It’s no secret that superfoods are having a bit of a moment of late! It’s really no wonder either, packed full of antioxidants, omega fatty acids, vitamins and minerals they are essential to maintain wellbeing and vitality. It isn’t surprising to learn that many of these super hero active ingredients are now making their way into our skincare and providing a radiant, youthful boost to our complexions.

Avocados, organic pumpkin seeds, Goji berries and matcha tea are just some of the numerous different superfoods found in the new vegan friendly Elemis Superfood skincare range - a collection of products derived from the power of concentrated superfoods combined with the science and expertise behind every Elemis formula.

Over the last 30 plus years sensitivities and allergies seem to have increased, things such as double cleansing and multi-masking were unheard of yet our skin is more traumatised than ever these days. New research has shown that bacteria such as bifidobacterium and lactobacillus can help with skin rejuvenation - cue the probiotics movement. The modern day SOS for replacing the good bacteria that has been washed away with the bad.

In short prebiotics are ‘food’ for our good bacteria strains, while probiotics are actually live bacteria. Both are clinically proven to calm and soothe irritated skin, while maintaining bacteria health to prevent the buildup of bad bacteria and ward off infection. The superfood range is full of antioxidants which act as a protective film on your skin, guarding your skin cells from damaging free radicals. Rich in omega fatty acids to deeply hydrate and help to lock in the skin's natural moisture content for a soft, supple completion. Finally they are packed full of vitamins and minerals which are essential nutrients your skin needs to stay healthy.

For a glowing skincare regime we recommend the following:

1. Cleanse your skin with the Superfood Food Facial Wash. With a gel-like consistency, the wash will remove impurities to leave a nourished glowing complexion. Broccoli seed, avocado and pumpkin seed oils balance the skin with a natural prebiotic whilst Wheatgrass, kale, nettle and minerals soothe the complection to leave a luminous glow.
2. Nourish your skin with the superfood facial oil. A blend of nine concentrated vitamin-rich oils that will help you achieve the glowing plumped skin we all crave.
3. Hydrate your skin with superfood day cream in the morning and the superfood night cream in the evening. Both are incredibly hydrating, the day cream will replenish the skin with nutrient rich antioxidants, whilst the night cream helps to replenish moisture and lipids in your skin barrier while you sleep thanks to its superfood supergrain complex.
