From decadently delicate scented hair mists and innovative serums to adorable<br />
eye masks and SPF drops, here’s what the <strong>03</strong> team are testing this month.<br />
1. Model product<br />
Developed by French-born<br />
former top model Caroline<br />
Lorinet in conjunction with<br />
renowned cosmetic scientist<br />
Ray Townsend and with<br />
extremely sensitive skin in mind,<br />
the eponymous brand works to<br />
a carefully considered four-step<br />
routine including a hydrating<br />
cleanser, refreshing toner<br />
(both $85) and two serums<br />
(Smoothing and Supercharge,<br />
$142 each), drawing the best<br />
of nature around the world<br />
to support, nourish, repair<br />
and improve cell turnover of<br />
the dermal layers. Available<br />
at Ballantynes.<br />
3. Bank on it<br />
Sad fact: our bodies<br />
produce less collagen<br />
every year, and factors<br />
like pollution can speed<br />
up collagen degradation,<br />
leading to visible signs of<br />
ageing such as sagging<br />
skin, hyperpigmentation<br />
and fine lines. Good<br />
news: Dermalogica’s new<br />
Pro-Collagen Banking<br />
Serum ($180) promises<br />
to help future-proof<br />
your skin by preserving<br />
its existing collagen,<br />
protecting it against the<br />
signs of premature ageing,<br />
while also supporting<br />
resilient, visibly plumper,<br />
more luminous and<br />
less wrinkly skin.<br />

4. Heart eyes<br />
We’re head over heels for these little<br />
cuties from Lush’s limited edition<br />
Valentine’s Day release. The I Heart<br />
You eye mask pads ($8) will show<br />
tired eyes a bit of TLC with delicate<br />
rose water (using blooms gathered<br />
from the beautiful Rose Valley in<br />
Bulgaria, apparently) and juicy fresh<br />
aloe. Pop a pair in the fridge until<br />
you’re ready to use, then lay back and<br />
feel the love on your peepers.<br />

2. Dynamic duo<br />
Beloved Aussie beauty<br />
brand Bondi Sands<br />
recently dropped a dream<br />
skincare duo, just in<br />
time for another savage<br />
downunder summer. Its<br />
debut retinol serum, Baby<br />
Face ($33), is infused with<br />
0.5% retinol along with<br />
watermelon extract and<br />
squalane. Apply at night,<br />
and if you’re a newcomer<br />
to the magical but potent<br />
powers of retinol, ease<br />
in with once-a-week use.<br />
Then by day ensure your<br />
newly dewy skin is well<br />
protected with Sunny<br />
Daze SPF 50+ Hydrating<br />
Face Fluid Drops ($30),<br />
complete with hydrating<br />
hibiscus fruit extract,<br />
repairing Vit E and<br />
soothing aloe vera.<br />
5. Hair for it<br />
Sophisticated users of scent will know<br />
the key to success is in subtle layering.<br />
Parisian perfumers Diptyque know it too<br />
and have added a hair mist in signature<br />
scent Fleur de Peau ($107 at Mecca) to<br />
its covetable retinue, lending a delicate<br />
yet luxurious fragrance with notes of iris,<br />
musk, ambrette and pink peppercorn<br />
that lights up when your hair moves.<br />
Pro tip: to help hair absorb the mist more<br />
effectively, rinse with cold water after<br />
washing, to strengthen the capillary fibres.
