Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - March/April 2022 (Issue 36)

EYE LOVE THIS! Hot on FeelUnique at the moment is Vichy Mineral 89 Eye Brightening Serum with hyaluronic acid and caffeine (£20). This multi-tasker is designed to lighten the appearance of dark circles, make eye bags less visible, hydrate and plump the sensitive eye area for 24 hours and protect the skin’s barrier function. It can even make eyelashes appear stronger and feel silkier. I love the instantly soothing effect it has on the delicate eye area after scrubbing away to remove make-up. It’s an all-round little hero and you can find it at www.feelunique.com YOU CAN IMPROVE ON PERFECTION! Now reformulated to be vegan-friendly and even more comfortable with an extended shade range suitable for all skin tones, Huda Beauty proves that the perfect liquid matte lipstick does exist. The non-drying formula delivers a oneswipe application of vibrant colour coverage with up to eight hours of staying power that every bride needs and is flake-, streak-, smudge-, and transferproof. It also now boasts the thinnest possible texture thanks to the brand’s unique L.O.V.E complex (lycopene, olive oil, vitamin A and E, essential fatty acids) helping to keep lips supple all day long. Find the new and improved Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipsticks (£18) at www.cultbeauty.co.uk FREEZE FRAME Having seen Skin Proud Frozen Over (£16.95) go viral on TikTok I was keen to know more about this cryotherapy gel moisturiser. Designed to combat tired and puffy skin in desperate need of a pick me up, the gel-to-ice moisturiser hydrates and cools. Infused with anti-inflammatory aloe vera extract and hyaluronic acid it also works to lock in moisture and calm the skin. It can be used as is or popped in the freezer for a slush-like texture and extra-cooling relief. Find it at www.boots.com COOL, CALM AND COLLECTED Is worrying about irritated skin on your wedding day keeping you awake at night? Check out Organic Series’ new Soothing Mask (£29). Designed to soothe irritation and redness it contains rich amounts of floral chamomile, rose and lavender, sure to leave you with a spring in your step. With aloe vera and hyaluronic acid too, skin will feel moisturised, smooth and protected, while anti-bacterial rosemary helps reduce fine lines and firms the skin. Use at night before your head hits the pillow and wake up to regenerated skin. Check out www.organicseries.co.uk BYE, BYE DRY Have the ravages of winter left your skin dry, dull, sensitive, flaky and tight? As we embrace the spring, get your glow back with Q+A Snow Algae Intensive Face Cream (£12). If, like me, you’re reaching for Google, allow me to explain. Snow algae, also known as watermelon snow, is a species of green algae containing astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant great at improving dryness, sun damage and protecting against free radicals. I’ve only been using it for a couple of days and my dry skin is already showing signs of improvement. Find it at www.qandaskin.com BODY BEAUTIFUL Alexandra Kay Time to Ease Muscle Relax (£29) and Time to Soothe Scent Free (£28) Body Oils are natural, organic and carefullyblended massage oils.
