Best Skincare Products
Gold
Australian Jojoba
(RRP £19.99), from The Jojoba Company
About the product: “Our Australian Wadi Wadi Jojoba is truly unique and transformative for the skin. Jojoba is not an oil but a liquid wax ester which shares the same molecular structure as the naturally produced oils in our skin, helping the skin to be more receptive to vitamins and omegas.
Naturally rich in vitamins A, D & E, plus omegas 6 & 9, our Jojoba is incredibly soothing for dryness, redness and irritation.”
Our tester said:
“A pleasant gentle perfume. I have been using this for about a month and have noticed a small improvement already. You only need to use a very small amount on damp skin. It feels a little greasy on application but it does soon absorb into the skin nicely.”
