Consuming too much sugar can have adverse effects on our skin, from breakouts to accelerated ageing. Nivea’s smart new serum is here to help. Q10 Dual Action Glycation Serum, £16.99, above, contains an ingredient that blocks 68% of glycation, which is when sugar molecules weigh down the skin’s collagen and elastic fibres – so it helps to prevent wrinkles and sagging caused by too much of the sweet stuff.
Our first real sign that summer is on the way? When the new
Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, below right, hits the shelves. This year’s limited-edition eau de parfum is called
Flora Verde, and is inspired by colourful Rio de Janeiro. Bronze Goddess’ iconic musk base notes have Brazilian gardenia and coconut water added to them for a fresh, vibrant scent. It’s £70 for a 50ml bottle.
Easing into fake tan for the first time this year? Isle Of Paradise’s new Daily Self-Tan Lotion, £9.99, left, doesn’t just boost your skin’s colour but also its condition too. Approved by dermatologists, this lightweight lotion contains skincare heroes niacinamide, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, as smoother skin means a smoother tan. Find it in light/medium and medium/dark shades.
