Indulgence meets innovation

In a world that rarely pauses, carving out space for yourself has become more than a passing luxury, it is a form of restoration.

The rituals we choose, whether rooted in skincare, fragrance, or the quiet act of cleansing, remind us that indulgence is not about excess but about presence. Three new launches invite us to lean into that sense of pause, transforming the everyday into something quietly extraordinary.

Sculpting with science and touch

Dermalogica steps into uncharted territory with NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum (€149), a facial sculpting oil that unites the language of neuroscience with the intimacy of human touch. More than a formula, it is a ritual in itself - one that restores visible symmetry and leaves contours lifted and refined. The technique developed by Dermalogica’s therapists draws on decades of expertise, designed to trigger skin’s sensory receptors and, in turn, release dopamine, endorphins, and oxytocin. Used alone, the serum becomes a daily anchor, grounding the mind while perfecting the complexion.

A scented ritual of indulgence

Perfume house Kilian Paris now extends its opulent world of fragrance into the realm of body care with La Maison Kilian: Bath & Body Collection. The collection is conceived as an everyday ritual of hedonism, turning even the simplest gestures into moments of indulgence. Two scents define the line: Angels’ Share, a rich elixir of cognac, oakwood and cinnamon and Good Girl Gone Bad, where orange blossom, osmanthus and tuberose unfurl in a heady floral embrace. There is a Hand & Body Wash and Lotion which are both refillable.

Cleansing as care

And when the day has drawn its curtain, the simple act of cleansing becomes the ultimate gesture of me time. The Ayu Cleansing Balm (€48) is a vegan, skin-nourishing balm infused with shea butter, coconut oil and Moroccan argan oil. It melts away the debris of the day while leaving skin cocooned in softness, transforming the evening routine into a moment of quiet care.
