BEE HEALTHY
We know it’s spring, but that doesn’t mean that all the cold snaps are behind us. If you suffer from dry or cracked cuticles, Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream (R125, Dis-Chem) works wonders at softening, conditioning and hydrating the cuticle, because after all, healthy cuticles grow healthy nails.
SCENTING THE SCENE
Did you know that candle gazing can relax you and move you into a meditative state? Choose something like the newly launched The Olive Branch (R245, Lush), a heavenly mix of bergamot, rosemary and oakmoss.

BRIGHT IDEAS
If making your own beauty concoctions at home is a pastime, Foreo’s Imagination DIY Mask Base (R799, ARC) is right up your alley. The triple-infusion complex is the perfect base to combine with common ingredients, like honey (known for its great antibacterial qualities) or bananas (rich in potassium and vitamins to hydrate and strengthen elastine).
