THE SHOPOUR FAVOURITE WELLNESS PICKS
expert favourites
Once a month, we share what’s actually passed the test.
The Well-Loved List is a curated collection of products and practices we trust, use and recommend, because they work in real life, and they work well.
BEAUTY
the best of the best in the clean beauty world, all carefully formulated without ingredients shown or suspected to harm your health.-

CurrentBody
CurrentBody's newest mask is also its most customisable. Series 3 has 750 LEDs and six wavelengths. Red, near-infrared and deep near-infrared support collagen and repair, while blue, green and yellow target blemishes, redness and uneven tone. In the app you choose which light goes where, the way a facialist would map your face.
-

mauli rituals
Brahmi, bhringraj and amla meet rosemary, castor and argan oil in a rollerball made for brows. Massage it in with your fingertips in small circles to bring circulation to the follicles and a moment of stillness to the end of the day. It smells of sandalwood, jasmine and cedarwood, too.
-

GF Fabulosity
Hair breakage is often mechanical before it's anything else. Soft nylon bristles of varying lengths flex around knots rather than tearing through them, on wet or dry hair. This is the type of brush that we tried once and will never look back.
-

ultraviolette
Finally, an SPF with coverage that doesn't block our pores. Unblock Screen was made for oily, acne-prone and reactive skin. It pairs zinc oxide with a soft-matte tint that blurs and evens skin without congestion or a white cast. It's daily protection that works as a light base, so there's one less layer on the skin.
Inner & outer well
what’s great in wellness, including supplement stacks, beautifully designed workout equipment, technology and everything inbetween.-

Sucseed
Four superblends (Gut Health, Energy, Focus and Immunity) made from whole seeds and botanical herbs, cold-milled so the fibre, plant protein and healthy fats are easier to absorb. A spoonful over porridge, yoghurt or soup brings you closer to 30 plants a week. Designed and loved by a practitioner.
-

Artah
As temperatures drop and the heating goes on, skin loses water faster and its barrier has to work harder. Skin Clinic supports it from the inside with hyaluronic acid for hydration, collagen cofactors, amino acids like glycine and proline, and the antioxidants astaxanthin and lycopene. This really is internal skincare.
-

Agent Nateur
Six forms of magnesium in one sachet, each chosen for where it tends to act. They include L-threonate (Magtein), studied for its ability to reach the brain, and bisglycinate and taurate for the nervous system. It's a liquid that tastes, improbably, of key lime pie. Take it before bed as a cue that the day is done and a go-to to throw in your bag when away from home.
-

Inora
Our cellular support through the busiest months, socially and professionally. A sensibly dosed liquid that pairs nicotinamide riboside, a precursor your cells use to make NAD+, with lion's mane, vitamin C, olive leaf and sea buckthorn. All of which are central to cellular energy and repair.
Home & lifestyle
a curation of approved, timeless ITEMS for you, your home and wardrobe.-

Lumie
November gives our circadian rhythm very little light to work with. Dash is a compact lamp that delivers 10,000 lux, close to the brightness of a clear morning outdoors. Thirty minutes at arm's length early in the day helps anchor the body clock, for better energy now and better sleep later. It's pretty enough to leave out too so we have it as a staple on our desk during the work day.
-

Riverford
Riverford's 40th-anniversary cookbook answers the 6pm question: what's for dinner? It has over 100 veg-led, whole-food recipes, all on the table in 40 minutes or less, with substitution ideas so you can cook from what's already in the fridge. This is El's cookbook on rotation right now.
-

Oliver Bonas
Decorating well is as much about how a room makes you feel at 6pm on a dark Tuesday as how it looks. Bright overhead lighting after dark tells the brain it's still daytime, while low, warm lamps signal that it's time to wind down. This bottle-green recycled glass lamp does both jobs: soft, ambient light from 4pm, and a beautiful object when it's off.
-

Solis
Red light for more than just your face. The STUDIO is Solis's full-body panel, with 960 LEDs delivering red and near-infrared light from head to toe in one session. It takes ten minutes, with skin exposed and eyes protected. Think of it as the red light room from your favourite wellness studio, brought home, tried and tested.
