best face forward

Lack of sleep and stress are known to trigger harmful free radicals, which oxidise the skin cells and create a dull complexion – and if there’s one thing that can cause a lack of sleep and stress, it’s the runup to a wedding! Enter the super serums from cult French skincare brand Typology. Suitable for all skin types, the Radiance Serum has a high concentration of vitamin C to help revive the complexion, reduce pigmentation and reinforce elasticity, while the Unifying Serum is a hero product for brides who suffer from blemish-prone skin. Packed with niacinamide, it is designed to reduce the redness caused by imperfections to promote a more even complexion and refine the skin texture. Containing only vital ingredients and packed in minimalist and eco-friendly style, this stripped-back skincare brand is a must for your pre-wedding skincare routine. uk.typology.com
