Welcome back to the AR Beauty Beat, where we cover the must-have beauty and grooming releases of the month. As a fast-paced industry, there are new beauty and grooming releases each week. However, not all products are created equal. So, to help you differentiate the hits from the misses, we’ve put together the products worthy of your time this month.
Without further ado, here are the 14 best beauty and grooming releases of June 2022.
1. The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash And Brow Serum
Inspired by the success of their Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density, accessible brand The Ordinary has launched a new Multi-Peptide Lash & Brow Serum. Designed for use on eyebrows and eyelashes, the serum uses four types of peptides to safety promote hair density and thickness while nourishing and protecting lashes.
2. Biossance Squalane + Enzyme Sugar Body Scrub
Working double time to smoothen skin, the Biossance Squalne + Enzyme Sugar Body Scrub uses sugar crystals and pomegranate enzymes to slough off dead skin cells, while the brand’s signature sugarcane squalane deeply moisturises the skin.
3. Youth To The People Retinal + Niacinamide Youth Serum
The new Youth To The People Retinal + Niacinamide Youth Serum is all about working smarter, not harder. Retinaldehyde, a non-irritating retinoid, meets niacinamide, ceramides, and adaptogens in this serum, with the quartet working to provide transformative results without the irritation and downtime often associated with retinol use.
4. Holme Base Primer in Boom
Minimal makeup brand Holme Beauty has launched it’s second core product. The Base Primer in shade Boom! caters for darker skin tones.
