Scott Cornwall’s Colour restore range
The new Colour Restore range from Scott Cornwall restores depleted pigment levels, revitalising tired hair colours from over styling, heat and sun damage. Best of all, it’s for home use and, as there are no harsh chemicals, it can be used as often as you wish. Colour Restore can even be applied after a colour or even after bleaching or perming. Deep Red restores red tones; Iced Platinum banishes yellow and brassy tones and Cool Ash stops rusty, copper and orange tones. Don’t reach for the hair dye next time you need to sort out a hair colour or post holiday when the sun’s damage has altered your hue; let Colour Restore do the work.
£11.99, available from Boots stores nationwide and www.boots.com
Drink tea & support wildlife
Pukka’s new Peppermint and FairWild Licorice tea is our new favourite. Working in partnership with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), when you buy the tea, money will go towards the animal charity’s conservation work across the planet. There’s never been a better time for a cuppa!
£2.25 from www.pukkaherbs.com
Touch screen watches
You’ve got your touch screen phone, camera and tablet, now the latest fashion gadget catching our eye is the new Ilumi+ Series watch from ODM. Pick it up in black or brown or, if you’re after a splash of colour this summer, choose bright pink or blue! Light up the LED screen in an instant with its easy swipe action – just as you would unlock your iPhone.
£89, limited stockists: see www.cisionwire.com/o-d-m
Immune system support
Gwyneth Paltrow raved about the benefits in her blog, ‘Gloop’, and now we’re all trying to get our hands on the new Unbeelievable products: Bee Prepared Max Strength and Daily Defence. Take to help boost the immune support system and fight colds and infections this summer.
Daily Defence, £9.99, and Max Strength, £11.99, from independent health food stores including www.revital.com
We’re also got our eye on athletes’ favourite: Bimuno Immunaid. This food supplement specifically targets the gut, the body’s power centre for peak performance, endurance and recovery. An increase in levels of ‘good’ gut bacteria is the result, strengthening the immune system.
£9.99 from Boots and www.bimuno.com
Champneys Sports therapy range for men
Whether you’re working out or winding down, products from the new men’s range from Champneys are a must have this summer. The 48-hour High Performance Anti-Perspirant Spray (£3.50) will keep you fresh and ready for the toughest sport on the hottest day. Wind down with the Cooling Muscle Rub (£10) and replenish with the Energising Face Scrub (£7). The best bit? You don’t need to do a workout to enjoy these products!
