Groove Scalp Massager 2, £18 | Free People
Scalp health is incredibly underrated – after all, a healthy scalp equals healthy hair. If yours could do with some TLC, a simple way to stimulate follicle growth, increase blood circulation and better distribute healthy oils and nutrients is with a vibrating massage tool. Use it in the shower to cleanse and exfoliate, or use it to comb through conditioner and masks. You could even use it on dry hair with a bit of hair oil.

Eye Catcher Lid Tint, £19 | Honest Beauty
Clean, vegan and smartly formulated, Jessica Alba’s Honest Beauty has become an industry favourite for a reason. This particular product will add a flattering wash of colour to the eyes without feeling too dramatic. It’s more of a metallic, glossy finish, as opposed to a harsh glitter – plus, you can build it up or sheer it out depending on your preference.

Enlightenment Serum, £15 | Prima
Wearing make-up every day can lead to clogged pores and a dull complexion, so it’s worth having a product that will brighten, refine and restore some glow at the end of the night. This CBD serum is exactly that. Formulated with potent levels of niacinamide and antioxidants, use it after cleansing for best results.

Travel Deodorant, £10 | Summary
Aside from the fact a roll-on deodorant is far more environmentally friendly, this particular one is also better for your skin – and it comes in a handy travel size. The unique ‘superflower’ formula includes butterfly pea flower extract, witch hazel water, bamboo powder and white willow bark extract, all of which work to combat odour-causing bacteria and regulate perspiration. The lemon, ginger and bergamot scent is a bonus.

Australia’s top-selling mineral make-up brand Nude by Nature champions healthy skin from the inside out. This loose powder is feather-light in texture, despite being formulated with SPF15.

Heavy Conditioner, £9 | Pattern
Pattern was launched with curly, textured and afro hair in mind, but its nourishing, strand-transforming formulas are a treat for anyone in need of some serious hydration. This conditioner is designed to combat lacklustre, dry and dull hair, though coiled and curly hair types will benefit most from using its blend of avocado oil, shea butter and safflower oil.
