Our Top Beauty & Wellness Buys From Boots

“I used to stock up on ONE/SIZE’s setting spray whenever I was in the US – until Boots started carrying it. For SPF, I’m a big fan of Ultra Violette. The Queen Screen is the perfect all-rounder: hydrating and protective without leaving my skin shiny or sticky. As for hair, I'm obsessed with this leave-in treatment by Redken – it makes mine so much smoother and softer. And finally, I’ve been a ghd devotee for longer than I care to admit (let’s just say I remember the original launch) so the brand’s new hairdryer is firmly at the top of my list.”

“Korean and Japanese skincare is having a real moment right now – and Boots has a brilliant line-up of brands to explore. PDRN, a powerful ingredient known for supporting the skin’s natural repair processes, is everywhere and Dr.Reju-All’s gel-cream is a great way to bring stressed complexions back into balance. If your skin needs a hydration hit, a milky toner is the way to go – Anua’s, powered by rice milk and ceramides, leaves skin instantly plumper and more comfortable. As the weather warms up, I also tend to reach for lighter cleansers, and Belif’s Aqua Bomb Jelly Cleanser is ideal if you love a satisfying foam but don’t want anything that strips the skin. Finally, Laneige: the Glaze Craze Lip Serums are in a league of their own for smoothness and comfort. My must-have shade is ‘Cinnamon Sugar’.”

“If there’s one supplement I swear by, it’s Zooki’s vitamin C. Each sachet contains 1000mg of liposomal vitamin C, meaning it’s easily absorbed and gets to work fast. If I feel run down it nips things in the bud – nursery germs come home daily with my toddler. Vitamin C also plays a role in collagen production, so take it consistently and you’ll notice a brighter, fresher-looking glow over time. Talking of skin, I’m also a big fan of REHAB Retreat’s under-eye patches. In just ten minutes they leave the eye area looking instantly more awake. I’m also looking forward to adding Free Soul’s creatine into my routine. The research around creatine and sleep deprivation is impressive – studies suggest it can help support memory and cognitive function when you’re running on less sleep than usual. This blend is pure, clean creatine monohydrate and comes highly recommended by several of the nutritionists I speak to. Finally, no spring/summer arsenal would be complete without a great SPF and Numbuzin’s Clear Filter gets my vote. It’s lightweight yet hydrating, applies like skincare and sinks in instantly.”
