I’m allergic to nail polish/gels – any non-toxic nail alternatives?

I have exactly the same allergy, so I know how frustrating it is. The only thing that’s worked for me is The Gel Bottle’s HEMA-Free BIAB. No reaction at all, and I can still have strong, healthy nails without the irritation.

How can I stop my makeup from becoming oily, especially in the hot weather?

Less is more. Use a light layer of makeup and only conceal where needed. Set with the Kosas Cloud Set Baked Powder and Charlotte Tilbury Setting Spray, then use blotting papers throughout the day to keep shine at bay.

Focus on keeping it healthy. Use the rhute serum to support fuller-looking hair. Pair it with a gentle sulphate-free shampoo, use low heat when blow-drying, and keep up with regular trims to prevent split ends.

My foundation always flakes around my nose – how do I stop this from happening?

Gently exfoliate once or twice a week and make sure the area is well hydrated. Before applying makeup, blot away excess oil, use only a small amount of foundation, and press it in with a damp sponge instead of swiping.

I struggle with my makeup separating throughout the day. Any tips?

Prep your skin well with moisturiser and primer, and make sure you’re not mixing silicone and water-based products, as this can cause foundation to separate.
