Sarah Chapman Skinesis Overnight Facial Oil 15ml – €70

“I am absolutely loving Sarah Chapman Skinesis Overnight Facial oil. I used to use it for years and I recently rediscovered it and wondered why I ever stopped. It’s a nightly dry-oil serum enriched with Vitamins A, C and E alongside antioxidants. It’s such a nourishing treat for your skin and gives you that spa-like experience at home. Expect brighter, smoother, more radiant looking skin in the morning.” – Elle, Acting Deputy Editor and Beauty Editor

MGC Derma 365 Day Skin Guard 50ml – €62

“I was recently introduced to a beautiful new Irish skincare brand called MGC Derma, based in Carrick-On-Shannon, Co Leitrim. What sets it apart is its combination of cutting-edge ingredients backed by science with nature – all products, which are holistic and vegan, contain a unique compound Aquiol. Rich in pure CBD, Aquiol contains high concentrations of vitamin A, B, D, E and antioxidants which work to naturally prevent, reduce and repair skin cell damage. From Botanical Blend 8-Hour Relief cream to Face and Neck Serum for Firming, this is skincare made for all skin types, with my own sensitive skin finding the products particularly soothing. One I’ll be restocking as a desk essential is the 365 Day Skin Guard with blue light protection. Made with butterfly flower extract as well as Soliberine (a phytobioactive that offers broad spectrum protection) and fruit-derived Embilica (which is effective against hyper pigmentation, age spots and freckles), this has become my go-to cream that I apply every morning and my skin feels so healthy as a result.” – Niamh, Acting Editor

Ground Wellbeing Restorative Cleansing Balm 120ml – €56.50

“I started using this cleanser from the award-winning Irish brand recently and absolutely love it! It has the most unbelievably soft, velvety texture that just starts melting almost as soon as it hits your fingers and glides so easily around the face. The recommended guidelines suggest leaving it on for 10 minutes and relishing the gorgeous blend of Rosewood and Geranium aromatherapy oils which give it its beautiful scent. It also has ingredients including shea butter and sweet almond oil which help to restore the skin’s natural barrier and replenish depleted skin lipids. Divine! – Claire, Digital Journalist

Joico’s Blonde Life Blonde Strong Detangler – €26.99

“A product that I am loving at the moment is this Blonde Life detangler from Joico. This has actually transformed my hair. I regularly get my hair lightened and the blonder I go, the more dry my hair has gotten over time. This can also be a nightmare when trying to brush it. I actually can’t believe the difference this spray has made to my hair. It feels thicker, shinier and the ends of my hair don’t feel half as frazzled. I don’t tend to splurge on hair care products, but I have also used the shampoo from this Blonde Life Range and adore this too so see the investment is worth it.” – Megan, Journalist

Mervue Organic Superfruit Facial Balm 50ml – €35

“I’ve been slathering the Mervue organic superfruit facial balm with cranberry and borage on my face every night before I go to sleep. It has a luxurious aromatic oil texture that glides onto my skin to effortlessly lift makeup residue and the impurities of the day, to leave my face cleansed and refreshed. It also works as a hydrating facial balm to plump up the skin. Mervue Organic is a Galway-based ethical company who are mindful of  creating products in a sustainable and ethical way.” – Ariana, Sales Manager
