The Beauty Radar: December
THE REBRAND
Wild Source
Holistic skincare label Wild Source has had an update. Rooted in plant power, the formulas are so soothing, and designed to elevate your everyday routine into a mood-lifting, sensory ritual. To get acquainted with the line-up’s most recent addition, Cleansing Melt – a luxurious, nutrient-rich balm – we recommend booking in with either expert facialist Ksenija Selivanova at Liberty orKatie England at The Nomad. The perfect remedy for winter-weathered skin.

THE BODY RESET
Thérapie Clinic Laser
Summer will be back around before you know it, and nothing beats silky-smooth limbs. If you’re over the faff of waxing and shaving, laser hair removal may be the solution. It’s one of those investment treatments that will pay dividends in months to come. For accessibility, we rate Thérapie Clinic – there are over 60 locations dotted across the UK and Ireland where it uses Cynosure IQ machines to cater to all skin types.

THE FESTIVE TREAT
Chanel Winter Tale
Chanel’s holiday collection never falters. Paying homage to the Northern Lights, this year’s colour palette feels hypnotic and original. Valentina Li’s vision leans into the biting cold – think frosted lashes and flushed cheeks. For a bold, bright eye, the Enchanted Night quad is so playful, and – almost too pretty to swirl your brush into – the Diamond Dust powder bathes your skin in a soft, pearlescent veil.

THE HAIR DESTINATION
Larry King, Marylebone
Hair guru Larry King’s third London salon feels like a homecoming – it’s located in Marylebone, the place where he met his wife and business partner Laura 25 years ago. Exuding the brand’s feel-good, unpretentious-luxury vibe, the two-storey space features a fully stocked bar, as well as a permanent photo booth, poised to capture your new do in all its glory.

If you’re looking to indulge, an Augustinus Bader treatment is the ultimate self-care gift.

THE SKIN LAUNCH
DAISYFACE
New skincare brand DAISYFACE has caught our eye with its sleek, one-of-a-kind packaging. Not only will the green aluminium bottles look elegant on your bathroom shelf, but they’re also recyclable and refillable. Harnessing the power of founder Daisy Schaffer’s namesake flower, the products are formulated with stem cells and oil to encourage turnover and fight free radicals, leaving your skin soft and noticeably brighter.
