The superstar serum: Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum
As the bestselling and most-talked-about serum, this little gem from Dr. Barbara Sturm works double duty to do more than just hydrate. Containing high- and low-weighted HA molecules (to target different layers of the skin), and anti-inflammatory purslane (parsley), it ensures a calm, healthy and well-functioning complexion. Plus, while some HA-based products can be sticky, this sinks right in, leaving skin looking beautifully plump and dewy.

Use it daily and you will see a real difference in the quality of your skin – I certainly did. Plus, for breakouts, the blue LED can be a game-changer.

Perfume may be a deeply personal choice, but these are the two clear – if very different – winners. Le Labo’s Santal 33 evokes the wildness of the American West thanks to its enveloping aromatic blend of smoky sandal and cedarwoods with powdery iris, while Frédéric Malle’s Carnal Flower’s heavy helping of tuberose absolute layers beautifully with jasmine, coconut and orange blossom for a decidedly sophisticated and sexy scent – and is a celebrity favorite.

Blending skincare with cover, the beauty of both is that they leave your complexion looking natural, fresh and glowing rather than ‘made up’.
The must-have mascara: Westman Atelier Eye Love You
Natural ingredients may form 95% of this impressive Westman Atelier mascara’s formula, but there’s no compromise when it comes to delivering thicker, fuller, lusher lashes. In a true carbon black (why are so many mascaras gray in tone?), it builds up color and coverage, and enhances lashes without leaving them looking brittle or clogged.
