From gold moisturiser to charcoal teeth whiteners, this is our monthly beauty wishlist

Teresa Tarmey at-home facial kit
Anyone over twenty-five knows the game-changing benefit of a really great facial, but most of us see them as special-occasion one-offs, deterred by the difficulty of scheduling pamper time as well as the hefty expense. But change is in the March wind; Teresa Tarmey, who has been delivering results-driven treatments from her Kensington-based studio since 2016, has now launched a DIY equivalent of her signature 12-week skincare programme. Comprised of six entirely new products, the plan is tailor made to give optimal results, offering seriously high-tech alternatives to your bathroom cabinet staples. Lactic Acid Toner and Silicone Masks might sound scary, but they’re foolproof – and effective. Face your fears and do it anyway – the results are well worth it.
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter
Born and bred in London, makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury’s beauty range has swiftly established genuine cult status all over the world. We’re big fans of her ageless products, designed to enhance your confidence at every stage of life. Take the Hollywood Flawless Filter, launched this month. You might think that filters are just for the show-off selfie-generation, but even, airbrushed skin is the best base for even the most subtle day-to-day looks, and this primer/highlighter hybrid delivers soft-focus camera effect IRL and a dreamy A-list shimmer. We’re so over being Red Carpet Ready – 2018 glamour is all about low maintenance products with maximum effect.
GloPro MicroNeedling lip regeneration tool
In other Salon-Results-from-the-Comfort-of-your-Own-Home-news, American brand Beauty Bio is rolling out its first at-home MicroNeedling tool designed especially for the mouth. It’s been available via QVC since mid-Feb, but the last GloPro product to go on sale this side of the pond was only available for eight months – during which time it generated an insane $30 millions dollars – so if you’re worried about your pout, get with the programme, fast. Delicate skin around the mouth can be the first to form lines and wrinkles, and keeping lips plump and soft is one of winter’s worst uphill beauty battles. Used nightly alongside tried and tested balms, tiny needles on the roller open up the microchannels on the surface of the skin, guaranteeing a great result.
Janjira Launches 24K Gold Rituals Range
In ancient mythology, gods and royalty would bathe in gold as a symbol of their wealth and power. Today, any ostentatious spending by the crown is frowned upon – but no-one would see if Liz opted to prep for the upcoming royal wedding with a purifying cleansing balm or nourishing eye concentrate from luxe Thai beauty brand Janjira. Launching this month, its 24k Gold Rituals range offers a regal way to detoxify and combat aging, thanks to collagen-boosting flakes of 24 carat gold. Embodying the core elements of tranquil, traditional Thai culture, Janjira was created to harmonise ancient spiritual wisdom and innovative technology. Just like Her Royal Maj.
White Glo Charcoal Deep Stain Remover Toothpaste
Ah, charcoal. Activated coal started showing up in everything a couple of years back – from facemasks to cleansers to hipster ice cream. Why? Well, treated carbon is hyper-absorbent, meaning it can draw impurities out of the skin like a magnet, then stick to them so that they can be washed away with water. Now it’s time for teeth to take a turn. The new Charcoal Deep Stain Remover toothpaste works in exactly the same way, removing deep stains in the tooth enamel and freshening breath by blitzing stubborn food particles left after brushing. Just make sure to rinse.
