Does your skin feel like it's got a mind of its own? That it takes little more than a new soap or a change in weather to flare inflammation, rashes or itchiness? Modern life, not to mention the last year of stress and mask-wearing, has made reactive skin a reality for many. And those who struggle with sensitive or sensitised skin often miss out on the benefits of skincare products that contain game-changing ingredients such as acids and retinol. 

Knowing this, Tata Harper has been quietly working away at her 485-hectare organic farm in the Champlain Valley of Vermont, USA, to develop a line of skincare that delivers powerful results without irritating sensitive skin.

It's called Superkind, for obvious reasons, and includes just three products: The Softening Cleanser, which Harper refers to as a "cleansing treatment"; The Radiance Mask, which includes a self-neutralizing AHA blend of phytic and lactic acid; and The Fortifying Moisturizer which contains vitamins A, B, C, as well as AHAs and other ingredients to protect skin from extreme environments and conditions.

Calling it skincare-first make-up, Tatcha's The Silk Powder is a protective talc-free powder that blurs imperfections and sets make-up, while creating an invisible barrier to protect the skin by filtering pollution and blue light exposure. 

Crafted with amino acid-rich silk extracts, Japanese pearl, and Tatcha’s proprietary complex Hadasei-3™, The Silk Powder gives a soft, radiant finish by reducing the look of pores and wrinkles, absorbing excess oil, and minimising shine without drying or caking.

Since it was founded by Max Huber in 1994, La Mer has been inspired by the healing powers of the ocean, and taken ingredients from her to create its legendary skincare range. To give back, La Mer's Blue Heart initiatives helps to support ocean conservation efforts around the world.

Available from June 1, this year's annual Limited-Edition Blue Heart Crème de la Mer jar features an artistic design inspired by the pattern of bioluminescent corals. Inside is the same luxurious cream that contains La Mer's signature elixir, Miracle Broth™, to soothe and moisturise skin.

Louis Vuitton has been going hard with its perfume launches lately, and we're absolutely loving it. The latest release is its seventh men's fragrance, Imagination. 

The Maison’s Master Perfumer, Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud, created Imagination in his atelier at Les Fontaines Parfumées, in Grasse, where he brought together the unlikely combination of amber and black tea from China for a fresh yet smokey scent. 

“I’m very attached to the literal expression of raw materials,” says Cavallier-Belletrud. "“The tea evokes the magic of the East, an imaginary scene of caravans. It carries within it the spirit of travel, like an olfactory transcription of Louis Vuitton’s universe."
