Make-up that also provides added sun protection? Win-win (and bye-bye extra layer of shiny sunscreen). Step forward our cosmetics champ of the season, the Instant Radiance Sun Defence by Dr Dennis Gross – a tinted moisturiser that comes in two shades, with SPF 40 to boot. The UVA/UVB broad-spectrum SPF is unbeatable, the amount of natural-looking, colour-correcting coverage is spot on, and the infusion of anti-ageing ingredients such as vitamin C and melatonin are the cherries on top.  

The yearning for radiant skin is something that rises exponentially with the advent of spring, but topical creams aren’t the whole answer. Beauty supplements, when taken regularly, can help to improve your skin’s overall health. Our favourite is the Beauty Chef’s Collagen Inner Beauty Boost elixir. Packed with antioxidants such as papaya, goji berry, zinc and vitamin C, it works in tandem with topical products to increase the skin’s elasticity (read: younger and more glowy). Just mix a 15ml shot with water, or add it to your morning smoothie.

Frizz, faded colour, tatty ends: if the combination of sub-zero temperatures and central heating has left your locks in tatters, you’re not alone. Luckily, help is at hand thanks to a crop of nourishing new masks, oils and hair treatments. We love Rita Hazan’s Weekly Remedy, which is packed with ingredients like jojoba oil and rice protein to help repair hair from the inside out, leaving it softer, more manageable and, best of all, frizz free!

While we prefer to envelope ourselves in warming scents like wood, bergamot and cinnamon during winter, there’s nothing like the first flushes of spring to make us crave something altogether lighter. And Byredo’s new limited-edition Bibliothèque Eau de Parfum fits the brief perfectly, thanks to its sweet yet smoky blend of peach, plum, leather, vanilla and patchouli.
