Foundation for over 40 skin......Do I need Studio 10 Youth Lift Glow Plexion in my makeup bag?

Times have changed haven’t they? If you would have told me a year ago that I would have spent so much of my time inside my home, not seeing family and friends face to face, working from home, spending days in lounge wear, not really going out for meals and basically doing life as we had always done, I don’t think I would have believed you!

Lots of our day to day lives now involve wearing masks. I noticed pretty quickly that my skin was starting to suffer from being hidden under a mask. As a result, I have been looking for a lighter product that will give my skin a boost on days when I don’t want to wear my normal make-up or days when I will be wearing a mask for a good amount of time.

Here is how I have been wearing ‘Youth Lift Glow Plexion’....

For days when my skin just needs a lift if it looks a bit dull and tired and I am not wearing my normal makeup, I will mix a bit in with my moisturiser, apply to my face and that’s it! It feels lovely and light but gives my skin a smoother finish and a natural glow. I basically look like me but a healthier version!

Days when I am wearing my normal makeup and I want it to stay in place all day even when I am taking a mask on and off, I apply this first as a primer and then put my makeup on top. It makes my makeup more smudge proof. It’s perfect for giving my complexion a more even look especially areas of hyperpigmentation - we all know our skin likes to develop those as we get older!

Then there are the days when your skin just needs an extra helping hand - we all have those. This is when I use Youth Lift Glow Plexion to highlight key parts of my face to give an overall glow and lift. I dot some under my eyes, on my brow bone and a little along my cheeks and gently blend it in. I have put a little on my eyelids too, to give them a shimmer! This fabulous product contains light reflecting pigments that flatter the skin. I like it because it's lovely and creamy but it isn't heavy on your skin. It actually gives a lovely finish to your skin too.

I am a scientist at heart, and I have to be honest, you can take the girl out of the lab but you can’t take the lab out of the girl! I always like to find out how a product does what it does. What active ingredients does it contain and what will they do for my skin? So what is it about Youth Lift Glow-Plexion that makes it so special?

Youth Lift Glow-Plexion has been created with specific ingredients to help post 40 skin look the best it can. All the ingredients have been chosen to boost the things that are sometimes lacking in mature skin. The headline active ingredients are anti-ageing Suberlift™, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C and E.

Ingredient
Suberlift™	This wonder ingredient lifts and firms the skin. It is a natural extract of the cork oak (Quercus suber), which contains the active ingredient suberin, clinically proven to tighten the skin. The tightening effect of Suberlift™ is provided by the hydrolyzed suberin, which creates a visible tightening effect on the skin. Because of the suberin, Suberlift™ forms a microcrystalline network that will bind to the skin’s surface and progressively tighten the skin.
Hyaluronic Acid	Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in our skin. One of its jobs is to keep moisture in our skin. As we age, our natural hyaluronic acid levels start to fall. Thankfully, we can put hyaluronic acid back into our skin in the form of synthetic hyaluronic acid to do the same job. Hyaluronic acid will boost the moisture content of our skin, hydrating, plumping skin, and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles. So having hyaluronic acid in Youth Lift Glow-Plexion means my skin will stay looking healthier for longer.
Vitamin C and E	This vitamin duo is excellent at hydrating and protecting the skin with their antioxidant properties. Antioxidants protect our skin cells from damage by stopping free radicals from forming. Free radicals are produced when skin is exposed to UV light and pollution and they cause ‘oxidative stress’ on our skin. This stress means that the skin struggles to repair itself and that in turn causes premature ageing.
