The latest innovations to help you look and feel great

STICK TO IT

Milk Makeup has finally landed in the UK. Originating in downtown New York, the make-up line has a huge following across the pond. The vegan range consists of skincare and make-up made in a solid stick form, making them ideal for on-the-go application. Pack the Hydrating Oil (£20.50) in your honeymoon luggage – the moisturising stick can be swiped onto the face or body, while the The Lip + Cheek (£20.50) is perfect for adding a wash of colour.

HEAVENLY HAND

With a velvety texture and intense scent, the Goutal Oriental Hand Balm (£25, harveynichols.com) has a rich formula with added shea butter and camelia oil to keep hands feeling soft and moisturised for that all important wedding ring picture. 

WEDDING SCENT

Perfect for Spring weddings, Jo Maloneís new Wild Flowers & Weeds collection (£49 each) includes five limited edition scents inspired by wildly wonderful plants and flowers. Thereís something for all tastes. Nettle & Wild is filled with white achillea flower, bright bergamot and a soft base of white musk. Willow & Amber contains cashmere wood, smoky vetiver, and sensual amber, while Lupin & Patchouli comes infused with luxurious rose, patchouli and a hint of mandarin.

SOAK AWAY STRESS

Soak away any pre-wedding tension with Neom Organics Multi Mineral Bath Salts (£38, neomorganics.com). Filled with healing pink Himalayan salt, rose quartz, calming essential oils and 84 naturally occurring minerals (such as calcium, magnesium, iron, chloride, potassium and zinc), these beautifully scented salts are ideal for detoxifying, reducing tension, easing muscle aches and balancing hormones.
