JULIE ADELPHI explores the best products in Derma-e her favourite skincare range …
A modern girl’s life, or for that matter a metrosexual male’s life, is hard on the skin. First of all there’s the matter of insufficient beauty sleep, struggling out of bed to commute through acidic urban air that attacks the face from the moment you walk out the front door ’til your arrival at work – and then job-stress leads to a downcast disposition, with all its face-muscle sagging properties … it’s not surprising I feel I age two days for every single workday!
My global search for the fountain of youth, which has taken me through the day spas of Europe and Asia, brought me ultimately back home to Sydney, where at the very least I stumbled upon my skin-saviour-suppliers Derma-e who help to keep my chin up as I age gracefully rather than wearily.
Derma-e uses effective concentrations of anti-oxidant-rich formulas that are proven to deliver results. I love them as they are clearly designed from a holistic wellness perspective.
My personal recommendations are:
Hyaluronic Acid Skincare Products
Hyaluronic Acid formulas are the rehydrating, age-defying answer to your skin care needs. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, is one of the most effective moisturising agents available, holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Its unmatched hydrating properties plump and smooth, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Check it out: hyaluronic acid anti-ageing skincare.

Peptides Plus Wrinkle-Reverse Creams
The peptides used in these products include Argireline – a patented hexapeptide that relaxes facial muscles to help smooth out wrinkles; and Matrixyl – which stimulates collagen syntheses, helping to repair and renew skin and reduce wrinkles. Click on: anti-wrinkles skincare.
Vitamin A Skincare
Vitamin A, also known as Retinol or Retinyl Palmitate, is commonly referred to as the “skin vitamin”.

This process of cell renewal and exfoliation helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin irregularities. Click on: anti-oxidant skincare.
