Besides my regular QMS Medicosmetics Routine, here are a few products I’m using at the moment and loving!
I love how light the REN Photoactive Sun Veil 15 is, plus it smooths out the texture of my skin adding a glow and doesn’t leave that horrible layer of thick white cream that takes hours to rub in.
1. It provides broad spectrum UVA & UVB protection
2. Fights free radicals
3. Actually harnesses beneficial properties of sunlight to keep skin looking younger for longer: Fluosphores from the anti-ageing active, Noni Extract absorb harmful UV rays, transform them into visible red light which has been proven to be beneficial to the skin (similar to laser treatments in clinics)
4. Micro-mineral sunscreen so does not contain any harmful chemical sunscreens.

Instant Eyelift by Skin Doctors is a highly effect eye serum that temporarily yet dramatically improves puffiness and age lines, like a face lift in a bottle. Lasting up to 8 hours, apply around the eye area to cleansed skin and keep your face still for 2-3 minutes. Perfect for those special occasions when you want to look and feel just fab!
Says Skin Doctors on the ingredients:
“• Biocare SA
Biocare SA is composed of Albumin and Hyaluronic Acid, and forms a water retaining, highly elastic film that keeps the skin under the eye well hydrated, plump, smooth and tightened. The Albumin component lifts furrows up to the level of surrounding skin by means of contraction. It also forms a film which becomes translucent, diffusing and reflecting light, allowing the wrinkles in the skin under the eye to appear less pronounced.
• Skin Tightener ST
This ingredient combines hydrophilic polysaccharides derived from the algae Macrocystis pyrifera with wheat protein. Skin Tightener ST was seen to tighten and smooth the skin dramatically after just 5 minutes.
• Sodium Silicate
When applied to the skin, this ingredient dries immediately and contributes to the formation of the film which provides for instant lifting effect.”
Retails at R435 for 10ml. Call head office on 011 486 4904 for stockists in your area.
The Perricone MD No Concealer has excellent coverage. At first I found it slightly chalky on my skin, but mixed in with my eye cream or moisturiser it’s fabulous!

Loving the Filorga BB-PERFECT Anti Ageing Beauty Balm, a fabulous primer to achieve that flawless look. It moisturises, corrects wrinkles, combats redness, reduces the appearance of tiredness and creates a radiant glow.
