From budget-friendly SPF to the ultimate body oil for lazy girls and a hard-performing natural deodorant from a Scottish brand, here are 6 new skin-care buys our Editor recommends adding to your basket.
Get Unblocked, Pore-Clearing Makeup-Removing Cleansing Oil, RRP £32
When you need to remove the layers of SPF, skincare, and makeup that have built up throughout the day, this powerful cleansing oil will do the job in seconds. The latest addition to Benefit’s iconic POREfessional range is enriched with essential fatty acids like Omega-9 to nourish and condition the skin, while Ceramide NP helps maintain moisture balance and Bisabolol soothes the skin.
Skin Food Ultra-Light Dry Oil, RRP £15.95
This is the lazy girl’s hack to nourished, glowing skin. A new addition to Weleda’s Skin Food range, this ultra-light, easy to apply spray contains plant oils and extracts of pansy, organic calendula, organic rosemary and organic chamomile to feed the skin.
Awaken Mint & Eucalyptus Natural Deodorant, £12.50
As a natural deodorant convert, I’ve tried many different brands over the years. This one from the beloved Scottish brand ARRAN Sense of Scotland, part of their new Naturals range, is a winner. The energising scent of peppermint, eucalyptus and rosemary gives me a lovely little boost in the morning. It also kept me fresh and dry during some of the hottest days of the Scottish summer, and has become my go-to.
Monat Exfoliating Peel Pads, RRP £70
These pads are great for glowing skin on your holidays. They have a mild glycolic acid (8%) from sugar cane, which is gentle for sensitive skin, plus amino acids, witch hazel and cucumber to softly remove dead skin cells and brighten your complexion. No need for bottles, just pack some in your bag. They’re ideal for swiping over your face after getting off the plane to tackle the dry skin (followed by an SPF 30+ on top of course).
Never Go Alone Renew Hand Cream, RRP £20
Our hands go through a lot every day, so treat them with this unique hand cream, rich in skin-loving ingredients such as fresh water algae, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide, which are usually found in face care products. The ingredients work together to improve skin health at its cellular level, moisturise and fight the effects of pollution and irritation. The gorgeous packaging and super nourishing ingredients make it a delight for your handbag, and a lovely gift idea.
YOUR gorgeous SKIN SPF50 Day Cream, RRP £18
This is a great SPF from Dr Paw Paw’s new YOUR gorgeous affordable skin range that gives your skin a lovely radiance. It features PAPAYALURONICTM, a blend of papaya extract and 8x hyaluronic acids that not only nourishes, soothes and hydrates the skin for a super soft feel, but also protects the skin cells and promotes a healthy skin barrier. Sun protection with added skin health benefits, it’s a win-win.
