Lumene Arctic Hydra Care Moisture & Relief Rich Night Balm

Given all of our frolicking in the snow this weekend, our skin couldn’t be in more dire need of some TLC if it tried. This rich and luxurious night balm is by Finland’s best kept beauty secret, Lumene.

Boasting a starry line-up of nurturing Nordic Oat Butter, lasting moisture-locking Beta Complex, and a soothing Nordic oil blend, this is one to slather on before bed. Get ready to wake up to some seriously glowing skin.

Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Exfoliating Body Treatment

The sequel to Dr. Dennis Gross’ best-selling Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel comes by way of the brand’s first exfoliating body treatment.

Using a heady mix of AHAs and BHAs, the treatment comes in the form of a towel which works to slough off dead skin, revealing a seriously glowing radiance. The squalene also works to help improve the appearance of ingrown hairs which, if you’ve had to revert back to shaving in lockdown, will come as a welcomed reprieve.

Cocolab Cocofloss

“The truth is, skipping flossing is like taking a shower without washing about a third of your body because toothbrushes can’t reach 35 per cent of your teeth’s surfaces," says Dr. Chrystle Cu, co-founder of Cocofloss, the new eco-floss range coming to clean up your act.

Available in four different flavours, the vegan floss is made using coconut oil, which is naturally antimicrobial and fruit oils, to ensure your mouth is left squeaky clean post-use. One roll contains enough for two months’ worth of use, so plenty of bang for your buck too.

Charlotte Tilbury Hyaluronic Happikiss

Pillowtalk enthusiasts, rejoice! Beauty doyenne Charlotte Tilbury has done it again with her latest lip launch, her Happikiss lipstick balms. Bursting with hyaluronic acid for hydration, C-peptides to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and passioline (passion fruit seed oil) butter to nourish parched pouts.

But don’t just take it from us. In the brand’s own user trials over four weeks, it found that 92 per cent agreed that their lips felt kissably soft and smooth after using the balm, while 90 per cent agreed that it was a joy to use. If you’re unsure where to start, try the cult Pillow Talk shade which will impart one helluva kissable sheen.

West Room Aesthetics Skin Heroes Box

“Traditionally, skincare boxes have been a challenge for consumers due to the fact that everyone has different skin types, and catering to individuality when it comes to skincare has been overlooked with this model," says Dija Ayodele, founder of West Room Aesthetics.

Ayodele’s remedy? To offer bespoke skincare boxes to cater specifically to your skin type. I’ve been using the products in my combination box - and the accompanying routine - for the last two weeks and my skin is radiant.
