The masks feature a potent blend of 111Skin’s signature NAC Y2 complex (designed by brand founder and plastic surgeon Dr Yannis Alexandrides to protect the skin of astronauts) with Aman’s marine ingredients, including Kalpariane, a brown algae found on the coasts of France, which creates deep hydration, skin protection and stimulates collagen, alongside MYFerm, fermented wakame seaweed sourced from Jeju Island, which is intended to inhibit wrinkle formulation, and spirulina, which calms the complexion and leaves skin glowing.

Omorovicza bath oil and salts
Budapest-based brand Omorovicza has garnered a cult following by channelling the restorative properties of the city’s famous thermal baths into skincare and body products and now, the brand has just debuted its new bath oil and salts.
The oil is formulated with the brand’s 'Healing Concentrate’, composed of minerals from the thermal waters, and essential oils of rosemary, sage, geranium and chamomile, to hydrate skin and relieve tension and toxins. While the Bath Salts blend Hungarian, Dead Sea, Epsom and Himalayan salts to detoxify and relieve aching muscles. Together, they bring a flavour of the ancient baths of the ‘spa city’ into your home.
Aromatherapy Associates shower oils
If you are not much of a bath person, Aromatherapy Associates has a a wide range of oils that are designed for baths and showers. The Inner Strength oil was developed by the brand’s co-founder Geraldine Howard when she was undergoing cancer treatment, drawing on her extensive studies in aromatherapy to find the most powerful oils to deliver the comfort she needed.
Cardamom and frankincense are combined to help you recover from feeling run down, while clary sage offers clarity. It is great for moments of high stress when you feel you need to check out and reset, but also for less intense emotional periods when you feel tired and need a bit of an uplift.

Perfumer H candle
Whether recovering in the bath, your bed or on your couch, it is always good to have a luxury candle burning nearby to help create calm. The Honey candle from Perfumer H is a particular favourite of ours, with an intoxicating blend of wild herbs and flowers, with pine and cedar wood, and a hint of honey.

The Liver and Kidney drops from The Organic Pharmacy blend a potent combination of herbs-including dandelion, milk thistle, astragalus, marshmallow, berberis, artichoke and schisandra to support the two most important organs for detoxification.
