Holiday have-musts!

Although not exactly my desert island essentials – I went to mainland Turkey! These two newly discovered beauty goodies are already on my list for my next getaway in September.

In the past, when travelling I was a slave to my styling brush and hairdryer. No more. Oh yes, Toni & Guy Sea Salt Texturising Spray has transformed my holiday hair. It’s so liberating just to wash, condition, spray and ruffle dry with fingers. It’s like skinny dipping! My humidity besieged hair would normally frizz if not groomed and glossed, but with this it took on a whole new beach vibe. All Kate Moss textured waves and mermaid ripples and body. Totally a hair rescue!

My second saviour was Suti’s Peppermint Water Organic Facial Toner. With a couple of quick sprays, it gave my fatigued and hot skin a sparkling wake-up moment. The peppermint was a tonic to weary senses and skin wasn’t left feeling wet then Sahara desert dry like it can with water sprays. The only downside is it’s in a glass bottle so you have to be careful when slinging it around in your beach bag.  So, summing up, if I was stranded on a desert island these would guarantee I would have sexy beach-strewn hair and fresh looking skin when my SOS flare was finally spotted!

Very skin Suti-able!

With cold winds and central heating still blasting, I’m finding skin hydration needs to clunk up into fifth gear. Whenever I find skin begging for replenishing I turn to oils. For the face, rescue has come in the form of Suti’s Organic Face Oil for Night. This British brand has been garnering lots of press attention lately, and rightly so – the quality and performance of their products can be smelt and felt instantly.

An after-hours skin comforter, you only need apply two to three drops and massage into the face to literally hear the skin inwardly shout, ‘yes, yes, oh, yes!’ Rich in texture, yet decidedly non-greasy, it’s a blend of 15 plant and flower extracts including avocado oil, macadamia nut oil, jasmine and patchouli. Deliciously scented thanks to the essential oils, I find the application works as a meditative ritual just before lights out. Come morning skin rises looking indulgently plumped like the best duckdown duvet. Perfect for all skin types, it makes for the perfect sleeping partner.
