves, we can save time by mixing them together before applying. Is this a good thing? I would argue not as, for me, it rather defeats the whole point of choosing, buying and using any serum.

While our skin is of course impacted by the vitamins and minerals we eat and drink, there are certain vitamins that are highly effective when used in skincare, too: Vitamins B3, C and E

When I developed my skincare range, maximising the use of truly efficacious natural ingredients was really important to me, and you can see this in every listing of ingredients on every product, and the inclusion of the right vitamins in the right products was top of my list of must-dos.  

As we move firmly into the holiday season, our skincare needs to change. I already talked about this in a recent post, but now I would like to get a little deeper into some of the best ingredients for summer skincare, which you may already have in your current collection, but are definitely worth looking out for if you’re topping up.

Summer holiday skincare - keep your skin safe and healthy

A good vitamin C serum will reduce wrinkles, help prevent sun damage, increase collagen production and reduce hyperpigmentation, or sun spots.
