BEAUTY FILE Jo Foley takes a look at what’s new, what helps and where to find it Pearly Queen
Potions, Lotions, Oils & Pearls Love Your Body
We all know Cleopatra bathed in diluted pearls – now it’s your turn, as a whole new skincare brand containing the purest of pearl powders is launched. Powdered pearl was used in traditional Chinese beauty therapies as it
was thought to have powerful anti-ageing properties. Now the Italian spa brand COMFORT ZONE has combined it with Vitamin C to give a spring kick to dull, tired-looking skin. The promise is a brighter, more luminous appearance within four weeks. The range includes a cleanser, tonic, serum and cream, and prices are from £19.75 for the tonic.

Travelling Light
I am always looking for the perfect travel set, and a new one on the scene seems to answer all my needs. German skincare company BABOR have produced three different sets – an anti-stress (great for long haul), moist intense (for ultra dry skin) and Complex C (great for mature skins). Each poche includes two lotions that make up one of the most powerful and effective cleansers on the market, plus a moisture cream and shower gel or milk. Babor are renowned in Germany for skincare and are in many spas. However, it is quite new to the UK and only available at selected Spas.
Call 0161 926 8815 for stockists. Each travel set costs £30. Gentle Tint of Summer
Many of us do not want, or even need, a foundation on holiday or during the summer, which is where tinted moisturiser comes into its own. One of the best of the new is CLINIQUE’S Moisture Surge with an SPF of 15. A lightweight gel-cream, it comes in six shades to suit all skin tones and will keep skin hydrated and moisturised throughout the day. From all Clinique stockists, it costs £21.

The name of this new oil is a command as well as a softening agent for your skin. This cult product is from the organic Australian brand, BLACK CHICKEN REMEDIES, and is made from a combination of 12 remedial oils, which include avocado, rosehip, hazelnut, lavender, carrot, sandalwood and geranium. Completely organic and chemical free, Love Your Body Oil should be applied daily after a bath or shower. It costs £45.50 exclusively from Selfridges. Why Black Chicken? It’s because the company founder, Chey Birch, says it is to remind us that, for thousands of years, medicine men and women only ever relied on nature!
Melting Moments
ELEMIS, which celebrates 20 years of spa brilliance this year, is constantly de-
veloping new treats as well as treatments. Renowned as much for its skincare range as for its massages, its latest is the ulti- mate cleanser – Melting Cleansing Gel. A melange of argan oil, rosemary and assai fruit, the gel emulsifies and melts into milk once massaged into the skin with warm water. Simply wipe with a warm cloth or mitt, it’s suitable for all skin types, including dry/mature and sensitive types.
Just £19.40 from John Lewis, Debenhams or Harvey Nichols.
