Hibiscus Night Cream, Irene Forte Skincare

From the fields of sun-drenched Sicily, straight to your skin; Irene Forte Skincare was founded by Irene Forte, wellness director of the Rocco Forte Hotels group. Each product in the natural skincare line is created with ingredients grown on the organic farm at Rocco Forte Hotels’ Verdura Resort in Sicily, essentially acting like a shot of Mediterranean sunshine. The company hand-blends ingredients like organic olive oil, floral hibiscus (known for its anti-ageing properties), fragrant lavender and herbal rosemary with icy fresh mineral water from Sicily’s mountainous Madonie Regional Natural Park. Irene Forte’s Hibiscus Night Cream combines hibiscus with antioxidant-rich green peas and olive oil fractions, naturally high in squalene, to smooth and nourish the skin, while minimising the appearance of fine lines and creases.

Invigorate Body Scrub, COMO Shambhala

COMO Shambhala’s healthy living philosophy takes its inspiration from mythological roots: in ancient Buddhist texts ‘Shambhala’ refers to a sacred place of bliss. This philosophy is reflected in the brand’s products, which incorporate only premium-grade pure essential oils and always remain free of harmful substances, including sodium laurel sulphate, parabens, silicones and synthetic substances like artificial colour and fragrance. Start your day on a refreshing note with this hydrating body scrub. Sugar and salt exfoliate the skin, while a deliciously fragrant blend of almond, coconut and shea butter soothe and soften the skin. Close your eyes and imagine you’re at the Como Shambhala Estate in Ubud, Bali.

The Body Crème, La Mer

La Réserve Ramatuelle in France is a health spa near St Tropez, enveloped by serenity. La Reserve has its own in-house range, but it is also home to the only Crème de la Mer spa in France. Beauty legend has it that La Mer’s supremely nourishing Body Crème was created after the brand discovered that a Harrods customer was slathering her body in multiple pots of the revered face cream. Thus, the sophisticated 300ml tub of ultra-nourishing goodness was born, packed full of healing properties to hydrate, renew and revive ageing skin. The body care collection also includes lotions, balms and cooling gel, all of which use La Mer’s signature Micro-Algae Complex as their foundation.

Natural Skincare, ESPA

Perched on a verdant hillside high above Cannes sits Le Mas Candille, an idyllic 18th-century manor house-turned-spa hotel. Treatments use products by ESPA – always a sign that you’re in for a real treat. The brand’s line of natural skincare is designed to promote inner calm, whilst leaving your skin cleansed, scrubbed and deeply nourished. Light some candles, pour yourself a bath and enjoy a little quality ‘you’ time.
