What is it?
Environ Intensive Colostrum Gel, $87
One of the key products in the Environ Intensives Range, (the top shelf of products in this brand portfolio) works to enhance the immune function of the skin by strengthening, soothing and calming, and with that comes a reduction in the signs of ageing.
What's in it?
The key ingredient is colostrum derived from cows milk; it's the first milk generated late in pregnancy that is full of antibodies to boost the first days of a newborns life. Along with lavender oil that calms any inflammation, vitamin C and E that helps to brighten, soothe and heal dry or sensitive skin.
Why do we like it?
The change of season plays havoc on skin and spring is a time when allergies are at their peak. For me, it's when my skin is the most reactive. Dry, sensitive and often itchy, I also get the odd breakout on my chin, which has in the past left red marks on my face. This gel has been a life saver. It's a gorgeous lightweight gel-like cream that's so luxurious to use, and I like the lavender scent, especially at night. More importantly, it has helped heal the sensitivity and redness, and my skin feels hydrated and looks super smooth - I consider this my booster gel, designed to give my skin a healing kick-start at the change of each season.
The verdict?
This gel is ideal for anyone who feels their skin is not looking or feeling its best. It will pretty much combat any skin concern, soothing inflammation and calming any flare ups or break outs. You don't have to make any massive changes to your skincare routine - this gel is simple and efficient and will slot into anyone's skincare routine.
