If like me you’re finding the festive season somewhat exhausting thanks to the daily juggle of events, get togethers, shopping trips, kid’s activities, workload and more, it’s time to get serious about your skin because chances are it’ll be visibly reflecting exactly how you feel, and let’s face it no one wants to look fatigued! No sireee, instead we all want beautifully glowing skin, and beautifully glowing skin you shall have (as long as you invest in the right radiance boosting products that is!) And remember it’s not just about your skincare, you can also fake it till you make it with a range of makeup must-haves too! So read on for our personal top 10 beauty must-haves for truly glowing skin this festive season.

Pevonia Vitamin C Complex

Serums – a must-have in any beauty routine. Why? Because they are the one product that will deeply penetrate the skin for optimum results every day. And a collective favourite for skin that glows is Pevonia’s Vitamin C Complex. It’s a beautiful lightweight, creamy serum which smells DIVINE.

I personally use this product every single day as I love how it makes my skin both look and feel! (and I love the complimentary comments I get from wearing it too!) Its rich in Vitamin C and hydration hero hyaluronic acid, that work together to quite literally drench your skin with repairing antioxidants, deeply nourishing it while correcting photo-damage. And not only does it have the most beautiful citrus aroma, it makes skin instantly brighter and dewier on application too! Apply in the morning after cleansing and before applying your moisturiser for that perfect pick-me-up!

For the ultimate skin brightening boost, this product is a must!

NEW Naturys Moisturising Hydra Serum 24H

If you want glowing skin but don’t want to break the bank then get your hands on this new beauty by organic and vegan skincare brand Naturys.

It boosts skin with that much needed burst of hydration (which let’s face it we could all do with this time of year) leaving it not only deeply nourished but softer, smoother and visibly radiant too (and we are talking after every application!)

It’s a rich moisturising gel serum so it feels wonderful to apply, plus it contains a multitude of amazing ingredients from hyaluronic acid and panthenol to vine sap, celery stem cells and peptides! So let’s not forget the added detail that its anti-ageing too!

Definitely a new go-to favourite of many of our team!

Medicalia – Sunscreen SPF 40 with Blue Light Shield

No one likes slathering on sunscreen, but it is THE most important step in your daily routine, and we don’t need to remind you why! Sunscreen IS essential all year round, but with more time out and about this silly season, it really is time to find that SPF favourite and use it religiously.

So with that said, we felt it important to incorporate one into this list. We get that sunscreen often doesn’t feel good, no one likes the thick, oily slick that some can leave, not to mention the smell, but this one by Medicalia is subtle in fragrance, offers skin a smooth tinted look and protects skin against UV rays and Blue light damage omitted from all those devices we love to use! That’s right your devices can and will affect your skin just as the harmful rays from the sun do, and this sunscreen will help prevent that! We love it!

Phytomer Night Recharge Youth Enhancing Cream

Looking after your skin with a good night-time routine will have a profound effect on its appearance by morning believe me!

And my personal go-to for summer is Phytomer’s beautiful silky, lightweight Night Recharge Youth Enhancing Cream. I am personally obsessed and as a result have got many of my colleagues onto it too!  The cream cocoons my skin in nourishing hydration and really does restore youthful glowy vitality by morning. It’s soo good! Trust me!
