MAKING A SPLASH

We put the latest swimming gear to the test after pools and gyms re-open

WITH pools, gyms and sports facilities open again, swimming is a brilliant way to keep fit – and destress at the same time.

Today we size up the latest swimming gear, while our Beauty Editor tests out cleansers with hyaluronic acid, which traps water to boost moisture.

Speedo Futura Biofuse Flexiseal goggles are ideal for a comfortable fit

For a comfortable fit and budget price, Speedo Futura Biofuse Flexiseal goggles are ideal.

The flexible seal fits round the eyes and the contours of the face, leaving no marks. With anti-fog coating and wide-vision lenses, they didn’t steam up and gave full visibility in the pool. I loved these.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Cleanser gives skin a boost of hydration

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Cleanser gives skin a boost of hydration

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Cleanser for Dry Skin, 200ml, £5.33, boots.com: A new, lightweight gel that activates with water to lather off dirt, oil and make-up, while giving skin a boost of hydration thanks to the hyaluronic acid.

I wasn’t a huge fan –  I struggled to get all the lather off and my skin felt a bit tight afterwards. Not great for very dry skin.

MID RANGE

CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser, 236ml, £9.50, lookfantastic.com:
Foaming cleansers can strip the moisture from normal or sensitive skin.

This deep-cleans without harming the skin through a mix of ceramides, hyaluronic acid and amino acids. I liked it. Not a fancy bottle but a simple cleanser that got rid of all my make-up.
