From amazing anti-agers to sublime shower products, Savoir Flair rounds up the five best new beauty products to meet all your pampering needs.
The SPF
Rituals has created just that – the ultimate beach beauty ritual. The new ‘Ritual of Karma’ collection boasts the floral-sweet scent of holy lotus and features face protectors, milky body sprays, and even a luxurious SPF 30 body oil. They not only protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays, but are also loaded with body-boosting ingredients like organic white tea, vitamin E, and ginkgo biloba to nourish and soften. It doesn’t hurt that these sun saviors are pretty to look at; they’ll look perfect on your Insta-feed when snapped against the sand.
The Anti-Ager
Murad’s amazing new anti-aging serum is the ultimate way to help turn back time. Packed full of powerful natural ingredients (including swertia flower extract from the Himalayas that aids cell regeneration), it uses Retinol Tri-Active Technology to visibly minimize the appearance of lines and deep wrinkles – so much so that 93 percent of testers saw a visible reduction of aging signs in just two weeks!
“Retinol is well-known as the gold standard anti-aging ingredient; that’s why my patients ask for it frequently,” explains Dr. Howard Murad. “However, I saw a significant need for a new product that worked more quickly and didn’t cause irritation and dryness. After years of research and development, I’m proud to say we have finally perfected the science of retinol with this revolutionary serum.”
The Eye Cream
It’s official: Sephora now stocks Origins, and we are very excited about it. Using Mother Nature’s finest, the brand’s perfecting products are packed with aromatic essential oils and botanical extracts to look after you and your skin. For the ultimate way to wake up those peepers and look refreshed – even if you don’t feel it – the new ‘GinZing Eye Cream’ is just the ticket. It’s carefully formulated with coffee beans, magnolia extract, and panax ginseng. The caffeine within works to reduce puffiness and tackle those dreaded dark circles, whilst natural optic brighteners refresh and restore to leave you looking bright-eyed and beautiful.
The Beauty Balm
Heat, humidity, stale airplane air, and air-conditioning got your skin feeling (and looking) down? Don’t fear as Guerlain’s new multi-purpose ‘Black Bee Honey Balm’ is here to the rescue. A highly concentrated blend of Ouessant black-bee honey, known for its purity and repairing properties, its targeted action goes deep down into skin to reinforce its barrier.
Tested under the most extreme conditions imaginable, the balm has been formulated to nourish, repair, hydrate, and protect even the driest and roughest of skins. And it can be used as just about anything, be it as an overnight skin treatment or a quick fix for dry hands and elbows – perfect to pop into your bag and take on your travels.
The Bathing Boosters
Whether you’re after a good old relaxing soak in the tub or an invigorating shower to start your day, Diptyque’s beautiful new bathing collection is where it’s at. Famed for its rich history of scent and always reinventing it, the brand’s ‘Fragrance Gestures’ collection is a creative and unique approach to making the invisible real.
Iconic scents like ‘Eau Rose’ and ‘Philosykos’ are now available in a new fragrance expression: bathing boosters. From sumptuous shower oils to decadent body balms and heavenly lotions, you can literally immerse yourself in a stunning scent from top to toe. Plus, in true Diptyque fashion, the packaging will look gorgeous in your bathroom. Bonus.
