The ultimate pampering treats for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day gives us all a chance to say a big thank you to the most important women in our lives, and after a difficult year for many of us, there’s no better excuse to spoil someone special with the gift of self-care and wellness.

For a bright start to the day

Whether she’s a skincare aficionado or a newbie to the idea of a beauty routine, give her the gift of a glowing complexion with the Wild Science Lab Fruit + Root skincare range. Choose from the Wild Science Lab Power Smoothie Skin Polish (£35.00, 50ml) a twice-weekly exfoliator packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin C that stimulates collagen and brightens skin. Follow with the Wild Science Lab Juice Boost Brightening Serum (£38.00, 50ml), to supercharge mature skin in need of a radiance boost. Gift sets also available: Radiant & Glow Duo – £62 (includes Power Smoothie Skin Polish & Juice Boost Brightening Serum) or the Bright & Protect Trio, £84 (includes Power Smoothie Skin Polish, Juice Boost Brightening Serum and Bright Start SPF 30 UV Shield.  Available from www.wildsciencelab.com.

For a tired face

There’s nothing quite as relaxing as a soak in the bath with a relaxing face mask.  Spoil mum to a skin-glowing treat with the Tired Faace (£22.50, 100ml) mask from cult beauty brand Faace.  Formulated with caffeine and vitamin C to perk up skin and soothe inflammation, this gently exfoliating mask offers a whole lot of hydration.  Available from Liberty London.com, Cult beauty.co.uk and wearefaace.com.

For an at home facial

While you might not be able to treat mum to a day at the spa, there’s no reason why she can’t enjoy all the benefits of a facial from the comfort of her own home. Swiss beauty brand Réduit have developed their Réduit Spa device (£179.00) and Skinpods (from £28.90) to save the day. Marrying innovative technology with a wealth of skincare knowledge, the device and pre-programmed Skinpods use patented technology to deeply cleanse the skin with just the touch of a button. Skinpods are a sustainable alternative to the unnecessary filler ingredients and waste that comes with most skincare products. Instead, each targeted pod contains the most potent ingredients delivered exactly where your skin needs them. From the Clean Vapor Skinpod that rids the skin of residual oil and grime, to the Hydro Boost Skinpod, which delivers a nourishing boost, there’s a pod for every skincare concern.  Using magnetic misting, the Réduit Spa gently amplifies infusion and delivery of actives into the skin while ultrasonic diffusion and sonic pulsations ensure the formula is evenly distributed. Available from Reduit.com and Look Fantastic.

For a little pick me up
This Mother’s Day, whisk her off to exotic climes; metaphorically, of course. Miller Harris’ Tea Tonique (£110, 100ml) is inspired by a trip to a tea plantation; think early morning mist rolling over rows of neatly planted shrubs, bringing with it a sparkling and refreshing zest from the crisp leaves.  This uplifting fragrance captivates the sense, with an infusion of Italian bergamot, floral earl grey, earthy mate and smoky birch.  Completely vegan, free from phthalates, artificial colourants, parabens and formaldehydes, Tea Tonique is the perfect gift for those who suffer from sensitive skin but find joy in the beauty of scent. Available from www.millerharris.com

For a pampered pedi

It might have been a while since your mum’s last salon visit; for a pampering pedicure in the comfort of your own home, Peacci S.K.I.N has come to the rescue with a collection of luxury tools and nail care products that happen to be vegan and cruelty-free. Start with the Peacci Smooth Foot File (£15.00)  to buff away hard skin followed by the Peacci Peach Mani-Pedi Scrub (£9.00, 60g), a hypoallergenic and nourishing blend enriched with Avocado Oil, Peach Kernel Oil and Caster Oil. Once soft and dry, reach for the Peacci Vanilla Mani-Pedi Mask (£15.00, 75ml); the ultimate moisture-rich remedy for dry, chapped skin and leave to work for 15-20 minutes before slathering your feet in Peacci Peach Mani-Pedi Cream (£10.00, 30ml). She’ll be left with a salon-worthy softness that’s truly irresistible. Available from www.peacci.com.

For a polished mani

The glamour of a perfectly polished manicure is enough to make anyone feel confident. Treat her to a luxury manicure with a range of nail polishes from Peacci. 100% vegan and cruelty free, Peacci polishes (£10 each) offer long-lasting results that don’t negatively impact the strength and health of the nail.

For a restful night’s sleep

Is there anything better than a good night of sleep? Why not help her to look forward to bedtime, with a gift from the Tisserand Aromatherapy Sleep Better range. The Sleep Better Discovery Kit (£11.21) contains Sleep Better Massage & Body Oil (£11.30, 110ml) which can be used for a pre-bedtime bath or shower, Sleep Better Pillow Mist (£10.20, 100ml) to spray over a pillow before bedtime and Sleep Better Pulse Point Roller Ball (£6.75, 10ml) to help her relax once in bed.
