Jo Foley takes a look at what’s new, what helps and where to find it
LIP-Smacking
The skin on our lips is finer and thinner than else- where, which is why we need to cosset it a little more – not just in the winter, when it is assaulted by wind, cold and the drying effects of central heating, but also in summer when the sun, hopefully, makes an appearance. And, of course, as we get older the lips’ natural moisture balance slows down, high- lighting fine lines and wrinkles.
So, rushing in to help redress this balance are two terrific products. The first is Clinique Repairwear Intensive Lip Treatment, rich in vitamins and emol- lients and encased in a swivel- up package that is ideal for popping into your handbag, so you can reapply at any time. From Clinique counters across the country, it costs £20.
Skin thing
Body Boost
Are you one of those people who has jars and packets of vitamins and minerals all lined up to greet you in the mornings? Well, here’s a way of ensuring that you get all your nutritional supplements and antioxidants in one fell swoop.
Ultra Body, who offer everything from detox packages to weight-loss supplements, have come up with Total Nutrition – a sachet containing all your needs, which you mix with water and sip at your leisure.
It has more than 50 active ingredients, including gingko and ginseng, and is lactose and gluten free. What’s more, it comes in two flavours – passionfruit and citrus – and costs just £21 a pack of 30 (order from
www.ultrabody.co.uk).
And then there is Lanolips – new from the US, and containing that much-loved ingredient, lanolin, which is one of the best moisturisers known to woman as it can hold over 200 per cent of its own weight in water!
It’s hypoallergenic, too, and can be used any- where that skin is try. However, try it first on
your lips – and you will see its power. Lanolips 101 Ointment costs £11 from Victoria Health (order online at
www.victorialhealth.com).

even the most sensitive eyes and are as easy to use as a pencil. The five shades come with a shimmering highlighter to
co-ordinate. A single Mystikol costs £17.50, while the set of five is £69
