Dr. Maryam Zamani counts Elle MacPherson and Arizona Muse as among her customer base, the Iranian-born Oculoplastic Surgeon is also the founder of MZ Skin - a clean, high performance scientific skincare range.
Here, she shares her guide to radiant party season skin, as well as what to do when your skin is suffering the morning after. Beauty aficionados take note.
Vitamin C rich products are available as serums, moisturisers and cleansers. Serums are water-based, lightweight and quickly absorbed into the skin. They are easy to add to your regime as they can be layered with other products on the top. Vitamin C can also be combined with other anti-ageing ingredients such as Vitamin E (UV damage fighting antioxidant), Hyaluronic Acid (boosts elasticity and hydration of the skin), or Ferulic Acid (combats free radicals in the skin).
The perfect party prep would be to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate – I cannot focus enough on the importance of hydration. For immediate topical hydration opt for Hyaluronic Acid rich, MZ Skin Lift & Lustre, that will immediately help restore moisture to your skin and MZ Skin Brighten & Perfect, my personal favourite, with 10% Vitamin C will help reveal a brighter, smoother, and luminous skin tone instantly.
I recommend using a mask to exfoliate the morning after. MZ Skin Radiance & Renewal contains lactic acid, azelaic acid, glucuronic acid and papaya enzyme. All these ingredients are chemical exfoliators which instantly brightens tired, dull skin. Containing a 10% concentrate fruit acid complex stimulates cell turnover, refines pores and helps to eliminate pigmentation to brighten and restore luminosity. It results in smooth, revived and glowing complexion.
