As we move past party season, we’re shedding the noise (and the glitter) to put our wellbeing first and embrace our unique at-home rituals. Unsure where to start? Here are the wellness products we turn to every time our skin and soul need a little lift. Imagine the all-natural favourites that make us look good, feel even better, the sleep sprays that keep us hibernating all month long, and the vegan beauty supplements that really work. We know, you’re welcome.
GLOW Inner Beauty Essential
Best for: Luminous skin
Rarely do supplements make the same waves as all-natural brand, The Beauty Chef, known for their results-driven blends that show us a healthy gut means healthy skin. The brand’s first and bestselling supplement, GLOW, is supercharged with 18 certified organic wholefoods rich in probiotics, postbiotics and a host of beauty-boosting vitamins. We pair with their Collagen blend - as recommended by founder, Carla Oates, for amplified results.
Natural Marine Collagen Original
Best for: Gut health
Healthier skin? Check. Thicker hair? Check. Stronger nails? Check. Harnessing the power of collagen sustainably sourced from fish skin, this clinically proven supplement is designed to help us all embrace ageing in the best way we know how. As they put it, they want us to shine at every age, and with this flavourless, drink-friendly formula, Vida Glow knows exactly what they’re doing. It’s multi-tasking and we love it. And if you’re unsure? Just let the hundreds of 5* reviews speak for themselves.
Deep Sleep Pillow Spray
Best for: Your best night’s sleep
Missing out on even a couple of hours of sleep each night leaves us running on a sleep debt that gets harder and harder to pay ourselves back for. This might sound hopeless, but it’s not. We know by now that natural remedies can be as effective as their chemical counterparts - especially this cult pillow spray. Infused with Camomile, Lavender and Vetiver, the brand’s signature scent sells out (more than) regularly for good reason. Just mist onto your bed linen before bed to breathe in the relaxing aroma. Skeptics beware: you’ll be eating your words as soon as your head hits the pillow.
Skin Youth Biome
Best for: Your daily Vitamin C hit
This new year, health is wealth - which is why we’re choosing supplements that support us from the inside out. With Skin Youth Biome’s superpowered mix programme, Vitamin C contributes to collagen formation and the four scientifically studied live culture strains help to balance your gut. The result? Healthy gut flora and healthy skin. Of course, we always recommend getting your Vitamin C from natural sources - like oranges, bell peppers and cauliflower - but a boost from this supplement is sure to lend a helping hand.
Aura Manuka Honey Mask
Best for: Manuka magic
Known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties, Manuka Honey is one of the industry’s best kept secrets - one Antipodes has tapped into with this bestselling face mask. Our pick for keeping skin soothed and soft every night of the year, they say it brings peace and calm to your aura and we can’t help but agree. When paired with antioxidant Vinanza Grape extract, bioactive Pohutukawa Flower and the soothing scent of Vanilla and Mandarin, this is one staple our routine never goes without.
