Know Your Ingredients: Urea
What it is
Urea is a component of urine. However, Urea found in cosmetics is synthetic.
What it does
Urea is a humectant and a skin condition agent. It hydrates skin and is also an exfoliant.
Urea has water-binding properties and, when ingredients are added to a product, also has the ability to minimise changes in the acid and base balance of the product.
Side effects
When used in large quantities, Urea can be irritating and cause inflammation.
Inside Roxanne Pallett beauty bag
Roxanne Pallett is an English actress best known for her role as Jo Sudgen in British soap Emmerdale. Here is what the beautiful actress carries in her makeup bag:
CLINIQUE DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT MOISTURIZING LOTION (£15)
This moisturizing lotion maintains skin’s optimal moisture balance. Softens, smooths and improves the condition and texture of your skin. Roxanne likes this because it feels really light and doesn’t clog her skin.
YSL TOUCHE ECLAT (£22)
It adds a touch of light or banishes shadows and signs of fatigue from the eye area, the hollow of the chin, the contour of the lips and the sides of the nose. Roxanne says: “Every girl should have one, it’s perfect.”
BENEFIT BENETINT (£22.50)
Kiss-proof and water-proof, it gives your cheeks and lips a rose-colored tint.
BENEFIT HIGH BEAM (£15.50)
This satiny pink highlighter creates a young, radiant, fresh complexion on all skin tones.
NIVEA SUN MOISTURIZING AFTER SUN LOTION (£5.25)
The cooling and soothing lotion moisturises the skin. Regular application after sun exposure increases the skin moisture level providing a soft silky feeling. It maintains skin’s elasticity and ensures a long-lasting beautiful tan. Roxanne uses this all year long. She says: “It’s got such a great smell, there’s no way it should be kept in the cupboard until holiday.”
LANCOME JUICY TUBES POP (£13.50)
It gives your lips an instant “pop” of ultra-glossy shine, transparent colour and sparkling freshness.
