“It's skin deep”

Hi Strands fans. With a theme like "It's skin deep", the hardest part of today's puzzle was figuring out what word or words "beauty" connected to, in order to complete the spangram.
Even that didn't take too long, and I duly added "care" to spell BEAUTYCARE and split the board in two.
I then saw that the 'Z' on the right-hand was part of MOISTURIZER, before turning my attentions to the isolated area in the top-left corner where SUNSCREEN lurked.
That left three answers to find in the remaining space in the bottom section. TONER was in the bottom-left corner, with SERUM above it. That just left CLEANSER to their right to complete the puzzle.

“A breath of fresh air”

Hi Strands fans. A tough one to get started with here, or at least it was for me. The theme of "A breath of fresh air" didn't give me much to work with, despite the two 'Z's on the board, so I ended up using a clue.
That revealed GUST spelt backwards up the right-hand side, which made it clear this was about wind.
That immediately made me realize what the 'Z' on the top line was part of, and I duly connected BREEZE. This isolated WHIFF to its right, and I then found PUFF a little below it.
It took me a while to find the next one, but eventually I connected FLURRY near the bottom of the board. I could now see how the word "wind" (which I had spotted earlier) connected, as I spelled out the spangram of GENTLEWIND.
Two answers were left to find. CURRENT was spelt downwards in the second row, which just left ZEPHYR next to it to complete the puzzle.
