SKINSULATION STRATEGY Beauty essentials you need this season Hands up whose skin and hair is looking all dewy-fresh and juicy-plump right now? No one. That’s who. It’s officially the time when our complexions need a little TLC – especially if, like us, you’ve been overindulging in curling up by the fire with a glass of red wine. From cream cleansers and sleeping masks to scalp scrubs and leave-in conditioners, when our skin is lacklustre or our hair is dry and brittle, these are the products we swear by to help get our beauty routines back on track.
EDITOR’S PICK:
KEVIN MURPHY SCALP. SPA SCRUB AND SCALP. SPA WASH Prepare to fall back in love with wash day again with Kevin Murphy’s brandnew SCALP.SPA SCRUB and SCALP.SPA WASH. Designed to clean your hair and calm your scalp, tackling hair issues right from the root, these satisfying scalp heroes score more than just pampering points. If you’re looking for something extra-thorough to gently sweep away impurities from your scalp and hair follicle, the scrub has to be the most satisfying option. Come for the mint green and recyclable packaging, stay for the ethically sourced and eco-certified ingredients as well as the seriously deep clean that this scrub delivers. Dense, grainy and deliciously scented, the gritty bits are actually perlite, a type of volcanic rock (there they go again with the sustainability). Because it’s so effective, we recommend saving this for a once-weekly indulgence. The wash, on the other hand, is key to true shower (or bath) nirvana. Deeply nourishing, this shampoo made with micellar water, celery seed extract, rose water and coconut oil is designed to relieve intensely dry, flaking scalps. It’s so gentle that those with a sensitive scalp will love it for its hydrating and clarifying properties. Plus, it smells like heaven right out of a bottle! In our opinion, your scalp deserves to be treated with at least a fraction of the love you show your complexion (be honest – how many serums and moisturisers are on your shelf?). Not only does a happy scalp lead to healthy hair that behaves well and looks glossy, it also encourages hair to grow at its optimal rate.
