Whether your sport is swimming or you’re happier lying beside the pool on a lounger, this month we’re all about hydration, along with radiance and a healthy glow.

We’re such fans of Laboratoire NUXE, and this Super Serum with natural hyaluronic acid is infused with thousands of micro-spheres of fractionated botanical oils, which stimulates the skin’s youth mechanisms for extraordinary anti-ageing effectiveness. R1345 from Woolworths, Truworths & Foschini. • You want shimmer. Oh boy … does NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Shimmer Multi-Use Dry Oil – Golden Shimmer deliver. This sensational, sensorial dry oil has tiny shimmering mineral particles. It nourishes, leaves a satin finish and illuminates skin and hair. You’d imagine it’d be greasy, but it’s not at all, and a bonus is the fragrance. Top shimmer product ever! R455 from Woolies, Truworths & Foschini.

Filorga Lift-Structure Radiance Ultra-lifting Rosy-glow Fluid is a new addition to the Lift-Structure range and is our can’t-live-without beauty fix. Like the other products in the range, it tightens features, plumps the skin and sculpts volume, and also has the added benefit of skin radiance and evenness. Crammed with good products (think collagen and hyaluronic acid), it’s perfect for those of us who are on the plus side of 40, and who want to simultaneously treat lack of firmness and loss of radiance and evenness. Used as a day cream, it gives a universal pink healthy glow texture that suits all skin tones. Gorgeous. R895. For a full list of stockists, visit filorgasouthafrica.co.za

We’re all for multi-use products, and this new Eau Thermale Avéne Hydrance Aqua-Gel is a 3-in-1 hydrating product that can be used as a daily moisturiser, sleeping mask and eye cream. The fresh aqua-gel texture is really lovely to use, and the product rehydrates and fortifies the skin barrier to prevent water loss, restores the skin’s water reservoirs and suppleness, boosts radiance and has powerful antioxidant protection against free radicals.
