G.0 Exfoliating Scalp Treatment
£30 | Typebea
Healthy hair starts at the scalp. Whether you’re experiencing itchiness, oiliness or flakiness, a product that can rebalance and soothe is worth its weight in gold. New by Typebea, this pre-wash treatment works to shift build-up and replenish moisture, creating a healthier environment for growth. It’s also so easy to apply thanks to the precision nozzle. For the best results, simply massage into dry hair, leave on for five minutes then rinse.

Beauty of Joseon has quietly become our go-to for affordable SPF and now that applies to the body, too. Perfect for picking up last-minute ahead of your holiday, this is about to flip everything you thought you knew about sun protection on its head. Featherlight and quick to absorb, Hydra Shield nods to the brand’s viral facial formula while staying true to its skin-friendly approach. Bonus points for being excellent value for money.

If your nails are on the brink, you need this in your corner. Whether you’re having a break from gels or just leaning into a lower-maintenance look, these drops can help nurse them back to health.

Hue Glazing Balm SPF50 Lip & Cheek Tint
£36 | Byfrow
We live for a handy multi-tasker and if you’re into grab-and-go make-up that makes an impact fast, this is one to try. Delivering a luminous, glazy finish, this is great for breathing life back into your skin. Go sheer or build up the pigment for a bolder look. Our tip is to dab a little onto your lips and cheeks for a cohesive colour moment.

One For All Leave-In Elixir
£29 | Aveda
Aveda’s latest launch seriously earns its keep. It’s a leave-in formula but reassuringly lightweight. Formulated with moringa oil, it works on multiple levels, rehydrating parched strands while helping to detangle, reduce breakage, minimise frizz and protect against damage. For best results, shake well and spritz through damp strands before styling.

Glimmer Eau de Parfum
£125 | Estée Lauder
Inspired by the idea of a small, unexpected moment of joy, Estée Lauder’s Glimmer is worth trying if you’re into fruity florals. Radiant and dessert-like – but crucially never cloying – it blends accords of macaron rose and raspberry mousse with cosy cashmeran, vanilla bean and a luminous, ambery undercurrent.

SuperSuede Baked Eyeshadow
£28 | Saie
Trust us, you’ll get so much more wear out of a few well-chosen shades of eyeshadow over a giant palette. New from Saie, these are beautiful. Baked in Italy, ultra-fine and blending like a dream thanks to jojoba esters, ceramides and squalane, the shades – spanning from demi-mattes to low-lit shimmers – are flattering and considered. Our favourite is ‘Affogato Shimmer’, a gorgeous, earthy bronze.

Summer Revived Medium To Dark Gradual Tan Lotion
£4.99 (was £9.99) | Dove
A little bit of glow can help you feel your best at this time of year and if you’re not into traditional self-tan, a gradual formula goes a long way. We’ve just fallen back in love with Dove’s recently reformulated classic and it does not disappoint. Powered by a skin-friendly cocktail of ceramides, niacinamide, aloe vera and glycerin, it leaves your skin soft and glowing – without any risk of streaks.

Rich Slip Shaving Oil
£22.49 | Nimbi
It’s that time of year that calls for a little more skin on show and for a smoother, cleaner shave, you need Nimbi’s oil. It transforms a mundane ritual like shaving into an act of pleasure. Full of vitamin E, avocado and jojoba oils, this creates such a seamless glide and we love how supple and nourished legs feel afterwards. Trust us – it’s a game-changer.

The Airshot Pro + Volumiser Attachments
£99 | Cloud Nine
Thoughtfully engineered to help you dry, style and volumise all at once, Cloud Nine’s latest launch is something of a multi-tasker – ideal if you’re wanting to cut down on individual styling tools. Fitted with intelligent temperature regulation, it adapts up to 100 times per second to protect your hair against heat spikes and also comes with magnetic volumiser attachments that guarantee easy, effortless body and bounce.

Future Memories Eau De Parfum
£155 | Byredo
Soft yet verdant, Future Memories strikes a nice balance. Unlike anything else we’ve tried, notes of galbanum and blackcurrant keep things round and crisp, while a base of orris, vanilla and musk adds a blanket of comfort. If you’re after something striking and unique, make this your new signature.
Available at BYREDO.COM
Smart Eye Density
£125 | Dermalogica
For a fresher-looking eye area, Dermalogica has you covered. Harnessing the power of growth factors – one of the buzziest ingredients right now – this works by boosting your skin’s renewal processes, in turn encouraging it to rebuild lost volume. At £125 it’s an investment, but worth it if you’re on the hunt for a topical treatment that can make a difference over something more invasive.
