Our Top 10 Skin & Self-Care Essentials
For the SPF obsessed

SPF is a must all year round thanks to UV rays always being present, no matter if it's cold and wet outside. This Thank You Farmer Sun Project Shimmer Sun Essence Sunscreen SPF30 PA++ has Christmas parties written all over it (not literally), working to hydrate, smooth and protect your skin with a glowing, pearlescent finish. Apply as the last step in your skincare routine before makeup - it also doubles as an excellent primer.
For the skincare aficionadoĀ
Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
With 30 years of research to its name, theĀ Augustinus Bader The Rich CreamĀ is an essential for dry, sensitive or mature skin types. Its star ingredient is TCF8, the brandās proprietary blend that helps to soothe, smooth and deeply hydrate for a revived, healthy complexion. It also stars a mix of nourishing oils (argan, avocado and evening primrose) to lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and soften skin texture.Ā
For the lip balm lover
Irene Forte Skincare Pistachio Lip Balm
For the scalp scrub seeker
Monpure Clarifying Scalp Scrub
Scalp health was one of the most talked-about frontiers in beauty this year, as a healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair. We're adding the Monpure Clarifying Scalp Scrub to our basket, which uses biodegradable jojoba beads to gently exfoliate away product buildup, excess oil and flakiness, revealing a healthier, more comfortable scalp.Ā
One reviewer, Phoebe said, "You don't need to use much product and it feels great. The scrub washes out nicely and does exactly what it says, helping me to go longer between washes after removing excess oils."
For the shiny strands enthusiast
FUL Shine Set
Who doesnāt want super shiny hair for the festive season? Enter the FUL Shine Set, which stars the FUL All Rounder Shampoo, FUL All Rounder Conditioner and FUL Gloss & Shine Cream.Ā Loved by salon professionals for their soft, sleek and silky results, these hydrating formulas work to reduce frizz and flyaways, prevent split ends from occurring and nourish and hydrate your locks - all whilst enveloping them in a scent of vanilla, sandalwood and cedarwood.

It's formulated with 100% natural fragrance, (and it's a 95% natural product overall) with nourishing pumpkin seed oil and chia seed oil to deliver silky smooth limbs. As for the scent?
