PRIMARK has just unveiled its “cosy season” skincare range – and beauty buffs are “in love”.
Your skincare routine should change in autumn and winter because the colder and drier weather zap moisture levels.
As a result, Primark has declared its Vitamin C-infused products as ideal for “keeping your skin hydrated coming into the cosy season”.
Among the offerings is a cleanser, serum, eye cream and face mist.
During autumn and winter, skin often becomes dull due to a lack of sunlight and the harsh, cold air.
Vitamin C is known for its ability to brighten the skin by inhibiting melanin production, which can help to even out skin tone and bring a radiant glow.
What’s more, it is a powerful antioxidant that helps combat oxidative stress caused by environmental aggressors like cold winds and indoor heating.
Both of these winter inevitables can lead to skin damage and premature ageing.
Vitamin C will neutralise these free radicals, and therefore prevent damage to collagen and elastin fibres, which are key for skin’s firmness.
The Vitamin C Energizing Jelly Cleanser will set you back just £4 from the Primark range.
The matching PS… Skin Booster Serum with 10% Vitamin C costs just £7 and has been dubbed a skincare “game-changer”.
Primark bosses said: “Specifically formulated to brighten, smooth and firm, to even skin tone and reveal a more radiant complexion, it’s ideal for tired and dull skin or when it’s just needing that little extra boost.
“Raise your hand if your glow levels have ever been personally victimised by the changeable weather.
“The best time to use is in the morning, before your moisturiser and SPF, to ensure you get those protective antioxidant benefits throughout the day.
“These include shielding from pollution, environmental aggressors and sun damage, improving the skin’s appearance and long-term health.”
The PS… Skin + 1% Vitamin C Eye Cream will set you back £5.
Autumn is upon us, and it's time to make some additions to our cosy wardrobes.
Here, Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals her top 5 buys from Primark this Autumn.
The Edit Overcoat, £60
I know what you’re thinking, ‘£60 for Primark?’ Yes it’s a higher price tag than we’re used to from Primark but its worth every penny.
It’s from their Edit range which is more premium than the rest of their collection and it’s made to last.
It’s a mixed wool blend which is durable and warm, plus its a timeless straight silhouette which is slightly oversized and will last you not only this season but for many after.
Extra Large Croc Effect Shopper, £16
Big bags are back… In a big way, finally.
This tote screams luxury with its croc effect and burnt orange colour, plus its great for shoving in your laptop, lunch, spare shoes, purse – essentially everything you need for the day – all for £16.
Field jackets are on the backs of celebrities and catwalk models this season with designer brands Barbour, Burberry and Bottega all championing the utilitarian look.
They’re great for chucking over jeans or contrasting with a floral or floaty dress and are the perfect transitional jacket.
Square Neck Leopard Midi Dress, £18,
You may have seen, heard and read that leopard print isn’t going anywhere for autumn, so to encapsulate the trend this dress is a must.
Sleeves? Check. Midi length? Check. Ultra flattering square neck? Check. It’s got it all.
Pair with black knee high boots or your favourite trainers for the day and dress up with gold heels and accessories for the evening.
Barrel Denim Jeans, £16
Barrel, balloon, horseshoe – whatever you want to call them, they are the must have trouser shape of this season.
I’ve tried Primarks pair and they fit like a dream, are comfortable and flattering.
So if you think you have nothing that hits the trend mark, swapping your go-to denim for this shape will bring you bang up to date.
Primark bosses added: “Coming in a rounded pot with an easy-to-use screw-top lid, this silky cream has a 1% topical dosage of Vitamin C.
“It helps to brighten up your complexion and reduce hyperpigmentation.”
There’s also the £3 PS… Vitamin C Daily Brightening Moisturiser.
It has been formulated “to offer deep hydration with the help of smoothing and reparative Vitamin C and antioxidants”.
And to finish off your cold-season skincare routine, you can apply the £3 Vitamin C Brightening Face Mist.
