A game-changing SPF, resurfacing body polish and glow galore - here are the new products to know for the change of season.
Sure, it was snowing at the start of the month. It’s raining most days. But in between the drizzle, we’ve had a notable weekend of hot summer sun and flashes of sunny blasts. So while you stock up on Aperol and start thinking about what sandals you want to wear this year, it’s time to rifle through your beauty bits, to put away the thick winter creams and at last, start thinking about the lightweight.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Age Correct SPF50, €28
CHOOSE YOUR NEW SPF
I know you’re wearing your sun protection all year round but if you’re not, just know that dermatologists will tell you it’s the greatest skincare product you’ll ever buy to target signs of ageing. With nicer days ahead, it’s definitely time to reintroduce it to the routine if you’ve been slacking. Just in time, La Roche-Posay has launched its first active SPF, Anthelios Age Correct SPF50. It’s suitable for sensitive skin, reduces dark spots and wrinkles and provides a hit of hydration thanks to hyaluronic acid in the formula.

The Essie Limited Edition Spa-Inspired Shades, €9.99 each
SWAP YOUR DARK NAILS FOR SOMETHING BRIGHT
It’s time to put away your wines and ease into summer shades. The new Essie Spa-Inspired collection shades are inspired by a tranquil desert spa retreat; think soft green, muted yellow, cool navy, and warm nude. They’re universally flattering tones with a springy feel and glossy finish.
Sunday Riley Charcoal Smoothie Jelly Body Scrub, €38
SLOUGH OFF YOUR DEAD SKIN
After a year indoors and a long winter, your skin is probably feeling lizard-like and in need of a full body polish. Enter Sunday Riley Charcoal Smoothie Jelly Body Scrub, which is a spa treatment, body facial, scrub and moisturiser in one. It is, as the name suggests, a sort of jelly, with salicylic acid to tackle any bumpy texture and keratosis pilaris, exfoliators to leave you siky, charcoal to pull out your spots and ingrown hairs and avocado and coconut oils to leave you soft and smooth.
