La Prairie Cellular Mineral Face Exfoliator
Lately, beauty products are expected to offer more than just physical benefits to our daily routines. La Prairie Cellular Mineral Face Exfoliator doesn’t disappoint. Its light gel formula glides easily over the face, while the fine exfoliating beads work their magic to leave skin refreshed, clear and well hydrated. The formulation includes white diamond powder and tourmaline - a semi-precious stone known for offering tolerance and compassion energies as well as a flexible, happy vibration. Tourmaline is also thought to heal skin disorders and purify skin while also protecting it from radiation. I treat myself to this little luxury once a week and my skin loves it. I get an instant tone and glow literally from the inside out. It might not be overstating it to say this facial exfoliator could definitely improve your life! - Janet

zk'in certified organic skincare Hydrating Mist
As we head into summer (and especially on stinking hot days like today!), hydrating facial mists are an absolute godsend when it comes to feeling refreshed and relaxed. Not only does zk'in certified organic skincare's Hydrating Mist do this, but it also includes the very hard-working ingredient, Maritech Bright. Derived from brown seaweed, Maritech Bright works to reduce redness after UV exposure by 50 per cent - in just two hours. It also helps to combat water loss to improve skin moisturisation by 25 per cent. Ah-mazing! - Yelena

Mesoestetic Energy C Intensive cream
I love bright, natural-looking skin that has that healthy sheen we all know and love. To achieve this, I’ve been using Mesoestetic Energy C Intensive Cream as it is a brightening moisturiser that helps to reduce the visible signs of ageing. The cream is formulated with a high concentration of stable vitamin C, which evens out skin tone and protects skin from the harmful effects of UV rays. It also contains vitamin E and osilift - an ingredient extracted from oats which offers anti-wrinkle properties and delivers a flash-lifting effect. I’ve been using this product morning and night and have really noticed a difference in the vibrancy and texture of my skin. - Whitney

Joico Gold Dust Shimmer Finishing Spray
To me, there is something about a little bit of shimmer that adds an element of fun and glamour to any look. And while the Joico Gold Dust Shimmer Finishing Spray does this with its subtle gold flecks, it also does wonders for my hair thanks to the inclusion of Bio-Advanced Peptide Complex. This complex mimics the exact peptide chain needed to optimally repair and protect hair, so it works to not only repair damage, but also prevent future damage by creating a molecular shield of protection around the hair's structure. As a result, hair feels dramatically stronger, and looks healthier and shinier. It’s a winner! - Maddie
