natural wonders

A long, relaxing soak is the perfect antidote to pre-wedding stress – and the luxurious, all-natural products from The Cove Bathing Co will make it positively blissful. Handcrafted in small batches in Cornwall, the collection of face masks, foot soaks, bath milks and moisturising bars are designed to infuse the bathing experience with the serenity of the sea. Inspired by Cornish beaches, we love the Bath Salt collections: blends of Himalayan and Epsom Salts infused with essential oils and finished with everything from rose petals to orange slices. Full of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc, they’ll leave your skin soft and hydrated, and your mood zen-like. thecovebathing.co.uk

Lack of sleep and stress are known to trigger harmful free radicals, which oxidise the skin cells and create a dull complexion – and if there’s one thing that can cause a lack of sleep and stress, it’s the runup to a wedding! Enter the super serums from cult French skincare brand Typology. Suitable for all skin types, the Radiance Serum has a high concentration of vitamin C to help revive the complexion, reduce pigmentation and reinforce elasticity, while the Unifying Serum is a hero product for brides who suffer from blemish-prone skin. Packed with niacinamide, it is designed to reduce the redness caused by imperfections to promote a more even complexion and refine the skin texture. Containing only vital ingredients and packed in minimalist and eco-friendly style, this stripped-back skincare brand is a must for your pre-wedding skincare routine. uk.typology.com

win a revitalising facial!

A deeply relaxing and nourishing facial is the perfect pampering for a brideto-be. We’ve teamed up with Cornish therapist Rachel Lorente of Women’s Balance to offer one lucky nearly-wed an Inlight Organic Affinity Facial. Worth £70, the cleansing and revitalising facial encourages harmony by introducing advanced facial massage techniques. Masks of Inlight’s nourishing balm are incorporated to intensively repair and hydrate skin, while an uplifting, intuitive facial massage and the use of rose quartz and jade wands will further stimulate lymphatic drainage and increase blood flow to the skin. The treatment is completed with a Thai-inspired foot ritual to leave you grounded, awakened and centred, with younger-looking, firmer skin. Your 75-minute treatment will take place in Penzance’s iconic Chapel House – the perfect space to rest, relax and rejuvenate – ready to emerge a glowing bride-to-be. womensbalance.co.uk inlightbeauty.co.uk
