Space NK's Glow Edit Is Its Best One Yet, And It's Perfect For Your Next Holiday
When it comes to nailing summer-ready make-up, the secret lies in your skincare routine. With so many products to choose from, selecting the combination to give you an envious glow can feel like a minefield. If your eyes are glazing over at the thought of your next beauty haul, let us let you in on a cult-followed clever solution: Space NK's beauty edits. These collections have a special place in my heart; as an ex-beauty advisor, I look forward to the launch of any limited-edition kits to discover new beauty favourites and replenish my trusty old faithfuls, and I constantly recommend them to friends and family stuck in a skincare rut. A favourite of beauty aficionados, the expertly curated kits are total crowd pleasers (I loved the everyday make-up kit and the wedding beauty edit, FYI), but the brand's latest release might just take the top spot for me. When I got my hands on The Summer Glow Edit, £65, I felt like a kid on Christmas Day. If it's just-stepped-off-a-plane-from-Bali skin you're craving from some of the most exciting brands in the business, look no further. 1. Shop: Space NK The Summer Glow Edit Pros Great value for money Includes viral, sold-out faves Cons First up, Vida Glow's 6-Day Collagen is a great way to get the glow from within. It allows you to ingest your glow-boosting ingredients by adding them to any beverage. Cleanse with Tata Harper's Regenerating Cleansing to encourage cell turnover, and follow that up with vitamin C-rich products (the MVP for radiance) like Tatcha's new Brightening Serum and Sunday Riley's CEO Afterglow. One product that I hadn't tried previously, but has quickly become a new favourite, is the Innisfree Glow Jelly Cream. I am all for an illuminating moisturiser, and this one ticks all the boxes. I was thrilled to see the viral Space NK shimmer body oil included in this edit, too. As soon as it launched, it immediately became noteworthy, with many beauty fans comparing it to Sol's version, but for a fraction of the price. Finally, just when you think you can't get enough radiance, you'll find a glorious highlight stick from Westman Atelier in shade Nectar, which reviewers agree is the icing on the cake. Worth £158, you can snap up this holiday-ready edit for just £65, but you'd better move fast, as we're predicting it won't be around for too long. Head to Space NK to shop.

I Tried Dozens of Body Scrubs for Soft Skin—These Are the Only Ones Worth Buying
No matter how streamlined your 'everything shower' routine may be, there's one essential step that often gets overlooked: body exfoliation. Although it takes a little extra time, a few circular swipes of a good body scrub can seriously transform the look and feel of your skin. Why? Because the best ones don't just slough away dead skin cells—they soften rough patches, boost glow, and make everything you layer on afterward (think: moisturizers, self-tanners, serums) work better. In other words, they're the shortcut to smoother, glowier skin with surprisingly little effort. According to board-certified dermatologist and co-creator of Keys Soulcare, Dr. Renee Snyder, the older we get, the more important it is to use these powerful products. 'As we age, our skin's natural desquamation process—the shedding of dead skin cells—begins to slow down. This means old, dull cells linger on the surface longer than they should,' she explains. 'Add that to the buildup of everyday products like sunscreen, bronzers, or self-tanners, and you develop clogged pores, rough texture, and ingrown hairs.' By gently removing that layer, you not only reveal smoother, more radiant skin, but also help prevent trapped hairs and congestion. Whether you're looking for a gritty physical exfoliant or a chemical formula powered by AHAs, adding a scrub to your full-body care routine is one of the simplest ways to keep your skin fresh, balanced, and genuinely healthy. To determine which scrubs are worth making room for in your shower, I tested top picks, consulted Dr. Snyder for her go-tos, and scoured dozens of reviews. Scroll ahead for the 13 best body scrubs. Nécessaire's The Body Exfoliator checks every box: physical exfoliation, chemical exfoliation, keratosis pilaris (KP) prevention, and a hypoallergenic, yet fragranced formula. Volcanic pumice provides the grit, while AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs work to smooth textured skin, treat KP, and prevent ingrown hairs. Key ingredients: Salicylic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid, volcanic pumice When to use: In the shower Amazon rating: 4.4/5 An Amazon reviewer says: 'I've repurchased this about 3 or 4 times at this point. Such a good product, it smells great, a great physical and chemical exfoliant. My skin is immediately softer after using this. The charcoal exfoliation is not too harsh but enough as someone who has very mild ingrown hairs/bumps on the back of my lower arm/near my elbow. Great product to use all over before shaving. You don't need to use a lot to be able to get a good amount of exfoliation.' This body scrub is essentially a spa experience in a jar. Designed for application on dry skin, the Tata Harper Smoothing Body Scrub utilizes five sources of exfoliation to gently micro-polish your skin. It's also packed with organic ingredients sourced straight from the brand's farm that hydrate your skin and promote a silky-smooth and ultra-glowy finish. Key ingredients: Organic raw sugar, Himalayan pink salt, Hawaiian salt, cranberry seed fibers, argan oil When to use: Outside the shower Tata Harper rating: 4.9/5 A Tata Harper reviewer says: 'Love the way this feels without leaving an oily residue as many scrubs do—just makes your skin feel really clean and soft.' When it comes to body care, the scalp is often forgotten. But the truth is, the skin on your head deserves just as much attention as the rest of your body. Ouai makes it easy with their sugar scrub formulated for both the scalp and body. It's color-safe, deep-cleansing, and sulfate-free—ideal for all hair and skin types. Key ingredients: Sugar crystals, glycerin, panthenol, coconut oil Sephora rating: 4.5/5 A Sephora reviewer says: 'This scrub feels like a facial for the scalp and body! I have an oily scalp and skin and I easily get product buildup on both, and this scrub delivers an intense deep cleanse without stripping my hair or skin! My scalp and body feel squeaky clean and healthy! It also smells like a spa in a jar, which just enhances the experience soooo much! Definitely recommend!' 'The Be Luminous Exfoliator from Keys Soulcare is by far my favorite exfoliator,' says Dr. Snyder. 'I love how it transforms with water into a gentle, effervescent polish.' A blend of hojicha powder, green tea antioxidants, and soothing oats delivers a boost of hydration and protection, leaving skin radiant and refreshed. Key ingredients: Lactic acid, kaolin, hojicha powder, mung bean When to use: Inside or outside the shower Amazon rating: 4.6/5 An Amazon reviewer says: 'This is a superb product. It works wonders on your skin and, unlike other exfoliators, this will not break you out. It's very gentle and does not strip all of the natural oils out of your skin, but it will leave you squeaky clean. I highly recommend this.' Another favorite of Dr. Snyder's, the Osea Salts of the Earth Body Scrub uses mineral-rich salts to buff away dry patches, while gigartina seaweed and shea butter nourish and moisturize. After just one use, your skin will feel baby-smooth. Key ingredients: Mineral salt blend, gigartina seaweed, shea butter, lavender oil Amazon rating: 4.3/5 An Amazon reviewer says: 'My absolute favorite body scrub. This is the first body scrub I've used that leaves my skin noticeably softer immediately after use. It smells amazing and reminds me of that spa-like scent. 100 percent recommend.' Keratosis pilaris—those pesky little bumps often found on arms—can be quite tricky to treat. That's why First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub has a loyal following. Even Dr. Snyder uses it, sharing, 'I reach for it whenever my arms need it. Key ingredients: Pumice beads, glycolic acid, lactic acid, bisabolol Sephora rating: 4.3/5 An ELLE editor says: 'I may not struggle with KP, but I do face eczema on my arms every now and then. I can always count on the First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub to buff out my rough patches for smooth, soft arms.'—Emma Aerin Becker, associate beauty e-commerce writer When you slough off dead, dry skin with a body scrub, the fresh layer underneath often craves moisture. The Josie Maran Sugar and Argan Oil Body Scrub ensures your skin is both smooth and bright, thanks to its exfoliating sugar crystals and nourishing argan oil. Key ingredients: Sugar crystals, argan oil, shea butter When to use: Post-shower on damp skin Sephora rating: 4.6/5A Sephora reviewer says: 'This gentle exfoliador makes my skin feel super soft and moisturized. I particularly enjoy how the argan oil makes my skin feel after I rinse off the scrub. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for small luxuries' If you want silky-smooth skin and to smell like a freshly baked cookie, let me introduce you to the Dove Brown Sugar and Coconut Butter Body Scrub. The recently-released product has a unique whipped texture that exfoliates and moisturizes as you scrub. And if coconut isn't your favorite fragrance, there's seven more delicious scents available. Key ingredients: Brown sugar, coconut oil, ¼ moisturizing cream Amazon rating: 4.7/5 An Amazon reviewer says: 'I recently tried the Dove Brown Sugar and Coconut Butter Body Scrub and it's quickly become one of my favorite skincare products! The texture is rich and creamy with just the right amount of exfoliation—it's not too harsh, but it leaves my skin feeling incredibly smooth and refreshed. The scent is amazing—sweet, warm, and comforting, like a tropical dessert. It lingers on the skin without being overpowering. After using it, my skin feels deeply nourished, soft to the touch, and has a healthy glow. I also love that it doesn't leave a greasy residue in the shower like some other scrubs do. A little goes a long way' Powered by powdered bamboo stem, apricot seed, and essential oils, the Yonka Gommage Doux Silhouette is a creamy exfoliator that easily erases dead skin cells. Simultaneously, it hydrates with sesame seed oil, mango seed butter, and glycerin. However, it has unique cellulite control that helps firm and lift the skin. Key ingredients: Sesame seed oil, mango seed butter, vegetal glycerin, powdered bamboo stem, apricot seed When to use: Outside shower on damp or dry skin Yonka rating: 4.8/5 A Yonka reviewer says: 'I have used this a hand full of times now and I think it's a great product! I use it twice a week, a little goes a long way. It smells great and leaves my skin feeling smooth!' Even those with sensitive skin can benefit from a body scrub. The Nopalera Cactus Flower Exfoliant stands out mainly because it's grittier than others on this list and melts quickly into the skin for gentle exfoliation. Key ingredients: Safflower seed oil, shea butter, jojoba oil, nopal, tangerine oil When to use: Outside shower Nordstrom rating: 4.7/5 A Nordstrom reviewer says: 'Heard lots about Nopalera and the founder Sandra Velasquez so I could not wait to try it. Truly amazing product. I applied it from head to toe and was pleasantly surprised on how moisturizing it was and how well it penetrated even after drying off and no need to apply lotion. The glow was a bonus as my collar bone, shoulders and arms felt and looked amazing! It truly felt like a spa experience in a jar! The tangerine scent is mild and perfection for those of us who don't like heavy scents. This is a keeper!!' Formulated with physical exfoliators like pumice and jojoba esters, as well as AHA, BHA, and PHA chemical exfoliants, Naturium's KP Body Scrub & Mask instantly eliminates bumpy, dry, rough, and dull skin. When applied as a mask, your skin will not only feel smoother but also look brighter and more even. Key ingredients: Pumice, Glycerin, Jojoba Seed Oil, Squalane, Glycolic Acid, Stearic Acid Ulta rating: 4.5/5 An Ulta reviewer says: 'New holy grail. After spending $30+ on other 8oz KP scrubs for years, I bought this on a whim due to the price point. Glad I did because I love it. It really doesn't have a scent and is gentle enough to use on my legs, without compromising the effectiveness of physical exfoliation & KP treatment. I also love that I can let it sit on my skin as a mask in the shower.' If you're a fan of Sol de Janero's iconic Bum Bum Cream, then you have to try the brand's Bum Bum Body Scrub. It's an ultra-fine body scrub that uses a blend of cupuaçu seeds, sugar crystals, and caffeine-rich guaraná to gently exfoliate. Meanwhile, coconut oil provides deep hydration, and the beloved Cheirosa 62 fragrance leaves you smelling fresh all day long. Key ingredients: Cupuaçu seeds, sugar crystals, caffeine-rich guaraná, coconut oil Sephora rating: 4.1/5 A Sephora reviewer says: 'Love it! The smell is so good and it's just the right amount of scrubby. Plus, it doesn't leave the floor of the shower feeling slimy and slippery like some other scrubs.' Dr. Renee Snyder is a board-certified dermatologist and the co-creator of Keys Soulcare. How often you exfoliate depends on your skin type, according to Dr. Snyder. For most, once or twice a week is the sweet spot—frequent enough to keep skin smooth without compromising your barrier. If you have sensitive skin, start with once every 10 days and adjust based on how your skin responds. Those with thicker or oilier skin, or rougher areas like elbows and knees, can benefit from exfoliating two to three times a week. Dr. Snyder adds that the 'most critical step' is to 'immediately replenish your skin's barrier and infuse it with antioxidants using a body lotion.' She recommends Keys Soulcare's Sacred Body Lotion because it's enriched with chia seed oil, allantoin, and shea butter to deliver silky, fast-absorbing hydration and lock in essential moisture.

The New Rules of Active Beauty for Summer Travel
LA Times Studios may earn commission from purchases made through our links. If your carry-on is packed with TSA-friendly minis, climate-proof tints, and hair protectants that moonlight as frizz-fighters, you're already fluent in active beauty. As summer travel ramps up, so do the demands on your skin. From bone-dry airplane cabins to sweaty hikes and SPF reapplications by the pool, this season challenges your complexion like no other. Active beauty, a trend defined by skincare that flexes with your lifestyle, isn't just about surviving the elements; it's about thriving through them. Think of it as your skin's performance gear: clean, high-tech, breathable, and built to move. Whether you're navigating desert heat, post-facial inflammation, or just city pollution, your skincare shouldn't quit before you do. At the heart of active beauty is the idea that skin thrives when supported by barrier-strengthening, breathable formulations. Tata Harper, a pioneer in natural luxury skincare, breaks it down: 'Our products are formulated to support the skin barrier and use ingredients that work with the skin, not against it. We include emollients and seed oils rich in triglycerides and omega fatty acids to reinforce the skin's lipid layer.' This lipid layer is crucial in summer, when air travel, sun, and sweat can sabotage hydration and lead to inflammation. Tata's Hydrating Floral Essence is packed with hyaluronic acid and natural humectants, and is designed for just such conditions. Anastasia Beverly Hills just launched HydraPrime SPF 50, which delivers serious multitasking muscle. This hydrating sunscreen primes, protects, and perfects all skin tones with no white cast, making it ideal for travelers who want glow without guesswork. Shown to boost moisture by 57% and reduce fine lines, it's powered by niacinamide, ectoin, and beet root to hydrate and defend skin while improving tone and texture. When the heat index spikes and your skin is sandwiched between sunscreen layers and sweat, lighter textures are everything. Wyn Beauty's Featuring You Hydrating Skin Enhancing Tint is lightweight yet long-lasting, blending seamlessly, and won't clog pores even in humid, high-sweat situations. Tata Harper's Water Lock Moisturizer, Resurfacing Serum, and Repairative Moisturizer feature air-light textures that hydrate without suffocating pores. 'These products are formulated without silicones, so they don't sit on the skin or melt off in heat,' says Harper. 'Instead, they act like a second skin, hydrating and protecting without clogging.' In ultra-dry climates, pairing a moisturizer with a face oil locks in hydration. As dehydrated skin (which lacks water, not oil) can accelerate aging, this combo becomes essential for preserving barrier health and bounce. Today's skin stressors are layered: UV damage, pollution, and heat-induced sweat all compete to clog pores and compromise glow. But active skincare isn't just defensive, it's proactive. Emerging studies show that sweat (especially post-workout perspiration) can actually support the skin by helping clear pores and boosting circulation. However, heat and humidity also reduce the skin's ability to regulate sebum production and sweat evaporation, making it more vulnerable to UV exposure and breakouts. Research compiled by the National Institutes of Health confirms that this trio (sweat, SPF buildup, and pollution) can disrupt the skin barrier and increase inflammation. So whether you're city-bound or trail-hopping, the best skincare works like gear: functional, portable, and multi-benefit. Your hair faces the same travel turbulence as your skin, dry cabins, chlorine-laced pools, UV rays, and styling tool roulette. Purist Pure Scalp Relief offers a travel-sized solution for dry, irritated scalps. Formulated with cooling menthol and soothing plant oils, it refreshes and rebalances your scalp and restores shine during or after long-haul travel. A sleekening mist like Oribe's Royal Blowout Heat Styling Spray can smooth even the worst-behaved tresses and speed up dry time, ideal when hotel tools are less than reliable. For those logging outdoor time, pack a lightweight heat protectant like Bumble and Bumble Heat Shield Thermal Protection Mist. And when you want effortless texture without the crunch, try IGK Beach Club Texture Spray, which gives you touchable, voluminous waves without drying out your strands. But don't overlook simple hacks backed by science. According to experts, soaking your hair with clean tap water before swimming helps minimize chlorine absorption, while coconut oil forms a protective barrier that preserves color and moisture. Leave-in conditioners, protective styles, and even a silk scrunchie can keep strands intact through long flights and humid hikes. Summer travel is less about the destination and more about what your skin endures along the way. Active beauty reframes skincare not as a pampering pause, but as a performance protocol. In this landscape, your routine isn't just maintenance, it's preparation. Click here to learn more about Tata Harper

Cooling eye gel praised for making eyes ‘brighter and less puffy' in 30 seconds
Everything from hayfever to late nights spent dancing at festivals can leave you with puffy, tired eyes during summer, but this eye gel is said to improve them in 30 seconds Summer is all about making the most of the light evenings and sunny weather, which can often mean we're out late, up early, and spending plenty of time outdoors where hayfever and pollen are rife. All that can lead to puffy, tired and itchy eyes, not to mention a dark circle or two. However the Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel promises to be an almost instant solution to all of that, with some shoppers saying it worked in under a minute. One glowing review of the eye gel said: 'I was skeptical but I have been a customer for 5 years with Tata Harper so I trust her products. Wow! It works, I woke up with puffy eyes and I used this nice cooling eye gel and in 30 seconds I saw my eyes brighter, less puffy and glowing the ingredients in this tube does its magic. Solution is consistent and I use it morning and night. I'm happy with this Eye gel.' The Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel (£72) is packed full of skin-loving ingredients which help to restore the moisture and hydration to your delicate under-eye area, leaving it hydrated, plump and glowing. It contains kakadu plum and vitamin C which help to brighten up the area, as well as avocado which helps reduce puffiness and improve the appearance of dark circles. You'll also find a green coffee bean complex, which acts as a source of caffeine to boost the eye gel's effect and prevent tired looking eyes. It has a lightweight gel to cream formula which is cooling and soothing under your eyes, something which is only improved by the cooling metal applicator tip, which helps to de-puff your under-eye area quickly. Considering some reviewers saw results in 30 seconds, it's safe to say this is a beauty bag staple to take with you whether you're travelling, heading off to a festival, or just know you've got a late night in the sunshine planned. If you're looking for something a little more affordable, the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal is £15 for a 30ml tube. It promises to visibly smooth and firm the skin around your eyes with a gentle formula, and is a great way for beginners to introduce retinal into their beauty routine. Alternatively the De-Puff and Brighten Eye Gel from Byoma is £13 for 20ml and helps to cool and de-puff your skin whilst also reducing dark circles. However it's the Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel that Space NK shoppers have been praising, giving it a 4.6 out of 5 star rating. One wrote: 'This is an excellent product! I've noticed a significant reduction in puffiness around my eyes, and they definitely look brighter. I highly recommend it!' One did comment: 'Love this product! My only critique is that the formula is a bit too thin for the applicator – when you squeeze it too much comes out at once, which leads to wasting product. A slightly thicker consistency or a more controlled dispenser could make a big difference.' Others however raved about it, saying: 'Perfect for new moms with dark circles from lack of sleep! Helps put a little pep back in your eyes.'
