Formulated with prebiotics, fermented plant actives and yep, you guessed it, vitamin-packed superfoods, products in the Superfood Skincare Collection aim to deliver just what your skin needs for it to look and feel healthy. But what is it about superfood ingredients that are just so great for our skin? It all comes down to those prebiotics.

Found in a number of superfoods, prebiotics help to feed good bacteria. While we already know that looking after our guts’ microbiome and the balance of good and bad bacteria is key for our general health, it turns out our skin can benefit too. Just like in the gut, prebiotics help feed the good bacteria on the skin’s surface, in turn helping to combat dryness, redness and irritation, subsequently boosting that healthy looking glow.

And Elemis is switched onto this. Formulated with a wide variety of prebiotic superfoods, such as kale, chia seeds and flaxseed, plus a natural prebiotic derived from sugar, its Superfoods Collection champions the all-important role of prebiotics in maintaining our skin’s health. On top of this, each superfood also has its own skin-boosting benefits thanks to high vitamin and nutrient content.

With radiance-boosting exfoliants sometimes causing irritation, this is where the important prebiotic comes into play. Working to support the skin’s natural barrier, the prebiotic combined with the nourishing, soothing and antioxidant qualities of prickly pear cactus mean you can glow the day away knowing you’re protected against the effects of pollution and irritation. In fact, it’s so gentle that it can be swiped over cleansed skin twice a day – just be sure to apply your SPF as the last step in your morning routine as AHAs can increase sun sensitivity!

But what about the eye area?

While general skin radiance is key to that all-important healthy glow, it’s true that eyes are the windows to the soul. If you’re feeling drab and rundown, you better believe your eyes will give the game away. Despite the radiance-boosting wonders of fruit vinegars for the skin, the eye area is particularly delicate and requires a slightly different superfood approach. Elemis Superfood Matcha Eye Dew is a fruit-infused refreshing gel that hydrates, quenches and brightens tired eyes.

Formulated with kiwi fruit rich in brightening antioxidant vitamin C, as well as honey melon to deliver juicy hydration, dotting it around the eye area whenever you need a pick-me-up makes for the ultimate refresh. And it doesn’t stop there. Also containing vitamin, mineral and antioxidant-rich matcha tea, theobroma cocoa seed extract (which contains hydrating, soothing and plumping peptides, saccharides and polyphenols) and, of course, the crucial prebiotic, this lightweight gel reduces puffiness and boosts brightness instantly.
