For Pigment & Protection
Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen Broad Spectrum, £17 | Beauty Of Joseon
Korea’s Beauty Of Joseon has a lot to live up to now its OG suncare has earned so many rave reviews. Happily, this ultra-light SPF tint is a no-brainer if you want UV protection with some built-in colour – especially if you’re oil-prone and wanting to avoid overloading your skin with product. Note that the coverage is extremely sheer – it’s not a substitute for a tinted moisturiser or CC cream, but on lazy days it’s a flattering, slightly fresher alternative to going bare-faced.

For The Hottest New Ingredient
Exosome Hydro-Glow Complex, £20 | The Inkey List
Hailed as the need-to-know skin rejuvenator, exosomes were only available in salons or from high-end brands until recently. Bringing this buzzy ingredient to the high street, The Inkey List’s new serum doesn’t disappoint. Formulated with three million plant-derived exosomes, it gently resurfaces, calms inflammation and supercharges collagen production, leaving your skin looking visibly plumper and bouncier.

For bringing dry, damaged hair back from the brink, this is a lovely, budget-friendly option by OGX. Formulated with wheat protein, it hydrates and strengthens the hair shaft, creating a luxe, glossy finish without the unpleasant, heavy feel. Run a couple of pumps through damp mid-lengths and ends for best results.

For Wide - Awake Eyes
Brighten Up Energising Eye Cream, £26 | Sculpted By Aimee
Irish MUA Aimee Connolly has already impressed us with her high-performance make-up, and now she’s shifted her focus to skin. This is one to have on your radar if you’re prone to puffiness. Powered by a cocktail of caffeine, niacinamide and peptides, it feels so refreshing around the eyes – essential if you’re hungover or simply missed out on your usual eight hours. We also love the cryo-tip applicator for that extra hit of coolness.

For On-The-Go Top-Ups
Aqua Rich UV Invisible Face Mist SPF 50, £12.28 (was £17.99) | Bioré
We all know daily SPF is a must, but how many of us actually bother to reapply it after the recommended two hours? We’re willing to bet not enough. Known for its weightless suncare, J-beauty brand Bioré is onto a winner with this new mist. Gentle, quick to absorb and with a near-invisible finish, there are no excuses for skipping it. Throw it in your bag so you can stay protected on the go.
