The Best Beauty Products for May 2025

01

DR DENNIS GROSS

Alpha Beta Glow Pad for Face, N/A

"I was so excited when I discovered these self-tan towelettes were making a return to the UK – and that Space NK got the exclusive. Still containing the same AHAs and BHAs as the original pads, they create a natural-looking tan at the same time as smoothing the skin. Non-drying, I’ve been using them twice a week and am super happy with the results." Rebecca

Susanne Kaufmann

Body Butter For The Senses, N/A

"As a fan of Bath For The Senses, this is a real win for me as it means the gorgeous scent of ylang ylang, patchouli and lavender will stay on my skin for longer. Because it’s a butter, it’s rich and nourishing and really works hard to hydrate my skin. I make time to massage it in every morning to keep my skin soft and it melts in without too much rubbing or time." - Georgie

KOSAS

Cloud Set - Translucent Loose Setting + Blurring Powder, N/A

"Kosas have just introduced two new finishing products into their portfolio and I’ve been using both. The setting powder is great when I’m at home to set my makeup in place and stop any shininess creeping through (which has been ideal during the warmer weather) and I’ve been spritzing the [ post-gym or during the day when my skin needs a hit or hydration. I’d recommend the powder if you prefer a matte finish and the mist if you like that glowy, glass skin effect." - Julie

Jo Loves

With Love From Como A Fragrance, N/A

"Mango Thai Lime was a firm Jo Loves favourite for me as it’s so sunny and fresh but this new fragrance also reminds me of summer holidays in the Mediterranean. Citrusy but with a ‘green’ accord that comes from the basil and cedarwood, it creates that feeling of being by the water under the warmth of a sunset. Definitely one I’ll be reaching for this season when the temperatures rise." - Katy

Ellis Brooklyn

Vanilla Sin Hair and Body Fragrance Mist 50ml, N/A

"Combining the two ‘it’ gourmand ingredients of 2025 – vanilla and black cherry, this sweet and uplifting hair and body mist has been accompanying me to the gym recently. The perfect refresher when I don’t want to douse my skin in perfume, it includes essential oils which I think improves how long the scent lasts on my skin and hair. As you’d expect, it’s really moreish too." - Katy

Olaplex

No.4 Fine Bond Maintenance® Shampoo, N/A

"Hair bonding products have a tendency to weigh my hair down which is frustrating as I need their reparative properties. That’s why I’m delighted Olaplex has tweaked its formula for fine hair types, adding strength, volume and bounce while hydrating and softening the hair. I’ve been following it up with the No.5 Fine Bond Maintenance Conditioner and I’ve noticed my hair has been less frizzy than usual too." - Sophie

Shiseido

Clear Suncare Stick SPF 50+, N/A

"This is so handy to keep on you in the day if you need to reapply your SPF. Ideal if you’ve been to the gym for a workout or love a lido session and don’t want to take a bulky bottle with you, I’ve found it glides on really easily and makes my skin look better all round." - Rebecca
