2. No7 HydraLuminous Concealer
Struggle with dark circles and tired-looking eyes? Aren't we all.
However, I cannot recommend the new No7 HydraLuminous Concealer enough – it covered dark circles perfectly and made my entire complexion look more awake and dewy – like I had slept my full eight hours, which I most definitively had not!

3. Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel
I bet if you look for it, you probably have a container of Bio-Oil somewhere in your bathroom. I know I do. There is a reason Bio-Oil is the world’s best-selling scar and stretch mark oil. Because it works – simple as.
And now, for the first time in 30 years, the makers behind the iconic oil have launched a new product – Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel, which is specifically created to tackle dry, dehydrated skin, and my elbows and heels are crying out for this right now.
Traditional creams and lotions aimed at tackling dry skin are mostly made from water, with some containing up to 70 percent. This high water content is of little benefit to dry skin as water evaporates when it comes into contact with skin. However, the experts at Bio-Oil have pioneered a way to replace this in-active water with oil, making for a product that’s 100 percent active and packed full of highly effective, actively moisturising ingredients.
Even better? The new Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel contains no preservatives, is dermatologically tested, hypo-allergenic, non-comedogenic (it doesn’t block pores) and is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin in adults and children over three years.

4. Avène Tolérance Extrême Mask
Eau Thermal Avène is another one of those iconic French skincare brands that will forever remain part of my beauty and skincare regime. And the brand new Tolérance Extrême range is just proof at how Avène just keep doing wha they really do best – create amazing skincare products that work – at a price we can afford.
I recently tested the new Eau Thermal Avène Tolérance Extrême Mask, and guys – if your skin is looking in any way dry or dull after winter, go treat yourself to this mask – and you'll see a difference after just using it once, I promise.
I love how the Tolérance range, which is suitable for all levels of skin sensitivity and ideal for calming and detoxifying the skin, has the minimum number of essential ingredients mirroring the natural composition of the skin. It is also free from preservatives, parabens, fragrance and alcohol, and comes complete with a unique cap function hat prevents air, microbes and other contaminants from entering the tube, thus the contents of the tube are kept sterile throughout use. The products are also manufactured in a sterile environment without preservatives.
