Dr Barbara Sturm Glow Drops

 

Get your glow on this summer with Dr Barbara Sturm’s gorgeous Glow Drops.

 Dr Barbara Sturm just so happens to be Kim Kardashian’s facialist and regardless of whatever you think about KK, she sure does have beautiful skin.

 It’s not that often that I see a celeb using a brand and think ‘omg I MUST own this product’, however as I wasn’t familiar with Dr Barbara Sturm I wanted to check it out.

 For those like me not so much in the know, Dr. Barbara Sturm’s unique, science-based products have achieved cult status with skincare devotees worldwide and her philosophy of healing the skin has challenged both aggressive approaches and the conventional wisdom.

At Dr. Barbara Sturm, our ethos represents the credibility of innovation without the use of toxic, harmful or aggressive ingredients in our products. We use advanced science ingredients that are healthy, healing and safe, nurturing rather than attacking living skin.

 Dr. Barbara Sturm products contain innovative, high concentration active ingredients adhering to Germany’s rigorous skincare ingredient laws. Our philosophy of skin healing also means we do not use substances and ingredients that are both unnecessary for the skin and may promote inflammation, including artificial fragrance, colour, micro plastics and aggressive preservatives.

 

Dr Sturm launched her first skincare collection in 2014 and while her skincare regimens are simple, the products are anything but.

 My introduction to this exquisite brand comes in the form of their Glow Drops.

 This luxurious, gentle serum effortlessly creates a fresh, soft, natural glow instantly.

Designed to revitalise tired, dull looking skin, the formula boasts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits to nourish, protect and perfect your complexion.

 Suitable for all skin tones and types including sensitive, Dr Sturm’s Glow Drops have been designed to give your skin a summer glow all year round; transforming dull skin and delivering a dose of intense hydration from winter to summer.

 Presented in a chic, fuss free, sleek transparent glass bottle with white dropper lid, you can see the soft, iridescent pink hues of the serum within.

 The formula is impressive to say the least.

 Firstly, the serum contains Dr Sturm’s formulation of both low and high weighted Hyaluronic Acid molecules which binds moisture and replenishes internal molecular levels, providing long lasting hydration and a visible plumping effect within the skin.

 Purslane, which contains high Vitamin levels and Omega 3 Fatty Acids, works to reduce visible signs of irritation while Wild Rose Extract helps to refine pores and create a more even appearance.

 Meanwhile, Polygonum Bistorta Root (a potent anti-aging ingredient) optimizes skin tone plus the addition of light reflecting pigments provide an instantaneous healthy looking glow.

 

 Silky, lightweight and opulent in texture, you can actually use the drops in a variety of different ways depending on the look you’re after.

 The first way is as a regular serum. Apply to freshly cleansed skin prior to your moisturiser and enjoy the added boost of hydration while it evens out your skin tone and breathes life back into your lacklustre complexion.

 You could, alternatively, mix it with your face cream as opposed to using it alone or even apply it over makeup as a highlighter on your cheeks and brow bones for a lit-from-within effect.

 After applying a full pipette onto my fingers and gently massaging over my face, my skin feels quenched and soft, comfortable and brighter.

 I’ve actually found myself using it as a primer as frequently as I do a serum thanks to its great ability to perfect and revitalise my skin, particularly of a morning when I’ve definitely not had enough sleep.

 I do feel that the Glow Drops have got my back when my skin needs a little extra TLC and there’s something very comforting in knowing that the formula is clean and free from nasty chemicals and un-necessary ingredients such as synthetic fragrances etc.

 Hey, if Dr Sturm is good enough for Kim Kardashian than its good enough for me!
