Beauty editor Lynette Botha on this month’s best buys, inspiring finds and other beauty news

If you’ve seen our Beauty Top 10 this month, you’ll know how much I’m loving all things natural – they’re good for the skin and gentle on the environment. In fact, the growing number of natural products that are available is a little overwhelming but nevertheless inspiring. Two local brands we love are Rain and Savane (www.savaneskin.co.za) which launched just last month. Try Savane Gentle Exfoliant with Rooibos, Marula and jojoba, R350; Savane Protective Moisturizer with Baobab, Manketti, Kigelia and Yangu, R660.
