If you’re all about that healthy glow when it comes to makeup and skincare then you’re gonna love this little gem from Glow Recipe.
Sitting within their iconic watermelon line of products is the Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops (£31).
Housed within the prettiest pink iridescent, tear drop shaped vessel is a beautiful lightweight serum to help create the illusion of dewy, fresh skin.
Bridging the gap between makeup and skincare, this hybrid niacinamide-infused highlighting fluid helps to visibly brighten your skin and delivers an effortless glow while helping to reduce hyperpigmentation.
Formulated without mica, glitter, or pearls, the serum imparts long lasting hydration while offering a subtle yet detectable lift to your complexion.
Suitable for all skin types including oily and acne prone, it instantly highlights your skin and is packed full of a host of skin friendly ingredients.
Unsurprisingly, the key element in the line-up is of course, watermelon.
Packed with protective vitamins A and C, skin-plumping amino acids, and the phytonutrient lycopene It he, it helps to moisturise, plump and soothe your skin while improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Niacinamide (a powerful vitamin and antioxidant) gets to work evening out your skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
It also helps to minimise the appearance of pores while soothing skin and brightening dullness.
Hyaluronic Acid, the undisputed king of skincare ingredients can hold up to a thousand times its weight in water, resulting in visibly plumped skin and vitamin E rich Moringa Seed Oil helps to deeply hydrate.
The serum itself is a beautifully lightweight fluid which possesses an almost gel like texture.
It glides across your skin, soothing and calming as it goes.
Skin is left feeling plump, firm and deeply nourished without feeling heavy, oily or greasy.
You can use the serum as the final step of your skincare routine or directly over the top of your makeup, depending on the intensity of the glow you’re after.
Unlike powder highlighters or indeed some liquid ones which can look pigmented and almost glittery, these Dew Drops manage to create the illusion of naturally highlighted skin without the aid of makeup.
They create an almost invisible sheen to your skin which catches the light to perfection, lifting a dull, tired looking complexion.
You can use them all over your face or concentrate on areas more traditionally associated with highlighters such as cheekbones and brow bones etc.
Its these kind of products that I really live for; skincare/cosmetic hybrids that don’t just create a gorgeous finish but actually look after your skin simultaneously.
They’re particularly good as well if you’re just after a little lift, say on the school run when you don’t have time to do a full face of makeup.
Applied over the top of your skincare regime they just bring your complexion to life, giving you the illusion of looking fresh and dewy, even if you’re dog tired.
Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops are available now from Cult Beauty and cost £31.
