BeGlow Tia Mas SkinSense Cleansing Device, £279
With ever changing Covid restrictions, we’ve all had to adapt our usual self-care habits this year, and for some that might mean those regular facials at the salon. For glowing skin at home, BeGlow’s Facial Toning and Cleansing Device hits the spot.
We’ve all heard the debate over the effectiveness of bristle brushes, leading skincare companies to switch for smoother silicone heads for a gentler cleanse that still guarantees a deep clean. BeGlow’s offering goes one step further and combines silicone cleansing with micro-electronic technology for facial lifting.
The dual-ended ergonomic design comes with a removable silicone head on one end, making it a dream to clean whilst ensuring it won’t lose its effectiveness when you replace it each year. On the other end, the titanium plate uses microcurrent contouring technology to mimic the effects of an expert facial, working to reduce fine lines and rebuild facial contour.
It fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, and the curved edges mean a more uniform coverage of your face as it glides across the skin. Use as part of your morning and evening skincare routine for your best skin yet.
Illamasqua Beyond Face Palette, £45
This travel-sized palette is perfect for on the go. Featuring two powder blushers and two powder highlighters, you can layer together or wear individually to add a pop of colour. Packaged in a gorgeous black and gold compact, it’s vegan and cruelty free too.
Pixi Multi-Moisturising Gift Set, £20
Brand new for Christmas is the Pixi Multi-Moisturising Gift Set containing three of their most popular moisturisers. Each has different benefits from the Phenomenal Gel which works to balance skin’s pH and the Retinol Jasmine Lotion formulated with Vitamin A to refresh skin. This is a perfect way to test out each travel-sized mini before splurging on the full-sized product.
