With summer events and Christmas parties just around the corner, we all want to look and feel our radiant best. After a long winter, our skin can often feel a little dull or lackluster, and it’s the perfect time for a revitalising boost.
As a formulator with a background in health science, I know the secret to a real, lasting glow isn’t one single “magic” product. It’s about a simple, consistent ritual that smooths your skin’s texture, deeply hydrates, and nourishes from head to toe.
Forget complicated routines. Here is my simple, 3-step formulator’s guide to achieving a beautiful holiday glow.
Step 1: Create the Perfect Canvas (Exfoliate)
The first and most important step to radiant skin is exfoliation. You cannot hydrate or nourish a complexion that is covered in a layer of dull, built-up skin cells.
True radiance comes from skin that is smooth. A smooth surface reflects light, giving you that “lit-from-within” look.
My Formulator’s Tip: Use a gentle, natural exfoliator 1-2 times per week. Our award-winning Coffee Scrubs use invigorating, finely ground, organic Fairtrade coffee beans to gently buff away dullness without stripping your skin’s natural moisture barrier.
For Her: Our Espresso Coffee Face Scrub uses fine coffee grounds and sugar to promote a brighter, silky-smooth complexion.
For Him: Our Men’s Charcoal Coffee Face Scrub combines Fairtrade coffee with activated charcoal to deeply cleanse and promote a clear-looking complexion.
Step 2: Add a High-Performance Power-Pack (Serum & Oil)
Now that your canvas is smooth and prepped, it’s ready to absorb high-performance, active ingredients. This is where you can make the biggest change in your skin’s appearance and feel.
My Formulator’s Tip: Choose a product based on your skin’s needs. A serum is a potent, targeted treatment that delivers concentrated ingredients, while a face oil is a luxurious, nourishing blend that is perfect for drier skin types.
The Serum: Our Super Boost Bakuchiol Serum is our ‘Liquid Gold.’ This potent, plant-based serum is your secret weapon for a radiant complexion. It works to smooth the look of fine lines and promotes a visibly brighter, more even-toned glow.
The Oil: Our Revitalising Face Oil is a rich, nourishing blend that deeply hydrates dry skin. It’s perfect for locking in moisture and leaving you with a soft, dewy glow.

Step 3: Don’t Forget Your Body (Radiate Head-to-Toe)
A true holiday glow doesn’t stop at your neckline. So many people focus on their face but forget that their arms, legs, and décolletage will be on show at summer parties and events.
My Formulator’s Tip: The most effective way to get a luminous, all-over sheen is to apply a body oil to damp skin just after a shower. This traps the moisture on the skin’s surface, locking in hydration for hours.
For a Luminous Sheen: Massage our Luxury Body Oil onto damp skin to lock in moisture and get a beautiful, subtle glow.
For Daily Hydration: Our rich, non-greasy Ultimate Hydrating Hand and Body Cream is a multi-award-winner for a reason. It’s perfect for hands, elbows, and anywhere that needs lasting, non-greasy hydration.
