ON TREND: THIS WEEK'S BEAUTY ESSENTIALS TRIED & TESTED

Bioderma's Anti-Redness dermatological BB Cream promises seven skincare benefits, 'a perfect marriage of high-tech biological skincare and colour expertise'.

It's a welcome new weapon in the battle against the redness of rosacea, reducing the intensity of the problem and stopping it from reappearing.

BB Cream employs a plants extracts including Gingko biloba, Green tea and Soy extract to tackle the problem by inhibiting the production of VEF (or Vascular endothelial growth factor) which is the main cause of redness.

The cream also covers redness as it treats and soothes.

It's one of life's little pleasures – kicking back with a bubblebath by candlelight after a long, hard day.

Shutting out the world for a few minutes of laid-back tranquility.

But when the candlelight comes courtesy of Lelo's Flickering Touch Massage Candle, the bliss doesn't stop when the candle is extinguished – quite the opposite, in fact.

The candles come in three aromas: Black Pepper & Pomegranate, Snow Pear & Cedarwood and – the one trialled by our testers - Vanilla & Creme De Cacao.

Lighting the wick released a wonderfully fragrant aroma, melting the scented wax into a pool of scented massage oil ready and waiting to be put to good use! The candle puts the feel good factor at your fingertips, and is guaranteed to ignite a sensual side.

Heating up the candle heats up your night in...

'Perfect for romantic nights in' promises the intimate brand, and our tester agreed.

Usually three is a crowd, but not when it's you, your partner and Lelo's Massage Candle!” they promised.

Quick Fix Facials promise a no-mess, quick and easy pick-me-up, and the brand has a mask to counteract every skincare problem– from acne-prone and dehydrated skin to sensitive, dull and lifeless issues.

Anti-Blemish Mud Mask makes the most of natural ingredients including Dead Sea Mud and Tea Tree Oil to treat problem areas.

Unlike some brands, it was easy to apply and smelled great too!

As suggested, we applied a generous layer, relaxed for 10 minutes while the mask worked its magic and removed with warm water for a fresh feel and tightened pores.
