This all in one lightweight cream coverage includes a sturdy broad-spectrum SPF 50 and a nifty brightening balm in the cap to add flattering highlights around your face. It's a great and compact workhorse to achieve a glowy day look, without the strong fragrance from the previous Cyber White line. Available at Estée Lauder counters.

 

 

 

 

Easy to use face masks containing pure black pearl as an active ingredient to restore skin radiance and reduce skin discoloration. Silk proteins and camu camu extract condition and hydrate. Available at Sasa stores.

 

 

 

 

 

This essence, which goes on first thing after cleansing, helps combat redness and reduce unevenness with PhE-resorcinol, a L'Oréal-patented brightening agent as LHA exfoliates and adenosine boosts the healing process. Available at Vichy counters. 

 

 

 

 

The best way to avoid dark spots and signs of aging is to prevent them in the first place with sunscreen. This lightweight tinted SPF 40 gives off a natural, translucent look and as always with Bare Escentuals, won't cause breakouts. Available at Bare Escentuals counters.

 

 

 

 

Applied under moisturiser, this serum uses a combination of natural daisy and pea extracts plus vitamin C to fight discolouration from sun damage and age spots. Available at Harvey Nichols and 10/10 Space.

 

 

 

 

Most people know that lack of sleep and dehydration can contribute to dark circles under the eyes, but UV damage and aging are also culprits. This concealer brightens the area and protects against future darkening with SPF 30 sun screen. Available at Kiehl's stores.
