The beauty essentials you need to know about

There are so many reasons to love the eponymous skincare range from Tata Harper, the queen of green skincare. Not only is the range non-toxic, naturally derived and intelligently considered, but it actually works – from the Elixir Vitae that focuses on filling to the relaxing technology that restores youthful volume and softens wrinkles. If you want to give your skin a healthy glow, add luster to dull skin with Tata Harper’s Concentrating Brightening Essence. Brimming with botanical actives, this beauty booster is effective on sun-speckled skin, softening dark spots and scarring. Or there’s the Crème Riche, with its instantly plumping effect, and the Elixir Vitae Eye Serum, a potent serum that reduces puffiness and brightens under-eye shadows, while firming and softening fine lines.

More than just a complexion perfector, a well-chosen base not only enhances skin but also hydrates skin and evens out tone, which is exactly what Surratt Beauty Dew Drop Foundation does. Not only is the liquid formula buildable but its lightweight texture is easily blendable, making it perfect for daily use. Another hero Surratt must-have is the Prismatique Eyes, which cleverly combines a bold cream and a shimmering powder in one compact. And, to finish off your makeup look, there’s the Pointilliste Mascara. The brush manages to grab and latch onto even the shortest lashes. Its jet-black formula adds bulk to lashes without making them appear clumpy – a rare feat.

LYMA’s ‘Multi-Nutrient Complex’, a supplement that has caused quite a stir in the wellness world, goes beyond the eye-catching Instagrammable appeal of its rose gold capsules. Formulated by LYMA’s leading nutritional scientist, Dr Paul Clayton, who wanted to create a modern mix that could tackle everyday stress, the supplement boosts energy, enhances balance in the body and strengthens the immune system. So what exactly is in this super supplement? It’s an unusual mix but one that when cocktailed together makes perfect sense. From stress-relieving adaptogen’s (herbs that have potent healing properties) and soluble keratin, which strengthens hair and nails, to cholesterol-reducing Lycopene (a super antioxidant), Vitamin D and high levels of Curcumin, a powerful antioxidant that can reduce inflammation. Take four capsules a day with food at roughly the same time every day and it’s claimed that you will start to notice the effects of LYMA in four weeks – with the full benefits taking effect after 90 days.

Beauty devices are fast becoming our very own at-home skin clinicians. So it should come as no surprise that NuFACE Trinity Facial Toning Kit has been designed to mirror the results of professional treatments. This skin-firming microcurrent device fits snugly between the contours of the face, to define jawlines, sculpt cheekbones and lift brows. Apply NuFACE Firming Gel Primer and use three times per week for lasting results, but just a one-off will give you the perfect pre-event facial lift. The NuFACE FIX Line Smoothing Device, on the other hand, is for instantly smoothing fine lines in more concentrated areas, particularly for those frustrating lines between the brows, under the eyes, and around the mouth. Using FIX around the mouth also creates fuller looking lips. Apply the line smoothing serum and treat target areas for three minutes, up to two times per day.
