Simply Abu Dhabi Magazine XVIII

2 8 4 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I from English skin expert Liz Earle has been given a facelift for the summer. A limited edition version of their cult classic is now housed in a new bottle and has the luxury ingredients of jasmine and osmanthus – all completely natural, so even the most sensitive of skins will be in safe hands. It removes all traces of dirt and makeup and is also safe to use around the eyes. Simply massage it in and remove with the muslin cloth (included), which doubles up as your daily light exfoliation. Quick and easy. One then mustn’t forget to protect the skin. At this time of year more than ever, those pesky UVA and UVB rays are strong and vying for your skin’s attention. Combat them with a high sun protection factor in your moisturiser as well as high levels of ‘plus’ protection. To do this and add a hint of tint, Chanel has updated and improved their CC Cream. Now available in four shades, this little tube of wonder will even out your complexion, colour correct areas that need it and protect you with a fabulous high protection of SPF50/PA++++. If you want pure protection with some added benefits, skincare moguls Dermalogica have an impressive new release. PowerBright TRx™will give your skin complete protection with a high factor, but also get to work to brighten and even out any hyperpigmentation that might be lurking beneath the surface. Many of us now have been a victim of dark spots, caused by the sun, age, hormones, stress andUV damage. This trio of products will help to banish these and create a more even-toned skin – yes, please! There’s a day cream, night cream and a serum (to use underneath, prior to both), and as it’s getting to work on your already patchy areas, it will also create a preventative barrier for the future too. Combined with SPF50 in the day cream, you’re good to go. To bring some colour into our lives, Chanel is also on hand with their new summer Collection Méditerranée. Taking inspiration from the Riviera in the 1920s where Coco Chanel would escape to, the hues from that era and location are ever present here. Azure blue is the key shade, perfect for the Mediterranean climate where anything goes. Some incredible shades are to be found in their Sylo Eyeshadows as well as the nail polishes, and don’t forget a glossy pop on the lips. If you can’t wear colour in summer, when can you? Clarins is the go-to line to add some glow to our complexions. They too have an incredible line-up for summer in their Aquatic
