Your Kent Wedding - July/August 2020 (Issue 91)

SUN ’ S OUT Amanda Harrington New Skin Body Advanced Glycolic Body Scrub 180ml £22, www.amandaharrington.com “Prepare yourself for a treat. This scrub leaves your skin feeling wonderfully soft and renewed; great for tackling dry patches, especially around the knees and elbows before self-tanning. The exfoliating beads are biodegradable and it has a lovely subtle fragrance too – a pre-honeymoon must-have!” – Sarah Reeve Bioderma Atoderm Shower Oil 200ml £9, www.feelunique.com “My skin is definitely not summer ready. I suffer with very dry, borderline scaly, shins and nothing makes a difference. Plus, I’m not a fan of mucking about with lotions straight out of the shower – I know, I don’t help myself! The good news for me is that this oil works as a shower soap, cleansing the skin with a gentle foam before rinsing away, and it really did go a long way towards solving my woes. What’s more it’s ideal to use when shaving your legs. Maybe a skirt won’t be out of the question this year!” – Kelly Andrews Green People Scent Free SPF30 Facial Suncream 50ml £19 or 200ml £24, www.greenpeople.co.uk “I love the sun and will happily sit out in it all day, however, suffering from prickly heat and eczema I can’t say the sun loves me! So, I jumped at the chance to test this organic suncream. Thick to apply, which helps to see the coverage, it seeps into skin leaving it silky smooth. I was able to dress straight away afterwards and didn’t experience any of the usual skin sensitivity as a result of being in the sun. I love the all-natural ingredients and brand ethos; I’d use this for the whole family.” – Danielle Harvey St. Moriz Advanced Pro Formula Radiant Glow Face Mist 150ml £9.99, www.superdrug.com “I tested this product in the morning after I’d cleansed and moisturised. The lightweight spray felt nice to apply, and it has a pleasant, sweet fragrance. I didn’t wear make-up or wash my face for the rest of the day, leaving it to gradually develop, and after a second application the next morning, I started to notice a subtle glow to my skin - nothing drastic, just what I wanted. Perfect for a big- day glow and a honeymoon suitcase essential.” – Claire Ridley Sugar Coated Leg Hair Removal Kit £9.99, www.sugarcoatedhairremoval.com “Waxing at home isn’t something I’d normally consider, but being in lockdown it was the perfect time to give it a whirl. The 100 per cent natural wax, the only one to be certified by The Vegan Society, is made from sugar and water. It also comes with reusable, washable strips so it’s great for the planet. It’s smooth to apply as it’s not super-sticky, and has a sweet caramel smell. After bracing myself for the pain of removal, there really wasn’t any. It doesn’t tug at the skin and the rosehip essential oil soothes as it goes.” – Hannah Faulder Yardley London Flowerazzi Magnolia & Pink Orchid Exfoliating Body Scrub 200ml £6, www.yardleylondon.co.uk “The first thing I noticed was the gorgeous summery scent that filled the room, making me feel instantly relaxed. The lightly foaming gel is made using 95 per cent naturally-derived vegan and cruelty-free ingredients to leave your skin feeling softer and smoother. It felt luxurious on my sensitive skin and worked like magic. After just two uses, I noticed a real difference and have since incorporated it into my daily routine. A small amount goes a long way, so the bottle size is well worth the budget-friendly price tag.” – Melissa Barker Get summer-ready skin with our scorching hot best buys TRIED AND TESTED 109
