NUXE addicts – so many of us – will be jumping for Spring joy this month … brand new on the beauty counters is this NUXE Reve de the Revitalising Moisturising Milk (R495) and NUXE Floral Parfum (R910). Can. Not. Wait. Available in select Woolworths, Truworths & Foschini stores.

Micellar water hits the ‘must have’ beauty button every time. This one, Sébium H20 (R254) from Bioderma (a hot fave), is perfect for combination and oily skin. Non-rinse, cleansing, soothing … triple reasons to use one. For a deeper cleanse and to unclog pores, the Sébium Exfoliating Purifying Gel (R189) is the bomb. Available at Dis-Chem.

From Team Dr Josef, TDJ Intensive Moisturising Mask (R525) … exactly what it says it is … an intensively moisturising cream mask with natural hyaluronic acid and active ingredients for softer and smoother skin. Use it once or twice a week and see the results. We also fancy the TDJ Neroli Flower Toner (R420), a revitalising and refreshing facial mist for demanding skin. When you’re hot and bothered, just gently spray over your face for a revitalising, uplifting boost. It’s lovely for mature, dry, dull skin and you can use it as often as you need to.

A fresh fragrance uniting an invigorating aquatic strength with the aromatic elegance of Cypress, inspired by raw nature of Pantelleria. If that doesn’t sound like Spring, nothing will. The remote Mediterranean island of Pantelleria, which lies between Italy and Africa, has long inspired Giorgio Armani. It is a piece of paradise on earth and offers a respite from the hurried pace of everyday life. Cyprès Pantelleria evokes the essence of the island, fusing the fresh scent of cypress trees and seafoam. It’s zesty and soothing, fresh and warm … and it’ll be on the fragrance shelves later this month. Find it for R3200, exclusively at Edgars.

When your skin’s as tired and stressed as you are, nothing works like a warm shower, a great exfoliant and a firming body lotion.

Excellent for mature, stressed skin. Buy online from futurethis.co.za
