We all know water is an optimal hydrator for the body and skin. Not enough of it and you can start to feel and see the side effects. From Lab Series Skincare for Men, comes an energising hit for your skin with Solid Water Essence. The kind people from Lab Series sent me this new and unique gel that turns to liquid that’s infused with Ginseng and Caffeine, proven to help refresh the skin, fight dehydration and fatigued-looking skin at a cellular level.
As Lab Series have put it, ‘it’s a jumpstart’ for your skin. Micro water droplets that are infused with Bamboo extract help for rapid absorption into the skin, while the antioxidants fight away free radicals and prevent the signs of ageing.
For anyone that may not know what the term free radicals means in regards to skincare, “free radicals (found everywhere around us) are unstable, reactive molecules separated from their natural pair, desperately seeking a replacement with which they can connect. When they come into contact with unprotected skin, faces become sitting ducks for the damage they cause. They attack our healthy skin cells, taking the oxygen from them like scavenger cells. When oxygen is taken from skin cells, the skin will age much faster – which is why it’s so important to protect against them.”
So put simply, if a product has antioxidants and helps fight free radical, this helps against the damaging of the skin through the daily grind, important for the prevention of ageing skin.
30 – 40% of the skin’s power is used to pump hydration to the skin. Reading up on this product, The Instant Consumer Testing on 105 men said “94% reported an instant, refreshing burst of hydration*” while “86% reported skin instantly looked refreshed and energised.”
After cleansing, use Lab Series Solid Water Essence morning and or evening by pumping out about a 20-cent coin size into the palm of your hand and apply to face and neck. The blue gel smooths into the skin which you can then follow on with your traditional moisturiser. It’s a new way to boost the energy of the skin and add that extra level of hydration particularly through the peak seasonal period of summer and winter where skin can reduce in moisture levels. I’ve been using it for the past two weeks and really like the freshness it has added to my skin. I use it under my MAX LS Lab Series moisturiser morning and most nights and it has helped with the subtle dryness around my cheekbone and temple areas. I’m looking forward to seeing how my skin feels and looks after the full bottle, which no doubt will be great.
You can pick up a bottle of Solid Water Essence online at labseries.com, in-store at David Jones or Myer for AUD $67.
Stay dapper gents.
