A drawer full of beauty products? That’s so last year. But a smoother and fresher you, with just a few staples? Hello...
We’ve got a new drop of the products you’ll actually use – from multifunctional moisturisers to silky-soft leave-ins for curly folk. Say hi to star brands like Aveeno and Cetaphil, and feast your eyes on hot-off-the-press picks from Hello Sunday.
OK: either you already own a Cetaphil product or you’ve been eyeing one up.
No matter if you’re a total skincare newbie or an aficionado going back to basics, this is the definition of simple but effective.
“The first thing most people with sensitive skin do is ditch their skincare products and use water only. This neither cleans the skin effectively, nor does it treat any possible underlying causes of skin issue,” explains Dr Alia Ahmed, Cetaphil’s consultant dermatologist.
Designed to cleanse and hydrate, this gentle formula is hypoallergenic, soap-free and approved by the British Skin Foundation. It’s suitable for daily use on the face and body for normal to dry skin and all ages.
“Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser contains ingredients like niacinamide, panthenol and glycerin, which improve hydration,” says Dr Ahmed.1
So, whether you’re taking off a full night’s face or introducing the tween in your life to skincare (no, they don’t need retinol or that £30 eye cream) you can rest assured that a fresh-feeling complexion is on the cards.
For best results, cleanse without water. Apply liberally and gently massage into the skin, then remove the excess with a cloth. Follow with the Cetaphil Moisturising Cream for a practically effortless morning and evening routine.
How does your hairdresser give you the best wash of all time? Well, their expertise comes into it – but a thorough hose down of your scalp helps too.
If your hair feels congested and ‘product-y’ even after a wash, this ultra-purifying shampoo could be the way to go.
Salicylic acid helps to gently exfoliate the scalp, budging product buildup and excess oil, while oil-absorbing oatmeal helps bring that super-clean feeling.2,3
Use as you would your normal shampoo – massage into wet hair and scalp, then rinse thoroughly. Follow up with Q+A Clarifying Conditioner for extra sleekness.
Are you ready for this jelly? Sorry, we had to.
We left crunchy, scrunchy waves in 2010... but we’ve entered the rebirth of the curly girl, this time with glossy, defined coils.
Noughty’s Hello Curl Scrunching Jelly offers shaping, body and medium hold to your natural hair pattern, alongside a blend of vitamin and mineral-rich sea botanicals including sea fennel and conditioning Irish moss.4
Coat damp curls with the jelly from lengths to ends. Scrunch dry with a diffuser or leave to air dry.
Never sticky and always shiny, it’s a must for a put-together look. Be ready in minutes, feel your best and give your hair a treat for good behaviour.
NEOM’s earned luxury status for its stylish scented candles (which you can find at H&B, by the way). But here we’re shouting about the Real Luxury Magnesium Body Butter, made to help you de-stress and smell irresistible.
Shea butter, grapeseed oil and coconut oil leave skin feeling nourished and radiant.5,6,7 And the scent’s an absolute treat – think indulgent layers of lavender, jasmine and sandalwood.
The perfect gift for woody, floral scent lovers (yourself included), it also provides 88mg of magnesium per 5ml.
Calling out for a simpler way to remove body hair? We’ve found the ANSWR.
You’ll stay smooth with no blades, no creams and no pain – only this reusable drop.
Pull dry skin tight, then rub the drop in circular motions until the hairs fall out. Finish with a body lotion (and don’t forget to rinse your drop!).
Not only does it reduce your risk of nicks, but it shortens your shopping list. When used weekly, the drop lasts for up to six months (you’d use twelve razors in the same time).
Part of the daily SPF gang? Perfect.
That said, you can’t slap suncream on your lips – and they’re as susceptible to damage as the rest of your skin. So, a protective lip SPF (that doubles as gloss) is one to add to your routine.
You’ll have SPF 50 protection against UVA and UVB – and, thanks to shea butter and hyaluronic acid, you’ll be super-soft too. Bye-bye, chapped lips...
Apply generously before sun exposure and top up through the day.
Sensitive skin isn’t just about itching. Dryness, roughness and tightness might mean you need gentler products too.
Cetaphil’s unscented facial moisturiser offers lightweight nourishment, helping protect skin of all ages from dryness.
Hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin, while glycerin locks in moisture.1,8 Smooth onto freshly cleaned skin and massage in circular motions. For a full routine, pair with the Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel and Hydrating Night Cream.
Give life to dehydrated skin with a spray that’ll truly have you feeling your oats. Aveeno’s Skin Relief Spray is rich in fatty jojoba and oat oils, providing long-lasting moisture with a lightweight feel.
The fine mist means you can cover large areas quickly without greasiness or residue – just an all-over shine.
Throw into travel bags and gym kits or treat a loved one to a silky massage that cares for their skin too.
We wouldn’t swap sun protection for the world, but sometimes suncreams can be a little too sticky. Enter Altruist Face Fluid, a sheer liquid SPF 50 that’s also a moisturiser.
As well as its five-star ultra-UVA rating, it’s enriched with vitamin E to help protect against free radicals and oxidative stress.9
More of us are learning that SPF isn’t only for sunny days. So, whether you’re globetrotting or just soaking up those rare autumn rays, this is one to keep handy. Apply 20 minutes before going outside and reapply frequently through the day – et voilà.
The final say
Grey mornings or spontaneous sunshine strolls, you can do it all feeling more radiant than ever. Here’s to a quick upgrade...
