THREE OF THE BEST

Yule love the scent

Aromatherapy meets festivity with this gorgeous eco soy wax candle by a Scottish brand. Its essential oil ingredients include those familiar Christmassy notes of clove, cinnamon and orange, but there’s also a big whack of geranium, for an uplifting yet soothing scent that we’ve got utterly hooked on. Christmas Comfort Luxury Aromatherapy Candle, £30, Beatitude, www.beatitudeproducts.com

Don’t go commando

Think of serum as the underwear to your skincare layering routine. Although we should really describe this new potion as lingerie, as it’s rather fancy, with ingredients including gold extract, peptides, ginseng, and calendula. Although they say to expect benefits after four weeks, we found it instantly smoothing and loved the comforting sweet citrus scent. Ageless Genius Firming & Wrinkle Smoothing Serum, £48, bareminerals, www. bareminerals.co.uk

All present and correct

With every purchase from their new Modern Botanicals gift range, Green People will donate a portion of the proceeds to conservation charity Plantlife. We love the embossed packaging of this collection, especially on this men’s gift set, which contains a fresh and invigoratingly scented duo.
