Celebs’ DIY beauty essentials
Many factors – including stress, excessive screentime and lack of sleep – can leave you looking tired. Update your routine with these refreshing buys and you’ll perk up your peepers in no time
COOLING CREAM
This new, instantly soothing gel is infused with cucumber and witch hazel, making it a treat for anyone in need of an early-morning refresh or a pick-me-up for frazzled peepers after a day in front of the laptop. The silky texture is worth every penny, as a pea-sized amount calms puffy lids and hydrates and reduces fine lines, while giving skin a well-rested glow.
BRIGHTENING GEL
The ceramic applicator on this lightweight gel makes it feel extra gentle to apply, while the vitamin C and aloe vera-infused formula is a hero combination when it comes to smoothing and brightening sallow-looking under-eye area. It absorbs super quickly, livening up tired eyes and leaving skin with a gentle sheen pre-makeup.
REJUVENATING ROLLER
The flat end of this tool scoops out product while avoiding any bacteria being transferred into the pot from your fingernails. Once applied, the rollerball tip can be gently swiped around the eyes to massage, and help creams and serums absorb, while boosting circulation and calming puffiness. You’ll feel like you’ve had a fancy facial without leaving the house!
ANTI-AGEING FORMULA
If crow’s feet and heavier lids are starting to appear, this hardworking serum is your answer. Using amino acids and firming ingredients, this one mimics the effects of Botox – minus the needles! It’ll plump up and firm delicate skin to look fresher after just a couple of uses. A tiny amount goes a long way, so a bottle will last you for months!
NOURISHING MASK
Tissue masks have long been popular, as a high concentration of goodies gets straight to skin with minimal mess. This one focuses on eyes , with hyaluronic acid hydrating and nourishing delicate skin. Working in just 15 minutes, this gives you the perfect excuse for some screen-free relaxation before bed. Pop in the fridge before for an extra cool treat!
