When shopping for skincare, knowing your skin concerns can help find products with ingredients that can tackle them.
After the cold winter months, the skin can lack moisture, leaving it feeling dry and looking dull and flat.
As we approach the new season, many look for ways to improve the health of their skin and add vitamins and hydration back in.
Space NK’s premium beauty and skincare range may not seem like the place to go for affordable products, however the sale has seen huge reductions on otherwise expensive brands.
The Nimya License to Glow serum has been discounted from £32 to £9.60, making it a highly affordable option to rival some high street brands.

The serum delivers a mild exfoliating effect to lift redness and smooth and even out the skin.
It also includes ingredients to deliver much-needed nutrients and antioxidants to the skin, and to boost radiance.
To sink hydration deep into the skin’s layers, squalane and marula oil are both anti-inflammatory, working to calm the skin while also revitalising its appearance.
The serum is racking up reviews with Space NK shoppers, some of whom say it ‘works as a primer’.
Pixpini said: ”I am on my third bottle of this. The first is what I am using. The second one is to stock up. The third one is as a gift. I feel this product truly needs more love and hype. Because I find this an ingenious product, I think everyone will love it if used correctly for their skin type. I have a very (very) warm skin tone and this is a very cool product and works wonders for me. Because it is a cool tone it mimics water properties and has a water-like effect. It could be used as a highlighter or for body radiance, but for me, the optimal use is as a primer or skin enhancer under makeup.”
CB15 commented: ”This serum works for me as a primer. I love the colour very much and also the consistency, however it leaves my skin a bit sticky even after having applied a moisturiser. I wouldn’t say it leaves a glow, however, I have noticed that since I have been using it, my make-up looks still quite ‘fresh’ at the end of the day. So, this serum works for me very well. I think the colour and the material of the bottle is also very cool.”
SueB1 also added: ”Bought this serum in the sale – an absolute bargain! Was surprised at the blue colour, but this soon disappeared and left my skin silky smooth with a lovely glow, even after applying my foundation. The bottle is gorgeous and such a striking colour.”
Although the serum is affordable at the current price, if you’re looking for a product you can affordably repurchase over and over again, The Ordinary 100% Cold Pressed Virgin Marula Oil contains one of the key ingredients for hydration.
