I recently had the privilege of attending the Elemis x Galgorm Collection launch at The Leinster Hotel in Dublin. There, I met Noella Gabriel, the co-founder of the luxury skin wellness brand, who is originally from Bandon in County Cork.
I have been using Elemis skincare products for a number of years now, and they remain among my favourites. Packed with natural ingredients, they consistently leave my skin looking radiant.
The Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is the ‘No. 1 best-selling cleanser’ for a reason. Made with nourishing plant oils, this balm effectively dissolves every trace of makeup with one small scoop. As someone who wears foundation daily, I rely on a two-step cleansing ritual, and this is the perfect starting point. It breaks down even the heaviest of foundations, leaving no residue behind. It also delivers a calming scent, courtesy of the oils it’s infused with. Within a minute of massaging it in, I can visibly see the makeup dissolving away, leaving only delicious-smelling, luminous skin in its wake.
The Pro-Collagen Marine Cream is another favourite essential of mine. Formulated with multiple anti-ageing ingredients, including Mimosa and Padina Pavonica, this moisturiser leaves skin looking plump and rejuvenated. After applying serum, I use this cream to lock everything in and keep my skin protected throughout the day. It has a rich texture that provides lasting hydration, ensuring my complexion looks bright even when bare. It also works wonderfully under makeup, absorbing completely in just a few minutes without any residue. And its intense floral fragrance makes the whole experience feel super-luxurious.
Having integrated both of these products into my daily routine, I can confidently say they have become indispensable for maintaining a consistently glowing complexion.
