Beauty Notes Spring 2020
The latest innovations to help you look and feel great
SILKY SKIN
For glowing, wedding day skin try Clarins Plant Gold Nutri-Revitalising Oil Emulsion (£48), which combines the brand’s best-selling Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil with a luxe lotion, to perfect the skin. We love the scent of the added patchouli essential oil, which creates a sense of well-being and a spa-like tranquillity.
BUY IT
If you’re one of the 100,000 people who follow Live Tinted on Instagram, youíll know that itís an inclusive beauty community for skin tones that are overlooked in the media. The brandís founder Deepica Mutyala has just developed the multi-use Hue Sticks (£19, www.livetinted.com), which are available in three flattering shades. The crayon-like sticks can be used to add pigment to the eyes, lips and cheeks and they also serve as a colour corrector.
HANDBAG HERO
L’Occitane’s The Petit Remedy (£10) is a multi-tasking hero that transforms from a semi-solid balm into a silky oil on contact with the skin. It is loaded with shea butter, lavender and other plant extracts. Use it on the hands, face, body or hair – it’s the perfect handbag companion.
LIP LOVE
Apply Estée Lauder Nighttime Rescue Lip Oil-Serum before bedtime (£25) ñ the added lavender and flower oils soothe and softens lips while you sleep.
SPA OF THE SEASON: FORUM SPA, CELTIC MANOR, NEWPORT
Located in the picturesque Usk Valley in Wales, this five-star resort is set amidst 2,000 acres of panoramic parkland. The serene Forum Spa includes a host of facilities to help you feel fantastic, including a swimming pool, steam room, sauna and a relaxation zone where you can linger for hours.

TREATMENTS TO TRY:
Couples Candle Ritual Massage (£144, 50mins) – a blissful body massage using Oskia Rose de Mai body oil. Sore, aching limbs are worked away and skin is left feeling soft and hydrated.
