August 2016: Must-Have Beauty Product Guide

Sebopure by Clarol

Acne is caused by the build-up of dirt and bacteria in excess sebum which can lead to pore blockages and infection. Sebopure, by UK acne skincare brand Clarol, is an innovative new anti-acne treatment that controls acne by keeping sebum production pure using a patented preserver ingredient derived from wild mustard leaf oil. Via purifying sebum production, pore blockages and inflammation are reduced and sebum production itself begins to naturally diminish.

Sebopure costs £12.95 (50l) and is available here.

Amouage Lilac Love

Created by Creative Director, Christopher Chong the latest fragrance, Lilac Love, adds to The Secret Garden Collection.

Sandalwood lends its charismatic sensuality in the base, along with the richness of patchouli and soft facets of vanilla to create a floral symphony with a musky veil. Presented in Amouage’s iconic crystal bottle in a delicate lilac hue with silver and white detailing, accentuated by a purple Swarovski crystal in the cap.
