Beauty: I’m loving these bonny brands
They’re all made in ? or 奮起させるd by ? Scotland
I like to think of this week’s column as a bit of an ode to a Scottish urn ? or, more 正確に, a マリファナ and some pump dispensers. It’s not that I’m setting off on a Prince William-style charm 不快な／攻撃 up north ? though, of course, if called on to do so by my 産業 (and country) I’m very happy to 調書をとる／予約する a train ticket. Just say the word.
But there is a nod to Scotland in beauty at the moment. Firstly, there’s Ishga, an 有機の 海草 brand based in the Hebrides and enjoying a pop-up residency at The Bamford Wellness Spa at London’s Berkeley hotel. I experienced their 免疫の 上げるing Ritual (£160 for 90 minutes, the-berkeley.co.uk) and it was excellent. It （軍隊を）展開する，配備するd one of my favourite 製品s of theirs ? the Hebridean Sea Salt Scrub (£16) which uses 地元の sea salts blended with jojoba, thistle and almond oils. Also 広大な／多数の／重要な is its Hydrating 手渡す Cream (£28, both uk.ishga.com) with 海草 抽出する, argan oil and aloe vera, which isn’t greasy and lives up to its 指名する.
New on the scene from Chanel’s haute fragrance line Les Exclusifs is Paris-Edimbourg (£112, chanel.com). 奮起させるd by Coco Chanel’s life, this takes us to the 1920s and the Scottish Highlands where she enjoyed holidaying when dating the 2nd Duke of Westminster. It’s a lightly smoky yet crisp mix of bergamot, juniper, and cypress ? understatedly sexy.
On the fragrance 前線 there’s also Kingdom Scotland, Scotland’s first 公式の／役人 fragrance house. It has four fragrances, the 最新の of which is Kingdom Botanica (£120, kingdomscotland.com). It has been created to 示す the 350th 周年記念日 of the 王室の Botanic Garden Edinburgh and, as they put it, is ‘奮起させるd by the adventurous Scottish 工場／植物 hunters of the past, 現在の and 未来’. The ethically sourced 成分s, from spice plum blossoms to jasmine and lily, have a 全世界の feel. But there are also more home-grown elements 含むing pine needle and blackcurrant 茎・取り除く 同様に as wild herbaceous vegetation. The result is green, floral and sumptuous.?
Seilich produces very lovely cleansers and moisturising lotions, with the 大多数 of its sustainably 収穫d 成分s grown in its wildflower meadows in the Lothians. Availability depends on 収穫 so 調印する up for the next 減少（する） if anything is out of 在庫／株; these are all produced with dedication and soul. Try 造幣局 & Chamomile Gel Cleanser (£16), the Rose & Mallow Moisturising Lotion (£38) and Rose & Mallow 直面する もや (£20, all seilich.co.uk).
Lastly, try Scottish 罰金 Soaps and its Oatmeal or Heather soaps in a tin (both £6.50, scottishfinesoaps.com) ? a little bit of 高級な all the way from its factory 近づく the Ochil Hills.

Clean 直面する, （疑いを）晴らす 良心
I feel ever more 有罪の whenever I use a cotton pad. Though there are plenty of reusable 選択s, I’m 現在／一般に plumping for this new 始める，決める from The 団体／死体 Shop.

Fans of the By Terry 色合いd Baume de Rose lip balms may be disappointe d to learn that they’ve been discontinued (the classic balm lives on). But I’m a big fan of their new lip 開始する，打ち上げる ? though not like the balm 正確に／まさに, it may 供給する a good 代案／選択肢. The Hyaluronic Hydra Balm (£29, spacenk.com) really is the bee’s 膝s and 広大な／多数の／重要な for my always-乾燥した，日照りの lips. Packed with hyaluronic 酸性の, this is a very hydrating and lightweight balm with a light sheen finish. It comes in six shades, from a Sexy Nude light toffee (my favourite, 権利) to reds.
