Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: Boots Glow Banana skincare

Last week – here – we wrote about some of our favourite products for face-waking at this time of year, when tiredness, stress and general rubbishy weather can definitely dim our glow.

But here's a new, exclusive-to-Boots trio that you really need on your radar, at super-affordable prices – just a fiver each.

Now, don't click away after spotting the 'banana' in the name. It's subtly banana-scented, not overwhelmingly so. And the bananas are relevant, in the mix; they're a natural and general source of AHA/fruit acids, together with vitamins A and E, for brightening.

Here's the range – and our thoughts.

Boots Glow Banana Brightening Mask. In just a few minutes (we like to putit on while brushing our teeth)m this is properly face-waking, featuring niacinamide and humectant glycerine, along the banana extract. Expect refined pores, even tone and a healthy look.

Boots Glow Banana Peel and Polish. Gentle, skin-friendly, non-drying and non-scratchy, this exfoliates via lactic acid and glycerine, plus those bananas. We've tried using this before the mask for a double-whammy, and not had any negative reactions, even on our touchy skins.

Boots Glow Banana Toner. Again, niacinamide and glycerine, plus the bananas. This is the product we're least convinced by (perhaps because we're not toner-y people generally), but it's definitely a nice final swipe after removing the mask and/or exfoliator.

We're a little bit (fruit)bowled over, actually.
