A dream for those with combination skin. Temple Spa Moisture To Go Balancing Moisturiser is £36 from templespa.com All the latest beauty must-haves for the bride-to-be COMING UP ROSES I absolutely love this Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm from Elemis. A powerful cleanser, it easily dissolves make-up, daily grime and pollutants for a soft and glowing complexion. With the aid of the accompanying luxury cleansing cloth it left my skin feeling completely clean and refreshed, without the sensation of tight dryness you sometimes get with standard cleansers. Not to mention the wonderful scent of 17 varieties of hand-harvested roses, sourced from a small family-owned farm situated deep in the English countryside. See elemis.com for more information. Priced at £43. Spring into action We’re putting the winter blues firmly behind us here at County Weddings HQ and starting to feel a spring in our step!

It didn’t leave an oily residue as you may expect but absorbed quickly into the skin leaving it feeling soft, supple and refreshed, with a wonderful fragrance of chia seed and sea buckthorn to calm the senses. Named by the Good Housekeeping Institute as its best facial oil for 2018, this little gem is perfect for sensitive, easily inflamed or skin that’s generally out of kilter. Available from angelalangford.com , priced at £20.50 for 15ml. Brush it up This palm-sized face cleanser brush delivers deep yet gentle facial scrubbing with innovative T-Sonic technology. The ergonomic three-zone brush is designed for all skin types. It couldn’t be easier, just dampen your face and apply your favourite cleanser. Wet the brush, turn it on and glide it across the skin in circular motions. All it takes is one minute twice a day for a fresh, clear and even-looking complexion.
