Beauty Detox | The Principle Brands

We’ve compiled some beauty swaps to rid you of the clutter and get back to the best skincare routine of your life.

SWAP 1: YOUR MASCARA COLLECTION FOR AN ALL-IN-ONE TUBING FORMULA

Whether you’re looking for lengthening, thickening, non-smudging or water-resistant, VMV Hypoallergenics Ooh La Lash mascara is the perfect replacement for your overstocked collection. This beauty essential features a unique compound that swells up and surrounds each lash strand in a tube (a physical sleeve of its very own) adding definition, volume, beautiful colour and is totally smudge-proof. VMV Hypoallergenics is committed to hypoallergenicity, so even the most sensitive eyes won’t react to this formula.

VMV Hypoallergenics, Ooh La Lash Mascara,$32.00

SWAP 2: YOUR VARYING STRENGTHS OF ACID TONERS FOR THE “HOLY GRAIL” OF TOPICAL EXFOLIATORS

The use of AHAs has revolutionized the way we care for our skin, but layering too many single acids can be a costly mistake that causes major sensitivity. Instead, swap your collection for Biologique Recherche’s universally loved Lotion P50T or Lotion P50 PIGM, which use an optimized blend of AHAs, Salicylic Acid and Polyhydroxy Acids combined with antioxidants to exfoliate, hydrate, rebalance all in one perfect formulation.

Biologique Recherche, Lotion P50T, from $30.00

SWAP 3: MAKEUP PRIMERS FOR FINISHING SERUMS WITH SERIOUS SKIN CARE BENEFITS

Makeup primers were one of the best beauty innovations back in the late 1990s, but now we have multi-tasking serums that treat our skin and also leave a perfect finish for makeup application. Swap your silicone-heavy and pore-blocking primers for a finishing serum that improves your skin’s texture, tone and elasticity.

Biologique Recherche Fluide VIP O2 or Complexe Royale, from $88.00

SWAP 4: ESSENTIAL OIL SERUMS FOR HYDRATING CREAMS THAT ALSO TARGET YOUR SPECIFIC SKIN CONCERN

It seems like every year a new blend of essential or single miracle oils are launched as the way to get perfectly moisturized glowing skin. While many of these ingredients do have benefits, they need to be combined with a complex of other actives to meet your skin’s uniquely personal needs. Many essential oils are known to cause sensitivity and allergy, which is why it’s imperative to use products that have undergone patch testing to determine hypoallergenicity.

Swap them for Biologique Recherche’s Creme Dermopurfiante to hydrate and control acneic skin, Masque Creme Biofixine to hydrate and reduce the signs of ageing, or Creme PIGM to hydrate skin with pigmentation concerns.

Creme Dermopurfiante: $94.00 - 1.7oz Masque Creme: Biofixine $279.00 - 1.7 oz Creme PIGM 400: $198.00 - 1.7oz

SWAP 5: BODY AND FACE HYDRATORS WITH A HINT OF TAN, FOR SELF-TAN DROPS YOU CAN ADD TO YOUR EXISTING SKIN CARE

You’ve already found the perfect hydrator or serum for your “Skin Instant”, but want a little extra colour or to enhance your glow. Opt for the James Read H2O Tanning Drops which can be mixed with any favourite moisturizer or serum for a gradual tan that you control.

James Read Tan H2O Tanning Drop 30ml, $44.00
