T

he older we get, the more susceptible our skin

becomes to inflammation because the cells’

renewal process naturally slows. Take note of the

warning signs – rosacea, lack of radiance and a spike in

sensitivity – then act accordingly with a rose-infused

remedy. “Through the distillation process we can turn the

flowers into rose water or oil which means it’s extremely

versatile and can be added to many different formulations.

In our new SkinActive range we use rose damascene

petals combined with shea butter and coconut, that

are blended into our formlulas to help soothe and

hydrate without impacting the rose’s efficacy,” says

Atoshi. A real power flower, it also has astringent

properties so can tighten capillaries, combat blotchiness

while still mucking out pores.

ot just for sprinkling into curries or if you’re
extra fancy, your latte, turmeric is also spicing up
our skincare in 2017. Used for centuries by
Indian brides to brighten the complexion and even out
skintone, it’s the anti-inflammatory antioxidants that
make it a dermis-healing dynamo. “It contains curcumin
which increases the blood levels of the detoxifying
enzyme, glutathione S-transferase. This helps eliminate
toxins and keep skin clear,” explains Tipper Lewis, Herbal
Naturopath at Neal’s Yard Remedies. Great if you’re
fighting flare-ups or suffer with redness and rosacea, the
fact it’s a natural sebum regulator is another reason to rave
about the root as it means oily patches will be successfully
slurped up. And don’t worry, there’s no chance you’ll be
left with saffron-coloured skin.
