No, But Seriously, Every Fashion Person Will Be Using This Skincare Brand This Summer

I'll be honest: my favourite skincare brands are often the least aesthetic ones. I favour simple, hard-working products from the likes of CeraVe, The Ordinary and La Roche-Posay, and as good as these products are, there's no denying that they lack certain style points. Sure, they make my skin look as good as it can, but they don't necessarily bring me joy to use.

So, when I heard that Laura Jackson, broadcaster, creative director and co-founder of the digital publishing platform, Glassette, was launching a skincare brand, I was immediately intrigued. I've been a fan of Laura for a while now, thanks to her immaculate taste in both interiors and fashion, and I was desperate to know what these products might look like. Let me tell you, they did not disappoint. Introducing Rocco Beauty.

As you can see, I already have the products proudly on display. In fact, since getting my hands on this new collection, my bathroom has suddenly become my happy place. I do not doubt that every fashion person will be using Rocco this summer.

That said, this skincare line is about so much more than aesthetics. In fact, the very reason Laura started the brand was that she wanted products that feel good, not just look good. Rooted in the connection between your skincare and your mood, Rocco is about creating a routine you look forward to day and night.

Having just launched in Boots with five core products, I was keen to put the entire line to the test. Each formula features the brand's mood-boosting scent, FaceFeels, which makes doing your skincare a sensorial delight. Trust me, everything smells really, really good.

Whilst the scent was definitely a standout for me, another aspect I loved about the line was its simplicity. The brand has stripped your skincare routine back to basics, in the best way possible. No confusing ingredients, no 10-step protocol to follow, just efficacious formulas that leave you looking (and feeling) like your very best self. Oh, and everything's under £20.

1. TLC Melt Hydrating Balm Cleanser

I love a cleansing balm, and I was so excited to get my hands on this. The sweet, fresh, uplifting scent made the boring task of taking off my makeup a whole lot more fun. Plus, when applied to the skin, this balm melts into a nourishing oil, which means it removes even the most stubborn of mascaras. After washing it off, I couldn't believe how soft my skin felt. For a first cleanse, you really can't go wrong with this.

2. Soft Reset Foaming Cleanser

For my second cleanse, I went in with the Soft Reset Foaming Cleanser. I'll be honest, I don't usually like cleansing foams, as I personally find them very drying, but thanks to a cocktail of nourishing ingredients, I didn't experience that tight, stripped feeling after using this. It did take me a little while to get used to using the pink foam (yes, it's pink!), but I have to say, there's something about the colour and the scent that makes this product so joyous to use. It might not be a cleanser I reach for every single day, but when I need a boost, it's this I'm choosing.

3. Triple Up Hydrating 3-in-1 Toner & Primer

I was a bit confused by this product at first, but once I got the hang of how (and when) to use it, I pretty much fell in love. I tend to apply a few pumps before my moisturiser or before applying my makeup, as it adds the dewiest, juiciest effect to the skin. Plus, it acts as an extra hit of hydration on those days when your complexion is feeling a bit dry or dull. The nourishing ingredients and lightweight formula get top marks from me.

4. Sunshine Dew Glow Essence

As soon as I saw the name of this, I couldn't wait to try it. Anything that promises a dewy glow is right up my street. Similar to the product above, this is a great one to apply before makeup, as it adds this really beautiful, naturally radiant finish to the skin. Thanks to the nourishing texture, it also allows any foundation or concealer to glide on smoothly. I can definitely see this becoming a staple in my daily routine.

5. Cloud Bounce Hydrating Moisturiser

Last but not least, let's talk about moisturiser. I always struggle with moisturiser, as I have dry skin, but it also gets clogged easily, so I can't use anything too rich. In my opinion, this product is the perfect middle ground. The combination of baobab, glycerin and squalane left my skin feeling silky soft, and thanks to the lightweight, cloud-like texture, it didn't feel heavy or greasy to use—10/10 from me.
