Origins RitualiTea
According to Origins, one of the top trends emerging in the beauty industry is the use of natural ingredients and the consumer’s wish to know how products are made and where they come from. This has inspired the RitualiTea range, a collection of four Face Masks and Cleansing Body Masks based on tea rituals from around the world and harnessing the wellbeing benefits of tea: Matcha Madness; Oolong-La; Feeling Rosy; Mind Over Mate. RitualiTea will be available from October at Origins travel retail locations across the Americas and Asia Pacific.
Origins GinZing Peel-Off Mask To Refine and Refresh
This refreshing, peel-off mask clears clogged pores and lifts away a layer of skin to reveal a fresh complexion underneath.
Aveda Tulasara
Ayurvedic tradition states that we are all made up of five elements: infinity; air; fire; water and earth, and that keeping all five in balance is the key to wellbeing. The new Tulasara range from Aveda, named after the Sanskrit word for ‘moving toward balance’, is a skin care collection based on this Ayurvedic tradition.
The two-step Tulasara Radiant Awakening Ritual comprises a Radiant Facial Dry Brush to exfoliate the skin, followed by an application of the nourishing Oleation Oil.
Also available are three Tulasara Concentrates: 97% naturally-derived treatment products that help achieve a balanced complexion. The targeted formulas: Firm, Bright and Calm each contain certified organic ginger extract, a traditional Ayurvedic anti-oxidant.
Clinique For Men 2-in-1 Skin Hydrator & Beard Conditioner
This treatment addresses the issue of what happens to men’s skin under a beard. Often neglected, it can become dry and irritated. This moisturiser not only grooms facial hair but also hydrates the skin underneath. Fast-absorbing and lightweight, it softens facial hair and moisturises without adding shine.
Make-up
