Best for: boosting hair health and preventing thinning hair

An appointment with a trichologist may not be high on your to-do list, but the team at Philip Kingsley believes it should be, especially during times of stress and anxiety. If you’re experiencing hair issues and scalp concerns, a remote consultation with the PK team is an excellent starting point. Ahead of each 40-minute consultation, you’re asked to complete an extensive form, which tells the team about your hair and scalp concerns; photos are also required 48 hours before your call. Then, during your digital consultation, an expert trichologist will assess the condition of your hair and scalp, go through your family medical history and discuss your diet and lifestyle. You’ll receive an at-home care plan – including products, which will be shipped to you. Philipkingsley.co.uk

Now is your chance to see one of the best facialists in the world without even leaving your bathroom.

During your 30-minute FaceTime appointment with Czech or one of her estheticians, your skin goals are discussed, and the condition of your skin is analyzed on camera. After the appointment, you are given a customized at-home skincare routine and can redeem half the consultation fee as credit to shop for products on Czech’s website. JoannaCzech.com
