1. 1L Faith In Nature Haircare

RRP: £12 

Size isn't everything... except it sort of is everything when it comes to sustainable beauty. Consuming less beats recycling more, plastic-wise. And buying jumbo-sized versions of your beauty staples is an easy way to give Mother Earth the nod and say, hey, I see you girl. 

Faith in Nature is well ahead of the game with their vast offering of recyclable, refillable, and – with these new 1L shampoos and conditioners – supersize buys that'll still fit in your shower. Our favorite is zingy Grapefruit & Orange, but everything smells great and is excellent value too.

2. Oskia London Violet Water Clearing Cleanser

RRP: £34

Spring cleaning time! With cleansers, there's a sweet spot between the ones that are a step up from a bar of soap and ones that are packed with so many expensive, high-tech ingredients it feels ridiculous to wash them down the plughole. 

This happily resides in said best cleanser netherzone. It contains cleverly-judged amounts of pore-clarifying stuff like salicylic acid, rebalancing prebiotics and soothing prickly pear. It's effective but not harsh and has a generous lather that makes the minute it's on your skin feel like a treat.

3. Jo Malone London Star Magnolia Hair Mist 

RRP: £40 for 30ml

You might think luxury hair perfume sounds pretty extra and to be honest, it's hard to disagree. Or at least it would be if the idea was buying a dedicated scent for your 'do plus another one of the best Jo Malone fragrances to spriz over the rest of you.

But what if we said this is more of an either-or sitation? Suddenly, with it's democratic price point, subtle floral fragrance and handbag-friendly size, this limited-edition starts to feel low-key, chic and, dare we say it – sensible? Trust us, there's a way to justify every purchase if you look hard enough. 


4. Super Healthy Hair™ Seven Oil Hair Elixir

4. Super Healthy Hair™ Seven Oil Hair Elixir

RRP: £35

5. Neal’s Yard Remedies Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Booster

5. Neal’s Yard Remedies Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Booster

RRP: £18

This March, Neal’s Yard Remedies have launched a brand new trio of multipurpose, high performing Skincare Boosters: Vitamin C Brightening Booster, Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Booster and Organic Rosehip Oil.

All three Skincare Boosters feature all-natural actives in high concentrate to deliver results, even for the most sensitive skin and target three different skin concerns. Our favourite is the Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Booster which has been formulated to target dehydrated skin as well as fine lines and wrinkles to leave skin smooth, plump and dewy. 


6. WoW Brow

6. WoW Brow

RRP: £39

Finding the perfect brow gel can be a tricky task, especially if you're after something that will both hold and tint. However, Brows by Sarah has managed to nail it. Wow Brow boasts the perfect-sized brush to catch every hair without distributing too much product, whilst the subtle tint adds color without looking unnatural or blocky. 

With ideal color matches for those with both fair and dark hair, it saves precious time in the morning that was previously spent filling in sparse areas with a pencil. The best part about Wow Brow is that the formula contains keratin to promote brow growth and strengthen the hair, so you're getting a treatment within your makeup routine that really does work.


7. Depuffing Undereye Gels

In her Dr Dennis Gross LED mask review, one woman&home's beauty editors describes this product as one of the best red light therapy devices you can buy to use at home and one of her "all-time beauty recommendations."

It's undoubtedly expensive, but if you can afford to invest, the difference it will make to your skin is truly impressive."
