Sleep easy
Designed to help bring balance to your mind and body, the new, super-calming Sleep range from The Body Shop is a true joy! Enriched with lavender and vetiver, my picks from the collection are the gloriously aromatic Sleep Bedtime Balm, $33, which delivers a boost of moisture wherever and whenever you need it, and the Sleep Calming Pillow Mist, $39, for those who need a little extra nudge heading to the land of nod.
Screen time
If you’re still using the same tube of sunscreen from this time last year, throw it out! Most do not provide appropriate protection after 12 months and you want to be more than prepared heading into summer. A great new formula is Mecca Max Screen Saver SPF30 Facial Sunscreen, $28, which has broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, is light and easy to apply, and gives an invisible matte finish. Especially designed with make-up wearers in mind, it provides a real-skin finish that’s non-greasy and gentle, even on blemish-prone skin.
Problem skin SOS
Spots troubling you? Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Liquid Peel, $55, is here to help. Designed to be used once or twice a week, it has a blend of AHAs and BHAs, and was formulated to target breakouts, resurface skin for a smoother texture and fade post-breakout marks.
Mediterranean moment
The next best thing to an Italian holiday, Glasshouse Fragrances Sunsets in Capri scent collection now comes with two limited-edition body products. The coffee-based Body Scrub, $69.95, and rich Body Cream, $59.95, are guaranteed to transport you to the Med, without the long-haul flight and budget blowout!
Correct and conceal
Spring means a lighter approach to make-up, but if you’re battling dark circles after a long winter, Clinique Even Better All-Over Primer + Color Corrector, $58, is your new best friend. A long-wearing primer that instantly camouflages under-eye circles and visibly improves the look of them over time, it means less concealer is needed – a bonus if you’re concerned about it settling into fine lines.
Extra TLC
If your skin is feeling a little sensitive and lacklustre after a few months of cold and air-conditioning, Clarins Calm-Essentiel Repairing Soothing Balm, $70, is here to help. Specifically formulated for sensitive, weakened skin, it has what the iconic French brand calls a “bandage-like” texture, and is designed to help improve the skin’s tolerance to the elements over time.
Just peachy
The delicious-tasting Dose & Co. Pure Collagen Peptides Peach, $39.99, is the perfect way to give your skin a little beauty boost from the inside as we head further into spring. For improved skin hydration and elasticity, just add two teaspoons to your water bottle or baking to get your daily dose of the good stuff.
