Fans of multi-taskers will love this new RMK Skintuner Cooling Gel; it doubles up as both a toner and moisturiser, and for all skin types to boot.
Besides its quick absorption, this gel is also designed to instantly cool down the skin. The accompanying powdery scent serves as a bonus treat to your senses.

Perhaps it’s because the heat has leached all of the moisture out of your pucker or just long hours in an air-conditioned room.
Whatever the reason, seek comfort with the Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil from Clarins (we hear it’s one of the brand’s best sellers). The blend of plant oils from organic jojoba and hazelnut will show those cracked lips the door.
