The Shieldaig peninsula to the south of Loch Torridon is particularly beautiful.

Torridon lies in the shadow of three mountains, each of which are considered among the finest in Scotland. Beinn Alligin, the smallest of the three (although by no means small!), as a fantastic ridgeline traverse and some truly spectacular viewpoints. Beinn Eighe is the bulkiest of the three, and walkers are rewarded with spectacular scenery of Coire Mhic Fhearchair, with its cliffs looming over a lochan. It is here that the tragedy of the 1951 Lancaster plane crash that led to the formation of the modern-day mountain rescue teams. The third mountain, Liathach, is a long, technical walk with over 1300m of climbing and should be taken on only by experienced walkers. Between the three mountains, six Munros (summits over 3,000ft) can be ‘bagged’.The brand’s bestselling DIVE-IN line is formulated with hyaluronic acid in five different sizes (including sodium hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, sodium acetylated hyaluronate, low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate) to thoroughly hydrate the different layers of skin. This hypoallergenic skin care range also features a patented blue complex made of six blue herbal extracts (namely chamomile, lavender, hyacinth, clary sage, cornflower and borage) to soothe and hydrate skin. Other ingredients that are harnessed in the series include eggplant extract and malachite, an antioxidant that helps calm skin. Turmeric and witch hazel extracts can also be found in the DIVE-IN line for soothing benefits. But having tried so many wonderful hydrating serums over the course of the past years, I simply cannot claim that this is the one that blew me away. It is just a tad too simple for my 43-year-old skin, I just need a tad more overall by now. If you are more on the dry skin side, if you have mature skin, and if you are extremely dehydrated, this honestly won’t cut it for you. I feel the Torriden Dive-In Serum is more for younger skin and for those who don’t have extreme hydration needs. It also could work very well for people who are very sensitive and want to keep irritation to a minimum. Because this is where the serum excels, for sure: it is a very fuss-free, straight-forward product that provides simple and fast, basic hydration. Cue the Torriden Dive-In Serum, with its ultra minimalist formula and promise of “safe” ingredients! The main selling point of the serum has always been its use of high quality, lower molecular hyaluronic acid. While higher molecular-sized HA tends to mostly “sit” on the skin, helping to boost skin barrier function and protect skin from outside stressors, lower molecular hyaluronic acid can penetrate more deeply into skin, replenishing hydration and giving a plumping, smoothing effect. The Torriden Dive-In Serum uses 5 types of hyaluronic acid, plus humectant glycerin, betaine and beta-glucan. One of the unique features of this serum is its pastel blue color, which is naturally derived from malachite extract. Not only does this give the serum a visually appealing hue, but it also provides an extra fortifying boost to your skin. As I already mentioned, I’ve been obsessed with trying this serum for years now, hearing so many amazing things about it! People claim that its hydrating properties are basically unrivalled, declaring it the best serum for sensitive skin, with the purest and best ingredients imaginable.

The pandemic and its effect on the skin thanks to mask-wearing and constant stress also changed the way Koreans approach their skincare. Maskne and other sensitivity issues made people look for extra gentle, minimalist formulas, with previously more “low key” soothing ingredients such as Panthenol suddenly taking the spotlight.The Trust’s countryside centre is currently closed for a review and development of future plans, but it’s a great place to start a low-level walk around Torridon and the coast. Part of the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve is on the Torridon estate and, along with other designations, the estate supports an impressive variety of flora and fauna, including important plant colonies, rare mosses and lichens, and the elusive pine marten and golden eagle.
