1. Sonrisa Red Ginseng Powder Face Wash
For a gentle cleansing step ahead of festive skincare routines, the Sonrisa Red Ginseng Powder Face Wash is created for skin that feels tight, dry or reactive after cleansing. Its water-activated powder format allows controlled, gentle cleansing, transforming into a soft, lightweight foam that cleanses without leaving the skin feeling stripped. Formulated with 10% Red Ginseng Powder and Papain, it helps remove impurities and dead skin without physical abrasion while supporting skin comfort and balance.
2. Old School Rituals Mango & Lemon Sugar Brightening Face Elixir
For those looking to bring a natural-looking radiance to their skin ahead of the festive season, the Old School Rituals Mango & Lemon Sugar Brightening Face Elixir is a lightweight facial elixir designed to nourish, hydrate and brighten the skin. Formulated with nature-inspired ingredients, it helps enhance the skin’s natural luminosity while leaving it looking fresh and healthy, making it a thoughtful addition to a pre-festive skincare ritual.
3. Root Labs Barrier-Building Face Moisturiser With 3% Ceramide Beads
For skin needing comfortable hydration as festive skincare routines get underway, the Root Labs Barrier-Building Face Moisturiser With 3% Ceramide Beads combines a high 3% ceramide complex concentration with Niacinamide to deeply hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier. The lightweight, ultra-fast-absorbing formula locks in moisture without heaviness, while Centella and Allantoin help soothe redness. Non-greasy and non-comedogenic, it delivers comfortable hydration from AM to PM.
4. Two Fish Shield Fish
As festive plans bring more time outdoors, Two Fish Shield Fish offers daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 PA++++ protection against UVA and UVB damage. Lightweight and fast-absorbing, the formula is designed without a heavy, white-cast finish and layers seamlessly under makeup or over serum. Enriched with Vitamin E, rosemary extract and beta-carotene, it provides antioxidant protection alongside UV defence and can be used on the face, neck, arms and legs.
5. ORANGEWOOD Infudra Mask D'Affluence
For a professional-inspired hair cleansing ritual, ORANGEWOOD Infudra D’Affluence Shampoo is recommended for normal and treated hair. Enriched with Aloe Barbadensis Extract and Dead Sea Minerals, its lightweight formula provides gentle cleansing while supporting a soothing, smooth and refreshed hair-and-scalp experience. Designed as the first step in a professional hair-care routine, it also helps prepare the hair for subsequent conditioning, treatment and hair spa steps.
6. ESLA Italy Multi Action Spray Fluid
For hair needing extra care before the festive styling begins, ESLA Italy Multi Action Spray Fluid is a multi-purpose leave-in spray designed for medium and thick hair. Enriched with Brown Seaweed and Pea Extract, it counteracts frizz through an emollient action while nourishing the hair and providing shine. It can be applied to lengths and ends before blow-drying and used as a final touch after styling for particularly frizzy or dry hair.
