Petro | Co-founder & COO
“Recommended to me by Alessandra Steinherr, I can confirm this is the best cream for every dry-skin dilemma — chapped heels, lips, hands and even faces. I’ve been using it since November and I’m only halfway through the tube, as a little goes such a long way. It’s great for all the family too.”
Lauren | Beauty & Wellness Director
“Whenever I travel to Paris, I make a beeline for the nearest pharmacy so that I can stock up on this lip balm staple. It’s simple — not fancy or scented — just pure hydration and lip nourishment. I make sure I bulk-buy these tubes of lip joy.”
Emma | Head of Partnerships
“I like to alternate between BioSculpt and bare nails to give them a break, so this treatment is the perfect way to nourish and add shine simultaneously, helping to minimise any damage and keep my nails looking healthy.”
Fenella | Acting Fashion Director
“My summer staple I keep coming back to! The texture is perfect and completely invisible — which is hard to find with an SPF — ideal under make-up or on holiday. It leaves my skin feeling nourished and moisturised.”
Claudia | Ecommerce SEO Executive
“Every summer, this is the first thing I buy — it’s my must-have for beach days, poolside lounging, and anytime I’m out in the sun. I always keep a bottle in my bag because it’s the best for refreshing my face, especially after I’ve had sun cream on for hours or I’m feeling sweaty. It’s perfect after tanning too — it just makes my skin feel calm, cool, and reset.”
Georgie | Email Marketing Manager
“I adore Nuxe products and their Huile Prodigieuse is such a summer staple. Not only does it smell heavenly, it nourishes and hydrates the skin, plus leaves a delightful shimmery finish — perfect for al fresco evenings.”
Grace | Social Media Assistant
“This moisturiser leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished. It sits beautifully under make-up and smells incredibly fresh — it’s perfect for summer!”
Phoebe | Social Media Manager
“My favourite sun cream that protects my sensitive skin, keeps my concealer in place, and doesn’t trigger breakouts has just had a ‘light-as-air’ upgrade — full of serums I’m desperate to try.”
Elizabeth | Junior Content Writer
“I’ve recently been introduced to double cleansing, and this oil-based cleanser has now become a staple in my nightly skincare routine. It’s gentle, yet I can feel it remove everything from my skin after a long summer day. I follow it with a simple foaming cleanser and finish with moisturiser.”
Lily | Fashion Newsletter Editor
“I often forget about protecting my hair in the summer months. I love this multipurpose sun protection that can be used on the face, body and hair (which means I don’t have to pack multiple products). It’s become a summer essential for me and the family.”
Regina | Production Coordinator
“As someone with very oily skin, finding a summer skincare product that truly works without making my face feel greasy has always been a challenge. The Heliocare 360 Oil-Free Gel SPF50 has completely changed the game for me. It has an oil-free, matte-finish formula that keeps my skin shine-free all day."
