Garnier's Take Care Challenge

Nov 26 01:40pm

This month focus on... PURE HYDRATION

One of the sucky things about being a teen is that oil production goes into overdrive, leaving you with greasy skin. But if you're thinking the best way to avoid the slick is to bypass moisturiser, you've got it all wrong. Your skin still needs hydration - which is not the same as oil!

Using a moisturiser will leave your skin supple and hydrated. However, skipping it denies your skin of its much-needed drink, leaving it unbalanced and prone to a host of other problems. So, what's the moral to this tale? Always remember that moisturiser is your friend, not foe.

HYDRATION HEAVEN.
Ok, so you get the part about needing to hydrate. Now you need to find the right moisturiser for you. And here it is: Garnier PureA Active Daily Treatment Moisturiser. It?s a light cream-gel that?s absolutely NOT greasy and packs a double punch: it purifies and hydrates. Plus it?s gentle enough to use every day!

SLEEP ON IT.
So you want smooth skin? It?s as easy as hitting snooze. Seriously! Garnier PureA Intensive Night Treatment Gel is a non-greasy night gel that absorbs quickly and works while you sleep. With zinc to control oil flow, salicylic acid for blemish battling and cucumber to refresh and hydrate, this hydrating wonder can be used with your PureA Day Moisturiser to purify and refine the skin you have into the skin you want!

BACK TO BASICS

Whilst moisturising is a must, make sure you follow the full 3-step skincare routine to get your skin looking healthy and clear!

STEP 1
Cleanse

Repeat after us: "I must cleanse day and night!". Garnier Pure Deep Clean Cream Wash is great for sensitive skin and will get rid of pollution, dirt and make-up. But for stubborn blackheads, try Garnier Pure Deep Pore Wash, which will clear out those suckers and leave your skin ready for step two!

STEP 2
Tone

Gaping pores? Shine-arama? You need to tone. Apply Garnier Pure Pore Purifying Astringent to your T-zone to tighten pores, dry imperfections and mattify the slick.

 

STEP 3
Moisturise

In case you missed the point - you gotta moisturise! Garnier Pure Long-Lasting Shine Control Moisturiser absorbs oil so your face will be matte and shine-free all day.


5 WAYS TO KEEP HYDRATED

1. Stay out of the sun! It zaps your skin of vital moisture.

2. Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! Morning and night, no excuses.

3. Drink eight glasses of water a day.

4. During Summer your body needs more water, so up the intake to 1½-2 litres daily.

5. Exfoliate weekly: this will clear the dead skin cells so the moisturiser can sink in and do its job.
