Our round-up of the latest skin saviours

Sugar stick

Now here’s a sweet solution to dry flaky lips. Karen Murrell’s new Lip Scrub, $32, contains sugar particles that gently remove dry skin. It also tastes delicious and is easy to apply.

Take me back there

We’ve written about Evolu’s Active Age-Defence Protective Day Cream SPF30, $60, before but we love it so much we’re shouting out about it again. This gorgeous day cream contains clear zinc and provides natural defence for the skin with a weightless texture. And it smells so good thanks to the botanical fragrance. The first time we used it was last summer so every time we now apply it, the scent also takes us back to those wonderful holiday days.

Supernatural skincare

Emma Lewisham has released a Supernatural Triple Vitamin A+ Face Oil, $137, that contains three concentrated sources of vitamin A including bakuchiol, which has been scientifically proven to be as efficacious as synthetic forms of retinol in building cell walls and plumping the skin.

Multi-tasker

Weleda has added to its bestselling Skin Food menu with Weleda Skin Food Light, $22.90. This new, lighter formula is great for soothing dry skin and doubles as a make-up primer. Its gorgeous ingredients include organic rosemary leaf extract, organic chamomile extract and organic calendula extract, which also acts as an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic.

Ahhh… and inhale!

Now here is a lovely idea that makes for a beautiful gift too. Ahhh…’s new Shower Steamers, $5, are essentially bath bombs for the shower. They fizz away on the shower floor, releasing beautiful essential oils into the steam for a spa-like shower experience.

Regenerating elixir

Linden Leaves new Regenerating Elixir, $60, is absolutely gorgeous to use as well as being a skin saviour. It can be used as a serum layer or added to Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil and Essential Facial Moisturiser for an extra boost. We love how it hydrates the skin while also helping protect the skin from environmental damage.
