Contrary to what we were taught at school, the first signs of autumn are not the sight of falling amber leaves, but the feel of dry, cracking skin as we delicately put fingertips to face. Whether you prefer a slather of hydrating cream, a dab of lightweight emulsion or a glistening layer of regenerating night serum, keeping your skin plump is key. We spill the beans on the moisturising skincare products hitting the shelves this season.

First up, is Japanese beauty and skincare brand Tatcha’s Indigo Overnight Repair, a soothing moisturising treatment that visibly calms any irritation or inflammation and delivers active natural ingredients to strengthen the skin’s defensive layers. You can rest assured that the product will work to counter the effects of everyday exposure to harsh weather and pollution, so you wake up refreshed with luminous, healthier-looking skin.

If you’re looking for a lighter application, Ecological Compound emulsion from French skincare and cosmetics brand Sisley Paris is just the ticket. Packed with carefully balanced ingredients such as ginseng, rosemary, horsetail, hops and centella asiatica, this water-based serum moisturises, nourishes, revitalises and boosts the epidermis’ protection while toning facial contours. It can be used alone or before your usual moisturising cream for additional hydration.

Not neglecting the eyes, we’ve included a quick-effect eye cream, Génifique Yeux by luxury skincare line Lancôme, that aims to visibly strengthen the eye area and provide a more radiant, youthful look in just seven days. Enriched with a complex of seven pre- and probiotic fractions, it’s light to the touch but packed with strong, defensive moisturising elements.

Alternatively, marine-inspired La Mer continues to perfect the art of fermenting sea kelp into miraculous skincare products. Its latest all-nourishing, feather-light emulsion is packed with micronutrients. The Hydrating Infused Emulsion comprises nutrient-rich kelp and soy, as well as lime tea concentrate, to counter the effects of free radicals, and antioxidants to calm redness and inflammation – effortlessly revitalising the skin with the brand’s trademarked cell-renewing Miracle Broth.

Last but not least, internationally renowned cosmetics company Estée Lauder’s new Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix is designed to offer a more supple, youthful contour around the eyes. Infused with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants, the formula promotes collagen production to target the reduction of expression lines and dark circles, while fortifying the delicate under-eye area for a healthier glow.

Moisture Matters: Five moisturising skincare products to nourish your skin this autumn

The onset of cooler, harsher weather has fortuitously coincided with an arsenal of newly-launched skincare products that promise to not only protect our delicate skin from winter woes, but to turn our natural glow up a notch or two.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-49997" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/700x466-BeautyA_opt.jpg" alt="skincare" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/700x466-BeautyA_opt.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/700x466-BeautyA_opt-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/700x466-BeautyA_opt-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/700x466-BeautyA_opt-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/700x466-BeautyA_opt-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/700x466-BeautyA_opt-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/700x466-BeautyA_opt-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Notable among these face-focused fares is Parisian beauty label <a href="https://www.darphin.com.hk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Darphin</a>’s 8-Flower Golden Nectar Essential Oil Elixir, which apparently combines eight potent flowers – including soothing lavender and purifying ylang ylang – with 24K gold, endowing the skin with a radiant sheen. Also using gold, this time in the massager, is Korean skincare maison <a href="https://www.sulwhasoo.com/hk/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sulwhasoo</a>’s Timetreasure Invigorating Eye Serum, with its golden <a href="//www.gafencushop.com/eye-creams-combat-eye-bags/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eye-care</a> massager said to help flush out extra fluids from under the eye region, thereby aiding in depuffing.
Meanwhile, premium Japanese beauty brand <a href="https://www.albion-cosmetics.com/hk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Albion</a> has added a new product – Albion Excia Embeage Diofons serum – that looks to utilise the goodness of not one, but 12 mineral elements (including gold leaves) to confer a natural shine on your face, while reviving the dermis from within. Taking a similar approach is French luxury brand <a href="https://www.guerlain.com/hk/zh-hk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guerlain</a>, with its new Orchidée Impériale Black Eye And Lip Contour Cream featuring microbeads of silver, ivory and pink pearls set with ultra-fine 24K gold particles, all of which apparently combine to diffuse a subtly reflective light, proffering a bright glow to our complexion.
Finally, celebrated skincare specialist <a href="https://global.tataharperskincare.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tata Harper</a> has just launched the Elixir Vitae serum and Elixir Vitae Eye Serum, two products that purportedly harness the goodness of all-natural ingredients to bestow a luscious blush that can withstand the harshest winter winds.

Goldilocks: Give your visage a golden radiance

Growing old is only natural. Unlike some other beauty brands which promise to reverse the process of ageing, Milan-based beauty brand Frame Cosmetics believes in &#8216;restoring&#8217;. Embracing the Mediterranean way of life which acknowledges that ageing is a natural part of life, Frame&#8217;s products are all nutrient-rich, cutting-edge, and pure in both ingredients and intentions.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47392" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2-min-5.jpg" alt="Frame Cosmetics" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2-min-5.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2-min-5-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2-min-5-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2-min-5-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2-min-5-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2-min-5-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2-min-5-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Eager to test both for ourselves, we recently tried out the R5 – Extreme Restorative Anti-ageing Satin Serum + D2 Thermal Vibration Face Massaging Device set from Frame Cosmetics (priced at HK$4,680).&nbsp;
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47393" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/466x700-1.jpg" alt="Frame Cosmetics" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/466x700-1.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/466x700-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/466x700-1-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/466x700-1-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/466x700-1-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" />
A comprehensive at-home beauty treatment, it comprises two parts – R5 and D2. While R5 is the anti-ageing serum containing hyaluronic acid and plant oils, D2 is the thermal vibration face massaging device with which to evenly spread and massage the serum onto your face and neck regions. The heat from the device opens up the pores while its vibrating motions allow the serum to be absorbed deep into the dermis. Just put the serum on the smooth surface of the device and gently rub on your skin for two minutes for maximum absorption of the serum. The &#8216;cool&#8217; mode of the device then gets activated with the press of a button which we then massaged on our face and neck in circular motion again to lock the serum into the pores. One of the features that we liked best was how the capsule containing the R5 serum squirted the exact amount of serum needed for one-time use on the skin.&nbsp;
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47394" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1-4.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1-4.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1-4-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1-4-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1-4-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1-4-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1-4-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1-4-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
The result? Softer, smoother, hydrated skin that lasted for more than 12 hours. On the flip side though, the two-part device + serum combo may leave ones who are less tech-savvy a bit confused with its very long &#8216;How to Use&#8217; column, but it&#8217;s well worth decoding for the sake of plumper, softer and younger skin, isn&#8217;t it?
