Nip+Fab were the first brand to bring glycolic acid to the high street, why should we be using glycolic acid?
Glycolic acid is an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) known for its exfoliating properties. Exfoliation helps to reveal fresh skin, helps to reduce the appearance of blemishes and clears pores for a smooth, radiant complexion. Our Glycolic Fix range is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin.
What other game changing ingredients and innovations should we keep an eye out for?
Salicylic acid, a BHA (beta hydroxy acid) is THE ingredient for oily skin and blemishes, and our Dragon’s Blood Fix range – which contains a type of tree sap from the Croton Lechleri tree – is the one for dry, dehydrated or sensitive skin.
If we were stranded on a desert island, what three Nip+Fab products do we absolutely need and why?
A basic skincare routine only needs three steps: cleanser, treatment, moisturiser. We’d suggest our Vitamin C Fix Cleanser for the glow, the Glycolic Fix Scrub to help fight blemishes and smoothen textured skin and finally the Nourishing SPF 30 Moisturiser for hydration and protection.
We love to get insider knowledge from the experts, so go on, spill… What does your skincare routine look like?
Like our skin, our skincare routine changes constantly, depending on the day/week or month. However, one thing stays the same: HYDRATION! It’s the key to good skin, hence the Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 Concentrate and Hybrid Gel Cream are always part of our routines.
What’s the one skincare product you couldn’t live without?
Glycolic Fix Scrub.
You create targeted skincare ranges for different skin types. What 3 products would you recommend for dry skin?
