Your Sussex Wedding - October/November 2020 (Issue 87)

Beauty Beauty editor Kelly Andrews shares her latest beauty must-haves for the bride-to-be BE KIND If your hair is in need of some TLC after weeks of lockdown, check out Earthkind’s shampoo bars. Made for everyday use, they’re designed to protect the health of your hair and scalp, as well as the planet, using only natural, sustainable, vegan ingredients. They’re plastic-free and made in the UK in a range of gorgeous fragrances, including bergamot and sage, tea tree and eucalyptus, and citrus leaf. Available at www.hollandandbarrett.com, priced at £6.99 BUZZ SWEET ENOUGH No Secrets Bath Sugar is a modern twist on traditional bath salts. But, unlike salts, which take an eternity to dissolve and leave behind an uncomfortable gritty residue, bath sugar is ground to a much finer consistency. They’re also a safer alternative to toxic bath bombs made from bicarbonate of soda and citric acid, both of which strip the skin. The natural Bath Sugar contains magnesium sulphate, a mineral that’s essential to the body, since without it muscles physically can’t relax. It’s absorbed through the skin as you bathe, leading to a seriously soothing experience that won’t disappear with the bath water. Priced at £30, it’s available from www.nosecretsbeauty.com First-kiss ready Dr PawPaw’s K-beauty inspired two-in-one Scrub & Nourish duo pot (£8.95) is the multi-award winning product that retailers can’t keep in stock! The moreish lip scrub is infused with a fruity mango and coconut fragrance, and the lip balm is the brand’s iconic original formula containing papaya, aloe vera and olive oil to sooth, nourish and hydrate.
