Skin feeling dry, tight and scaly? This silky lotion uses prebiotics and shea butter to support your natural microbiome, and provide relief from dry, irritable patches.

CND SolarOil Nail & Cuticle Conditioner, £11.25 (was £11.95)

Highly rated by the pros, this nourishing oil is great for soothing ragged cuticles – but it can also be swept onto other rough areas, including hands and feet. It’s especially good for putting moisture back in, where regular hand washing has stripped it away. Jojoba oils and vitamin E work together to deliver deep hydration and create stronger, healthier nails over time.

Garnier Hair Mask For Dry Hair, £3.50 (was £6.99)

If your hair is dry, dull or brittle, add this into your routine to see strands come back to life. Using a blend of banana and shea butters, it absorbs excess oil while conditioning parched strands. Apply to wet hair, leave for a few minutes and then rinse out – your hair will thank you for it.

Footner Exfoliating Socks, £10 (were £19.99)

Now is best time to try these exfoliating socks. We’re not exaggerating when we say they cause your foot skin to shred. Leave them on for sixty minutes, and let the mandelic acid-formula sink in. After about four days, you’ll see the peeling and shredding begin, revealing super-smooth skin underneath. Just don’t be tempted to peel anything off yourself – leave it to flake naturally, instead.

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+, £8.98 (was £9.99)

Unlike some gloopy, heavy SPFs, Biore’s lightweight formula isn’t sticky and absorbs almost instantly, leaving make-up to glide on easily. Previously only sold abroad, you can now find it online, but be quick – it sells out regularly. It’s completely sheer, so doesn’t coat your skin in a ghostly pallor, either.
