Most of the products I use are tried and tested to deliver amazing results. But sometimes, to reveal the true power of a product, they need to be used in tandem with another equally powerful product. I am obsessed with my April top 10 because each one has a secret magic on its own, but their true alchemic magic is revealed when used with another incredible cream, balm or oil. Isn’t that true of so much in life? What’s sun without water? What’s oil without vinegar? What’s sex without chocolate!? Just kidding, those last ones stand on their own, lol! Without further ado, here’s my April top 10:

Truly Necessary

I use both of these daily for many reasons, mostly because they’re necessary (so cheeky, I know!). But seriously – Nécessaire Body Wash is a multi-vitamin skin cleanser and is designed to help sensitive skin because it’s gentle and doesn’t leave a residue or strip away any of the good stuff. The Body Lotion is also multi-vitamin and is pH optimized to nourish the skin. The Niacinamide in both help support the skin’s surface, which come summer months we all need.

Eye-Catching Accessories

I know that some don’t fully get the power of candles, but I love being surrounded by their powerful glow, smell, and sound. These 100% natural soy wax and natural dye by Un Art de Vivre (She is a Dream collection) candles are pure magic. Each one more beautiful than the other, they make for great decoration and conversation pieces. Couple that with the Colore vase for design appeal on any bookshelf or tabletop. I love the elegance and simplicity of both an empty vase or one filled with flowers.

The Perfect Glow

Keep me Sunkissed Face Tan Water leaves your skin glowing, nourished and toned. How? It is specially formulated to hydrate with anti-ageing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, witch hazel water, red maple extract and the yummiest vanilla scent. A simple spray and voila! Glowing, sun-kissed skin!

Plump & Go

I am a sucker for delicious scents, and grapefruit with lavender is that perfectly balanced blend of invigorating citrus and deep calm. The Scarlet Local Pure Glow Stick is a balm that makes you glow from the inside out. But before you glow, you must mask up and the Vivier Ultra Purifying Clay Mask is just the place to start. It extracts all the skin’s impurities while also firming your facial skin. It gives you that flawless look without the shine. Combine these two steps with the Clarins Lip Perfector and your face is ready to go! I love the textured gel-like lip colour that plumps your lips with the subtlest shine. These make up the perfect trio for hydration and that youthful glow.

Powerful Relaxation

The Palo Essential oil reduces inflammation and boosts your immune system. Improving chronic pain and reducing anxiety or stress, this oil is the most accessible way to calm and relax you. A few drops on your temples, neck and heart (or even the soles of your feet!) and you can begin the journey toward positivity and lightness. I use the oils post-massage as well, just as an added pick me up. As part of an anti-stress routine, I love the Corpa Nutritive moisturizing body treatment which nourishes the skin head to toe. Again, the citrusy fragrance lends to both a delicate botanical scent that I just can’t live without.
