Top 3 beauty products every woman should be using

Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at shared the holy-grail products every woman needs to be using.

A cleanser, SPF, and hair oil are must-haves within beauty routines. 

A cleanser is crucial for healthy skin as it removes dirt, oil, and other impurities for flawless skin. This skincare step not only cleanses the face and removes dirt, but also prevents breakouts and premature skin ageing, helping you maintain a healthy, youthful, and blemish-free complexion. 

The is a go-to of mine due to its gentle formula that soothes and restores the skin’s appearance and texture. 

SPF is non-negotiable and should be in everyone’s daily skincare routine. 

Even on cooler, cloudier days, our skin is exposed to the sun’s UV rays which can be harmful to unprotected skin and even lead to damage. These damages include sunburn, pigmentation changes, and wrinkles which can impact the skin’s texture and appearance. In some cases, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin cancer. 

Applying SPF daily prevents these damages and protects the skin from harmful rays. I recommend the for its lightweight, non-clumping texture that absorbs quickly for a natural finish and maximum protection. 

Hair oil has many benefits and should be regularly used. This treatment can strengthen and protect the hair from external stressors while improving its appearance and shine. Regularly applying hair oil can also reduce breakage and even encourage hair growth for longer, fuller locks. Hair oils also target the scalp, reducing dandruff and improving its health through exfoliation. 

I recommend using this deeply nourishing treatment a couple of times a week or more depending on the hair’s moisture levels. The is a nutrient-rich treatment that revitalises strands to promote a happy scalp and healthy-looking locks. Apply the syrup throughout damp hair before washing; massage from root to tip and allow the formula to penetrate strands before rinsing and styling.
