NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil, Was €24, Now €19.20
There is always a bottle of this versatile oil on my dressing table – I use it to moisturise my skin after a shower, it’s fast-absorbing and smells incredible. And, if the ends of my hair are looking a little dry or need more shine, I run some through the ends. Because you only need a little at a time, it lasts for ages too!

YonKa Phyto-Contour Eye Cream 15ml, Was €44.50, Now €33.38
My morning and nighttime skincare routine isn’t complete without using an eye cream. I have been using YonKa Phyto-Contour Eye Cream for a number of years now, it not only brightens and smooths my under-eye area, but the aloe vera and rosemary extracts help de-puff the area after a long day or freshen for the day ahead. This is one of my favourite products.

Avène Thermal Spring Water, Was €17.50, Now €13.13
I’m a big fan of Avène – I have sensitive skin and their products are super gentle but still feel luxurious. Skincare is as much about the ritual as it is about the results for me and Avène ticks both boxes. In summer, I love the Thermal Spring Water Spray. I keep it on my desk and spritz my face throughout the day for a cooling refresh.
Jolene Reid – Business Development Manager
Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, Was €43, Now €36.55
Beauty Flash Balm is my absolute favourite Clarins product. You can use it as a daily treatment, a base layer under your makeup or a face mask to tighten and firm the skin. The smell is gorgeous and within minutes, you can feel your skin soak it all in leaving you with a radiant glow.

La Roche Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50+ Sun Cream, Was €21, Now €16.80
I have always struggled to find an SPF that suited my very dry and sensitive skin. Many products I have used in the past would irritate my skin, leaving me without any protection from the sun. The La Roche Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50+ Sun Cream is perfect for my daily routine, and I would be lost without it!
Sophie Power – Marketing & Memberships Director
Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Cleansing Water, Was €6.5o, Now €4.88
I use the Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Cleansing Water every evening before cleansing and it’s a very effective makeup remover, crucial for an eyeliner lover like myself! The perfect first step in your nightly skincare routine.
Emily O’Neill – Marketing Account Executive
Caudalie Vinosun Very High Protection Water SPF50+, Was €33, Now €24.75
I am a huge fan of Caudalie’s products and an essential in my everyday routine is the Vinosun Very High Protection Water SPF50+. It can be used on the face, body and even the scalp and is suitable for adults and children. I adore how light it feels on the skin and it leaves the most gorgeous scent behind too!
