What’s got the YOU team all abuzz?

AVEENO SKIN RELIEF MOISTURISING LOTION €6.99, boots.ie

I’ve been a fan ever since a friend who has the softest skin told me she uses this to moisturise her body. Affordable, it soaks in super-fast, nourishes and calms. My skin still feels hydrated by the end of the day. Alice

UKLASH EYELASH SERUM €43.30, uklash.com

Although I’d heard good things, I tried this product not expecting to see a difference. However, after a few weeks my eyelashes had rocketed in length so much that they started brushing my glasses when I blinked. I also had about 30 people – from colleagues to shop assistants – ask me what mascara I use because my eyelashes look so long. AR

K18 LEAVE-IN MOLECULAR REPAIR HAIR MASK from €30, k18hair.ie

I’d been told this was great but when I tried it my hair felt just as scraggly as usual. Turns out I was using it all wrong. Now, after shampooing, I skip conditioner when using the mask. The result? My fine hair feels thick and looks healthy. And it not only improves appearance – it repairs hair at a molecular level: win-win. AR

BRUSHD COPPER TONGUE SCRAPER €4.55, brushd.co.uk

Not the sexiest of items, but a real game-changer. We all (hopefully) know we should brush our tongues to help minimise bacteria and bad breath, but this tool does the job far more efficiently and, to make the experience feel luxe, it comes in shiny copper. AR

IONICELL FOR WOMEN CAPSULES €26, victoriahealth.com

How do your nails grow? Badly? Same. Left to their own devices, they look like my mother’s always did – ridged, split, thin. Except when I can be bothered to take two capsules of Ionicell every day. It’s a commitment but the combination of calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium, to name just four of its 25 ingredients, is like Baby Bio for your fingers. Time to buy spring’s hit nail colour – silver. Jackie

ORTOREX FACIAL MASSAGER DOUBLE CHIN FACE SHAPER €59, ortorex.com

When my friend bought this jowl contraption (her words) from an online ad, I rolled my eyes. Then, two weeks later, she told me: ‘It works – I can totally see a difference in my jawline!’ To get results you attach it under your chin for 20 minutes a day so its microcurrents can tighten the muscles and lift the skin. While its results won’t be as dramatic as a facelift, it’s far less painful and costly – though you may well look ridiculous while wearing it. Lindsay Frankel

NIVEA CELLULAR LUMINOUS ANTI DARK-SPOT RANGE from €17.49, boots.ie

My mum had really dark patches on her face (sun damage, the menopause) and tried everything to reduce them. Then she heard about Nivea’s Cellular Luminous anti dark-spot range and, just a few months after she bought it, the treatment has transformed her. Kanika

PURITO B5 PANTHENOL RE-BARRIER CREAM €26.95, lookfantastic.ie

I recently came across skincare influencer Natalie O’Neill’s TikTok account (@natalie_oneillll). Her skin, like mine, is prone to clogging, so when she suggested this as a night moisturiser, I had to try it. I love Korean brands for the ingredients, and this cream is no exception, with panthenol to lock in moisture, plus niacinamide and squalane. It’s free from fragrances and essential oils, which irritate my skin. I also love its eco-friendly tube. Charlotte
