It may not be official yet, but it's only a matter of days: spring is here. We've chosen five products that will turn your beauty routine into an idyllic moment, comparable only to a stroll through a field of almond blossom.

Genaissance The Serum Essence, La Mer

 When La Mer announces something new, we stop to listen. This is the case with Genaissance The Serum Essence, a richly active, handcrafted serum that visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles, helps boost elasticity and gives the skin a lifting effect, so that it feels firmer and looks brighter, more even, radiant and refined. Visible rejuvenation from the first application.

Bora Barrier, Drunk Elephant 

It's the latest novelty from Drunk Elephant, and promises to be the brand's thickest and richest repair cream. Bora Barrier provides 24 hours of hydration and helps renew and restore the driest and most fragile skin by enveloping it in a blend of ceramides, lipids, minerals and powerful antioxidant compounds that restore the skin barrier.

Real Flawless Foundation, Laura Mercier

It was launched a year or so ago, but the boom came around Christmas, when TikTok woke up to the magical powers of this foundation — Laura Mercier's first complexion product in five years — whose purpose is to achieve the brand's famous ‘no-makeup make-up look’. Lightweight, with medium coverage, its added value is that it blends into the skin in the same way that drops of paint touch a blank canvas: in a totally natural way.

Hyper Real SkinCanvas Balm, Mac

Part of the Hyper Real range, this SkinCanvas Balm is the "finishing touch" to Mac's daily skincare routine: an hydrating cream that strengthens and protects the skin barrier and immediately smoothes the complexion. Its long-lasting effect relaxes and prevents irritation, providing visible softness and radiance from day one.

Figo Eau de cologne, Granado

It's a fragrance that celebrates the naturalness, purity and freshness of fig leaves, in elegant harmony with woody notes of sandalwood and cedar. Figo, Granado's new cologne — an enveloping creation with an unusual fresh and elegant touch — is signed by French perfumer Florian Gallo, and promises to be one of the scents of the season.
