Easy peasy:So how's the 'new year, new you' plan going? By the third week of January, that initial burst of enthusiasm has often given way to grim reality and you're feeling more than a bit sorry for yourself. Here's a little helper that will make you feel great from the inside out.
One dropper full of dr brandt water booster (£29) contains the same amount of anti-oxidants as 15 cups of green tea – how easy is that? www.spacenk.com
Home comforts
Dip into a pot of richly moisturising Deep Comfort Body Butter from Clinique (€ 31.50). It’s thick creamy formula will leave your hard working body feeling silky smooth.
Pop up
Here’s the totally modern way to wear red. The great texture of Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in shade Pop Life (€25) allows for easy application which can be as subtle or dramatic as you wish – the colour is a suits-all tomato which instantly brightens your look. From Brown Thomas.
Déjà vu
Readers of a certain vintage will recognise the ever so elegant lady on this bottle of l’Onglex Nail Polish Remover (€ 3.69). This oily blend prevents nails from drying out and breaking. Created in Paris in 1911, it has been relaunched with the original retro chic packaging.
Teenage kicks
Mild acne and oily skin is an unfortunate side effect of being a teenager, and just when they want to look their best too, bless them. Less chips and chocolate will help, and also Effaclar Duo from La Roche Posey (€16.50). It treats both inflamed pimples and blocked pores without drying skin, the special value packs currently in pharmacies, includes three extra products from the range at no extra cost. So they can stop worrying about their skin and concentrate on getting their hair just right.
Hair today
Don’t have time to wash your hair or simply couldn’t be bothered? L’Oréal Elvive Leave in Conditioning Sprays (€ 4.59) give hair a real boost between washes. There are four different formulas to protect, repair, shine or smooth. Use on dry hair for a quick fix, or on wet hair for a more intense treatment.
