U Beauty The Mantle Skin Conditioning Wash

Why is it wish-list-worthy? This excellent balmy cleanser from U Beauty is not your average face wash; more like a skin conditioner and cleanser in one, it doesn’t strip skin in the slightest. Formulated to double cleanse and remove makeup in one step (use the muslin cloth for added exfoliating benefits), it restores the complexion’s acid mantle (essential for a healthy skin barrier) and pH level at the same time. There’s also a blend of antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and probiotics that are left to nourish and hydrate, making this product particularly great for keeping sensitive, dry and dehydrated complexions in check.

Dr. Barbara Sturm Winter Kit

Why is it wish-list-worthy? Packed in a chic, white puffer bag, these six bestsellers from Dr. Barbara Sturm are all you need if you’re heading to the slopes over the holidays or jetting off on a wintry weekend away. Comprising the Cleanser, Face Mask (a favorite of Sturm’s), Calming Serum, Night Serum, Super Anti-Aging Face Cream and Lip Balm, this kit works to diminish the drying effects of extreme temperatures and indoor heating on your skin. Genius.

Noble Panacea The Brilliant Vibrant Eye Infusion

Why is it wish-list-worthy? Exclusive to NET-A-PORTER, this silky eye cream from Noble Panacea is a true all-rounder that works to smooth crow’s-feet and fine lines while simultaneously protecting the delicate under-eye skin and illuminating dark circles. The high-tech formula is also padded by natural ingredients including caffeine, ginkgo biloba and red seaweed, which are responsible for its tightening and brightening action. It’s laced with the brand’s signature timed-release technology, too, so you’ll see illuminating results all day, making this eye cream a truly worthwhile investment.

Costa Brazil Body Scrub

Why is it wish-list-worthy? Designed with a conscious ethos (hello, responsibly sourced ingredients from the Amazon rainforest), this luxurious Costa Brazil body scrub doesn’t fall short on results, either. Made with moisturizing ingredients including murumuru, sweet almond oil, hemi-squalane and green coffee to achieve a silky-soft, plumping effect, it’s a great one to keep by the bath tub in winter to give skin a hydrating, brightening boost.

Summer Fridays The Vault Set

Why is it wish-list-worthy? If you’re already devoted to Summer Fridays’ glow-giving Jet Lag Mask and CC Me Serum, this is a brilliant way to discover more of the brand’s coveted skin heroes. Expect 10 full-sized products, including the skin-quenching Dream Oasis Deep Hydration Serum, gentle-but-effective Soft Reset AHA Exfoliating Solution, and instant-melt Lip Butter Balm Vanilla – one of the best balms we’ve tried. Plus, it all comes packed in a limited-edition tote bag.

Silke London Silk Heatless Curler

Why is it wish-list-worthy? You’ll get body, bounce and bend without the heat damage that comes with a traditional curling iron with this genius no-heat foam curler. Made from pure silk to help prevent frizz, this clever tool from Silke London won’t dry out your hair (as is often the case with synthetic materials) and it’s simple to use, too: just wrap your hair around the roller and hold the ends in place with the ties and clip that come in the set. It’s so comfortable that you can sleep in it overnight, or buy it for a beauty lover on your gift list.

Sisley Stylo Correct Concealer

Why is it wish-list-worthy? While relatively new, many makeup artists already swear by this Sisley concealer for its creamy, buttery texture and because it blends easily, lasts well, and doesn’t settle into fine lines or creases. It’s not one to use under the eyes, as it has a semi-matte finish, but it’s ideal for covering dark spots, red patches and blemishes while still brightening troubled areas. What’s more, it contains benzoic acid and alpha-bisabolol – ingredients that reduce the inflammation caused by blemishes. Simply apply the concealer straight from the stick, then use the opposite foam-tipped end of the corrector to buff it in for a seamless finish.
