Superstar Skincare

1. Keep Calm

Treat yourself to a soothing aromatherapy moment in the shower with this new body scrub from UK brand I Love Wellness. The scent is comprised of lemongrass, rosemary, orange and eucalyptus, and the formula is made with sea salt and coconut oil, which work to exfoliate and moisturize skin.

I LOVE WELLNESS De-Stress Body Scrub, $17, at Shoppers Drug Mart.

2. Must-Have Moisturizer

As part of Dove’s new Body Love collection, this rich, creamy body lotion provides up to 24 hours of hydration for dry winter skin. The non-greasy formula absorbs fast and is dermatologistapproved for all skin types. Plus, the warm vanilla scent is perfect for some winter self-care.

DOVE Body Love Pampering Care Lotion, $9, at mass drugstores and grocery retailers.

3. Zit Eraser

Dealing with a breakout? This peel exfoliates, resurfaces and brightens with two per cent BHA (salicylic acid) and 10 per cent AHAs (lactic and Mandelic acids). Use it to take on acne and give skin a smoother texture while helping to reduce the appearance of post-breakout marks.

4. Take the Day Of

Inspired by conditioning washes for hair, this multitasker cleanses and conditions so that there’s no need to double cleanse your face. The formula has a balm-like texture that removes makeup, sunscreen, dirt, sweat and oil without stripping the skin, and it supports the acid mantle by maintaining ideal pH and oil levels.

U BEAUTY The Mantle Skin Conditioning Wash, $78, at UBeauty.com, Holt Renfrew and SSENSE.

5. Sensitive Superhero

Formulated with plantbased oils like sunflower and jojoba, this unscented, 100 per cent natural cleanser dissolves makeup (even waterproof mascara), SPF and excess sebum while supporting the skin barrier and reducing redness. Upon contact with water, the oil transforms into a milky texture that rinses off clean without leaving any residue behind.

6. Lighten Up

Take on three of the most common signs of early aging and improve your complexion over time with this new daily brightening serum. The fast-absorbing formula, infused with vitamin C, helps to visibly even skin tone while reducing the appearance of enlarged pores and fne lines.

7. Tea Time

This new formula is Fresh’s biggest launch ever, with 15 years of research behind it. The serum is made with a powerful tea sourced from Mauritius, along with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, ceramides and ocean kelp to refne the look of pores while deeply hydrating, strengthening the skin barrier and improving overall texture.
