Emma Hardie Vitamin C
I’ve been a fan of Emma Hardie skincare since its launch in 2009. Can it really be seven years since it launched?! Emma herself is an incredibly fun and lovely woman, and the most amazing facialist. A facial from her is truly something else.
Her Amazing Face range has won many awards, and is a simple but effective capsule range, with products built on personal dedication, passion and her own experiences in self-healing.The brand is so beautiful to use, and perfect for all ages. Since 2009, products have been added but, now, there’s a new range – the Vitamin C range.
Vitamin C is a beauty world favourite ingredient, and Emma loves it too. “Vitamin C is one of my favourite skin beautifying ingredients,” she says. “It is safe, non-invasive and helps rebuild and strengthen the skin leaving it hydrated, translucent, even and bright.”
This range comprises of two products – the Moisture Boost Vit+C Cream and Vit C Intense Daily Serum – an advanced, anti-ageing, powerful duo developed to help counteract and correct the visible signs of ageing.
They’re Super-C charged for brighter, radiant skin, and Super C-charged for brighter, radiant skin, and are at the luxury end of the beauty market – but they are worth it. If you haven’t tried Emma Hardie products, then you really must. The Moisture Boost Vit + C Cream (£45) is a luxurious daily treatment cream combining super-charged rejuvenating ingredients that provide a lustrous and ultra-refined complexion. Delivered to the skin in an encapsulated timed-release delivery system, the new Boost Vit + C Cream helps to improve the appearance of age spots, strengthens, brightens the skin and provides moisture resulting in a healthy glow. The cream is packed with ingredients, so let’s have a look. It contains 2% Vitamin C, to help suppress the production of melanin, reduces the appearance of pigmentation, dark spots and promote collagen production for a firmer, smoother skin and reduces skin redness.
Vitamin B3 is a skin brightening peptide that helps to minimise the appearance of uneven skin tones and skin discoloration while helping to promote a uniform complexion, refines the pores and boosts moisture levels.
Red Algae extract helps to reverse UV damage, contributing to a more luminous and refined complexion. Sweet Almond Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Sesame Seed Oil and Organic Evening Primrose Oil provide moisture, regenerate and nourish, while Moringa Seed extracts help to purify and protect against pollution.
Pumpkin enzyme promotes cellular renewal without sensitising or irritating the skin. Anti-ageing Coenzyme Q10 enhances the skin’s natural antioxidant defence by protecting against free radicals and helps to provide a visible effect on the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Use this cream day and/or night, on top of the Vit C Intense Daily Serum.
The Vit C Intense Daily Serum (£49) is a highly, dynamic advanced treatment serum with an intense, state of the art delivery system which helps the
skin to alleviate the signs of pigmentation, sun damage and effectively helps to diminish wrinkles. A water based, silky and light nourishing serum contains a synergistic blend of potent ingredients, helping to increase the skin’s ability to improve skin firmness, radiance and restore a glowing vitality.
It contains Rice starch extracts which form a soothing and protective layer on the skin’s surface and provides a smooth, effortless and silky base prior to make-up application. There’s 2% Vitamin C in there too, in a timed release delivery system which promotes collagen synthesis helping to fight the ageing
process and improve the appearance of aged skin. It helps to diminish existing skin pigmentation as well as suppressing melanin production. It also contains Vitamin B3 and Red Algae.
The essential oils of Roman Chamomile, Rose Geranium, Peppermint, Lavender and Sweet Orange provide calming, antiseptic and purifying properties helping to regenerate, tone and provides relief to the skin.The combined scents help to calm and uplift the senses. You don’t need to put serum over your whole face – you can apply it to areas that need some TLC, great for men and ideal to replace a moisturiser for oily skin. I love this range, you can use it with the other Emma Hardie products for a full Emma skincare regime!
