IF YOU were asked you what beauty products you would take with you to a desert island, what would you answer? Where would one start to make such a decision?
In a world where we are so spoilt for choice, we cling to products that work for us and we can no longer do with out them…
The Elemis Body Brush is one such example. Used daily after a morning shower, this will stimulate and detoxify your whole body, leaving you feeling awake and ready to go!
Daily dry body brushing is recommended to stimulate lymph and blood circulation for the removal of impurities from under the skin’s surface. It is extremely useful for encouraging cellulite deposits to disperse and for decongesting all the systems of the body.
Body brushing daily can change the health of your whole body. Circulation and skin softness is improved, it helps fight skin infections and irritations and improves whole body freshness. Your energy levels, immunity and your personal rejuvenation are all areas of improvement you can look for when you make Body Brushing a regular habit.
Give it a go and start that detox regime!

At the top of my list, I would have Barry M’s Super Soft eye Crayon, a daily eyeliner that is soft enough to smudge but gives you total control, so that you don’t end up looking like a panda bear!
This Super Soft eye Crayon has an extra-soft formulation with a thicker application to help create that smudgy, smokey-eyed look. It can be applied heavily for a glamorous evening look or lightly for a day- to-day look. A great find which is sure to be on your ‘desert island list’.

Pinch your cheeks: for that healthy look… why not try Origins’ Pinch Your Cheeks? It’s enough to make you blush! A lightweight, transparent cheek gel that gives cheeks a radiant, rosy glow but never looks red-in-the-face.
The super-sheer gel formula of Pinch Your Cheeks lets skin show through – just like when you naturally blush or you’re flushed with a healthy glow.
To apply: Simply squeeze a tiny amount of gel onto fingertips. Apply directly to the apples of your cheeks. Blend in a gentle circular motion across cheeks.

We love: Burt’s Bees Beeswax lip balm: a handy little tin full of the goodness of mother earth. It contains beeswax, rather than petroleum which makes it super-moisturising. It also contains peppermint oil to refresh the skin and rosemary extract to stimulate cell renewal. A must-have all year round, but particularly when the temperatures start to drop!
