Check out www.pixibeauty.co.uk YOU’RE A WONDER! Dry scalp is caused by a lack of hydration, it can be the result of something as simple as skipping conditioner, overwashing, taking hot showers or using harsh ingredients. You can even experience scalp dryness and irritation from hair dye and product build-up. It could even be caused by skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis. It’s important to create a healthy scalp environment for hair to grow, so teat yours to the gentle exfoliating scrub benefits of Wonderbalm (£29). This product caters to a broad variety of face, body and beauty needs, enriching skin with vitamins and antioxidants. To use on the scalp, simply take a grape-sized amount and exfoliate into damp hair before using shampoo and conditioner. This will help remove any dirt and remaining debris from products such as hairspray.

When Dr. Jeanne Retief was diagnosed with panic disorder, skin sensitivity soon followed as a significant symptom. She recognised the need for a holistic approach to anxious skin and created Figgi Beauty to address the external effects of anxiety. Organic South African Rooibos extract, known to soothe and calm, is the hero ingredient of Figgi Beauty’s line and is truly nature’s gift to sensitive skin. The brand is designed for those who understand the deep connection between soul, mind and skin health. It’s a sanctuary for the sensitive and a testament to conscious beauty.

It’s the perfect complement to the trend in cool-toned eyeshadows with a luminous base.

Check out www.clarins.co.uk TRIED AND TESTED Best-selling Korean skincare brand, Erborian, has started off 2025 strong, maintaining its position as number one brand in the BB + CC category. The fan-favourite BB Cream (£42) is so popular that one is sold every 28 seconds worldwide. With some of its fans counted among the editorial team here at CWM I was not up for being left behind, so I decided to put it to the test. Half skincare, half make-up, I was delighted by the wonderfully light texture, which evened out my skin tone beautifully and even covered a troublesome blemish. For me, the best news was that it doesn’t leave that awful greasy feeling I’ve found with so many other BB creams, it just leaves a wonderful, smooth velvety finish. Formulated with Erborian’s white ginseng complex, it cares for skin every day and contains SPF20 to help protect against sun damage. I can see why it’s number one. Available at Boots, Look Fantastic and SpaceNK. NAMASTE Part of Rituals’ latest line, The Ritual of Namaste, I love the Anti-Ageing Lightweight Moisturiser (£47.90). It’s a fast-absorbing daily moisturiser with all the benefits you may already know and love from Rituals’ Anti-Ageing Day Cream, now in a gloriously lightweight formula. It reduces the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots while improving firmness and boosting your skin’s radiance. Crafted with bakuchiol, the plant-based alternative to retinol, it revitalises your complexion for a more youthful tone and consists of 95 per cent natural origin ingredients. Available at www.rituals.com/en-gb and in selected Rituals stores. BEAUTY NEWS 67
