September always feels like a fresh start. As we settle back into routine after the summer, it’s an ideal time to reassess our skincare and beauty essentials. This month’s Beauty Edit features a selection of new launches that combine innovation, performance and everyday practicality to help your skin and hair look and feel their best.
Dr. Hauschka Renew & Activate Ampoules
Designed as an intensive nighttime treatment, these ampoules help support the skin’s natural collagen production while providing long-lasting hydration. Formulated with extracts of Madonna lily, witch hazel and rose, they help strengthen the skin barrier, improve resilience and leave the complexion looking smoother, firmer and more radiant by morning. Ideal when your skin is looking tired, dull or in need of a boost, 28 × 2ml €74.95. For those with sensitive or redness-prone skin, the Dr. Hauschka Calm & Balance Ampoules are a lovely alternative (these come in a seven-day treatment, 7x2ml €24.95 as well as a 28-day treatment option, 28 × 2ml €74.95). They help soothe and cool the skin while reducing the appearance of redness, making them particularly useful after sun exposure or whenever skin feels stressed and reactive, available online from drh.ie and selected Dr. Hauschka stockists nationwide.
Hawaiian Tropic Fragrance Collection
Known for its iconic sun care, Hawaiian Tropic has bottled the scent of summer in a new collection of affordable fragrance mists. Inspired by tropical holidays, warm sunshine and sandy beaches, the range includes body mists, shimmer editions and pearlescent fragrances designed to bring a little escapism to your everyday routine. My favourite is Golden Paradise, a beautifully balanced blend of juicy pear, pineapple and creamy coconut, with warm notes of sandalwood, amber and musk creating a soft, sun-kissed finish. Tropical Oasis is another lovely option, combining coconut, nectarine and papaya with delicate floral notes for a fresh, tropical scent that’s perfect for everyday wear. Light, easy to wear and great value at just €13, these fragrance mists are ideal for anyone who loves fresh, holiday-inspired scents and wants a simple way to keep that summer feeling going all year round, available from selected supermarkets and pharmacies nationwide
Aveda One For All Leave-In Elixir
Aveda has expanded its haircare range with the launch of One For All Leave-In Elixir, a lightweight multi-tasking spray designed to suit every hair type and texture. Offering an impressive 25 benefits in a single formula, it helps hydrate, smooth, detangle and nourish the hair while reducing frizz, enhancing shine and protecting against heat styling. While offering deep conditioning benefits, the formula remains lightweight enough for fine hair while providing lasting moisture and manageability for thicker textures. It also helps minimise breakage, prevent split ends and protect hair from the drying effects of the sun, making it an ideal everyday styling companion. Vegan, silicone-free and 99 per cent naturally derived, it’s finished with Aveda’s signature botanical aroma of rose, jasmine and ylang ylang for a luxurious finishing touch. Suitable for use on damp hair before styling, it’s an easy addition to any haircare routine and a great all-rounder for anyone looking to simplify their styling products without compromising on performance, €34 available to buy online from avedastore.ie and Aveda partner salons nationwide.
Dermalogica Smart Eye Density Cream
The skin around the eyes is often one of the first areas to show visible signs of ageing, making a targeted eye cream a worthwhile addition to your skincare routine. Dermalogica’s new Smart Eye Density Cream is designed to help improve the appearance of skin density while visibly firming, smoothing and hydrating this delicate area. Its lightweight yet nourishing formula helps soften the appearance of fine lines and supports the skin’s natural resilience without feeling heavy, making it suitable for both morning and evening use. If you’re noticing changes in firmness or texture around the eyes, this is a sophisticated treatment that delivers hydration while helping the eye area appear smoother, stronger and more refreshed, €143, available online from dermalogica.ie and Dermalogica stockists nationwide.
ASAP SPF50+ Moisturising Defence+
A daily sunscreen is one of the most important steps in any skincare routine, and ASAP’S new SPF50+ Moisturising Defence+ combines high-level sun protection with skincare benefits in one lightweight formula. Acting as a moisturiser, primer and SPF, it provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection while helping to defend against premature skin ageing and environmental damage. The fragrance-free formula is enriched with Kakadu Plum, a potent antioxidant rich in naturally occurring vitamin C, alongside niacinamide to help strengthen the skin barrier, improve skin tone and support a more even complexion. Hyaluronic acid, panthenol, aloe vera and vitamin E work together to deliver lasting hydration while helping to soothe and protect the skin. With its invisible, non-greasy finish, it’s suitable for all skin types and wears beautifully under makeup, making it an excellent everyday sunscreen that combines effective UV protection with high-performance skincare, €55 available online from asapskincare.ie and ASAP skincare stockists nationwide.
