Feed your skin: a tonic for the face

You know when your face feels like it needs, erm… food? When it’s all dried out, perhaps a bit exhausted from work and screen time? If that resonates with you, I think I have found something pretty special to relieve it.

It is ‘food’ for the skin, and it’s made from ‘super greens’. Not only is it so visually green that it feels exciting to spread across your face, and boasts of being made up of ‘chlorophyll, kale and maca root extract’, but it is 100% naturally derived and comes in a lovely glass bottle that makes you feel a bit like a clever doctor.

I was wondering if it was just me who fell for this Super Greens Nutrient Boost Serum, as I have been massaging it into my face for quite some time now, but I tested it out on a mate on a recent trip to Edinburgh. She mentioned that her skin drinks up moisture and that it needs quite oily products naturally. ‘Try this green stuff,’ I said. After one application, she was equally hooked.

If you feel like your face could do with a square meal, then this is the one to try. £42, tropicskincare.com
