FLOWER POWER

Model, mother, actor and activist Emily Ratajkowski is every bit the modern feminine icon – so she’s perfectly cast as the new face of another contemporary classic, Viktor&Rolf’s Flowerbomb perfume.

“I like that Flowerbomb is about strength as much as it is about femininity,” says Emily – which sums her up pretty well too, we think.

If you fancy reacquainting yourself with the eau de parfum, it starts from £59 for a 30ml bottle.

HELPING HANDS

It’s usually at this point in the year that I look down at my hands and curse myself for not starting a strict hand cream routine at the first sign of cold weather. This year, however, I’m feeling pretty smug, because I got my mitts on Garnier’s Hand Superfood Repairing Balm, £4.99, back in November – and my hands are seriously thanking me for it.

Available in two versions, the balms are super nourishing, yet soak in to leave fingers touchscreen-friendly after just a couple of minutes.
