Oskia Micro-Exfoliating Balm
Now the clocks have moved forward (yes, I remembered!) and we’ve got that bit of extra daylight, I can’t help noticing that my skin is still in winter and not looking as glowy as I’d like it to. Spring is all about a fresh look for the complexion and so I’ve hunted down my favourite glow-getters and this week’s task is to look dewy and flawless.
Oskia Micro-Exfoliating Balm
This is easily one of the most lovely exfoliators I’ve ever used thanks to the balm formula. It feels ultra-gentle but gives a thorough buffing that leaves skin gleaming. Containing MSM, prebiotics, omegas, Vitamin E, rosehip and sweet almond oil, it also replenishes the lipid barrier ensuring that there is never any tautness or ‘stretched’ feeling afterwards. MSM is Oskia’s secret ingredient: a natural form of sulphur that is crucial to regeneration of cells and is often taken as a food supplement.

Guerlain Les Meteorites Diffusing Perfecting Primer
This is one of the best beauty cheats out there for skin that’s looking a little lacklustre. In the light, water-gel formula, are thousands of pearls full of illuminating particles that help to conceal any imperfections and give the complexion that lit-from-within look. The gel adds revitalising moisture and the pearls give a matte, instant radiance with no unwanted shine.

This gorgeously silky powder is a bit of an insider secret. It is part of the core range for YSL and contains the YSL exclusive Bright Pearl Complex that evens out your tone and gives instant matt illumination. The genius of this is that because it’s in powder form, it is perfect for on-the-go touch ups and whenever your glow is in danger of escaping!
