New Year fruit for shiny skin
A selection of potions with the apples, pomegranates and honey your face needs
Brigit Grant is the Jewish News Supplements Editor
We may have blown the shofar, but my interest in apples, honey and pomegranates never wains.
Apples keep more than the doctor at bay, as they are good for hydrating and honey is the go-to remedy for so many conditions, but is gentle on the face. Here are some potions which tick the right boxes.
Roots – an organic Danish skincare concept using the region’s native flora and fauna for ground -breaking skincare.
The Apple Complex Moisturiser(£25) is soothing but busy activating hydration. Available from: www.greenpeople.co.ukand selected Waitrose and Planet Organic.
WildBeauty is the skincare range from Rhug Estate in North Wales. Clover-rich pastures, rivers and clear streams is where the apples and honey are from in its Replenishing Mask with Rhug Honey (£75), which contains mineral-rich, detoxifying White Clay and skin- protecting honey produced by local bees who frequent flowers fed only on rain.
The Moisturising Lip Treatment with Beeswax (and honey) (£32) contains wild-foraged heather and arnica. www.rhugwildbeauty.com
D’ALCHÉMY Purifying Facial Cleanser(£23.80) is for mature, dry, sensitive skin with blemishes. This natural cleansing agent is perfect as a non-irritant, which protects the skin’s natural pH. Soap-free, it unblocks pores, soothes inflamed acne and, yes, it contains apple to even out skin tone, and pomegranate, which is an antioxidant preventing collagen deficiency. www.dalchemyskincare.uk
Infinite by Forever Hydrating Cleanser £25.50 and Forever Restoring Crème £56.33. The former has apple extract and apple amino acid mixed
with cocoa fatty acids which is really hydrating and not
sticky and drying like other washes. The crème is loaded
with aloe acai, popular pomegranate, and vitamin B3 to even out
tone and smooth parched old skin like mine . www.foreverbyglen.com
Product Of My Year
Apples and honey don’t get a mention here, but I suggest you invest in TEOXANE R [II] Eyes (£54). It is magic with a metal applicator and it instantly takes away the puffy under-eye nonsense that suggests no sleep.I’ve struggled to regulate sleep patterns, and this formula – which contains something called EPS Seafill, a marine biotech active and Escin, an antioxidant that stabilises collagen and elastin – allowed me to take o my sunglasses. It is the bees’ knees without the honey and will give you the eyes for a brighter new year. www.teoxane.com

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
