The Beauty Upgrades To Know This Season

When it comes to creams that truly nourish the complexion, La Mer’s Moisturizing Soft Cream really does stand out – it has cult status for good reason. This softer, lighter version comes with all the hero ingredients of the classic Crème de la Mer – which contains the renowned Miracle Broth – but without the heaviness, meaning it can be used both day and night. It sinks in beautifully to leave skin velvety-soft, giving weary skin an incredible, dewy glow.

Dr. Barbara Sturm’s skincare is already a global bestseller, and now she is taking her same gold-standard formulations and applying them to body care. Inspired by her bestselling Super Anti-Aging Face Serum, the rich texture of this body serum makes it a real treat to use – and the ingredients more than measure up. Powerful anti-stretch-mark properties, algae extract to improve skin texture, and potent antioxidants (including the brand’s hero ingredient, purslane) help prevent premature aging. What’s more, results are instant – skin is left radiant and healthier-looking after just one thorough application.

Just like the perfect accessory can lift a look, so too can the right lipstick. There is something incredibly joyful about the pop of apricot that Chantecaille Wild Meadows Lip Chic gives to lips. The finish is creamy because it’s infused with hyaluronic acid, so we also recommend patting it onto cheekbones and eye lids (use the warmth of your fingertips to blend) for the prettiest of skin finishes.

As the season changes, so should your fragrance, and spring is the perfect time to experiment with florals. Inspired by the full bloom of nature on a beautiful day, this aromatic rush of sweetly sophisticated, sun-steeped magnolia leaves the most head-turning of trails. We recommend spritzing on pulse points, clavicles and backs of knees.

There are many reasons why the launch of Westman Atelier caused a stir within the beauty industry – from her Baby Cheeks Blush Stick that leaves the most beautiful pop of color to cheeks and the statement Lip Suede Les Rouges for a truly iconic red lip. But makeup artist Gucci Westman’s latest launch is truly special. A weightless gel serum, Westman Atelier Skin Activator contains 12 potent actives to hydrate, strengthen, correct, soften fine lines, reduce enlarged pores and brighten – it’s truly a one-stop product for better skin.

For when you need something that little bit more potent, Natura Bisse Diamond Luminous Perfecting Serum is a must. What makes this serum stand out is that it delivers a shot of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, prickly pear cactus extract, carnosine and illuminating peptides to intensely hydrate the skin at all levels. Ideal for those prone to fine lines and parched skin, the serum quickly soaks in, creating a smoother, tighter canvas for makeup.
