Do you feel like something’s missing in your life? Does thinking about the future open up a gaping black hole of existential dread in your mind that you are powerless to stop? Are you consumed by paranoia that even your pets don’t like you? We can’t help with any of that unfortunately, but what we can do is suggest some grooming products that will make the vagaries of life just that little bit more bearable. Indeed, you may find that the world is a much better place when you sleep on a silk pillowcase and your breath smells like flowers.

Floris London’s violet mouthwash is one of those things you’ll find hard to believe you ever lived without. Indeed, this stuff is a good many levels up from anything you’ll find in your local drugstore – it tastes fantastic, doesn’t burn and, thanks to the concentrated formula (you only need a few drops diluted in water each time), it will last for months. A triumph of a toothcare product in every sense, and highly recommended.

Many may have just about learnt to cleanse and moisturise, but there’s plenty more progress to be made in the self-maintenance stakes. A surefire way to upgrade your grooming routine? Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare’s Spectralite Faceware Pro, which works with pulses of LED light that smooth wrinkles, kill bacteria to clear and prevent mild acne, and keep skin looking super fresh.

Made in Seed to Skin’s hi-tech laboratory in rural Tuscany, these marine algae bath salts are just the ticket if you need to unwind. Packed with magnesium and a host of other minerals, a scattering of this stuff in the bath will detoxify the skin and imparts a godlike scent of sandalwood and neroli. Not quite a spa break to be sure, but the next best thing.

You can upgrade your grooming routine to kingdom come, but nothing will beat the restorative power of a good night’s kip. Slip’s mulberry silk pillowcase is gentle on the hair and skin, meaning no cowlick hair when you wake up, and no creases on your face. Considering we all spend a third of our life in bed (if we’re lucky), this one’s a no-brainer.

After all the time we’ve spent in our homes over the past year and a half, we’ve surely all realised the importance of the little things that make a difference. LOEWE Home Scents’ diffuser is a quickfire way to bring good vibes into the home with an olfactory hit of Spanish ivy. It smells a bit like being on holiday, just in your own living room.
