When the temperatures rise, you need to change to lightweight products. This QMS Active Glow Tinted Day Cream is a sheer, colour adaptive cream, with SPF15 and vitamins. It helps to blur imperfections, revealing glowing, even skin. It’s an ideal day cream for Summer. R885 from futurethis.co.za

Organic skincare. Without water. The Nuxe Bio Organic skincare range has taken its green revolution to the next level with the launch of five new essential skincare products. With an environmentally friendly approach to formulation, they are reducing the use of water to preserve this resource. The Cleansing Oil and Balm Deodorants are formulated without a single drop of water and the ultra-rich soaps have a solid format incorporating very little water. There’s a Botanical Cleansing Oil (a make-up removing oil and a shower oil, R675), the Balm Deodorant (applied with fingertips to the armpits, feels like cream and gives 24 hour deo effectiveness, R335), and Ultra Rich Solid Soap Cream (solid soaps for face and body, with invigorating and gentle options, R215). As you’d expect, all packaging is sourced from responsibly managed forests, and is 100 per cent recyclable.
