There’s no shortage of ways to stay committed to your health as the mercury drops, from reimagining your skincare regime (especially when harsh winds and indoor heating dry out skin) to investing in some new activewear to keep you motivated to jump out of bed on cold, dark mornings. To inspire you to stay well, we’ve curated an edit of the products and pieces guaranteed to keep you on track this season. Candles to teas, slippers to serums, justifying a purchase in the name of good health has never been easier. Read on for the ultimate guide to winter wellness.

From the inside out

They say the key to a lengthy healthspan — that is, maintaining good health for as long as possible — is to care for your body from the inside out. While herbal teas, scented candles and beautiful glassware mightn’t be the elixir of life, they’ll soothe the mind and help calm the nervous system.

Skin wins

Skincare and self-care go hand in hand. While the relaxing ritual of applying your nightly skincare is a blissful way to end the day, it’s worth remembering that, as the body’s biggest organ, your skin craves nourishing, nutrient-filled products to function at its best.
