Unlock the Secrets to a Glowing Winter with These Wellness Hacks

Embrace a Witchy Facial

In the heart of Soho, Salon C Stellar offers an Astro Facial that combines skin science and astrology. By using a Zodiac oil tailored to your moon sign, determined from your birth time and place, and playing a moon-specific soundtrack through headphones while undergoing a Dermalux MD LED light treatment, this unique experience relieves stress. As Andrea Pfeffer explains, stress triggers the release of cortisol, accelerating ageing and inflammation. Relaxation and positive emotions, on the other hand, stimulate the release of endorphins and oxytocin, promoting skin repair and rejuvenation.

During these shorter days, looking inward becomes more prominent. This facial treatment not only focuses on the skin but also addresses the mind-body connection, providing a holistic approach to wellness.

A Guaranteed Glow

Lucia Pica, creative image and make-up partner for Byredo Beauty, recommends Bâton de Lumière from the Gilded Memoir collection. Applied as a base all over the face before adding other makeup, it gives a luminous transparent skin that makes everything look more modern and dewy. Finding the balance between strong makeup accents and beautiful skin is crucial, and this product helps achieve just that.

Whether you prefer a bold lip or focused eyes, this product enhances the overall look, adding a touch of radiance that lasts throughout the winter season.

Consider the Chop

Winter is the perfect time for a hairstyle switch-up, as star hairstylist George Northwood notes. The "Perriand" bob, with its one-length cut and softness, is a trending style. Finishing with Moisturising Cream from Undone by George Northwood keeps the ends sleek and adds to the overall look.

A hairstyle change can give a new lease on life and enhance one's confidence during the winter months. This simple yet stylish cut is both modern and timeless.

Hook Yourself Up

With flu virus activity peaking between December and February in the Northern Hemisphere, a tailored IV drip offers a quick way to boost cell turnover and cure deficiencies. GetADrip provides at-home or office infusions of various nutrients like iron, hair health, energy, and anti-ageing. Boosters like Glutathione and CoQ10 offer near-instant skin brightening and smoothing effects, while vitamin B12 provides extra energy. NAD+ is a new hi-tech supplementation innovation that is essential for energy metabolism, DNA repair, and immune cell function. NADclinic's IV infusions can combat fatigue, jet lag, and slow the effects of ageing. However, it's an intense experience that can cause nausea or have no side effects at all. Practitioners adjust the delivery accordingly, and it can take between one and three hours. For a quicker option, check out 180 Health Club for a vitamin D deficiency test or their 30-minute super cocktail infusions.

Taking care of your health during the winter with these IV drip options ensures you stay energized and healthy throughout the season.

Switch-up Your Skincare Routine

To keep the skin happy during winter, focus on hydration. The contrast between the cold outdoors and central heating can be drying, so rich creams and oils are essential. Rhode's new Barrier Restore Cream with shea butter, peptides, squalane, and niacinamide has a delicious texture without causing breakouts. U Beauty's Super Intensive Facial Oil, applied as the last layer morning or night, is a great quencher for a glowing complexion.

Proper skincare is crucial in maintaining a healthy skin barrier and achieving a radiant look during the winter.

Step up the Supplements

Look for liposomal vitamins for better absorption. Nutri Burst's Vitamin D3 + K2 gummies help counteract seasonal affective disorder. Zooki's Glutathione capsules provide the antioxidant hero at home, and magnesium sachets supercharge the body's recovery process during sleep. Vida Glow's new Sleep supplement ensures eight hours of deep restorative sleep without drowsiness. Collagen supplements like Vida Glow's Pro Collagen+ have shown visible results in just two weeks.

Supplements play a vital role in supporting overall health and well-being during the winter season.

Face Jewels

For instant party sparkle, Violette FR's self-stick Eye Bijoux are a delight. These small jewels add a touch of glamour to any look and are perfect for the festive season.

Adding a little sparkle to your face can enhance your confidence and make you stand out at parties.

Do an Internal Audit

A visit to The Liver Clinic at John Bell & Croyden in Marylebone provides valuable information about your body's central control system. Testing your liver for fat levels and stiffness helps you understand its health. You'll be surprised to learn that processed foods and medications can cause more liver damage than alcohol. Knowing your liver's condition allows you to make small adjustments for better health. A shot of De-liver-ance, a cocktail of antioxidants, can supercharge the liver's detoxing process and reduce hangovers. An at-home hormone check with Hertility assesses multiple hormones and can diagnose hormonal imbalances and potential fertility issues, accompanied by a full doctor-written report and analysis.

Taking care of your internal organs is crucial for overall well-being, and these audits provide valuable insights.
