Fab Find of the Week: @reia_store Handcare and Bodycare 🥰 We applaud the actions of beauty brands – and there are plenty of them – to embrace sustainability. But Reia, which we recently encountered at 2025’s Chelsea Flower Show, are making it easier than any other we’ve seen. Reia make truly gorgeous all-natural handcare and bodycare, with a small collection thus far, free from SLS/SLES, parabens and mineral oils. The products smell LOVELY – FEN is lime leaf, amber and vetiver are the key notes listed, with a scent that is designed to be ‘reminscent of the tangled hawthorns and rich flora found in British hedgerows’, we’re told. SILVA, meanwhile, blends juniper, petitgrain and rose geranium, for ‘a restorative experience with lasting warmth and depth.’ For bodies, there is VERDE – green leaves and grasses (we get vetiver), to send ‘your senses into fields dappled with sunlight.’ To us, they’re all just beautifully aromatic and natural-smelling.

Beauty Steal - @ceraveuki Travel Sizes 🤍🛫 Sure, their packaging might not win design awards - but when it comes to soothing sensitive, dry, or overworked skin, this brand delivers every time. The Hydrating Cleanser and Moisturising Cream are two of the most dependable go-tos for anyone dealing with dryness, eczema, or post-sun irritation. This handy travel duo (£13.50) is ideal for holidays: the cleanser gently removes sunscreen and daily grime without stripping skin, while the cream gives a much-needed hydration and barrier boost. Both are fragrance-free, ceramide-rich, and gentle as anything - perfect for skin that’s easily thrown off by heat or active ingredients. Created by dermatologists, CeraVe’s mission has always been about strengthening the skin barrier, and it shows. Sexy? No. Effective? Absolutely… 🧴 Hydrating Cleanser (88ml) 🧴 Moisturising Cream (50ml) 💸 £13.50 #CeraVe #SensitiveSkin #SkincareThatWorks #TravelBeauty #DermApproved #BeautySteal #BeautyBibleLoves

Jo’s Scent Notes: @cologneandcotton Cinna 🤍 Slipping between crisp, clean sheets is one of life’s simplest pleasures — and long before The White Company was even a sparkle in Chrissie Rucker’s eye, Cologne & Cotton was already delivering bedlinen dreams from its charming spot on Kensington Church Street. To this day, their linens remain utterly sublime (don’t miss the hand-embroidered collections), but the magic doesn’t stop there. Step into a Cologne & Cotton store and you’ll discover a world of beautifully curated scented treasures — think Fragonard, Goutal Paris, Lalique, Durance, and the iconic Wiberg’s Pine Bath Essence (now sporting a chic Art Deco makeover). Recently, there was a long-overdue return visit - this time to their Marylebone store. The linen cupboard may be well stocked these days, but the draw was Cologne & Cotton’s newly relaunched and beautifully packaged fragrance collection. And what a joy to be introduced to the brand’s founders: sisters Vicky Shepherd and Jenny Deeming, who launched the business back in 1989 and remain very much at the helm.

Fab Find of the Week: @wildsmithskin Treatment Mists (and free Treescape soundscape!) 🖤✨ Tis fair to say we’re generally not that bothered about using a facial mist. Bit of a faff. But never let it be said that we don’t have an open mind, at Beauty Bible – and these have fair converted us. Not only do Wildsmith Skin Treatment Mists deliver an instant hydrating skin quench (and are fine to spritz over make-up), but they smell a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

Sarah’s Health Notes: Sit less, move more with ‘snacktivities’ Being physically active is vital for health: body, mind, spirit. We know you know, but just forgive me repeating that it can reduce the risk of developing illnesses including heart disease, cancer, type-2 diabetes and can improve your mood. Not to mention helping us all look better. As one doctor Sarah worked with said, ‘if exercise was a drug, it would be a blockbuster prescribed to everyone’.

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @makeuprevolution Wrap Lash (in Burgundy) 🌟 We’re not surprised by the current buzz around burgundy mascaras. It was make-up pro Terry de Gunzburg who first demo-ed to us how flattering this shade can be, decades ago, in her Paris atelier – and Jo’s been a fan, ever since. This great example, Revolution Wrap Lash, comes in at well under a tenner, though – just one reason to love it. Then there’s the grippy silicone wand, brilliant for lash extending – and the formula, which is a ‘tube’ formula. Link in bio to read our full review ✨ #weekendsteal #lash #mascara #affordablebeauty

✨ Weekend Steal: @scentologyofficial Body Mists ✨ Body mists are having a moment – but we can’t all stretch to the likes of Gucci and Chanel, for an all-over spritz. These, though, caught our eye (sleek, chic packaging that belies the affordable price), but more importantly our noses, with some really rather lovely blends. And what we love about body mists – which explains why they’re ripe for a revival – is that they offer the pleasure of spritzing and respritzing, to freshen up as the day wears on.

✨ Fab Find of the Week: @rollrdeo anti-odorants ✨ Who’d have thought it? Roll-on deodorants just got super-sexy. Meet Rollr, the brainchild of Milo Pinckney, who we first met last year. At that point, after four years involving over 40 formulations by three chemists, with 70 testers and (we’re told), around the same number of 3D-printed parts, this charming young man only had a prototype.

🌊 Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @seamagikskincare Magnesium Spa Flakes ✨ There are real triple-duty health and beauty benefits from this super-affordable bath soak, which hydrates and softens skin, helps heal skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, and is also the most efficient way to boost magnesium levels, as we learnt from an Oxford researcher many years ago. And magnesium is a vital mineral to keep topped up, needed for lots of body functions including blood and bone health (it relaxes blood vessels helping blood flow, helps regulate blood sugar levels and is as important as calcium for bones), as well as being deeply relaxing so you sleep better.

7 Secrets of Beauty & Wellbeing: Lara Morgan, founder of @iamscentered 💙 Some of you will already have entered our prize draw to win Scentered’s fabulous mood-shifting balms (And if not, enter via the link in our bio!) They’re the latest venture from one of the hardest-working and dynamic women we know, Lara Morgan. If you’ve ever used a posh hotel’s in-room (equally posh) toiletries, you probably have Lara to thank: her previous venture, Pacific Direct, grew into a global mega-business from the humblest of beginnings: Lara began by selling miniature sewing kits and and shower caps to hotels—a strategy suggested by her grandmother. Shower caps off to her! A few years ago, Lara founded the most beautiful aromatherapeutic range, Scentered. Frustrated by having pretty much to take a bath or shower to tap into the power of essential oils, she launched beautiful, skin-friendly balms which glide onto skin. Simply breathe - and reset. But in the introduction to her tips, Lara shared with us her rather different thoughts on beauty care, some of which took us slightly by surprise. Minimalist or not, there’s something refreshing about Lara’s approach.

Fab Find of the Week: @c.atherleylondon No.3 💖 We bring you the third in Cath Kidston Padgham’s geranium-tastic collections: Geranium No.3. They’ve become an absolute cult fave of so many people, and really are helping to revive a love of ‘pellies’, as they’re fondly known. We’ve raved about Geranium No.1 (which was based on the scent of Pelargonium radens). We’ve got the trumpets out again for Geranium No.2, based around Jo’s favourite scented geranium, Pelargonium tomentosum, with its fabulously velvety, almost furry leaves and minty scent. And now we have this newbie, an incredibly lemony scent based on Pelargonium Mabel Grey, another of Cath’s favourite scented ‘pellies.’ The fragrances are all 100% natural, cleverly blended from essential oils to recreate so perfectly the plants that inspired them.
