07 Splurge-worthy Skincare Beauty Products available in Colombo for the Bride-To-Be

Some of you requested a list of premium skincare recommendations that you could invest in before your big day. As always, we are always happy to oblige. Here’s our top seven picks:

1) Face wash - Lancôme Comforting Cleanser (Exclusivelines.lk) Rs.5950

With honey and sweet almond extracts, this cleanser is gentle enough to use on sensitive skin yet effective at removing all traces of makeup. The creamy emollient- rich formula won’t strip the natural oils from your skin.

2) Toner - Vitamin E Hydrating toner (The body shop) Rs. 3200

The Body Shop Vitamin E Toner contain no alcohol. This is a huge plus because alcohol containing toners increase the chances of hyperpigmentation as a result of the alcohol irritating your skin.

In addition to age-defying power of Kangaroo Flower extract, the cream contains the Clarins' Anti-Pollution Complex.

4) Sunscreen - Sothys W + Ultra Protective Sunshield SPF 50 Rs.4758

One of the benefits of living in a tropical paradise like Sri Lanka is the ability to enjoy sunshine for most of the year. While we all love our beach days, it is important to pay attention to sun protection. A sunscreen like the Sothys W + Ultra Protective Sunshield SPF 50 is necessary to protects your skin from UVA and UVB rays that cause skin cancers and premature ageing.

Serums are the most important step in your beauty regimen, because they are formulated with the highest concentration of active ingredients like antioxidants.

Apply 3-4 drops over night before your moisturizer.

7) Night cream - Clarins Extra Firming Night Cream (Exclusivelines.lk) Rs.19,500
