you have, the fewer

Living Proof ’s Triple Detox
Shampoo, £25, cleanses away
product build-up, tackles the
effects of pollution without
stripping colour, and comes
with a hard-water indicator
to assess your water supply
(and therefore how often you
need to detox). Meanwhile,
for all hair types – from fine
and straight to thick, tightly
coiled curls – Aveda’s new
Nutriplenish shampoo and
conditioner range, from
£25, contains a superfood
complex that hydrates
without silicones.Hair transformersDuolab, the new beauty tech brand from
French house L’Occitane, promises to revolutionise
(and digitise) your routine. The Duolab system prescribes
skincare through a special app. Product “pods” – available
in three moisturising bases and five targeted concentrates- are then sent to you each month, to match skin’s 28-day
renewal cycle. At home, the Duolab device warms the pods’
contents to skin temperature in 90 seconds (thermo-cosmetic
technology is proven to help products penetrate more
effectively). Elemis pods designed to fit Duolab will soon be
available, with other brands sure to follow – plus, every
used pod can be recycled free of charge.
