1. The Potent Wrinkle Filler
Product: Vichy LiftActiv Supreme H.A. Epidermic Filler
Why You Need It: If you want to delay the injectables, Vichy’s latest serum fills, smooths and plumps skin, thanks to its high content of hyaluronic acid (1.5%) and collagen-boosting peptides.
Beauty Team Notes:
”Its viscose texture feels like Mineral 89 on acid. Even after 1 night of using this serum, my skin bounced back. I never thought I looked that tired, but I couldn’t believe the difference overnight.” – Chelsey, Beauty Team Manager.
Top Tip: When you’re using the serum, squeeze the plastic nib above the tip to get your desired amount quickly, it will save a lot of frustration.

2. The Firming Broad-Spectrum SPF
Product: La Roche-Posay Anthelios Age Correct Cream SPF50
Why You Need It: Anthelios Age Correct only takes 4 weeks to diffuse the signs of ageing. Wrinkles, dark spots and the lack of elasticity are corrected daily when you use this SPF.
Beauty Team Notes:
Everything you want in sun protection, this cream has. Broad-spectrum protection (UVA and UVB protection, including IRA-A and HEVL) A desirable texture that’s not too scented or too thick. An easy to use pump, so you always dispense the perfect amount and don’t contaminate the formula and it delivers anti-ageing results!
Top Tip: Always apply sun protection after your moisturiser (unless told otherwise by the brand), and leave 5 minutes before applying your primer/foundation or next step. The minimum amount to dispense is around half a teaspoon to make sure you’re properly protected.

3. The Volumising Hair Serum
Product: Klorane Quinine Hair Strengthening Serum
Why You Need It: If you want strong, healthy hair, this daily serum will help your hair regain vitality, body and bounce, while reducing hair loss
Beauty Team Notes:
”Within 3 months you can see visible results from using the Quinine serum. It’s great at repairing snapped ends from peroxide, or adding thickness to thin hair that needs a boost.”
Top Tip: The application method includes using 2-3 times weekly after washing your hair, so pencil out 15 minutes each time to give yourself an in-depth scalp massage to improve the penetration of the product – plus, it gives you some me-time.

4. The Sought-After Cleanser
Product: Eucerin Urea Repair Plus Urea Shower Foam
Why You Need It: Rough, dry or tight skin?
Beauty Team Notes:
When cleanser, showering or bathing, it’s imperative you keep skin comforted, especially if it’s dry, as harsh waters can make your skin drier. The foam within this body wash is packed with gold standard care for dry skin. It binds moisture into the outermost layers of skin and it also encourages natural skin renewal to create healthy, smooth skin.
Top Tip: You can even use it as a face wash as part of a double cleanse to remove makeup and preserve your skin’s natural protective barrier. I tried it after a day of my eyes streaming in the wind and it didn’t sting or burn even though it has a delicate scent, to me that’s a sign of a great product.
5. The Overnight Glow-Giver
Product: Decleor White Magnolia Intensive Cure 60 Capsules
Why You Need It: If you feel your skin looks drab, grey and lacks a natural, healthy glow, the Decleor caps improve the skin’s tone, texture and condition in just one week.
Beauty Team Notes:
The Decleor Magnolia caps are a real treat for the skin. Even though the jar contains a 60-day treatment, you can see visible glowy results by morning. Each bead contains a 96% natural oil-serum bursting with antioxidants and brightening vitamin C and ferulic acid desgined to smooth away wrinkles and dark spots. What’s also special about these capsules is the relaxing scent of white florals to help you relax before bed.
Top Tip: To get the most out of the application, apply any excess to your neck and hands. If your skin is dry, follow with a rich moisturiser after using the capsules to wake up to softer results.
6. The Enhanced Face Mist
Product: Avene Hydrance Hydrating Mist
Why You Need It: Everyone should have a hydrating face mist on hand, especially if your skin doesn’t retain moisture well. Avene Hydrance Mist will help top up your hydration levels while adding a layer of protection against pollution and oxidative stress.
Beauty Team Notes:
Dehydrated skin, or dry skin types will love the texture of this face mist, it’s not watery, and it’s not oily; think of it as 5% oil and 95% water – it’s just enough to make you feel the hydration hit your skin, but not in an overburdened way. The glow this mist gives is also 10/10.
Top Tip: If you haven’t got a makeup setting spray, use this as the final step in your routine to lock your look in for longer!
