Your Post-Party Wellbeing Routine

Candles, lit. Music, on. Status, do not disturb. With your social calendar wrapped up, nothing is stopping you from settling into a long, soothing bath saturated with Omorovicza’s Budapest Bath Salts; the blend of rosemary, sage and geranium will do wonders for calming your mind and body. Soaking not your thing? Massaging in a body oil such as Aromatherapy Associates Deep Relax Bath & Shower Oil pre-shower will settle your senses. Keep Kama Ayurveda’s Rose & Jasmine Body Butter close by to intensely nourish skin and you’ll feel the fatigue leave your limbs in no time.

Picture this: you’ve stepped out of your ‘everything bath’ and slipped into new nightwear (a pair of Desmond & Dempsey pyjamas with a matching eye mask, naturally). The fireplace is crackling, and you can smell a combination of freshly washed hair and Onno's Majestic Red Candle that is emitting wafts of calm and cosiness, thanks to warm, woody notes. The fresh bed sheets are calling to be sunk into and your speakers are playing gentle rain ASMR. It’s official – you’ve reached an expert level of self-care and it’s bliss.  

Your instant glow-givers and multi-faceted routines have done the hard work on getting your complexion party-ready, but now is the time to prioritise ritual over routine. Think overnight creams, sheet masks and massage tools. Revitalise skin that’s lost its spark with 111Skin’s Celestial Black Diamond Lifting and Firming Treatment Mask that brightens and plumps; and treat tired eyes to firming and smoothing action with La Prairie’s Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream. Dedicating 10 minutes or more to using facial tools such as Ranavat’s Kansa Wand Detoxifying Facial Massage Tool or NuFACE’s Trinity Facial Trainer Kit encourages you to slow down, while working magically on your skin.

Beyond the obvious (hydration stations, everybody), there are a few key steps you can take to restore your inner beauty. Nourish your body and mind with the nutrients that they may be lacking thanks to vitamins and supplements like the Skin Quencher capsules. Your future self will thank you. It’s also a widely held belief that a cup of tea can solve anything – and it rings true, especially with our loose-leaf ginger tea when it comes to easing digestion after an indulgent evening. Stir through a spoon of manuka honey to, quite literally, sweeten the deal and pair it with an antioxidant-rich square of dark chocolate, like this 100% cacao box from To’ak.
