Bridal skincare

Every bride’s worse nightmare in the run-up to her big day can be avoided by packing this tiny pot of miracle spot treatment. The shale extract here has antibacterial properties which soothes inflamed skin.

• Crème de la Mer Moisturising Lotion

One of the key elements to the bronzed, barely detectable make-up look is great skin which makes Crème de la Mer’s moisturiser with its transformative properties a wise investment. This lightweight lotion version of the cream is ideal for warmer climates.
