Beauty Notes 2025
The latest innovations to help you look and feel great
Get Glowing
Cleansing is the foundation of any good skincare routine. The Tatcha Indigo Cleansing Balm (£40, spacenk.com) not only melts away impurities and stubborn make-up, but also infuses the skin with antioxidant-rich Japanese lotus extract which shields skin from environmental stressors, while a blend of nutrient-packed superfoods nourish and fortify the skin barrier. Its buttery, soothing texture makes it perfect for a relaxing, end-of-day ritual.
Wedding ready brows
If you are dealing with sparse areas, the Blink Brow Bar 20 Year Anniversary Eyebrow Pencil (£22, bbb-london) has a waxy, smudge-proof formula that fills gaps and blends effortlessly into the eyebrow hairs. We love this bold, limited-edition design by fashion label Ahluwalia.
Want fuller brows? Try the Hairgredients Brow Mask (£15, hairgredients.com), which is formulated with castor oil, almond oil and vitamin E to boost growth. For a total transformation, youíll be in trusted hands with Suman Jalaf (suman.london) and her ëbrow angelsí who are experts at microblading, threading and lamination.
Cover Up
Your wedding day concealer needs to perform many tasks – it should be long-lasting, crease-free and hydrating. Victoria Beckham’s latest collaboration with luxury skincare brand Augustinus Bader is worth a try. Packed into a pen-like applicator, the flattering, medium coverage concealer is filled with Bader’s TFC8 technology, a potent blend of peptides, vitamins and amino acids that targets pigmentation, fine lines and redness. It’s also enriched with moisture-boosting polyglutamic acid and squalene. £64, www.augustinusbader.com
SPA OF THE SEASON
The Langley, Buckinghamshire
If you’re seeking some pre or post-wedding zen, this stunning retreat offers the perfect blend of countryside charm and luxurious relaxation. Set within the vast grounds of Langley Park in Buckinghamshire, it was once the estate of the third Duke of Marlborough. The estate’s 41 elegant rooms are divided between the grand former hunting lodge and the charming Grade II-listed Brew House. Each offers a cosy yet luxurious experience, with nods to the rich history of the property.
You’ll want to spend hours at the huge subterranean spa, which features a 16-metre marble-lined swimming pool, alongside a hammam, vitality pool, a pink Himalayan salt-walled sauna, a rose quartz steam room, a private VIP area and a ladies-only thermal section. For pampering, there are treatments from premium brands like Sisley, Gentlemen’s Tonic and Margaret Dabbs. There’s also a dedicated salon and nail studio.
While you’re there, we recommend exploring the scenic surroundings by bike or simply relaxing by the picturesque outdoor pool overlooking Langley Lake.
