Imagine this: you're engaged in a lively discussion with your inner circle on the topic of skincare essentials, and someone asks for your ultimate product recommendation to keep skin hydrated. Cue the internal dialogue of every beauty editor like me: so many products, so little time! These questions often prompt a thoughtful reflection on my part, because I want to recommend something they'll love, and most importantly, will work for their skin concerns.
This is one of the many reasons I love testing all the products in the Who What Wear UK beauty cupboard—I want the full experience. Amidst the myriad contenders, two have recently emerged as favourites: Templespa's Eye Truffle Luxury Eye Cream for Dark Circles & Wrinkles and Skin Truffle Brightening & Rejuvenating Face Cream.
Part of the brand's Truffle collection, Eye Truffle Luxury Eye Cream is a fusion of opulent ingredients such as black summer truffle and gold to soothe the delicate eye area whilst helping to improve the appearance of dark circles and fine lines. Meanwhile, I'd describe Skin Truffle Face Cream as the crème de la crème of moisturisers, boasting a blend of diamond powder, gold, silk and black truffles—the perfect balance of indulgence and efficacy. Together, the duo leaves my skin with a luminous radiance and that all-important hydration.
How do I incorporate these new-found gems into my daily ritual, you ask? It's simple. After cleansing and spritzing on my toner, I smooth on the face cream and admire the afterglow that makes me feel like I'm treating myself to a spa day right at home. Next, I delicately pat on the eye cream—I love how easily it glides on without me having to tug on the delicate skin—and then I finish with a little lip butter.
It's only been two weeks and I've already seen such a change in my skin. My complexion looks healthier and more glowy, and my makeup goes on so smoothly, which I really appreciate. As warm weather finally creeps in, I'm on the lookout for more skincare products that will help my skin breathe and keep it feeling fresh and hydrated, so below I've rounded up a few of my other favourite Templespa skin saviours that I've added to my routine—and recommend to a few friends.
