Welcome to our Favourites of the month — once again, beauty junkies Ana and Belen have put together a monthly roundup of new releases and undisputed favourites worth adding to your online cart ASAP. From wellness to beauty finds, here are the things these two editors can’t stop talking about.
Ana
Arbonne Rescue & Renew Detox Soak
In a period where things are, pretty, scary, one of the best things we can try to do is stay calm. One of the best ways to do this is to take time out for yourself and indulge in a self-care moment that involves some of your favourite beauty products. The best place to start for me, is with a good, bath full of bubbles, salts and oils. The Arbonne Rescue & Renew Detox Soak takes the edge of turbulent times thanks to the combination of sea salt crystals, infused with pure essential oils, which leaves the skin feeling soft and supple and your mind more relaxed in no time.
Georgie Mane 10 Minute Hair Mask
Next up in the comfort line-up comes a good hair mask. Like a trusty cup of tea, a good hair mask make most things better. While I’m all in on a dedicated skincare regime, I don’t always make time for my hair. Don’t get me wrong I refuse to go to bed without my silk pillowcase under my head, however, sometimes my hair needs a little bit extra to stay on point.
I’m currently spoiling my hair at least once a week with a deep conditioning 10 minute treatment. The Georgie Mane 10 minute hair mask is essentially the hair-care equivalent of (your hair getting it’s well-deserved beauty sleep) It’s made with ingredients like coconut oil, avocado, shea butter, argan oil and castor oil that leave your hair shiny, softer and repaired. Bonus? Smell delicious and the consistency is creamy yet lightweight.
Belen
2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, Paula’s Choice
Suffering from ISO skin? Say no more, this A-cult on liquid is the answer of all your prays, I have been obsessed with AHA’s, BHA’s and all the acids that might pop over your mind, that’s right. But none have worked as quick as this PC one. It’s been working wonders both on pores and texture, and I’m even seeing an improvement on my scars. Am I on an ISO dream, or is this real? – My inner child asks with excitement-
Why you’ll love it too? Its unique leave-on formula it’s gentle enough for daily use on almost all skin types, what it makes it as unique is its optimal pH range of 3.2–3.8. Say bye to dead skin cells while welcoming clear pores for a more even and radiant tone.
Why I can’t stop talking about it? It unclogs pores, optimising skin renewal and clarity for mind-blowing smoother skin, smaller pores and a refined texture are a given from day 1! It has the perfect formula mixing Salicylic acid and Green Tea, perfect balance for the complexion you should have even in ISO times.
Don’t forget to use SPF if using daytime, actually let me tell you something, you should use it anyway.
MUTINY, Medik8
As my mum used to say it’s always better to anticipate when you can, and that’s what the first lip balm from Medik8 does, it anticipates nourishment and replenishment for dewy, soft and drenched hydrated lips. I couldn’t ask more for what’s become an essential on my at-home desk. While usual lippys are good temporary fixes for dry lips, this one from Medik8 will form a safe barrier on your lips providing a supple appearance of the lips long-term.
Why you’ll love it too? Its unique gel-like formula is intensified with plant-sourced sea buckthorn oil, which infuses the top layers of the lip skin with fatty omega oils to repair and restore its lips natural barrier. ICYMI: Lips have a thinner barrier than your actual skin, so better spoil them, if you want hydrated lips ready for any unexpected situation, even at ISO – while scrolling all the way through Hinge-
Why I can’t stop talking about it? Squalane! Mutiny uses natural squalane as its golden star for nourishing and protecting the lippy skin. This win-win formula also features multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate every layer of the lip skin, as you might hear, hyaluronic acid retain 1,000x its own weight in water being a perfect ally for chapped lips.
Upgrade your masking game and try a thick layer in the evening to let it work as a nourishing overnight lip mask.
