Is that spring we see on the horizon? Blue skies, blossoming flowers and lighter evenings are just around the corner and it’s the perfect time for a spring clean.
Here’s our rundown of the best Spring buys to help you get ready for the brighter days ahead.
Cleanse
Start your spring beauty routine with an adaptogen-rich cleansing balm from Tea & Tonic. Made with British meadow flower & seed oils and fortified with Tea & Tonic’s adaptogen super herb complex, The Meadow’s Secret Cleansing Balm (£29/50ml) is blended in small batches for optimal freshness & potency. It’s a cult beauty favourite for dissolving makeup, excess oil & impurities whilst beautifully softening & promoting a supple, dewy-fresh, radiant complexion.
Exfoliate
Tackle dull, lacklustre skin with the Age Defy+ AHA Radiance Peel Mask (£38/30ml). Used twice a week, this gentle exfoliating mask smooths the skin surface to restore your natural glow. Natural AHAs from five different sources including Bilberry and Maple Sugar promote cell renewal while replenishing Aloe Vera safeguards the skin from irritation. The result? A luxurious spa-level treat in the comfort of your home, that reveals irresistibly velvet-soft skin.
For the body, try Tea & Tonic’s Bright Awakening Halen Môn Body Scrub (£39/200ml) a unique blend of Halen Môn Salt, hand-harvested from the queen’s coastline using pure charcoal-filtered seawater of Anglesey. This luxurious salt scrub is made with optimal freshness & potency and designed to awaken, brighten and revitalise. As the salts soften & tone, when rinsed away, the enriched plant oils continue to hydrate & smooth without the need for further moisturising.
Brighten
Treat dry, post-winter skin to a nourishing boost with Green People’s Beauty Boost Skin Restore (£25/50ml). Designed to plump and recharge the skin, this luxury at-home facial treatment will instantly restore brightness and banish dullness. Formulated with 91.7% certified organic ingredients, this rejuvenating skin booster proves that natural skincare can still pack a punch. Green Marine Macro Algae increases hydration in the upper and middle layers of the skin, while antioxidant-rich Everlasting Flower neutralizes free radicals that cause premature ageing. Wakame boosts cellular energy and stimulates collagen formulation leaving skin beautifully firm and flexible.
During the winter months, we find ourselves reaching for heavier serums and moisturisers to combat skin drying. Come spring, our complexions can rely on a lighter formulation to plump and nurture. The Age Defy+ Collagen Boost Vitamin C Serum (£42/30ml) is lightweight and rich in slow-release vitamin C to support collagen production. Follow up with the Age Defy Brightening Moisturiser (£40/30ml) which delivers intense skin hydration with a lightweight feel. Pineapple enzymes gently ease excess pigment to lighten skin while Beed Bud increases cell turnover to refine the skin tone.
Protect
Facial sun protection should be a part of your daily skin routine, even when the sun’s not shining; 80% of UV rays can still penetrate through clouds. Green People’s Scent Free Facial Sun Cream SPF30 (£25.50/ 50ml) not only delivers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB defence, but it also harnesses the benefits of powerful antioxidants, offering unique skin protection benefits. It protects and maintains collagen, promotes skin regeneration and reduces sagging and wrinkles.
Glow
Grey winter days left you longing for a sunkissed glow this spring? Recreate it with the Age Defy+ Liquid Gold Tanning Drops (£36/30ml). Formulated with 85% certified organic ingredients, these skin-tanning serum drops work to customise tan intensity and achieve a natural golden glow. Simply add more or fewer drops depending on your desired glow level. Mix 1-5 drops with any facial moisturisers or 6-10 drops with any body lotion, and a beautiful non-streaky tan will develop over the next 12-24 hours (and last up to 5 days). Containing the skin-compatible tanning agents Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and Erythrylose, it also contains seaweed and green tea to promote younger skin and protect against free radical damage.
Uplift
Discover Tea & Tonic’s super herb teas based on the most loved British tea drinks; each supercharged with adaptogens with matching skincare heroes for optimal results. Created by tea connoisseurs for incredible taste and performance, all teas are blended and packed in the UK using 100% biodegradable, compostable or recyclable materials. For an energising brew that aids digestion and circulation, the White Mint High Spirits Wellness Tea (£16/28 pyramid bags) offers a clean, fresh flavour profile with delicate floral tones.
Energise and uplift with the Tea & Tonic High Spirits Body Oil (£39/100ml). This award-winning dry body oil will hydrate and nourish your skin while revitalising mind, body and soul. Enriched with Vitamin C & E, Omega Fatty Acids, Phytosterols & Antioxidants, it leaves skin feeling beautifully smooth and soft.
