Dual-purpose skin care giving you more for your money

We love amazing skin-care products can serve more than one purpose. Don’t you?

African Extracts Rooibos is local, developed specially for skins like ours and our climate and lifestyles.  And we know how tough times are – so being affordable and versatile is important too.

Here are some stunning summer products that do double or even triple duty to offer unbeatable value for money:

Anti-ageing skin care

Advantage is powered by plant actives to help dry, stressed and ageing skin and counter the effects of environmental stress. Look out for new Hydrofirm-C+ anti-wrinkle formula.

Advantage Hydrofirm-C+ Serum

Uses: Firming, anti-wrinkle day cream and under-eye treatment for puffiness and dark circles

This new silky serum is selling up a storm. With olive plant-cell technology to re-energise cell renewal, ceramides and hyaluronic acid to boost moisture, it also has active plant complexes that de-puff and reduce dark circles under eyes as it smooths fine lines.

It’s the perfect solution for skin that’s showing the effects of time and stressful living. (R280)

Advantage Exfoliating Mask

Smoother, softer, younger-looking! This two-in-one clay-based mask has Jojoba eco-beads to strip away dead skin cells and then melt to release precious nourishing oil, and a vitamin cocktail of A, B5 and E to revitalise your skin. Use as a moisture-boosting mask (it has hyaluronic acid!) and a scrub once or twice a week. (R13,99)

Brighter, more even toned skin

Radiance is the affordable luxury range with active plant extracts, like Rooibos and Rosewater, to pamper your skin and Vitamin C to even and brighten skin tone.

Radiance Moisturising Illuminator SPF20

Uses: moisturiser and primer

Go for a no-makeup natural look with this skin-perfecting moisturiser. It’s clear, so it suits all skin tones, and contains light deflectors that scatter light from your skin to create the illusion of a more even surface. With Rosewater to calm and Spilanthes Acmella, a natural Botox alternative that smooths and relaxes your skin. With SPF20 for day-long protection against UV, this is flow in a tube.

As the sun goes down, amp up your look for partying. Illuminator is the perfect primer controlling shine, so your makeup has as much staying power as you do. (R219,99)

Radiance Botanical Toner

Use: skin refresher and setting spray

This flower-power spray calls on nature to refresh, brighten and protect your skin. Apply after cleansing to refine pores and skin texture. With Rosewater to calm, Quince leaf to moisturise and Evodia to revive your natural radiance, and Daisy flowers to protect against chemical air pollutants.

With a fine mist, this super-cool skin treatment is also the ideal setting spray, finishing off your look for glowing, summer-worthy skin. (R139,99)

Spot and oil-control skin care

Purifying has Rooibos, soothing Baobab and salicylic acid to help prevent and heal spots and pimples, as well as control excess oiliness.

Purifying 3-in-1 Wash, Scrub and Mask

Uses: Cleanser, exfoliator, spot-control treatment

This is one of our most popular products and no wonder! You can use it every day in place of your regular cleanser as a foaming face wash, twice a week to gently scrub around oily problem areas to loosen dead skin cells and unclog pores, and then as a weekly mask to help clear spots and calm, moisturise and condition your skin. No plastic microbeads – so you’re helping save our rivers and oceans from pollution. (R69,99)
