I'm really, really glad that city-focused skincare has finally made its way to the high street! The big, luxury brands have been talking about anti-pollution products and environmental stresses on the skin for a long time. However, for a while if you wanted to buy into the concept, you really had to spend a fortune, so for NIVEA to bring it to a smaller budget is amazing news.
Most people know that the sun is really bad for our skin, but most people don't understand the threat of pollution. When pollution interacts with our skin, it depletes vitamin levels which are essential for good collagen production. The fumes in the air can also dehydrate the skin, leaving it feeling dry and tight. The new NIVEA Urban Skin Collection is all about matching skincare to the face-faced social lives that many of us now lead. Long working hours, drinking, commuting and many other things really take a toll on our skin. However, NIVEA want us to know that you don't have to slow down life to have beautiful, radiant skin. The new range has a beautiful trio of products, which eat play their part in giving us skin that wows.
NIVEA Daily Essentials Urban Skin 1 Minute Detox Masks*
The first part of new collection is a range of one-minute detox masks, which each offer 'quick fix miracles'. There are three different ones to choose from, which all play their part in renewing the skin, rebalancing the complexion and giving the skin a splash of energy. The ingredients include some amazing potent clays and magnolia extract, which all work to draw out impurities (including dirt, oil and pollution). The three masks you can choose from our 'Purify', 'Moisturise' and 'Pore Renew' - they each retail for £6.99 each.
NIVEA Daily Essentials Skin Defence Day Cream SPF 20*
You can't deny the benefit of an amazing day cream, so there is no surprise it's one of the core elements of the new range! The Daily Essentials Skin Defence Day Cream is a moisturiser which really aims to pack as much moisturiser into the skin, whilst working to battle against free radical damage. It is even packed with SPF 20, to give the skin a bit of protection whilst you're running to your next meeting. It retails for £7.99.
NIVEA Daily Essentials Urban Skin Detox Night Cream*
To complete the set, we have the NIVEA Daily Essentials Urban Skin Detox Night Cream. As you can imagine, this is a bit of a thicker cream, that you use overnight. The cream gets to work regenerating the skin overnight, by stimulating the upper skin layer cells. The active ingredients help to reduce the accumulation of toxins in cells. Reducing signs of fatigue, and leaving the skin visibly smoother and supple. The Daily Essentials Urban Skin Detox Night Cream also retails for £7.99.
The new NIVEA Daily Essentials Urban Skin Range is available in the UK now from Superdrug, Boots and all leading retailers.
