NEW BEAUTY RITUALS TOO GOOD TO QUIT
New year, new good-for-you skincare and beauty rituals. Start 2026 as you mean to continue, fresh-faced and feeling your best – inside and out.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
January marks a moment to recommit to simple, good-for-you habits that nurture skin and support everyday wellbeing. Think quick and convenient (hands-free!) tech, supercharged supplements and leave-in treatments that work hard – while you do the opposite.
Low-lift additions with serious impact, these treatments are easy to weave into current routines. Like the HigherDOSE Red Light Hat, which harnesses red light therapy to support healthy hair and scalp, or Manifesto’s Beauty Gummies – a buffet of vital nutrients, essential for skin, hair, nails and overall wellbeing. Fable & Mane’s HoliRoots Hair Oil which works overnight to promote strength and shine, while LYMA’s bestselling, celebrity-endorsed Laser Starter Kit, offers the toning, tightening and line-smoothing benefits of laser treatments – minus any downtime.

GET BETTER REST
Slow down, exhale and return to restorative self-care after a busy party season. From soothing bath rituals and bodycare to calming candles and pillow sprays, it's high time to upgrade your downtime.
Make your shower feel more like a spa with the help of Aesop’s verdant Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser – a fresh, uplifting way to elevate your daily shower ritual – and ease any post-workout pain with the help of The Nue Co.’s Magnesium Ease; an alkalising mist that helps to aid repair and relaxation. A cooling, gel-in-oil formula, no nightstand is complete with Orveda’s powerful Overnight Reviving Mask, developed to deliver a bumper-shot of moisture, while L’Occitane’s Shea Butter Hand Cream softens dry hands as it calms the day’s stresses with notes of jasmine and ylang-ylang.

SUPERCHARGE YOUR SKINCARE
Winter calls for skincare that revitalises – meet the nourishing formulas, soft exfoliators and barrier-building favourites designed to keep skin fresh, glowy and beautifully balanced.
The ultimate detox, Allies of Skin’s Azelaic Acid and Kojic Advanced Clarifying Serum is a purifying powerhouse – working to regulate sebum, refine skin’s texture and unify uneven tone, while Medik8’s Liquid Peptides Advanced MP is great for softening the look of lines and restoring a plump luminosity. A physical and chemical exfoliant, Grown Alchemist’s Polishing Exfoliator boasts finely milled bamboo particles and pink grapefruit, alongside cherishing rosehip and camellia seed oils to kick-start sluggish skin and enhance the efficacy of your serums, and Summer Fridays’ Gentle Reset Daily Exfoliating Pads are a great way to quickly recover your get-up-and-glow.

EQUIP YOUR GYM KIT
From the studio to the slopes, these performance-focused picks keep pace with an active lifestyle. Think sweat-smart skincare, on-the-go hair fixes and minimalist makeup to elevate your post-workout glow.
Enriched with hyaluronic acid, Cerave’s Hydrating Cleanser for Normal to Dry Skin is an ultra-gentle way to rinse the sweat away without disrupting equilibrium. A kit bag must-have, it’s the perfect, fuss-free formula to refresh and replenish your skin after exercise. And for the body, there’s Joonbyrd’s Moon Swim Body Wash – with vitamin E and prebiotics – to lift away dirt and impurities, while lifting your spirits with notes of vanilla, maple syrup, caramel and coffee bean.
If you workout outside, protect your complexion with Supergoop!’s Protec(Tint) Daily SPF Tint with SPF 50 – a featherlight, sweat-resistant shield between your complexion and the elements – then treat your post-run roots to a refresh with Living Proof’s non-chalky Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo.

DIAL UP THE DEW
Make everyday beauty feel effortless with soft tints, subtle hints of colour and lightly sculpting brow and lash accents. Here’s how the clean girl aesthetic is playing out in 2026.
Primer-meets-highlight, wear Saie’s Super Glowy Gel alone or mixed with tinted moisturiser to achieve a fresh, soft-focus radiance. With four shades to choose from, it’s the secret to skin that looks lit-from-within (essential when sunshine is scarce).
