Age-Busting Facial Cleansers
Discover four age busting facial cleansers from Restorsea, Nyakio, ClaySpray, and Elemis to help stop the aging of your skin.
Starting out a post with a woman’s age isn’t normal practice for HKI, but when a 47 year-old-woman looks as youthful and as fly as former member of singing group En Vogue and current R&B Divas: LA cast member, Dawn Robinson, you best believe we’ll be shouting it from the rooftops!
Whether it be by divine order or with the use of incredible anti-aging facial cleansers, Dawn’s appearance should inspire the masses to get with the anti-aging program toute suite…
New on the block is Restørsea Reviving Cleanser ($65, restorsea.com and Bergdorf Goodman). The chore of washing our faces every night to free it of makeup and daily dirt is never exciting, but you at least get more than just a clean face when you wash with Restorsea, which, by the way doesn’t strip away much-needed oil. This product not only contains natural ingredients like Japanese Songyi Mushroom – a bio-herbal extract to help brighten the complexion, it also contains Brown algae to reduce inflammation and increase elasticity as well as Vitamin C to reduce the appearance of age spots. This product is an ideal replacement for women who like the exfoliating and hydrating properties of a glycolic acid, but, who suffer the ill side effects.
nyakio Hydrating Face Cleanser with Kola Nut ($29, hsn.com) is a mix between an old African family recipe and the knowledge of talented skin care chemists. Made of caffeine & antioxidant-rich African kola nut, trichilia seed butter, chamomile oil, rooibos tea extract, lavender oil and other key ingredients, ‘Hydrating’ gently cleanses and hydrates and works for most skin types.
