Experiencing ‘winter dinge’, yet? Frankly it would be a small miracle if you’re not, what with it not really having got light for what feels like weeks, now. Central heating, meanwhile, is not only the enemy of our bank balances, but also our complexions – so if you’ve got yours on, chances are it’s starting to look papery and a bit ‘flat’.

Gatineau Limited Edition Radiance Gommage is a truly fast fix: a super-gentle exfoliating which is designed even for the touchiest skins (like ours). It smooths on like a balm, then morphs into a satiny oil, perfect for gently massaging into skin so the ultra-fine beads (so minuscule you can barely feel them) slough away those dead cells. ‘Radiance’ by name, and honestly, living up to that, leaving skin positively luminous. Right now, that is MOST welcome. (You don’t need much, BTW: this tube will last for months and months and months.)

It also looks cute. Frankly – and maybe Gatineau should think about this, if we may be so bold – our eye was also caught by the packaging. A LOT of French products in all-white packaging land on our desks, over the space of a year, but the illustration caught our eye and got us to try this, in the sea of launches that cross our desk.

So glad we did.
