Beauty News: Skincare products so fresh they should be used within 10 weeks of opening

Skincare products so fresh they should be used within 10 weeks of opening

Founded in 1996, Ringana is a pioneering Austrian skincare company creating products so fresh it's recommended they're used within 10 weeks of opening. As well as using fantastic vegan formulations, the products also feature some of 2023's most sought after active ingredients. I love the Tinted Moisturiser from the brand's FRESH range, containing squalane. This olive-oil based ingredient is becoming increasingly popular because it helps to reconstitute our hydrolipidic film and is easily absorbed without leaving an oily residue behind. It works to strengthen the skin's barrier and maintain hydration too. As a result, this gorgeous moisturiser creates a radiant, perfectly even complexion. Plus, it covers the skin in a delicate tint, thanks to mineral pigments that adapt beautifully to the skin tone to erase small defects, redness and pigmentation spots.
