“A form of art”

Hi Strands fans. I stumbled into today's answers while looking for clue words, accidentally connecting WOOD in the top-right corner.
From then on, I realized I was looking for artistic materials for sculptures, immediately finding STEEL in the bottom-right corner and GLASS along the left-hand side.
I then connected CLAY on the right-hand side, before spelling the spangram of SCULPTURE backwards from the bottom of the board to the top.
Three answers were left to find, starting with BRONZE written in the one remaining gap on the right-hand side of the board.
I then connected MARBLE in the bottom-left corner, and SOAPSTONE at the other end to complete the puzzle.

“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.
