We've long since moved past the grooming product gender divide and so make no apologies for loving to death the new Daily Prep Foaming Scrub from men's line Sharps. Though the oil-free goo is made out of pulverized marble (how butch is that?) and bentonite clay (for de-greasing), it's gentler than you might imagine as it exfoliates your mien, considering it's made to cut through beard hair. Mix it down with water for even more tenderness.

Though it still sounds like pond scum to us, there's no denying the beauty benefits of algae. It's full of anti-oxidants, nourishes like mad, stimulates circulation and reduces sebum. Add to that the salicylic acid and tea tree oil in algae-obsessed French line Algotherm's Acne Serum spot treatment, and you've got fab breakout prevention without the usual redness and flaking that come with harsher products. Now don't you wish you had paid attention in Marine Biology class instead of perving on that hot skater two rows ahead?

After three months of politically incorrect tanning, if your skin isn't itchy, red, pustule-y and messed up, you have some explaining to do. While you're composing your subterfuge, the rest of us will be out buying Carita's new Crème de Coton. A gentle, pudding-like, totally un-greasy moisturizer with soothing mint leaf and protective cotton cells, it's the skincare equivalent of half a Valium and a G&T. 50 ml for $115 at Barneys New York.

We're just as tired as you are of those faux retro, girl-powered beauty lines that launch every week. But Femme Fatale, Australia's answer to that interminable onslaught of cuteness, has stuck around since 2001 because their products jus so happen to be good. Take the new Luscious Lather, a rich bath and shower gel that sudses up beautifully and rinses off clean. Of the five scents, go for Powdery Boudoir Kisses (we know) is the winner, and much fresher-smelling than the name implies.
