Product Watch: Glowing and golden in May

Missing salon peels and manicures? Rachel Marie Walsh's pick of May's beauty launches keeps you glowing and golden.

Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Serum Crystal Elixir

A local salon e-mailed this week to let me know they plan to reopen in mid-May. Would I like to book something? I replied at once, curious whether they knew something undisclosed about the (UK) lockdown's end or some staffer was just going stir crazy (totally understandable: I'd been building the Dubai skyline from Lego all afternoon myself).

They replied with a list of hygiene and reorganisation measures they'd undertaken to make customers feel more secure if the business were cleared to open by mid-month but also admitting appointments would be cancelled if they weren't. Fortune favours the prepared. Beauty services are definitely high on my list of things to get out for when the lockdown ends.
