Reap the benefits of trendy probiotics to improve your gut health and wellbeing

GUT health is key to our overall wellbeing and, accordingly, probiotics are becoming very popular.

I look at three products with added ingredients designed to target specific concerns, while our Beauty Editor puts toning face mists to the test.

HEALTH

6

All support the immune system.

Four strains of broad-spectrum live bacteria.

WOMEN’S HEALTH

BUDGET

6

• Sukin Hydrating Mist Toner, £7.95, 125ml, boots.com -

A natural, multi-use spray blending chamomile and rosewater to soothe, purify and refresh tired skin.

Can be used before or after cleansing and over make-up.

Has only six ingredients and for a natural product it toned my skin better than expected.

It doesn’t have the best smell – think chamomile tea – but I prefer products naturally scented rather than fragranced with chemicals. It absorbed well, leaving no shine, and is good value.

MID

6

• Nuxe, Very Rose Toning Mist, £15.50, 200ml, escentual.com -

A toning and moisturising face mist formulated with allantoin to soothe and soften the skin. Use morning and night around your existing skincare routine.

It tended to sit on my skin so I dabbed off excess product in the mornings but with more time in the evenings it sank in.

Can also be used to aid make-up removal, which is a bonus.

Suitable for the most sensitive skin types and the rosewater leaves a beautiful fragrance.
