Why do I have tired skin?

You’re working hard, having the odd late night, trying to spend enough time with friends and family, trying to eat well and you wake up, and your skin is looking dull, patchy, lifeless and tired.

It happens to the best of us… because life can be hard work. But that doesn’t mean that tired skin is here to stay.

Here Beautiful Skin looks at the main symptoms of tired skin:

YOUR COMPLEXION’S AS DULL AS DITCHWATER

Symptoms: You’ve had a tough week, spent a night on the tiles or it’s a mid-season time of year. Pasty, sallow, dull skin that makes you feel like pants and has added years to your face.

ZAP YOUR DARK CIRCLES

Symptoms: They went on holiday for the summer but now your dark circles are back with a vengeance. Accompanied, of course, by bags as big as a bus. Great look eh? Bluey-violet, puffy, panda eyes… This happens because the skin around our eyes is extremely thin and easily becomes congested.

BLOTCHY SKIN AND BLEMISHES

Symptoms: Pimples (particularly on your chin and around your nose), or blotchy patches that line your facial contour

Babor Cleansing CP Phytoactive Reactivating is a revitalising herbal extract for tired skin in need of regeneration. Used in combination with HY-ÖL, it removes oil- and water-soluble dirt, and conditions the skin, even as you cleanse. It provides gentle, deep-pore cleansing. Selected herbal essences thoroughly moisturize and vitalize the skin during cleansing.

A detoxifying extract of agrimonia eupatoria, which is exclusive to Babor, moisturises the skin, even as you cleanse. Selected herbal essences of sweet almond, jujube (Chinese date) and ginkgo biloba thoroughly moisturise and vitalise the skin. Apple water enriches the outer layer of the skin with moisture and loosens the compact network of the dead skin cells on the outer layer of the skin.

How to use:
Gently massage 3 pumps of HY-ÖL® over the face, neck and décolleté. Immediately apply 2 pumps of Phytoactive Reactivating on top and blend together. Add water, massage until a milky emulsion forms then rinse off with plenty of water.
