Problem Solvers<br />

When luggage space is at a<br />

premium, multi-tasking products<br />

are a godsend, particularly<br />

when they don’t count towards<br />

your paltry hand luggage liquid<br />

allowance.<br />

I’m a big fan of PÜR’s 4 in 1 Pressed<br />

Mineral Makeup Foundation (£29).<br />

As well as giving great, lightweight<br />

coverage and a shine-free finish,<br />

it helps to nourish skin with<br />

ingredients such as lactic acid and<br />

shea butter. It also has an SPF of 15.<br />

While that’s not enough for warmer<br />

weather, it’s handy for cooler days.<br />

Choose from 11 shades at www.<br />

purcosmetics.co.uk.<br />

unpronounceable chemicals, these<br />

products are packed with natural<br />

ingredients such as aloe vera,<br />

seabuckthorn extract, hazelnut<br />

extract, ylang-ylang and, of course,<br />

roses grown on Alteya’s farm. See<br />

www.lovelula.com.<br />

According to The Sleep Council,<br />

74 percent of people in the UK<br />

don’t get enough sleep. If you’re<br />

struggling to drop off at night, try<br />

Tisserand’s new Sleep Better Bath<br />

Salts (£13.95), Bath Oil (£12.95)<br />

or Bath & Shower Wash (£11.95).<br />

They’re fragranced with jasmine,<br />

sandalwood and lavender essential<br />

oils to help promote a feeling of<br />

relaxation. While subtle, the scent<br />

is lovely and calming. Available<br />

from Boots and www.tisserand.<br />

com.<br />

If you’re always reapplying hand<br />

lotion because your hands feel<br />

dry, it may be time to swap to a<br />

gentler, more natural handwash.<br />

Personally, I have to avoid any with<br />

sodium lauryl sulphate, as it makes<br />

my hands so dry and cracked they<br />

end up bleeding. I tend to use<br />

bars of soap instead, but also like<br />

vegetable oil-based liquid soaps,<br />

such as those by The Castilian<br />

Soap Company. They’re available<br />

in a range of fragrances, including<br />

peppermint, lavender and rose<br />

geranium. If your hands are supersensitive,<br />

try the fragrance-free<br />

option. From £8 at www.lovelula.<br />

com.<br />

Hair looking a bit ‘meh’? Try<br />

treating it to Alteya Organics’ Rose<br />

Otto Invigorating Shampoo and<br />

Conditioner (£14.20 each). They’re<br />

formulated to help strengthen<br />

hair, reduce frizz and increase<br />

shine. Forget ingredients lists of
