Tone-up trio

Dita Von Teese might be famous for her porcelain complexion, but some make-up mavens can’t function without a golden glow, even in the depths of winter. For them tan specialists James Read have created the Tan Edit Face, comprising Sleep Mask Tan Face, a lightweight gel that leaves a subtle tan while you snooze; Day Tan SPF 15 Face, a soothing cream that promotes a gradual golden complexion; and Tan Perfecting Enzyme Peel. Holidays are coming.

Touch sensitive

Looking for a stocking filler for the gardener in your life? This generous duo (300ml each of ultra cleansing foam and moisturising lotion) will be warmly appreciated by green-fingered friends and family. Key ingredients include lemon foam and shea butter. And Le Couvent Des Minimes donates 1 per cent of all annual sales to the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary charity.

We’re partial to a spot of self-gifting at this time of year and we couldn’t resist Cowshed’s Best of the Best gift set for our mini break over New Year. Containing Grumpy Cow Bath & Shower Gel (100ml) as well as a scrub, body lotion, hand cream and lip balm there’s all you need in one stylish purple wash bag, which is a good size as well. Emphatically not cattle class.
