The gloriously warm summer sun on your face,spritz in hand and tanned limbs may feel like a distant dream but fear not… There’s no reason to let your glow go(even though summer is loooong gone). We’ve rounded up the essential exfoliators, scrubs, lotions, and potions (read: self-tanning saviours) to help you keep glowing this autumn (and beyond).
1. Scrub-a-dub dub
This powerhouse cocktail from Medik8 (no, not that type of cocktail!) packs a mighty punch with its glow-giving properties. We all know the road to gorgeous, glowy skin involves (gently!) removing the dead surface cells, and the {Press and Glow} tonic is a toner (with a twist, wink.) It gently exfoliates, resurfaces, hydrates and smoothes without irritating sensitive complexions. It utilises intelligent poly-hydroxy acids which are larger than other AHAs and BHAs, meaning it only exfoliates the uppermost surface of the skin while working as a mighty moisture magnet too. The aloe vera in this formula helps to reduce reactivity, and the prickly pear extract works to encourage cell renewal to leave you looking luminous. It really is a formidable cocktail.
Get radiant skin in 3,2,1…with Malin and Goetz {Jojoba Face Scrub}. Perfect for polishing congested, textured and rough skin, this non-abrasive scrub restores your glow in no time. With its supercharged formula incorporating a moisture-retaining humectant duo of glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, a trio of microspheric exfoliant beads that are powerful but gentle and a nourishing blend of jojoba esters, milk, and oils this is your answer to rebalanced, hydrated, radiant skin.
Let’s not forget to lavish your limbs with some love too. Enter Biossance’s {Squalane + Enzyme Sugar Body Scrub}. It’s a super gentle physical exfoliant that’s powered by enzymes and sugar crystals to gently lift away scales and leave silky soft skin in its wake. In a 14-day survey of 37 women aged between 18 and35, 100% agreed that this limb-loving exfoliant reduced the appearance of bumpy skin, uneven texture, and flakiness after two weeks!
