Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: AVEENO® UK & Ireland calming new skincare innovations 💙✨

Aveeno – longstanding hit with the sensitive-skinned Beauty Bible team – has long made a virtue of gentle, barrier-conscious formulas. The whole (supremely affordable) range harnesses the power of oats, which are notoriously soothing and calming. We recently tried this head-to-toe routine designed for skin that becomes dry, tight, reactive or simply needs a little more kindness – and could almost hear the sign of relief from our face/body.

An active antimicrobial hairbrush with flexible, scalp-friendly bristles, designed to detangle gently, reduce microbial build-up and suit every styling routine – from sleek smoothing to faster blow-dries. A definite hairbrush upgrade – especially useful in a household where there is absolutely no respect for someone’s else’s possessions, and you want to avoid the shared brush ‘eeeew’ factor!

And with its sleek handbag-friendly 8ml atomiser, it’s perfect for carrying a little calm wherever you go.

Jo's Scent Notes: Ode Ona Carte Blanche. A new tool in Jo Fairley’s olfactory kit for troubled times – though, she says, she’d wear Carte Blanche for its quiet beauty, not just as a balm for the stressed soul.

We couldn’t have a new Beauty Bible without a gathering of friends to launch it into the world – thank you to the wonderful people who came to last night’s gathering at the Royal Ocean Racing Club (Sarah’s husband’s club in St. James’s).

It was fab to have two of our ‘Real-Life Icons’ who appear in the book , and , there – and the brilliant who brilliantly wrote our section on Tweakments, because she’s the expert and we’ve never had so much as a syringe of Botox between us! (Or anything else, come to that.)

BOTH our Beauty Bible publishers were there – Kyle Cathie, who published the first eight volumes, and at who said some truly lovely things, explaining that waiting 30 years to publish this book, since she was the buyer at Harrods when the first one came out!

Thanks to for popping in before heading off to scoop up a Sunday Times Style Beauty Award! (Well done you!) Also so lovely so lovely to see journalists and make-up/skincare/haircare/tanning legends including – and bravo to for bringing her SIGNED copy of the oirginal 30-year-old Beauty Bible! (We BIG RE-signed it!)

And thanks to everyone who’s ever bought a Beauty Bible – and might just be buying this one...
