Augustinus Bader Holiday Gifting
There are four gift sets available at Augustinus Bader and if your budget will allow, you really can’t go wrong with any of them. The brand has a celebrity clientele that includes Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston and is known for its trademarked complex TFC8 which is at the heart of the product line-up and was created to encourage cellular renewal.
The Winter Radiance System is the seasonal reset that our skin has been looking for. It contains the award-winning The Rich Cream, a cult formula that plumps and conditions skin as well as The Cream Cleansing Gel to remove dullness-causing impurities. There are also The Eye Patches to counteract dark circles, earned from wrapping presents into the early hours. The trio will work in tandem to hydrate, smooth and give skin a radiant glow.
The holiday sets - like the Supreme Collection (£1,280) pictured - are packed up in Bader-blue gift boxes.
