The Skinsmith Team

Here in the office, you will find Lorna, Debbie and Russ so we’ll pass along each of our favourite summer products for you and maybe you will join us in celebrating those favourites by trying them out for yourself!

We’ll start with Debbie, a long time Eminence fan who has been working with Eminence in some form or another since 2009. Debbie is a trained beauty therapist who has travelled the world and experienced many different skincare brands and is proud to say Eminence is her overall favourite brand to use both personally and professionally….

 “There are not many products from Eminence’s range that I haven’t tried over the years, including products that aren’t necessarily the perfect ones for my skin type or concerns” says Debbie, “however for the summer I adore the lighter products as my skin leans towards the normal to oily side of the skin type scale!”

Here’s Debbie Top Three Favourite Summer Products + Favourite SPF

  1. Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser
  2. Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum
  3. Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Hydrator
  4. SPF – Daily Defense Tinted SPF50+

Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser is my go-to for the summer because I love the tropical scent, it makes me feel summery and its gel to milky texture deep cleanses whilst hydrating my summer skin. The mangosteens infuse the skin with vitamin B’s leaving it feeling clean, smooth and more radiant. If feels light and its lactic acid complex gently resurfaces dead skin for a healthy summer glow.

Citrus + Kale Potent C+E Serum, I love this serum it is a great one for the summer as Vitamins C & E work really well with SPF, they are better together making the perfect pair to protect your skin form environmental harm and damaging UV throughout the summer months. Vitamin C is a skincare hero ingredient helping to reduce redness, boost collagen production and brighten your complexion, add in healing Vitamin E and you have an antioxidant powerhouse in a light-weight serum. It is easy to apply and goes under any moisturiser, making it the perfect skin protector throughout the summer.

Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Hydrator feels great on the skin during the warmer days of summer. It is my favourite moisturiser as it is light-weight, smells amazing and if jammed full of vitamins and antioxidants to help protect my skin. On top of all that it has multi-weight hyaluronic acid, this is the perfect ingredient blend to keep summer skin hydrated as it works to lock in your own vital hydration, plus it infuses the skin on multi -levels with hyaluronic acid for uber hydration. This helps to keep my skin healthy looking and reduces dryness and fine lines as well. Who wouldn’t want this for the summer!

Daily Defense Tinted SPF50+ this is quickly becoming a top seller for Eminence’s SPF options, it is really hydrating and can be applied over moisturiser or on its own. It has a tint that blends to match many different skin tones and leaves a radiant, healthy looking skin. Plus it is SPF50+ with non-nano zinc oxide mineral SPF to protect you from UVA and UVB. It also has botanical retinol helping to boost collagen and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. A great healthy SPF with so many benefits with a slight tint to make your skin look and feel amazing!

Here’s Russ’s Favourite Summer Products:

Russ has also been using Eminence for many years and first came into contact with Eminence when he lived in Canada. “Because I have access to the full range of products here at The Skinsmith, I often choose something different to try when a product runs out. My choices for the summer would include”:

  1. Charcoal Exfoliating Gel Cleanser
  2. Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum
  3. Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturiser
  4. Daily Defense Tinted SPF50+

Charcoal Exfoliating Gel Cleanser- I like the minty scent and the deep clean this cleanser gives my skin. It is great for detoxifying and balancing a summer complexion, helping to remove impurities from environmental stressors and the addition of extra sun protection products during the summer.

Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum, I chose this because it is really moisturising and I find I need this more in the summertime. It smells great and my skin feels plumped and hydrated. You can use this serum underneath any moisturiser and it is packed with vitamins to help repair and prevent damage to your skin.

Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturiser is the best for reducing the redness in my skin, it feels rich and creamy and moisturising and is very soothing. With Chamomile, arnica and calendula this moisturiser is perfect for infusing the skin with moisture and reducing irritation, redness and inflammation. Perfect for sensitive, reactive or rosacea skin types and perfect if you get a little too much sun this summer.

Daily Defense Tinted SPF50+ I wear this everyday, and the tint is almost “see-through” it is not like make-up it is just enough to make my skin look more even and gives it more colour, almost like a light tan would. When I wear it lots of people say my skin looks great and ask me what I am using!

Lorna’s Top Three Summer Favourites + SPF

Lorna has been with The Skinsmith for over 4 years and is also a fully qualified beauty therapist. Lorna has also used many products from the line-up and has found Eminence to be the best for seeing results and improvements in the skin, including her own skin and her family’s skin, who are now all Eminence fans!

Lorna loves these products during the summer:

  1. Stone Crop Cleansing Oil
  2. Copper Tripeptide Serum
  3. Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Moisturiser
  4. Sun Defense Minerals – Medium SPF30

Stone Crop Cleansing Oil – I see this one on the best sellers list year after year and I know why! It gently removes all makeup including the eye area and leaves the skin feeling hydrated and clean without being oily. It’s perfect to use as a standalone cleanser or as the first part of a double cleanse with a cleanser to target a specific skin issue.

Copper Tripeptide Serum – this is one of Eminence’s newer products and I already find it amazing; it is great to support post treatment skin (e.g. after Microneedling) as well as on its own. It helps to reduce the look of redness due to dryness and really boosts elasticity in the skin giving a more even looking complexion. This serum absorbs into the skin super-fast and leaves the skin feeling so smooth.

Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Moisturiser – a lighter weight moisturiser with botanical retinol alternative Bakuchiol. It’s perfect for smoothing and firming the skin as well as minimising the size of pores. It feels so hydrating on the skin and deeply moisturising.

Sun Defense Mineral Powders – Medium Shade – These SPF 30 mineral powders offer UVA, UVB and blue light protection while perfecting your complexion with 6 shades to choose from. They feel really light on the skin and have a mattifying effect but because they contain botanical vitamins and antioxidants from green tea extract and buriti oil they still keep the skin nourished and hydrated. They are so easy to apply and re-apply throughout the day with a built-in brush to keep your skin protected. A spritz of hydrating Stone Crop or other mist will set the powder and offers extra hydration.
