6 Products Our Editors Can’t Get Enough Of This Month: January 2023

“I love anything that works to nourish and repair my skin barrier so when the Ole Henriksen HydraBarrier Nourishing Face Oil came across my desk I was absolutely delighted. Formulated with skin-supporting peptides and Scandinavian berry oils, this formula works to lock in hydration, improve uneven texture and smooth the skin. I love to apply it in the evenings after my moisturiser and spent five minutes really massaging it into the skin. It is a little moment for me and it’s a huge bonus that it works wonders for my complexion.”

“As an Art Director I’m not ashamed to admit I often purchase based on packaging alone. Lancôme’s Le 8 Hypnose Mascara’s glass packaging is impressively luxe and somewhat sexy – if a mascara can be described as that. Inside, the formulation and brush work in harmony to give my short and straight lashes a good dose of length and volume.”

“If there’s one step in my routine that I never miss, it’s applying the perfect hydrating serum. And the Skin Series B3 Hydration Serum is the newest mainstay in my arsenal of hardworking skincare. Lightweight in consistency, it contains a blend of niacinamide and hyaluronic acid which helps to hydrate, calm and brighten the skin. It is also great for helping keep oils at bay as it regulated excess sebum production, works at protecting the skin barrier and pairs well with retinol (a match made in heaven).”

“After a very fast-paced 2022, I’ve come into the new year wanting to focus more on balance and calmness in my everyday life. Scent can have such a powerful effect on our memories, emotions and energy. I have been basking in the woody, sweet notes of The Ayu’s limited edition Indra Perfume Oil. With a harmonising blend of sandalwood, vetiver and vanilla, this bottle of Ayurvedic goodness has left me feeling grounded and calm.”

“If you are looking to level up your AM and PM beauty routine, consider the Milk Makeup KUSH Lash and Brow Boosting Serum the perfect addition. The serum is 90 per cent natural, super easy to apply and it keeps your lashes and brows looking longer, fuller and more nourished. With ingredients like hemp-derived seed extract, KUSH peptide, Aloe, B5 and quinoa, this product has received some pretty outstanding reviews. I’m looking forward to meeting my fuller lashes and brows in a few weeks time!”

“After a very hot and salty summer holiday, my locks really needed some TLC! Beauté Pacifique’s Hydrating Hair Mask was a no-fuss, easy product to use with minimal process time. I found after just two uses that my hair had another chance at life and it didn’t overdo the hydration to the point of being oily or heavy. I will be using this mask regularly in my routine for the next few weeks of summer.”
