Your Stress-Less Wellness Toolkit


best wellness products best wellness products

It started slowly: A green juice here, a bit of microbiome chat there, maybe the odd pilates class if you were really ahead of the curve. And then — BOOM.

Five years on and suddenly there was a supplement, ingestible or tonic you could take for every ailment, and every part of your body.

Wellness has arrived, and we could all see the benefits of both prevention and taking care of everything below, and behind the face.

But there’s also another wellness revolution taking place that has slipped out of the bedroom and into stores and conversations: sexual wellness.

Where once chat about vibrators was reserved for the sealed sections of Cosmo, now we’re liberated to talk about self-love without the unnecessary and antiquated shame.

It is, after all, an essential part of wellness; orgasms release both oxytocin and dopamine — two feel-good endorphins that you might have seen be referred to as “happy hormones” — that give you a natural high.

They can also help you feel calmer, sleep better and relieve stress, which sounds like a very good deal.

Here’s our round up of the six best wellness products from top to O (sorry, had to).


The Beauty Chef Glow Limited Edition.

What: The Beauty Chef Glow 250g Limited Edition

Carla Oates, the founder of The Beauty Chef, was a pioneer in the industry — she basically invented the ingestible category with this very product.

A beauty editor (and personal) fave, it really does exactly what it says: gives good glow and the limited edition means you get the supersize!

But, it’s not a superficial one, it’s that kind of radiant “exuding health” glow, and that’s thanks to its incredible bio-fermented formula (with 18 Certified Organic wholefoods) that look after the gut, which of course helps to look after the skin.


Vida Glow Collagen Liquid Advance.

What: Vida Glow Collagen Liquid Advance

I could write a mini series about my love for Vida Glow collagen (I wrote about how it’s one of my all-time faves here).

It is elite, and I have the absurd nail and hair growth to prove it.

But, while I love the powder, I often forget to take it twice a day (the recommended amount), which is where Liquid Advance steps in.

With double the dose of the clinically-proven Natural Marine Collagen and a super-charged antioxidant complex of Vitamins B and C, the once-daily supplement tastes like a syrupy berry cordial which I’m not sad about.

Also, incredibly convenient, the satchels came with me on a recent OS trip, and they do not hog suitcase space which is very pleasing.

The only downside: you do have to book that BIAB appointment sooner (and a haircut while you’re at it) because ain’t nothing gonna stop that growth once you start.


WelleCo The Calm Elixir 60 Capsules.

What: WelleCo The Calm Elixir 60 Capsules

Designed to help balance your mood and support a healthy stress response, this supplement is full of nervous-system-supporting botanicals.

The roll call includes the wellness darling, Ashwagandha which is an adaptogen known for its ability to enhance the body’s resilience to stress; Bioavailable magnesium which you may know can help with muscle function, emotional balance and concentration; plus lemon balm (assists sleep), passionflower (calming) and vitamin B6 which aids in a healthy nervous and immune system.


LBDO Essensual Vibe - Lilac.

Subtle, and — dare we say— chic, this Australian designed external vibrator is made from 100% medical grade silicone and is also waterproof (so you can use in the shower or bath).

It’s also ergonomic, and has six speeds so you can tailor your experience to your personal pleasure preferences.


Salt By Hendrix Rose Hydration Bath Milk.

There is verifiably nothing greater than a long soak in the tub — I don’t make the rules. But there is a way to make it even better/ more beneficial (hint: it’s in the caption).

Designed to be ultra nourishing and hydrating for the skin, it’s full of plant oils for their nourishing and antioxidant qualities, marshmallow root extract for it’s soothing powers, humectants to draw in — and hold onto — water and Beta-Glucan to moisturise.

If you have reptile skin after a soak in this, you’re doing it wrong.


Habitual Beauty Advanced Skin + Gut Health Collagen Elixir - Amazonian Acai + Blueberry.

What:

Habitual Beauty Advanced Skin + Gut Health Collagen Elixir - Amazonian Acai + Blueberry 954g

Combining both collagen and vitamins in one antioxidant-packed supplement, this is your all-rounder ingestible for overall health.

There’s bioavailable collagen peptides for hair/skin/nails, pre,post and probiotics, plus a digestive enzyme blend for gut health, hyaluronic acid, bamboo silica + CoQ10 for the skin, plus so many more vitamins, minerals, omegas and amino acids to help you feel, well, well.

If you’re into a one-stop solution, hello, hi!


Final Thoughts...

And of course we know you know this, but supplementation is just that — in addition to doing all the good stuff for your health.

So don’t forget to eat well (lots of veg, especially the green leafy kind), get off the devices an hour before bed so you can actually sleep well, get your regular exercise (no, walking to the vending machine doesn’t count) and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

Love, your beauty mum.
