THE GLOW BOOST
MyBlend x Hershesons
Skincare innovator myBlend – brainchild of Dr Olivier Courtin, the son of Clarins founder Jacques Courtin – is all about synergy. It’s rooted in the idea that a combination of cutting-edge tech, formulas and supplements will result in a more supple, radiant complexion. Now, it has teamed up with much-loved hair salon Hershesons on a treatment menu, underpinned by the brand’s powerful non-invasive technology. For brighter, bouncier skin in just 30 minutes, we highly recommend The Express facial.

THE WELLNESS FESTIVAL
The Beauty Triangle
January lends itself to a bodily reset, and if you’re looking to make some tweaks, head to The Beauty Triangle’s wellness festival.

THE FRAGRANCE
Rose Exposed By Tom Ford
If Tom Ford’s latest launch is anything to go by, everything’s coming up roses. Tradition dictates that rosy fragrances have a soft, delicate quality, but this feels more after-hours – carnal even. Featuring a rose-on-rose combination of rose absolute and rose water extract, it has all the lushness of freshly picked blooms, but with a distinct edge. There’s earthy leather, but also a hint of spice thanks to white pepper and pink peppercorn. This is one to try if you’re into classic florals but after something slightly more robust for evening.

THE RESTORATIVE FACIAL

Designed to nurture both skin and senses, a treatment at Aesop is the ideal remedy for dull, winter-weathered skin. First, the soporific interiors will melt away the stresses of city life. Then, true to its name, the Brilliant Performers facial combines circulation-boosting massage and luxurious, nourishing formulas to slow your pace and leave you feeling renewed.

THE SHADE EXPANSION
Merit Flush Balm
There’s a reason this unassuming blush has garnered a cult following – it really is that good. Among its converts are beauty editors, make-up artists and celebrities, all obsessed with the sheer, creamy consistency that feels weightless on the skin. It has recently dropped five new shades, including ‘Le Bonbon’, a cheery, playful pink which looks resplendent on darker skin tones, and welcomed back ‘Terracotta’, the most flattering tawny nude. A cinch to apply, simply dab it into the apples of the cheeks and blend upwards.

THE SKIN NEWCOMER
REFY Skin
Certified cool-girl brand REFY’s hotly anticipated skincare line is finally available, and we’ve been busy road-testing. There’s a gel-to-foam cleanser which leaves your skin feeling fresh and balanced, but the hero has to be Face Sculpt. The genius lies in the application: the bottle is fitted with five mini rollers which feel so soothing, but also help you work the velvety gel-cream texture into your skin, resulting in reduced puffiness and an overall more energised look.

THE FLAGSHIP STORE
Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Wonderland
In true Tilbury style, the brand opened the doors of its new Covent Garden store to much fanfare last week. Brimming with Instagrammable moments, the next-gen beauty destination is unapologetically flamboyant, featuring jumbo-sized lipsticks, interactive fragrance zones, a bubblegum-pink telephone box and Charlotte’s Pillow Talk Parlour – a dreamy makeover space which is bookable for special occasions. But it’s also great if you’re after a sense of calm. On the basement level sits its Skin Spa, where you can unplug and enjoy a restorative facial using products from its award-winning skincare line.
