Make a splash
Hit dry skin with a splash of Clinique’s juicy new Moisture Surge Hydro-Infused Lotion ($72), containing an exclusive aloe vera bio-ferment and hyaluronic acid complex for fast-acting and long-lasting hydration and skin-smoothing. Use twice daily after cleansing and before serums and moisturisers, or, for an immediate hydrating hit, soak a cotton pad then leave on the dry area for 3-5 minutes.
Brow down
New from affordable cult beauty favourites The Ordinary is its Multi-Peptide Lash & Brow Serum, ($33), a concentrated, lightweight serum utilising four separate peptide technologies a well as tea tree, red clover and larch wood extracts, caffeine and actives designed to promote the look of thicker, fuller and healthier lashes and brows. After cleansing and drying the application area, apply a thin layer along the lash line
and eyebrows morning and night.
Winter warmer
Elevate your shower experience with Soap & Glory’s Perfect Zen Warming Body Scrub ($20 at Mecca). Applied to wet skin, this innovative, pampering polisher scented with lavender and tonka bean creates a unique warming sensation while scrubbing away dead skin cells, dirt and impurities to leave skin looking radiant and feeling superbly smooth.
Lashing out
A gentle and refreshing way to cleanse lashes, brows and eyelids, RevitaLash’s newly formulated Micellar Water Lash Wash ($54) utilises aloe, chamomile, anti-ageing botanicals and natural humectant panthenol to draw out impurities, removing makeup, dirt and oil without drying the skin. The oil-free formula is suitable for sensitive eyes, lash extensions and contact lens wearers.
