Ask anyone with an amazing glow who is responsible and they'll all reply the same: ELEMIS.
There isn’t a day that goes by where I’m not asking a stylish friend who they’re wearing or what they’re using on their skin. WhatsApp groups, colleagues and the online community are a constant source of inspiration for seeking out the latest it item or the right beauty product to suit your needs - and they’re particularly reliable when it comes to anything luxury. I can safely say that fashion girls take just as much pride in their beauty cabinet as their wardrobe, and as such have become a guiding light in showcasing the skincare brands that are really worth our time and money. The allure of a £250 pot of moisturiser can cloud our thinking into assuming the eye-watering price-tag equates to results. However, there is one luxury skincare brand in particular where all my most fashionable friends are wholeheartedly in agreement - and that’s ELEMIS.
The brand has just released its new Pro-Collagen Summer Bloom Cleansing Balm
Whether you’ve used one of their cult products or not, ELEMIS is one of those brands who never seem to drop off the radar, with a reputation that has never faltered even when newer brands make a vie for the spotlight. Known for spa-like skincare that heroes natural ingredients alongside industry-leading science, you simply don’t become the number 1 British anti-ageing skincare brand without good reason. They’re also a big hit with the fashion crowd thanks to their ongoing collaborations with some of the industry’s buzziest names from RIXO to Hayley Menzies. But more than the flashy accolades, I’ve seen the results for myself on my glowiest of friends. Too many times to mention have I enquired about their routine, only to been pointed in the direction of ELEMIS – particularly their Pro-Collagen range.
Loved by flawless celebrities such as Kate Hudson and Poppy Delevigne , the ELEMIS Pro-Collagen collection works to plump, smooth and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles using powerful marine extracts and natural ingredients. The star of the show? The best-selling Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, which just so happens to have been given a floral refresh for summer.
ELEMIS has teamed up with RIXO for a limited edition wash bag
From conversations with friends, this nifty cleansing balm is the first step in their double cleanse (and now mine) thanks to its unique 3 in 1 formula. It initially nourishes as a balm, before removing make-up as it melts into a cleansing oil and finally, with the addition of water, turns into a hydrating cleansing milk. It leaves skin feeling silky, not stripped, and plays up to its spa-like qualities with a heady scent that makes taking off the day feel like a ritual rather than a chore. The new limited Summer Bloom edition is enriched with notes of Mimosa, Meadowsweet, Sweet Orange and Juniper – all inspired with the fields of the English countryside - for a truly calming and sensory experience. But it’s not just instant gratification, this wonder balm leaves skin feeling softer, smoother and more radiant over time.
But ELEMIS is no one-product wonder. Scroll on to to discover the brand’s best-loved products below that all come recommended by me or to me by some of my most in-the-know friends. Trust me, they're worth the splurge.
ELEMIS
Pro-Collagen Summer Bloom Cleansing Balm
£46.00
When it comes to spa-level cleansers that leave skin nourished and glowing, this cult product is unrivalled. Sensitive skin types may prefer the Naked formulation, while everyone else will absolutely lap up this limited edition bouquet scent which some customers have declared "summer in a pot".
ELEMIS
Pro-Collagen Naked Cleansing Balm
£46.00
Those prone to breakouts may find that they need to steer clear of decadent textures and formulas. Well, no more! This Naked version of the cult balm boasts the same 3-in-1 balm, oil and milk texture as the original, Rose and Summer Bloom formulas, but unscented for those with sensitive skin.
ELEMIS
Pro-Collagen Marine Moisture Essence
£60.00
Dry skin in need of a good drink? This clever mist is clinically proven to double the skin’s moisture content whilst smoothing the look of fine lines for a youthful glow. Infused with a blend of hydrating Padina Pavonica algae and Sea spring water (hence the marine name), rich in Magnesium, Copper and Zinc, expect hydration that lasts for up to 24 hours.
ELEMIS
Pro-Collagen Energising Marine Cleanser
£42.00
The ultimate product for a second cleanse in the morning, this gel cleanser contains a trio of acids alongside the marine line's signature algae to help reduce excess oil and remove impurities from the skin.
ELEMIS
Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30
£89.00
Rejoice! Elemis's cult anti-ageing moisturiser is also available with a decent whack of SPF. So you can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with marine and plant ingredients, while keeping yourself safe from further damage.
ELEMIS
Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads
£40.00
If you struggle with oily skin, these exfoliating pads will do the trick. Simply swipe over the face twice a day and let the exfoliating lactic acid and radiance-boosting probiotic ferment complex do their work to reduce pores, congestion and shine. I don't want to get you excited but 100% of the clinical trials agreed this gave them smooth and glowing “glass skin” so they're well worth the spend if you have a big event coming up.
ELEMIS
Superfood Fruit Vinegar Liquid Glow
£28.00
Infused with glow-getting AHAs derived from Apple Vinegar, Apricot and Peach, this superfood formula gently sloughs skin to reveal a radiant, smoother-looking complexion with improved clarity and texture over time. This one is my summer saviour, and a necessary step in my routine when using the Cleansing Balm.
ELEMIS
Superfood Facial Oil
£46.00
Despite my combination skin type, my skin loves an oil and this one - highly formulated with a blend of 9 superfood oils including Broccoli, Rosehip and Flaxseed - is like taking a multivitamin. It's totally non greasy, so makes a great step before a moisturiser for added radiance.
