We’re marching into the third month of the year with products that brighten and protect the skin, a balm to celebrate International Women’s Day, and the essentials for a classic yet simple makeup look.
The month of March has seen sudden political changes, a slow rise in health awareness, and scorching weather. So far the start has been pretty dramatic and a tad grim, that’s why we’re turning to some retail therapy to help cushion the blow.
It’s almost as if the beauty brands have heard our laments over the constant stickiness and heat that we’ve been facing, as new skincare releases this month place a focus on brightening, reawakening, and protecting the skin that’s currently under attack by everyday pollutants and UV damage.
Meanwhile, luxury brands such as GUCCI and Hermès come bearing makeup essentials that have been formulated and designed in their own special way – where even the packaging alone can be seen as a beautiful collectible.
If you’re looking for a way to celebrate this year’s International Women’s Day by giving back – while procuring a new multipurpose beauty product to join your vanity’s collection, all eyes are on L’Occitane.
