Beauty Boy: Power boosters for your skin

One of the latest advancements in skincare technology (in North America) is the booster, or also known as an essence. It’s basically a lightweight, highly active lotion that will not only boost your skin’s functionality, but will also boost the rest of your skincare’s efficacy. It is a whole new step that can be added to anyone’s skincare routine. You would apply the booster after your toner and before your serum. While the booster or essence has been in the Asian market for many years, it is just slowly starting to enter the North American market.

One of the greatest boosters to try is Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate, created by Shiseido. It is extremely light in texture, absorbs into the skin quickly and has a wonderful soft scent. Shiseido spent 20 years researching skin immunity and has put everything they know into this beautifully crafted bottle. Ultimune will not only repair current damages on the skin but will also make the skin more resilient to future damage.

The latest skin boosters to hit the market are by Clarins, who launched three different products that all target different concerns. The first one is the Energy Booster, which has a high concentration of ginseng; an ingredient that has been used in Chinese medicine for many years. The booster will revive radiance, re-energize the skin, as well as get rid of any signs of fatigue.

The second one is the Booster Repair, which is perfect for anyone who has had minor damage done to their skin, such as a sunburn or minor aesthetic treatment. It is rich in mimosa tenuiflora extract that helps reduce discomfort and redness as well as boost the skin’s recovery time.

Lastly, is the Booster Detox. This booster is concentrated with a green coffee extract that is high in caffeine. The green coffee is perfect for anyone who overindulges or likes to party a bit too much as it will help purify the skin, revive radiance and plump up the skin.

All of these Clarins boosters are best when mixed in with your face creams, serums or foundations. The easy-to-use dropper bottle will allow you to add three to five drops to your desired product, mix it well and then press it into your skin.

These are just a few examples of some of the most powerful skin boosters on the market. Although it is another extra step in your already busy life, you will quickly notice how effective these products really are and how much of a difference they will make to your overall skin’s health.
