Product of the day

Is your bedside table like mine? Heaving with bottles, jars, pots, cream, lotions, potions, serums, sprays, ointments and all sorts. Well, I've discovered one thing that could make that chaos a things of the past.

Trilogy's Everything Balm, £20.43, is one product that can virtually do it all.

It is a balm to heal all wounds!

So, what do I use it for?

I rub my feet with it (the tootsies have been under a lot of stress this summer with all these amazing high heels in the shops) and the skin is smoother, softer and because of the essential oils, soothed.

I use it on the knees and elbows because these crinkly areas are not easy to get looking good.

It's great for dry and sore knuckles, too.

I smooth the ends of my hair with a little bit of it.

I comb a little through my eyebrows to tame and define them.

I love it as a lip balm.

My friend uses it on her baby - he gets a tiny bit of dry skin around his chubby little ankles and she finds it really helps.

I also like to rub it in to my nails and it softens the cuticles really well.

The delicate skin around my nose becomes red-raw when I have a cold, and this is so hydrating and soothing that it quickly fades and the redness is reduced.

If I have had a tough skin day - by that I mean in and out of the sun and wind, into an air conditioned office and car, and out for the night after work - when I get home and take my make-up off, I will warm the balm between my hands and press some into my face for an overnight skin boost.

That's only 10 or so uses off the top of my head and I am sure many of you have a whole load more ideas for it. It really is a great little product and ideal for going away as you only bring one pot rather than six or seven different things, the versatility means it offers excellent value.

I really think Trilogy have created a beauty bag secret everyone should invest in!

Available from Boots.

I cannot survive without Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate!

We all dream about having clear, bright, smooth and younger-looking skin don't we? Well, don't just dream about it at night, smear a dab of this on at night and you'll have it by morning!

I love this lightweight serum as your skin feels so refreshed and so luminous the next day and the feeling lasts all day.

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate is £36, which is a lot better value than most of the serums on the market and I really feel this is one the most effective and useful beauty tools.

Today's star is…Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Scrub!

I love a good exfoliation - there is nothing like it to make your skin glow and feel smooth.

I also love the top quality Aussie brand, Aesop, the entire range is beautiful, useful and indispensable!

So when the two are combined it is a winning formula to my mind!

So, what's so great about it?

It is not skin-type specific for a start, which means it's a great little product that you can keep in the shower and everyone can use, so you get more value for money.

Unlike some other scrubs which feel like you are being rubbed down by a wire wool pad, this is a gentle exfoliator.

The product is mildly abrasive rather than skin-flaying and it also has a detoxifying quality, as such it feels like you get a deep down clean; something more intensive than your average scrubs.

I love the feeling after using this scrub - your skin does look and feel smoother, but you also feel hydrated in some way. What more could you want?!
