WHY WE LOVE IT: If your skin is feeling thirsty, look no further than this ultra-quenching mask. Full of minerals, electrolytes and active ingredients, it’s like a drink for the skin. It provides instant relief, while leaving behind a dewy sheen that’s both luminous and healthy-looking. Extra points for the lightweight, gel texture that absorbs fast and has a cooling effect that’s perfect for this time of year.

Overnight Glow Enzyme Peel, £45
BEST FOR: Gentle Exfoliation
WHY WE LOVE IT: If you want to exfoliate your skin gently, this enzyme peel is for you. Full of softening nutrients, it never strips the skin, while pineapple and pumpkin enzymes gently boost cell turnover to get rid of dead cells and dryness. The result? Better glow and more radiance from the first use. Extra points go to the added spirulina, which has a cooling and depuffing effect on the skin.
KEY BENEFITS: Resurfaces skin; supports skin’s barrier function; depuffs and cools.

WHY WE LOVE IT: A great everyday staple, this gentle cleanser is great for all skin types – even if you suffer with sensitivities. It has a satisfying foam to it that sweeps away all traces of dirt and make-up seamlessly – no need for a double cleanse with this one. The added bergamot and grapefruit waters leave skin looking brighter too and more refined – you can expect skin tone to look more even and smooth. You’ll love the added pineapple and pumpkin enzymes, too, which swiftly exfoliate the skin as you cleanse.
