Featuring Emma O’Neill, founder of Scotland-based CBD spa brand, La Rue Verte

GET THAT GLOW New to Harvey Nichols Edinburgh, Dr Barbara Sturm’s unique, sciencebased products have achieved cult status with skincare devotees worldwide, none more so than her Glow Drops – an illuminating serum which evens out skin tone, refines pores and restores radiance in just a few drops. From £40 for 10ml. I launched the UK’s first spa CBD brand… in February last year after noticing that while CBD was an established market with big hoteliers and luxury spas in the US, there was nothing like it here. CBD is perfect for spas because… it is the epitome of a holistic product. It offers antiinflammatory, anti-ageing and anti-oxidising effects on the skin, and using it in a spa setting means we are able to tailor treatments to the individual’s needs whether they want to feel uplifted and revitalised or completely relaxed. Our best-selling product… is the Soothing Body Balm, which we use in all of our spa treatments. It has synergistic properties as we have formulated it with Menthol, Camphor and Geranium along with a potent 1000mg CBD.

La Rue Verte is available at the spa at Kimpton Charlotte Square. View the full treatment menu at kimptoncharlottesquare.com
