Get dewy skin – in just 2 minutes

If your skin is feeling duller than a tax return, don’t worry ‘cause Dermalogica’s Phyto Replenish Oil is here to save the day. We’re a week into December — aka the gloriously festive month where eating lots of cheese and drinking lots of champagne is not only accepted, but practically forced on us by all corners of our social and professional lives — and while it’s undoubtedly the best of times, our skin is starting to take a hit from all the fun. #ToughLife.

We’ve tried so many products to get that lit-from-within-glow that makes you look like you’ve just come off the back of a 5-day juice detox or spent the last three weeks living it up in Bora Bora, when really you’ve spent the last two nights staying up late and drinking too much.

While there’s a slew of products on the market that are aimed at giving you the same glow, they often have an iridescent or shimmer added to them, which can just make you look like you’ve gone OTT on the makeup front. A few drops of Dermalogica’s Phyto Oil (we like to call it magic oil) will have you glowing like a 150-Watt light bulb though, which is great news because nothing rounds out a fab party outfit quite like beaming, dewy skin. The perf oil has a number of skin care benefits and will get you that smooth summer glow in no time. And it’s all made greater by the fact that it’s perfectly achievable for even the most low-key (read: lazy) party girl. Guilty.

Phyto Replenish Oil can be applied on its own, but you can also add it to your moisturiser and/or foundation for added glow. And if you’re one of those gals who hears ‘face oil’, and thinks ‘oil slick’, no probs, ’cause Phyto Replenish Oil is as light as a feather so your face will thank you in the long run.

Words, Madeleine Woon. 

Start to say your goodbyes to your #DullSkin. The Phyto Replenish Oil formula takes a three-phase approach to help undo ageing, while making you look dewy af. Win, win.

Start your two minute routine out by washing your face — we prefer to wash ours with a gentle cleanser in the early AM.

Add 2-3 drops of Phyto Replenish Oil to your skin with your fingertips, and let the tamanu oil and chia seed oil start to do their thang.

Step 3

Press the oil to your ‘glow points’ (think about where you add highlighter; temples, cheekbones & bridge of the nose), then smooth over the rest of your face with your fingertips. The phytoactives will help restore the skin’s natural barrier, the essential oils will smooth out any visible lines, and the added extracts create a seriously luminous antioxidant shield against skin damage.

Optional: Add a drop of Phyto Replenish Oil to your moisturiser — this will help to strengthen, hydrate and further protect your skin.

Step 5

Apply the moisturiser to your face and watch that dry, matte look dissipate.

Step 6

Optional: Mix a drop to your foundation. This will help to substitute your skin’s natural lipids without causing a greasy shine.

Et voila! You’ve just hit all your silky smooth summer skin goals.
