After all, the statistics show, as the Global Wellness Institute reported a 12.8 per cent growth of the wellness industry from 2015 to 2017. For most of us, first-hand experience tells us that self-care has never been more prioritised: more of our peers are going for regular fitness/workout classes, going on wellness retreats, spending on spa treatments and even exploring alternative healing methods like crystal healing etc.

So as more women (and men) are moving beyond merely wanting to look good but also feed good, beauty products also have had to take on an additional role. Instead of choosing products that are efficacious and easy to use like we used to, we are now more demanding than ever as we expect to derive more than skin health from these topical products. And beauty companies have responded, by providing their customers with products that are specially scented to have an effect on their emotional health. Here, the products to get your hands on to pamper yourself from inside-out:

Formulated to nourish dry and uncomfortable skin, this uses a blend of rosehip seed oil and vitamin E to accelerate cellular regeneration.
