THE AYURVEDIC TREATMENT:

Kumkumadi Facial By Kama Ayurveda

For a guaranteed glow-boost, this is what we’re booking this summer. Kama Ayurveda has just partnered with Katie England, one of London’s most sought-after facialists, to create a 90-minute treatment available exclusively at The Nomad as part of her ongoing residency. Honouring the brand’s bestselling saffron-infused Kumkumadi range, it’s one to have on your radar if you’re keen to revitalise dull, tired skin. Plus, it finishes with an oil-based scalp and hair massage which adds to the soothing, sensorial experience.

THE BODILY RESET:

Shape House

If you’re overworked and in need of some R&R, lymphatic drainage is such a tonic. Using manual, light pressure, it shifts fluid build-up, alleviates tension and supports the nervous system. Having earned rave reviews on the Melbourne wellness scene, Shape House – newly opened on London’s Cavendish Street – is a name to know. Combining therapeutic touch with a relaxing setting, each treatment is bespoke, designed to suit your individual needs and whisk you away into a state of deep calm.

THE SKINCARE INNOVATOR:

Keats

No-frills in the best possible way, this new skin launch is rooted in transparency. Brainchild of beauty powerhouse Lucinda Hart, who has spent the past 15 years developing products and creating formulas at Estée Lauder, Beauty Pie and Huda Beauty, Keats has caught our eye for good reason. Everything is under £30 and carefully formulated around clinically-proven active ingredient percentages so you know exactly what you’re getting – no false promises. Even the packaging is straight-talking. Our favourite is the Moisturising Cream, full of ceramides and phyto-lipids to give your skin a plump, bouncy sheen.

THE BIOMIMETIC-BACKED FORMULAS:

Mimétique

‘Biomimetic’ is one of those beauty buzzwords that’s being thrown around more and more. The idea is that these formulas mimic the properties of your skin to supercharge its natural processes or incorporate ingredients carefully chosen based on how they synergise with the skin’s structure. French label Mimétique – which drops in the UK this month – is built upon this very principle. Powered by its proprietary SMR-C5 complex, the formulas are full of actives naturally present in the skin and designed to maintain three key biological functions: defence, hydration and cellular regeneration. For a renewed radiance, try the Skin Revive Face Serum.

THE AFFORDABLE SCENTS:

Zara Beauty

One to watch in the affordable fragrance space, Zara continues to raise the bar. Brimming with nostalgia, its latest drop features hair mists and body creams that can be combined to intensify the scent, tapping into the playfulness of the layering trend. Created in collaboration with master perfumer Jérôme Epinette, the four fragrances have a distinctly summery feel, inspired by dew-soaked grass, salty skin and sun-kissed evenings. They’re youthful and cool, but not unsophisticated.

THE SUMMER DROP:

Diptyque The Summer Fruit Garden

A new season calls for a fresh scent. If you’re yet to find your summer signature, head to Diptyque. Inspired by a lush garden, the brand has repackaged some of its much-loved heroes in beautiful, botanical packaging, designed by artist Marie-Victoire de Bascher. Think ripe fig, uplifting citrus and aromatic herbs, available in formats ranging from candles and hair mists to oils and shampoos. Also, keep your eye out for the limited-edition lip oil, created in collaboration with Susanne Kaufmann, which has a nourishing, silky feel.
