Beauty News: Your anti-chafe champion

Your anti-chafe champion

I'm a recent convert to the Megababe brand and a huge fan. Founded in 2017 by body acceptance advocate (and my new hero) Katie Sturino, the products address a variety of taboo body discomfort issues that many of us face but have thus far been largely ignored by the beauty industry. Now, this solution-based brand has launched a hero range at Boots. Given that I know of one bride in particular who'd have had a very different wedding day had she been able to get her hands on the Thigh Rescue Anti-Friction Stick at the time, this is the champion I want to talk to you about. Quite simply, you can stop thigh chafe for good. The award winning formula creates a balm-like clear barrier that sits on top of the skin, allowing thighs that rub to glide smoothly against each other. Aloe, grapeseed oil and antioxidant rich vitamin E provides extra hydration for happy, healthy skin. There's also a mini stick available, perfect to keep in your clutch bag on the big day for any required top ups.

£12 (mini, £8), www.boots.com. Also check out www.cultbeauty.co.uk for even more of the range.

It was an exciting day when Mylee's new Unveiled collection arrived in the office!

Meet Bouquet Toss, Glass of Fizz, Garter and Wedding Night. "It wasn't easy to decide which one to try first, but after much deliberation I opted for Wedding Night, a soft subtle shimmering apricot. Easy to apply it cures under UV or LED lamp in 30-60 seconds. I went straight on holiday wearing it and after being in and out of the pool and sea it was just as flawless as when it went on – three weeks later and it's still going strong!"
