WHAT IS RETINOL & WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT IT?
Retinol is the must-have skincare ingredient because retinoids stimulate the skin to produce more collagen. This helps to soften fine lines and wrinkles and create new blood vessels, giving skin a natural, healthy glow. Retinol is a form of vitamin A and can help to fade age spots. It can be used alone or in a skincare product but, if used alone, always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, because retinol makes skin sensitive to the sun.
Pink Retinol Hydrating Serum
Perfect for mature skin, this hydrating serum should be applied at night to target fine lines and dark spots. Allow to fully absorb before moisturising.

HAIR HEROES
It may be the party season, but take care not to overuse hot hair tools and stylers, because they can dry out your hair and scalp. Make sure that hair is completely dry before using straighteners or curling irons to avoid dryness, breakage and split ends.
