Beauty buzz

Skin and bodycare products that we’re buzzing about.

Happy armpits

Ethique (French for ethical) has added a new Glow Solid Deodorant, $24, to its cruelty-free and certified B Corp range. It’s formulated with a mix of aloe vera, bamboo and yeast, horsetail and sage extract. The yeast extract is a deodorising compound that targets specific bacteria which cause odour and eliminate them whilst still allowing beneficial bacteria to flourish.

So peachy

Lie back and relax in a bath filled with beautifully scented foaming bubbles. Linden Leaves bubble bath, $35, Ginseng and Orange Blossom, and Ginger Peach are just the tonic when a home spa pampering session is required.

Creamy and gentle

Natural Instinct’s Replenishing Cream Cleanser, $11, is a divine concoction enriched with rosehip oil, kakadu plum and ylang ylang which gently cleanses the skin while hydrating it at the same time! Enjoy the ritual of massaging it into your skin before washing off with water or a warm face cloth.

Protect, hydrate and nourish

Savar’s super-hydrating and fast-absorbing Nourishing Body Lotion, $49, has a new fragrance and packaging. Enriched with New Zealand primrose oil, organic fig and passionflower, this gorgeous body lotion will leave skin feeling soft, nourished and hydrated.

Say hello to brighter skin

Antipodes Manuka Honey Skin-Brightening Light Day Cream, $69, is a best-seller for a reason. The Manuka honey Active 20+ helps address skin blemishes while Vinanza grape and peony helps brighten skin naturally. It also contains bee venom and mamaku black fern, which has a gentle lifting effect.

Calming moisture boost

Trilogy’s new Very Gentle Hydra-Mask, $49, provides a serious hydration boost for sensitive skin. All skin types will love this but it’s particularly suited for skin that’s easily irritated thanks to a calming botanical complex SyriCalm, which helps reduce redness and inflammation.
