NEW HAIR HERO
You’ve seen sheet masks for the face, now here’s one for your hair. Redken
All Soft Mega Recovery Sheet Mask, £12 (one sachet), fits over your head like a shower cap and has an adhesive strip so it won’t move around. Pop it on after shampooing, massage for a moment and then leave for 10 minutes before rinsing out for softer, silkier hair.
STEP CHANGE
If there’s room in your haircare routine for an extra step, try a pre-shampoo treatment – these promise to hydrate dry locks and improve the efficacy of your regular shampoo and conditioner. Use overnight as an intensive treatment or apply just before shampooing.
TRY L’oréal Botanicals Fresh Care Lavender Soothing Concoction Pre-shampoo Oil, £9.99, once a week.
MULTIPURPOSE MAKE-UP MISTS
The new take on face mists could leave some of your make-up bag essentials out in the cold. Use instead of primer to prep your skin for foundation, instead of powder to set your make-up, and instead of whatever you use for a quick reboot when you’re out and about – a quick spray will refresh whatever you’re wearing to give your look a new lease of life. TRY Revlon Photoready Prep, Set, Refresh Mist, £7.99, or Models Own One Night Stand 2-in-1 Prime & Set Spray, £7.99.
BROWSE FOR BROWS
