Beauty Editor's Favourite “Lockdown” Beauty Discoveries

It’s officially been a year and half since the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. For many of us, that’s meant prolonged periods of time at home with our routines disrupted. Among the many unpredictable moments we continue to experience during this time, skin care and self-care have emerged with new value in our daily routines.

These are some of the beauty products we’ve discovered and most enjoyed during this unusual time. From a mood-boosting eyeliner to muscle-easing bath salts, these are the items that have soothed our complexions and our nerves.
