Origins Original Skin™ Renewal serum

Whether your battling with last minute coursework deadlines, early morning meetings or are simply weekending in a haze of Strawberry Daiquiris and cigarette smoke -  our skin puts up with a lot in our twenties.

It's easy to forget the cleanser after crashing out with your Friday night date and even easier to forget after a night out drenched in sequins and liquor with the girls - but failing to look after your skin can lead to our youthful glow slowly diminishing.

Our completion changes in our twenties - new research shows that imperfections can appear and our pours can gradually grow over time. These changes are not as noticeable as teenage acne or as intrusive as midlife wrinkles - but they are still noticeable.

Pamper your pores and perk up your complexion with the latest concoction from Origins. Their latest cocktail of skin saving miracle workers are a god send to those of us who don't quite manage our recommended eight hours or follow a strict skin care routine. The simple serum distresses skin with a help from natural ingredients straight from mother nature. The lotion deletes dullness with with extracts of willow herb, skinks pores with Algae and smooths roughness with Chest nut seed extract.

The Body Shop Shea Body Butter

The countdown to Spring has began and soon it will be time to replace our winter uniform of cosy jumpers and skinny jeans with a plethora of light summery dresses and spring time mini skirts. But after months of central heating, icy breezes and gloomy winters nights, it's not an easy task to release the denim and 300 denier tights from our manicured finger tips.

A whole season of cosy nights in and damp mornings has meant moisturising has not been at the top of our agenda. But fear not - The Body Shop has come to our rescue. The trusty beauty gurus at the high street hot spot have a delicious range of sweetly scented balms that relinquish the power to leave limbs luxuriously silky without upsetting even the most sensitive of skins. 

If you're not ready to embrace the summer just yet and head into the world smelling like a strawberry dream or a exotic coconut creation, by pass these balms and head straight to the Shea Body Butter. The simple concoction is infused with Shea oil soured from the Middle East where the glamazons of Ghana have been invigorating their skin with the liquid for centuries to shield their skin from the harsh Saharan winds. 

Lightly lace your legs in the gentle formula for a hint of every day glamour or really perk up your complexion and drench your body in the super rich butter before bed to wake up with outrageously glowing skin.

Leather Sparkles

We've all been there. You've been invited on a night out and you can't decide on what to wear. Do you wrap up in a body con dress, lace yourself in leather or shimmer in sequins? Why not go for all three? Leather is the perfect choice for winter, not only does it give off a sexy rock chick vibe - it also keeps you warm on these chilly winter nights. Leather can be a a tricky material to wear - it can make petite frames look bulky and cling to our awkward lumps and bumps. Bin your loose fitting leather and replace it with a skin tight dress; it will keep its shape all night and hold you in without a pair of Spanx in sight. To keep the dress from looking too gothic -  go for an embellished number. Gun metal silver jewels go with leather the best - add a little silver clutch and plain black shoes to finish off the look. For added glamour - pop a pair of sunglasses on and perfect your pout - this is a look that's going to grab attention.

Monochrome Mistress

Dressing between seasons can be tricky. The sun is beginning to peep out from behind the clouds but that chill in the air means it's still too cold for bare legs and mini shirts. Ditch the denim and dig out your old maxi skirt. The floor skimming garment had a massive fashion moment a couple seasons ago but has since slipped under the radar. The longer length skirt is perfect for keeping your legs warm without having to encase yourself in tight fitting jeans and leggings. The figure skimming design is much more flattering than a pencil skirt (especially after that lunchtime trip to Pizza Express) and the floaty finish gives the skirt a feminine feel; perfect for date night. 

If you're feeling brave - team yours with a long sleeved crop top. The splash of skin will keep the look youthful - and provides the perfect excuse to show off that toned midriff of yours! If you've been skipping the gym - pop on a cute cropped jumper that meets the waist band of your skirt. This will elongate your legs without the need to flash the flesh. Lavish your neck in helpings of gold chains and grab a boxy clutch to finish off the look.

Queen of Green

The freaky February weather means we don't know whether we should be rocking knit wear or Ray-bans. With short flurry's of snow followed by bursts of sun - our wardrobes are growing increasingly confused. Have the best of both worlds, and wrap yourself in a short sleeved jumper. The free arms will keep you cool while the fury material ensures you midriff is nice and toasty. Get yours in a delicious pastel colour; the delicate shade will take you all the way though spring (and maybe the summer as we're relying on the British weather). Keep the look colourful and team yours with a bright skirt. This emerald design is a Topshop bargain at £20. The asymmetric edging provides an interesting finish and the classic wrap shape means it's a real investment. Pop on some opaques, heels and a leather jacket to top off the look and beat the winter chill.

Dazzle in Denim

B*Witched might not be doing the Big Reunion any more, but that doesn't mean we can't still take some style inspiration from their 90s wardrobes. Double denim is as hot as ever; whether your chilling out in jeans or teaming your shirt with a chic skater skirt - denim on denim is a killer combo. Shirts made out of the much loved material are a great way to keep you hot under the collar this season. The loose fit makes for a relaxed look and hides that burger belly you've been harbouring since lunch time. Team yours with a statement necklace to keep it interesting and keep the rest simple. If your not feeling nostalgic for lashings of denim; rock your shirt with some disco pants. The shiny trouser still makes a statement without the risk of looking like an extra in a Levis advert. How ever you decide to work yours - make sure you top off your look with a pair of black ankle boots.

Get Layered in a Statement Jumper

Flourish in February with a statement jumper. They've been spotted everywhere, from the catwalks to celebville. Wool has always been a winter essential but on it's own it can risk looking dowdy. Catapult your favourite woolly ensemble into 2014 and rock a rhinestone design. Primark have created this rainbow inspired beauty and it can be yours for a mere £10. Not bad since our purses haven't quite recovered from Christmas. The wool is sensationally soft against your skin and the black colouring keeps the jumper looking sophisticated. Pop a white shirt underneath to keep you super cosy in the office and stylish for after work cocktails. For an extra touch, add a delicate name necklace. We've wanted one ever since Carrie made them cool in SATC and now we can rejoice as Very has answered our prayers and made this stunning silver plated piece. Now pass us a Cosmo...
