Following its UK launch at the start of 2021, cult US beauty brand Heritage Store has added four new products to the range. This is great news as the products were previously only available in the US.  The range is a fusion of skin care and self-care – harnessing pure, potent ingredients to inspire positivity with nature’s healing properties. There are no artificial additives or dyes and not a single harsh preservative, phthalate or sulphate. Just clean, feel good skin and hair care.

The new UK releases include:  Rosewater Moisturiser (£18.49) This lightweight moisturiser offers a burst of soothing hydration. With rose complex to refresh, hydrate and soothe skin, hyaluronic acid to minimise the look of fine lines, and niacinamide to balance skin tone, the moisturiser is suitable for dry and combination skin types and boasts the Heritage Store signature rose scent.  Blemish Toner (£13.49) This works to reveal your best skin with a gentle but effective formula. Niacinamide nourishes skin, while salicylic acid dissolves impurities.  Formulated specifically to prevent and treat troubled complexions, with tea tree and peppermint to cleanse pores and invigorate skin.  Ancient Healing Clay (£12.49) A new twist on a centuries-old beauty ritual. Packed with minerals, bentonite clay enriches and purifies skin while drawing out impurities — leaving nothing but a radiant, glowing, deeply-cleansed complexion.  Mix with Apple Cider Vinegar instead of water for elevated smoothing and clearing benefits.

Rosewater Cleanser (£12.49) A p-H balanced milky wash made from Heritage Store’s signature Rosewater with Rose Complex which helps to refresh, hydrate and soothe skin, leaving it soft and supple. Featuring a lightweight texture designed to cleanse and protect skin without over-drying. Nourishing grapeseed oil and squalane softly buff away impurities. Suitable for all skin types.  Rosewater & Glycerin Hydrating Facial Mist (£11.49) Replenish dry, tight or weather-stressed skin with a medley of three dew-boosting ingredients. Damask rose oil + Vor-Mag™ Water + glycerin.  Glycerin locks in moisture, while Vor-mag water is believed to raise the energy to a higher vibration.

US brand Wonderskin have introduced the new Purevoc Skincare collection to the UK market.  The range is packed with 20+ active ingredients and provides an instant glow which lasts all day.  Made of up of an eye cream, face cream and corrective serum, all products are vegan and cruelty-free and are formulated to keep skin moisturised for over 30 hours, with hyaluronic acids working on the surface and deep down for visibly plumping hydration.  Imperfections are blurred with light-difffusing pearl pigments.  All Day Glow Multi-Corrective Face Cream (£35) A moisturiser that gives you confidence to go truly makeup-free. This luxurious formula dramatically brightens and smooths for a bare-skin radiance.  Niacinamide helps treat fine lines and dark spots, vitamin C, antioxidants and plant extracts brighten, protect and tighten while youthful firmness and elasticity is renewed, via organic collagen stimulation.  All Day Glow Multi-Corrective Serum (£45) gives an even-toned amplified glow that lasts. Vitamin C and plant extracts brighten and tighten.  Dark spots appear minimized and skin looks firmer thanks to vitamin-rich green algae extracts. Super-strong antioxidants repair from within, and protect against environmental damage.  Collagen production is stimulated by a plant-derived ingredient, and wrinkles appear 32% reduced.  All Day Glow Multi-Corrective Eye Cream (£30) A cocktail of actives delivers a bright-eyed glow, diffuses shadows, smooths puffiness and treats fine lines.  Giving a softer, firmer, highlighted effect that just gets better the more you use it.  The range is vegan, paraben-free, gluten-free, cruelty-free. Responsibly formulated with safe ingredients.  Available now from eu.wonderskin.

 

New from Sensory Retreats is the Divine Glow Self Heating Face Mask (£15 for a box of 3) – the perfect way to relax and give tired, lacklustre skin a much-needed boost.  Each gold-foiled cloth mask heats up when unwrapped and placed over the face using specialist thermotherapy technology.  These pampering masks help to encourage increased blood flow and circulation and can help to promote a healthier, natural glow. Facial muscles are relaxed, and senses soothed for a truly divine at-home spa experience.
