GROOMING SELF-CARE IIIII

ALL
FOR ONE
Self-care can take many
forms, but one aspect
is easy to overlook -
pampering yourself

M

arch is a forgotten time of the
year. It occupies that hinterland
between winter and spring; not
as celebrated as Christmas, not
so hyped as Easter, when nature's bounty is
abundant. However, it is a good period to reset
your intentions for the year. Make the most
of what you have, then, and give yourself the
time to take of yourself. If nothing else, a little
indulgence can enhance your wellbeing, too.
Start at the base and indulge in the Wake
Skincare Face Mask. Designed to rejuvenate
and cleanse after a heavy weekend, the pink clay
helps to exfoliate dead skin cells as it purifies
pores. It also protects your visage from harmful
UV rays, and helps prevent dryness and keeps
cells from being damaged.
There's no better treat for your peepers than
Bulldog's Energising Eye Roll-On. It's been
formulated using a blend of marine algae which
is more beneficial than it sounds. This provides
the skin with moisture and actively promotes
blood circulation. The roll-on helps reduces
dark circles, and also uses light-reflecting mica
to brighten the skin surrounding your eyes.
Skin and eyes might be the first candidates
when it comes to boosting one's feeling of
worth, but let's not forget hands and nails. The
Ted Baker Body Duo and Manicure Set is
the perfect solution. The nail clippers and nail

Finally, Amanda Harrington's New Skin's
Advanced Glycolic Body Scrub is an example
of a beauty product that occupies that sweet
spot between loving yourself and the planet.
Fusing a blend of glycolic and fruit acids, it
also contains biodegradable castor beads that
gently polish away dead skin cells in order
to restore smoothness both in and after the
shower. Meanwhile, the delicate hint of aloe
vera means you can step out of the door feeling
more confident, more revitalised, and most
importantly, indulged.

spray, so your whole self can benefit from this
grooming ensemble all encased in a stylish box.
Sometimes versatility is what you need.
Malin+Goetz's Meadowfoam is a new supersoothing balm with a variety of uses. Great as
a moisturiser, it can also be used as a lip balm,
make-up cleanser and beard conditioner. Its
consistency is similar to sebum (the substance
secreted by your skin), so it's easily absorbed.
It's suitable for all skin types and taps into the
brand's ethos to be used for everybody's body.
