he beauty equivalents of the little black dress or the ultimate pair of jeans, these are the items that are ‘best in class’ year after year. Whether you’re giving them as gifts or keeping them for yourself, these must-haves are sure to elicit smiles all round.
THE SHINE BOOSTER
The Remington Keratin Radiance Straightener, £45, has ceramic plates infused with keratin and macadamia oils, which hydrate your hair and boost shine. ‘Always apply protective products before and after straightening to minimise damage and maximise shine,’ says Mayfair salon owner Hiro Miyoshi.
THE MA ICURE N SAVIOUR
Chip-resistant Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Right Said Red, £7, is a clever cocktail of nail know-how: glosser, strengthener, base and top coats, growth treatment and colour. ‘Massage in nail oil every night to make your manicure last longer,’ says celebrity manicurist Sabrina Gayle.
THE SOUL SOOTHER
‘Things happen after a Badedas bath,’ according to the 1970s advert for this cult bath-time classic. With circulation-boosting and skin-smoothing horse chestnut extract, Badedas Original Bath Gellee, £5·50, is comfortingly herbal and luxurious. For those who love generous amounts of bubbles, Badedas delivers.
