Why You’ll Love It: We’ve seen this new SPF brand everywhere recently.

Why You’ll Love It: This brand isn’t new, but it’s recently gained a lot of traction thanks to its old-school packaging and effective formulas.

Lapcos Sheet Masks, £2.50
Why You’ll Love It: These biodegradable Korean masks are a must-try if you’re after, quick results. Their vast line offers a huge variation – from those that target dehydration to dullness – with key, buzzworthy ingredients. They’re our go-to for soothing dry, flaky patches, thanks to hyaluronic acid and rose flower extract – a natural anti-inflammatory. Like a drink for the skin, you only need to leave one on for 10-20 minutes to immediately see a smoother, more refined surface – results may not last for days on end, but they are instantaneous. We recommend checking out the foot masks, too.

Why You’ll Love It: With zero-waste packaging and a plastic-free brass handle, this is sustainable in every way – even the blades are recyclable.

As you use it, take small, swift strokes and make sure you’re controlled as you go. You’ll find the weighty head and smooth blades mean fewer nicks ingrown hairs, too.

UKA Colour Base, £19
Why You’ll Love It: We love this serum-infused base coat that doubles up as a nail polish, too.

Layer up three coats for a soft, peachy finish.
