With thousands of skincare products to choose from (and more and more launching every day), it can become surprisingly easy to loose track of what your skin really needs as you get sucked into buying the latest trending ingredient or viral product. Of course, testing and trying new products is part of the fun of beauty, and at the end of the day, what works for you works for you, regardless of what other people think of it. But there comes a point when experimenting with skincare can become overwhelming, especially if you’re the type of person who wants to address their skin concerns and goals as quickly and effectively as possible. In recent years, we’ve seen the skincare industry boom. Fuelled by social media trends, it’s been hard to ignore the influx of new products, ingredie...

My first introduction to the brand was via Foreo’s facial cleansing brush (known as the Luna), and I have to admit, I was sceptical as to just how good an at-home device could be. Needless to say, four years have passed and it’s been a staple in my daily skincare routine ever since. As someone who is acne-prone and experiences concerns like enlarged pores and deep-rooted congestion, cleansing efficiently has always been a main focus of my skincare routine. However, cleansers themselves can only do so much, so incorporating the Foreo Luna into my cleansing routine was a major upgrade. In fact, Foreo’s newest version of the Luna is clinically proven to remove 99% of dirt, oil, and makeup residue, which is a lot more than hands alone can achieve. Made from super-soft silicone and powered...

There’s an undeniable allure about the beauty and style choices of French women, from their chic trademark fringes to their classic wardrobe basics. For me, though, there’s one specific area that I feel they’ve consistently excelled in more than most: skincare. Yes, French girls have seriously amazing skin, and it’s down to the array of hard-working skincare brands that they have access to. Over the years, I’ve lost count of the number of industry-approved makeup removers and celebrity-beloved face oils that have been exported from France. Trust me—if it’s cult skincare products that you’re looking for, then French pharmacy brands are the best place to start. Luckily, many of these historic bra...

Having tested a lot of beauty products for my job, I know that there are some luxury beauty products that are absolutely worth the investment, especially when it comes to skincare products like serums that do a lot of heavy lifting in your routine. Others, however, I think you can save money on. Take mascaras for instance. Many high street mascara formulations are just as good, if not better, than the £30+ ones. So you can probably get away with spending less on your lashes. To find out which affordable beauty products are actually worth switching to, I’ve compiled some of my favourite luxe beauty products with some purse-friendly alternatives. Trust me, they’re really that good. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a ...

Cleansing is an essential step in every skincare routine, vital for removing makeup, product residue, and excess oil, as well as for prepping skin for future product application and targeting concerns like dullness and congestion. “Washing your face really is the cornerstone of a great routine and glowing skin,” says facialist and skin expert Charlie Perry. “If you aren’t cleansing your face properly with the best cleanser for your skin’s needs, it’s very hard for everything that follows in your routine to go right.” Choosing the right formula can make a vital difference to your skin, with options ranging from balms and oils through to gels, milks, and foams. However, the best cleansers don’t necessarily need to be expensive or packed full of pricey active ingre...

I get sent a lot of products to test for my role, but the truth is, not all of them get a permanent spot in my bathroom or dressing table. New launches are filed away for testing, but if I don’t love it, I’ll soon return to my tried and tested favourites. The ones that do make it into my favourite line-up, however, are so good that I’ll finish them up completely. Ever ounce is squeezed out of the tube or scooped out of a tub. These are the ones I love so much, that I’ll happily part with my own cash and recommend on Who What Wear UK—no gatekeeping here. Once, finished, I usually pop the empty packaging into a box to refer back to and draw upon these great products when I’m writing beauty content. Ahead, I’m digging out the said box of beauty empties to s...

Here at Who What Wear UK, we love M&S. Marks and Spencer can always be relied upon for high-quality yet affordable fashion buys—not to mention Percy Pigs. I regularly pop in to my local, and being a beauty editor, I also really rate its beauty hall. As well as having its own range of M&S beauty products (we’re big fans of M&S’s Apothecary candles, which look and smell far more expensive than their price tag), you’ll also find so many well-loved beauty brands, from Nuxe and Eve Lom to TikTok-loved Color Wow and Ren Clean Skincare. Among them are affordable M&S-owned fragrances that happen to smell very chic indeed—one of my current favourites is just £6.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Alongside dry skin, oily skin, and combination skin, sensitive skin is a term that gets thrown around a lot in the world of skincare, and in 2023, it’s set to become one of the most-searched for skin conditions on Google. Why? Because following an increase in people experimenting with exfoliation, active ingredients, and skincare layering, identification of sensitive skin is on the rise. If you’ve ever experienced redness, irritation, or inflammation after using a specific product or layering one too many serums, then it’s likely that your skin is experiencing sensitivity, and the truth is, we’re all vulnerable to it. That’s right, contrary to popular belief, sensitive skin isn’t actually a skin type, it’s a skin condition. This means that sensitivity is something that can occur to anyone’...
