November: Little Black Book Of Health, Beauty And Wellness Practitioners

We all know that person who owns more activewear than they do civilian clothes. And increasingly, that’s most of us, as fitness becomes such a crucial part of our day-to-day and athleisure wear becomes increasingly socially acceptable outside of the gym. As the temperatures decrease and it seems to be permanently dark outside, it’s easy to forego that fitness regime you’ve been cultivating and choose the sofa instead. Add to that a new survey from beauty brand Foreo, which found that 61 per cent of women admit to regularly comparing their appearance to others on social media, with an astonishing 96 percent using filters to improve the appearance of their skin. If ever there was a time we needed to pause and take stock of what matters and makes us feel good, it might just be now.

Tandem Skincare

A line of simple skincare with fewer products that work harder – who can’t get behind that? Tandem is a young, British, modestly priced brand that has created a line of products using the best science-backed natural ingredients and actives, designed to streamline your skincare routine while giving your skin everything it needs.

We Are Paradoxx

Yolanda Cooper founded We Are Paradoxx after looking at her own bathroom shelf and finding a huge disconnect between the products she was using and what she wanted. That was the moment her haircare brand was born, focusing on natural, organic ingredients boasting the highest quality and the best performance. Based in Ireland but globally minded, expect intense conditioning and tons of shine.

P.Volve

The innovative team at P.volve has created a new piece of at-home equipment to sculpt the entire body. The P.3 trainer consists of a resistance band, a 1.5 lb ball, a handle (interchangeable with the weighted ball), and two ankle straps. Ideal both for standing exercises and mat work, expect long, lean muscles, without the bulk.

Core Collective

“We want to take the DNA that’s worked so successfully in the first site and create something unique to the area of St John’s Wood, whilst being instantly recognisable as Core Collective,” explained founder Jason de Savary. The new Core Collective on St John’s Wood High Street offers all the style and service clients have come to expect of the high-end fitness group in spectacular new surrounds. The classes make you sweat and feel empowered, and the gargantuan changing rooms have to be amongst the largest in London. There’s also a smoothie bar upstairs and a fantastic selection of boutique athletic brands to purchase, including Alo Yoga, Varley, LNDR, P.E Nation, APL, Koral and many more.

Duck And Dry Nail Bar

What started as a chain of quick and quality blow dry bars is quickly becoming an all-around go-to for beauty. Duck and Dry has just launched its own brow and waxing services, alongside a series of top-tier nail stations. As for hair, they also offer full-on up-dos, braiding, and a menu of masks and glosses if your locks need a little extra attention.

Face Paint Peel By Dr Jack

Using his vast expertise as a Harley Street aesthetic doctor, Dr David Jack has formulated three new fun-to-use peels from clinically proven ingredients. The Dr David Jack Blue Face Paint both exfoliates and hydrates, resulting in a brighter, smoother complexion. There is also a Red version, which reduces oiliness, controls breakouts, exfoliates and increases cellular turnover and a Yellow mask, which breaks down dark spots, evens skin tone and delivers high-grade antioxidants.
