A Relaxing Beauty Routine Made for You
Sweeter dreams await with Liberty's expert guide to a relaxing beauty ritual
We’ve long been advocates of reclaiming your (hard-earned) downtime. Of embracing the slow down. Of taking stock. Of resting. And a relaxing beauty routine can act as a segue to a more mellow state of being. That’s why we’ve taken the (ahem) liberty of compiling this effective guide to mood-changing beauty products to help unfurl the brow and lower the shoulders.
This spring, we’re taking a step back, and indulging in the rituals and routines that we do every day: making time for moments of tranquillity, stability and relaxation in the day-to-day. Whether you’re looking for skincare heroes that’ll set the tone for a peaceful evening, or are planning on unwinding with a spot of bathscaping: let our edit be your guide, as you sit back and sink into a moment of serenity.
D.S. & Durga Spirit Lamp Candle, £60
The first step on your journey to utter relaxation is to set the scene, something easily achieved with a suitably relaxing scented candle. This one, by Brooklyn based perfume pioneer, D.S. & Durga, is mysterious and romantic, with richly aromatic notes of black tea, coconut milk and ginger. Light yours by the sink, on the side of the tub, by the sofa, or wherever your relaxing routine begins.
