breakout-prone skin. For a more purse- friendly option, Glossier’s Mask Duo (£30, glossier.com) gives you a £6 discount for buying the Moisturizing Moon Mask and Mega Greens Galaxy Pack together. One detoxifies and the other hydrates. Lots of people worry that oils might add grease or clog pores – but there’s no need. Face and body oils are a wonderfully natural way to add hydration and promote supple, soft skin. Angela Langford Bloom and Glow (£20.50, angelalangford.com) is packed with chia seed and buckthorn, great for calming inflammation and restoring radiance. For the bod, Olverum Dry Body Oil (£36, bathandunwind.com) is a beautifully lightweight oil spray with heady bergamot and bitter orange leaf oils to leave skin feeling spa-fresh and relaxed. For fans of salon treatments who like the idea of gadgetry at home, a new device from BeGlow, the Tia (£199, lookfantastic. co.uk), uses pulsation technology to remove impurities and make-up more effectively than cleansing with hands. The pulses smartly adjust from 4500 times per minute to 8500 times per minute according to your skincare needs, and
ith autumn here and chillier spells creeping up on us, it’s a good time to think about switching up your skincare
routine. Whether this means considering a winter SPF (yep, that’s a thing), a richer moisturiser or a new gadget, read on for my favourite picks this season. I’m a big fan of SPF; it keeps you younger looking, and your skin protected. An SPF should be worn every day because ultraviolet, an invisible radiation, is present all year round. For time-saving protection, I recommend It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream (£32, Boots). With a whopping SPF 50+ UVA/UVB broad- spectrum sunscreen, your skin will be fully protected and also glowing with a beautifully flawless finish. I am totally sold on its natural-looking but buildable formula. There’s also no flashback for those worried about photography. Be sure to pop along to Boots, Petty Cury, to check out the new It Cosmetics counter, and if you need any persuasion to purchase the Superhero Mascara (£19) while you’re there, then let this be it. Silky, long, thick lashes for miles – my absolute favourite. If you’re feeling a little weather-beaten, a face mask is a wonderful way to unwind and rejuvenate tired skin. Use an exfoliator before your mask to get rid of dead skin that your mask would be otherwise wasted on. I love Superfacialist Vitamin C+ Gentle Daily Micro Polish Wash, £10 from Boots or Sainsbury’s. A gentle yet effective skin polish, it smells incredibly citrussy and leaves skin renewed. Once your skin is feeling fresh, nourish it with a mask suited to your skin type and needs. If you’re feeling flush, I recently tried (and loved) Goldfaden MD Facial Detox Clarify + Clear Mask (£58, SpaceNK). Packed with grapefruit seed oil, raspberry fruit extract and grape, it works to pull out impurities and rejuvenate skin. Non-drying and utterly refreshing, this mask is suitable for
Ditching the cleansing wipes and choosing an environmentally friendly option for facial cleansing is a must, and these Facial Rounds fromMarley’s Monsters (£14.95 for a bundle of 20, liveinthelight.co.uk) make it so much cuter. Available in a bunch of awesome patterns, they’re made from cotton flannel so are easy to throw in the wash, and they can be used many times over. THE ONE THAT I WANT
work to firm and tone muscles for a youthful lift. A great environmentally conscious alternative to wipes, the silicone design is ultra-hygienic for deep cleaning.
