Audrey’s Top Six Essentials!
You’ll feel fresh and beautifully moisturised with these lovely products filled with coconut, oats and aloe vera
1. BUDGET BUY Spray-on moisturisers are quick and easy to use, so no excuse to skimp on skincare! Lacura Spray On Moisturiser £1.99, Aldi moisturises well, absorbs instantly without greasiness and the three fragrances (Oat, Cocoa, Aloe Vera) are fairly subtle. Generous size, simple twist-top – a real bargain. 2. COSMETIC CRUSH With velvety textures and intense pigments, e.l.f. (eyes, lips, face) Cosmetics from £3, Superdrug are real value. Go “barely there” in Face Flawless Finish Foundation with SPF15 £7.50, Beautifully Bare Lipstick in Touch of Nude, £6 and the lovely Nude Rose Gold Eyeshadow Palette, £12.50. 3. FRESH AND FRUITY Dove Go Fresh Deodorant from £2.99 is exactly that, delivering a burst of fruity freshness that feels cold on contact and will keep you cool and comfortable all day. The moisturising formula comes in four fragrances: Cucumber & Green Tea, Grapefruit, Pomegranate and my own favourite, Pear & Aloe Vera.
4. GO NUTS Blow drying and straighteners can cause brittle, broken hair. Avoid damage with Lee Stafford CoCo LoCo CoConut HeAT PrOTEcTION MisT £5.99, Boots, enriched with moisturising coconut oil. It takes seconds to spritz on before styling. Lovely tropical scent, no stickiness and a lightweight formula.
5. GET PERSONAL Vaseline’s Lip Therapy Tin, £2.99 is handy for soothing lips, taming stray brows, smoothing split ends and moisturising rough skin (great for knees and elbows). Marilyn Monroe apparently even used it as a night cream! Go to PERSONALISED-TIN. VASELINE.CO.UK and create your own personalised tin (p&p £1.49). 6. MOISTURE BOOSTER Oats are so nourishing for mature skin (Jennifer Aniston is a fan) and Aveeno® Daily Moisturising Body Wash £7.82, Boots with oatmeal and vitamin-rich yogurt is rich and pampering. The soap-free formula froths gently, cleanses well and won’t dry skin. In Vanilla & Oat or Apricot & Honey.
