HOW TO IMPROVE SKIN TEXTURE

Smooth, hydrated skin is what we all strive for, but it’s not always easy to achieve. Regardless of your skin type, skin can be unpredictable. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to improve your textured skin. If you want to know how, read on to discover our tips.

EXFOLIATION

To improve visible texture, it’s important to exfoliate the surface of the skin and remove dead cells. You can do this daily and gently, by using an exfoliating serum like our Pure Shots Night Reboot Serum, which is formulated with 3.4% glycolic acid and enriched with Moonlight Cactus flower extract.

This bi-phase serum helps to both smooth and refine the skin, removing dead skin cells while hydrating at the same time. Apply once every night, being careful to avoid the sensitive areas around your eyes, lips, and nostrils. 

TARGET FINE LINES AND WRINKLES

Fine lines and wrinkles are natural signs of ageing, but if you want to improve your skin texture, you can target the visible appearance of them. That’s where our Pure Shots Lines Away Serum comes in.

Containing hyaluronic acid and Iris Root extract, this serum keeps skin moist, hydrated and comforted to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It’s suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, for use during the day, before you apply your moisturiser.

You may want to follow it with our Pure Shots Plumper Cream, which is formulated with orange blossom extract and ribose, to immediately plump the skin with moisture. Use both day and night to hydrate, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and keep your skin feeling smooth and supple.

PICK A BLURRING PRIMER

Blurring primers help to even out your skin tone and make it look smoother. Try our Touche Éclat Blur Primer, an illuminating light-infused primer that gives you the ideal canvas for your makeup, or helps you attain a radiant no-makeup look instead. It contains our optimal light diffusion technology in a gel format that’s easy to use and will boost your complexion and texture straight away.

To use a blurring primer, apply a pump to the back of the hand and apply it to the face either with your fingers or a foundation brush. Use gentle sweeping motions and go outward from the centre of your face.

FIND YOUR PERFECT FOUNDATION

The right foundation can help improve the appearance of your skin’s texture, and there are plenty of choices out there. Our Touche Éclat Le Teint Foundation comes in a range of shades and offers up to 24 hours of breathable coverage and hydration, as well as a weightless, non-sticky feel. It also includes SPF 22 for extra skin protection and gives a non-cakey finish to improve the appearance of your skin’s texture without drawing too much attention.

Pump two drops into the ‘Y’ of the Y-Brush, and dab onto the cheeks, forehead, and chin, blending using circular movements going outwards from the centre of the face. Use the side of the brush to smooth the foundation onto your nose and lower eyelids. Alternatively, you can apply with your fingertips.

Another option is our All Hours Foundation, a natural luminous matte foundation infused with hyaluronic acid, that lasts for up to 24 hours and provides a flawless finish that reduces the appearance of pores and makes your skin look smoother. To use, just apply a thin layer with your fingertips.

CHOOSE HYDRATING MAKEUP INGREDIENTS

To care for your skin and improve the appearance of your skin texture, you’ll probably want to look for hydrating makeup ingredients. That’s where our Nu range of makeup-skincare hybrid products comes in.

Our Nu Glow In Balm is an oil-in-water priming moisturiser that provides up to 24 hours of hydration and an instant glow effect. It’s enriched with shea butter, plant-based glycerin and geranium rosat. Don’t forget about our Nu Bare Look Skin Tint, either, which is enriched with hyaluronic acid and gives your skin a fresh and dewy complexion. Prepare your skin with our balm, before applying our tint either with your fingers or a brush – it’s up to you.

You can mix the tint with our Nu Blotting Lotion or apply the lotion on its own with your fingers or a brush. It offers up to eight hours of hydration and gives you mattified skin throughout the day. It’s suitable for sensitive skin and is enriched with both salicylic acid and limonette extract.

Improving your textured skin can be as easy as that – just take a look at our products for more information, and you can be on your way to get the skin you’re after.
