Nécessaire, Herbivore and More Skincare Brands Are Up to 40% Off at Space NK Right Now—Here Are the Best Buys

Once you try Nécessaire The Body Wash Eucalyptus, you’ll never want to go back to drugstore body wash! It has a light, fresh, natural eucalyptus scent that doesn’t overpower, and a little goes a long way to produce a luxurious lather. Rinsed off, your skin feels clean, soothed and hydrated—not stripped.

Herbivore Pink Cloud Creamy Jelly Cleanser is one of my favourite cleansers, and a formula that I’d recommend to everyone. With its cream-gel texture, it gives you the cleaning power of a gel, but with the gentleness of a cream. It’s sulfate-free, non-greasy and rinses away with zero residue. 

I recently named Nécessaire The Body Lotion Fragrance-Free the best overall body lotion. What makes it so special? First of all, it’s full of great ingredients, including shea butter, jojoba oil and niacinamide. It’s super-moisturizing but fast-absorbing. And it’s unscented, so it won’t clash with your fragrance of choice.

If you’re in the market for a summer moisturizer, Caudalie Resveratrol-Lift Lightweight Firming Cashmere Cream would be a great choice. I’ve long been a fan of the lightweight hydrators from this brand, and this formula is no exception. Aimed at combination skin, it has a light silky texture, is oil-free and silicone-free, and has pearl particles for a subtle glow.

I’m a big believer in regular gentle exfoliation, and the Herbivore Prism Exfoliating Glow Serum is a nice way to do it. This is an aloe-based serum infused with 12% naturally-derived AHAs, and 3% BHAs from willow bark. This combination will not only remove surface dead skin but also get into pores to prevent breakouts. You’re meant to apply it as often as nightly (without rinsing off). It will lightly hydrate your skin, too!

Plenaire Rose Jelly Gentle Makeup Remover is a makeup-removing cleanser from the clean beauty brand being dubbed “the next Glossier.” In addition to the cool packaging (and gorgeous rose scent!), it has a unique jelly texture that melts away makeup with no need for scrubbing. 

For an alternative to L-ascorbic acid (which is notoriously unstable), Goldfaden MD Brightening Elixir Advanced Brightening + Anti-Oxidant Treatment deserves your consideration. It’s made with sodium ascorbyl phosphate, a vitamin C derivative with brightening and anti-acne benefits. There’s also hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and ferulic acid—with only 11 ingredients in total.

Rather than self-tanner (which can actually produce free radicals!), I always recommend body bronzers as the best way to get a sun-kissed glow. My top pick is Isle of Paradise Disco Tan, a clean beauty formula that gives you buildable, realistic colour that lasts 24 hours.

Hand cream connoisseurs agree: Nécessaire The Hand Cream Fragrance-Free is one of the best formulas ever. It’s rich but not greasy, fast-absorbing and long-lasting. I love the ingredients (which include squalane and shea butter), and the fact that it’s unscented. The tube is also très chic! 

I feel like everyone needs a good hydrating mask in their arsenal, and Plenaire Skin Frosting Deeply Hydrating Mask is the perfect contender. It’s a creamy mix of squalane, glycerin, shea butter and cocoa butter, meant to be worn for up to 15 minutes. 

What could be prettier than this Fresh Freesia Oval Soap, wrapped up in decorative floral packaging? Inside is a delicately scented, shea butter-based bar that moisturizes while it cleanses. Thanks to the brand’s milling process, it is denser than most soaps, so it should last for ages.

Do you exfoliate your face, but forget about your body? Nécessaire The Body Exfoliator Eucalyptus can change that habit—it’s one of the gentlest and most effective scrubs on the market. It’s both a physical and chemical exfoliator, with a fine texture and soft lather. Your skin will be smoother in a matter of minutes! 

If your skin finds retinol too irritating, Herbivore Bakuchiol Smoothing Serum is one of the best alternatives. Bakuchiol is a plant alternative to retinol that has similar benefits for wrinkles, loss of firmness and sun damage. I like that this serum is so lightweight, with humectants like aloe and glycerin to hydrate.

I like my makeup to be as good for my skin as my actual skincare products—which is why I always have some RMS Beauty “Un” Cover-Up Concealer in my makeup bag. It’s made from the highest-quality natural ingredients, and perfects your skin without ever looking heavy. I love this for dark circles, and you can even sheer it out as a foundation.
