Sisley Sisleya L’Integral Anti-Age Radiance Anti-Dark Spot Serum

Lines and wrinkles may get more airtime, but studies have found that uneven skin tone and texture can be just as incriminating when it comes to perceptions of age. Cue this ultra-light gel-serum designed to help you get even.

The perfect antidote to post-summer pigmentation, it offers a triple whammy of radiance-revealing ingredients. The first is hexylresorcinol – Sisley’s key skin-brightening ingredient which together with lansium extract help to reduce the appearance of dark spots. The second is a mineral complex combined with active ingredients of rosehip extract and ginkgo biloba extract to brighten and tone. Finally, a soy peptide extract combines with wrinkle-smoothing adenosine to restore luminosity from within.

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Light Catcher, Celestial Light

There are face powders and then there are Laura Mercier face powders. The original may have secured its place in the makeup hall of fame but this luminous upgrade is sure to achieve cult status among those in the know.

Providing 12 hours of wear, this silk-light, finely milled masterpiece not only sets makeup for as long as you need it to, but the multi-dimensional pearl blend means that it blurs and smooths the appearance of pores and fine lines. With three shades to suit virtually all skin tones, we say ‘let there be light.’

Charlotte Tilbury Cryo-Recovery Face Mask

From cryotherapy chambers to ice swimming, cranking down the thermometer just became cool. Just as well that there also happen to be plenty of dermatological benefits to feeling the chill, eh?

Controlled cold can stimulate the skin and improve microcirculation. This reusable mask by makeup maven Charlotte Tilbury draws on both the ice tech of cryotherapy and the ancient art of acupressure. Simply pop it in the freezer for 30 minutes and relax as the cooling metal beads work on acupressure points while the gel bead pockets target the chin, jawline and nasolabial lines for skin that looks smoother, firmer and more lifted.

Scent Series Discovery Box Fragrance Gift Set

This exquisitely curated collection of fragrances is the ultimate way to broaden your olfactory horizons. Buy for someone special (and take credit for potentially helping them find ‘the one’) or keep for yourself as part of a mini fragrance wardrobe.

Each drawer is divided into five different scent families. Drawer one contains fresh and uplifting fragrances such as Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Vitae Cologne Forte Eau de Parfum (a citrusy unisex fragrance reminiscent of a strip of sunlight on clean sheets on holiday). Drawer two offers warm and sensual fragrances such as Parle Moi De Parfum Woody Perfecto (an elegant vetiver scent for boys and girls). Drawer 3 is for the soft and cocooning fragrances such as Maison Crivelli’s Iris Malikhân Eau De Parfum (aromatic and wild with a powdery trail). Drawer 4 boasts powerful and rich fragrances like Creed’s Aventus (a fruity chypre for men). And drawer 5 is reserved for the playful and vibrant fragrances such as Juliette has A Gun’s Lipstick Fever Eau de Parfum (like inhaling the contents of a femme fatale’s makeup bag).

Neal’s Yard Remedies Women’s Balance Body Collection

Being a woman has its ups and downs and sometimes we all feel a little out of whack but this new range of self-care heroes are designed to recalibrate body and mind in order to restore harmony.

Inspired by Neal’s Yard’s best-selling Women’s Balance Aromatherapy blend (a restorative infusion of relaxing patchouli, uplifting geranium, nurturing rose and rejuvenating frankincense), it features a shower oil, massage oil body cream and bath salts. Offering a sense of balance through the body’s natural cycles and life stages, it’s designed to help harmonise hormones and bring a sense of zen in order to garner more ZZZs come bedtime.
