Simon Ourian MD Facial Sculpting T-Bar, £69
If a snatched jawline is on your spring to do list, then this new facial tool is a must.
Created by renowned cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Simon Ourian, the Facial Sculpting T-Bar uses micro-vibration technology to boost microcirculation and enhance the absorption of your serums and moisturisers.

Fresh from launch, Oriflame’s Novage+ Restore Day Cream is fast becoming a desk drawer essential for beauty editors.
Formulated for mature, estrogen-depleted skin, it delivers long-lasting hydration while strengthening the skin barrier.
What sets it apart is its multi-corrective action – it not only smooths and plumps but also revives radiance in a way that’s instantly noticeable.
The addition of SPF 30 makes it the perfect protective base for spring days, too. Think of it as your skin’s personal trainer and bodyguard, all in one jar.
