Editors Picks: Beauty We Used Up This Summer
The products that have earned a permanent place in our beauty routines all summer long. From glow-giving skincare and clever makeup to fragrance and the small daily rituals that make all the difference. Consider this our autumn beauty edit, beacause these favourites are coming with us into the new season.
Amanda Duverell
My beauty routine is one of those little rituals I genuinely look forward to — a true moment of self-care. I take my time tapping and massaging in each product. I’m all about healthy, glowing skin and choose products that are easy to use, deeply hydrating and radiance-boosting, leaving my skin feeling fresh and balanced. I tend to keep my routine quite consistent, with a few favourites I always come back to.
Dr. Ceuracle, Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence
I love this essence because it leaves my skin incredibly hydrated and gives it that fresh, healthy glow I’m always after.
Oral health is something I consider part of my beauty routine, and I’ve been using a tongue scraper for many years. It’s the first thing I do when I wake up, before drinking a big glass of water. Removing the impurities that have collected on my tongue overnight is the most satisfying part of my routine.
I prefer to keep my makeup light and natural, and this makes me look more awake without feeling as though I’m wearing a lot of makeup — which I love.
The Ordinary, Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
I use this exfoliating toner for everything: my face and décolletage, my heels when they’re feeling rough, my underarms when they need a little reset and my scalp before washing my hair. It’s one of those products where I always notice a difference when I use it.
This is a new obsession of mine — the perfect little skin pick-me-up when I want an instant boost of hydration and that fresh, dewy glow.
Emma Unckel
I love effective products that also make my routine feel a little more luxurious. Skincare with long-term benefits, clever makeup and a great fragrance will always have a place in my bathroom.
Lancôme Absolue, Longevity MD Intercept The Cream
A rich yet beautifully light cream that leaves my skin smoother, firmer and full of glow. I use it both day and night because I love its focus on keeping the skin strong and healthy for longer.
ELEMIS, Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm
It melts away makeup while leaving my skin soft and comfortable. I already love the original, but the Black Cherry scent makes it completely irresistible.
Björk and Berries, Ros Eau de Parfum
A wild and modern take on rose rather than something traditionally romantic. It feels clean and sensual, and makes me smell as though I’ve just walked through a rose field covered in morning dew.
Charlotte Tilbury, Magic Vanish Colour Corrector
Like a magic wand for areas that need smoothing and brightening. The small, flat compact is perfect for keeping in my handbag.
L’Oréal Paris, nfaillible 24H Brow Lamination Brow Gel
I never leave the house without brushing up my brows with this brilliant gel. It gives my face an instant lift, frames it beautifully and keeps every hair in place all day.
Aude Asklöv
Today, at 49, my skincare routine has to meet three requirements: it needs to be quick, effective and smell amazing. I no longer have time for unnecessary products that don’t deliver. These are five products I’ve used to the very last drop.
Like drinking a large glass of water first thing in the morning.
La Roche-Posay, Cicaplast Baume B5+ SPF50
Perfect for long days in the sun or after a treatment.
MAC, Lustreglass Lipstick in Business Casual
The perfect shade, from a day at the office to a casual event.
Because glow starts from within.
Sanna Fischer Nordström
My beauty routine is quick and focused on hydration, preferably with a few glow-giving products. I like products that are easy to use and leave my skin looking fresh, luminous and well cared for.
All I Am Beauty, Perfect Eye Pencil in Double Espresso
This eye pencil comes with me wherever I go. The brown shade complements my eyes perfectly and feels softer than black, while still defining them and making me look more awake.
CAIA, Wake Me Up Under Eye Brightening Cream
I love this brightening cream for evening out and illuminating the under-eye area. I also use it beneath my brows for a subtle touch of shimmer — and since discovering it, I’ve stopped using concealer altogether.
Face Formula, Essential Formula
My absolute favourite face cream ever. It’s perfect for my sensitive skin and has kept it hydrated for years. I use it every day, morning and night.
MERIT, Great Skin Instant Glow Serum
A wonderfully hydrating serum that keeps my skin moisturised around the clock, while creating a more even skin tone and plenty of beautiful glow.
A deeply hydrating mask that I sleep in a few nights a week. I love how soft, moisturised and refreshed it makes my skin feel the following morning.
