The British climate is not kind to faces. It is either too wet, too cold, or (for three days in July) confusingly hot. Your skin doesn't know what it's doing. Neither do you.
We have curated a list of products that solve the specific problems of being alive in the UK. We focus on results, not packaging. If it smells good, that's a bonus. Ideally, it just stops us from looking like gremlins.
BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask
This is the viral K-Beauty mask that everyone is losing their minds over. It goes on white and turns clear as it absorbs. Basically, it marinates your face in collagen while you sleep.
Maybelline Instant Anti Age Eraser Concealer
You have dark circles. It's January. The sun sets at 3pm. We all have dark circles. This specific tube is in almost every makeup bag in the country for a reason. It deletes tired. It deletes "I had too much wine." It is cheaper than eight hours of sleep.
The Verdict: The delete button.Bio-Oil Skin Care Oil
It smells a bit like your mum's bathroom cabinet, but it works. Scars, stretch marks, dry patches from the radiator being on too high? Slather this on. It's orange, oily, and reliable.
The Verdict: The classic.Dots for Spots Pimple Patches
Stop picking your face. We know you do it. These tiny stickers stop you. They also suck the bad stuff out. It's gross. It's satisfying. It prevents you from making a small problem into a scar.
The Verdict: Adult supervision for your hands.Regaine For Men Extra Strength Foam
Look, you can buy "thickening caffeine shampoo" and "root lifting spray" or you can buy the science. Regaine is the nuclear option. It takes commitment. You have to use it forever. But if you want to keep your hair, this is the path.
The Verdict: The last stand.L'Oreal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss Conditioner
Dull hair is sad hair. This conditioner uses glycolic acid (usually for your face) to make your hair shiny. Like, suspiciously shiny. Like a cartoon character.
The Verdict: The gloss boss.
