Your Spring Beauty Essentials
Root Remedy
A third of women over 30 experience hair thinning in one form or another, often triggered by stress, hormonal shifts, or postpartum recovery. In a viral campaign fronted by mum-of-three and TikTok sensation Indy Clinton, who candidly documented her five-month hair transformation, Bouf Flouf Factor Growth Tonic, $39.95, struck a chord with women in Australia, flying off shelves at a rate of one bottle per minute. For a root-boosting styling solution, Essano Exper+ise Growth + Volume Volumising & Styling Spray, $25.99, is powered by caffeine to stimulate the scalp while delivering flexible lift, volume, and definition.
Body Sculptor
As we crawl out of hibernation mode and step into spring, it’s time to give the body an internal reset. Lymphatic drainage massage encourages the flow of lymph fluid to expel toxins, reduce water retention and puffiness, and dramatically sculpt and lift the body. Nicky Watson of My Beauty Room is a leader in the field and celebrity go-to, known for her transformative results that will leave you feeling lighter, lifted, and renewed.
Daily Elixir
Nourish the body from the inside out by integrating rituals that support both inner vitality and outer glow. An all-in-one complex with collagen, plant proteins, magnesium, vitamin C and D and hyaluronic acid, The Beauty Chef Body Collagen, $85, fortifies joint, muscle, skin and nerve health in one fell swoop. Practice at-home lymphatic drainage and body sculpting massage to release tight fascia and stimulate lymphatic flow with My Beauty Room Sculp + Detox Tool Kit, $99, the massage cup is paired with a coffee bean extract inclusive oil blend to firm the skin and slow down the development of fat cells.
Soft Chemistry
Like blossoms in bloom and air after rain, these spring scents carry a quiet radiance laced with modern synthetic notes. Emulating a moment of softness like the impressions on cotton, Narciso Rodriguez Radiante, EDP, 50ml, $197, is a fresh, luminous and green scent with notes of white aldehydes, clove blossom and orange flower, wrapped in clean musks, vetiver and cedar. For the chypre lover, Hermès Barénia Perfumed Hair Mist, $126, drapes a delicate veil of butterfly lily, patchouli and oakwood over the wearer like a halo. An intense floral-aquatic fragrance inspired by the underwater world, Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey, EDP Intense, $204, features the unique posidonia accord as an olfactive ode to the sea.
Restorative Retreat
The ultimate head-to-toe indulgence, East Day Spa x Augustinus Bader Methode Face and Body, $360, is a two-hour experience that combines advanced skincare technology with restorative body therapy. The session starts with a stimulating body brush and flowing massage, followed by a facial with fascia massage and LED therapy. Expect deep nourishment, visible renewal, and full-body rejuvenation.
Spring Refresh
Revive your glow and reveal a radiant complexion by adding protection against spring’s strengthening rays. A lightweight, milky serum with lactic acid, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, Clinique Moisture Surge Active Glow Serum, $85, exfoliates dead skin cells to reveal smooth skin. Using a stable form of vitamin C, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, together with kakadu plum and niacinamide, Milou Bright & Tight Brightening Vitamin C Serum, $69, plumps and brightens the skin and also prevents the growth of acne-causing bacteria to minimise the appearance of fine lines.
Lip Duo
The viral sensation that is Milk Makeup is known to never skip a beat. The new Balmade Electrolyte Lip Balm, $37, is a long-lasting glossy balm with water retention capabilities to keep the lips hydrated, plump and juicy. Layer this over a wash of the Cooling Water PH Jelly Tint, $52, for a custom pink lip combo that is unique to you and only you.
Modern Essentials
Even though TikTok romanticises slow mornings and 11am starts, the reality for most modern women is still deeply rooted in hustle culture – rushing from A to B while juggling work, pets, kids, and everything in between. Where time is tight and demands are high, the luxuries of convenience have turned into an everyday essential. The Beauty Chef have answered the call with two of their best-sellers, Glow and Collagen Boost, available in Sachets, $55, to supercharge your water with vitamin B and C, collagen, zinc and probiotics – all while on the go. Changing the energy game to provide clean energy, Manuka Phuel Collagen Buzz, $2.79, clean, sustained energy with a blend of caffeine, guarana, ginseng, manuka honey, and collagen—all packed into one sleek can.
