The Calecim Professional Pigment Solution, £120

The Calecim Professional Pigment Solution expertly addresses hyperpigmentation and melasma in a number of ways. Firstly, the Calecim Pigment Solution serum strengthens the skin’s reaction to inflammation, a key cause of skin discolouration. As well as this, the Professional Pigment Solution improves the body’s repair mechanisms. An insufficient repair response results in melanin being deposited across the skin, which appears as age spots and dark patches. Furthermore, the Calecim Pigment Solution serum accelerates the body’s natural autophagy. This is the process of degrading and getting rid of unwanted tissue, including excess melanin. Calecim know their stuff, and this is advanced formula can really make a difference to your skin!

The Jojoba Company, Australian Jojoba, £13.99

Jojoba Oil is probably one of the most versatile ingredients used in skin and hair care products around the world, and that’s because it’s not actually an oil. Jojoba “oil” is actually a liquid plant wax that comes from the Jojoba nut and very closely resembles the sebum that our bodies naturally produce to protect and moisturise our skin. It’s about as ‘au natural’ as you can get and is the perfect ingredient for hair, face, and nails… you name it!
