A Beauty Guru Shares Her Bedside Table Beauty Staples
Black Moss Candle, £59 | The Perfumer’s Story
“I absolutely love the scent of this candle. Blending black moss with soft, smoky oud, it’s relaxing and thought provoking. Azzi Glasser, the brand’s founder, is a good friend of mine; she created the Agent Provocateur fragrance and has continued to make exceptional scents ever since.”
Deep Relax Sleep Mist, £27.20 | Aromatherapy Associates
“The scent of Deep Relax reminds me of my business partner – I think of it as her scent really, but I do find it’s the best pillow mist to help you properly unwind. I’ve travelled all over the world with this. It helps me relax because it feels soothing and familiar.”
Sleep Easy Nasya Oil, £38 | Subtle Energies
“This oil is perfect for when you’re under a lot of stress and need something extra to help you drift off and stay asleep. The Irani family, who develop these exceptional Ayurvedic products, have an excellent understanding of aromatherapy – they’re at the top of their game in the spa space.”
Baume De Rose Lip Balm, £42 | By Terry
“A worthy icon, this is the moisturising lip balm I apply both before bed and when I wake up in the morning. Loved by Princess Diana, it just adds a touch of luxury when you need it most and I like the subtlety of the rose scent.”
Eye Masks, £60.06 | Jillian Dempsey
“I’ve known make-up artist Jill Dempsey since the 1980s, and she never does things by halves. She is a perfectionist so, when she created her own under-eye mask, she used her insider knowledge to shape the design. These fit around the eye area perfectly, don’t slip off, and leave you feeling fresh and hydrated.”
Clear Skin Revive LED Mask, £187.50 (was £250) | Lustre
“I was gifted this recently, and I’d say as long as you keep it clean, you can actually share it. My daughter and I both use it because it’s fitted with blue and red light, and our skin has different individual needs. It’s been such a welcome addition to my night-time routine.”
Skin Food Light, £6.71 (was £8.95) | Weleda
“I love the original Skin Food, but I’ve been using the lighter version at night on my heels, ankles, elbows and other areas of my body prone to dryness. It’s a last-minute thing I apply before I go to sleep, but it really helps when the heating comes on. I tend to get very dry skin and need regular light-but-effective moisture.”
