OLAY Essentials Glow Perfectors have got a hot new look courtesy of jewellery designer Daisy Knights. Her exclusive Limited Edition designs are set to “bring the beach to your dressing table” this summer, and who wouldn’t love that.

Still, as lovely and all as the look is – it’s what’s inside that counts.

Beautiful Skin Cleansing Oil, €14.25, No7

Cleansing oils have become one of the biggest beauty trends of late and we’re devotees in the Her.ie office too. If you’re one of those who worry that an oil will leave your skin greasy, this might be the one for you, as tests showed that 85% of women felt it didn’t leave a greasy residue on their skin and 90% agreed it removed waterproof make-up instantly. The key in this new product is Oleic acid, found in olive oil and Avocado oil, which helps to protect and hydrate by keeping skin soft and supple. Thanks to its high content of essential fatty acids, Rosehip seed oil also works to rebuild the skin’s barrier function helping to lock in moisture.

Massage 2-3 pumps of the light-weight oil into dry hands and sweep across the face, including the eyelids and lashes. Once all of your make-up and impurities have melted away, rinse off with warm water and see the oil transform into a milk, leaving no residue.
