Let’s face it: ‘self-care’ has become synonymous with spa treatments. And sometimes that isn't the answer, but late-night social media scrolls might convince us otherwise.
Still, it’s important to treat ourselves. A pamper night won’t cure burnout, but the right picks can soothe our senses, play into our love languages and help us unwind. And a calmer you probably makes better decisions – like cooking that nutritious dinner or going for an early night.
So, if you’re after a relaxing purchase you can rely on time and time again to feel a bit more you, look no further than our top self-care picks...
Time for TLC: our favourite relaxation products
Miaroma
€13.00
€13.00/100 ml
You might know Miaroma for their delightful aromatherapy and home scents range. Exciting news: they do bath products, too.
Swirl a few drops into the water and enjoy scents of vibrant tangerine, soothing lavender and warming patchouli. Then... switch the world off for half an hour.
We hate to say it, but a true self-care bath likely means putting your phone out of reach. Scrolling until the water’s lukewarm and the bubbles have shrunk: we’ve all been there, and it doesn’t scream ‘wellbeing’.
Or if physical touch is your love language, it doubles as a body oil to receive (or give) a dreamy massage.
Tisserand
€17.50
€17.50/100 ml
Self-care doesn’t just have to be at home. In fact, you probably need it most of all when you’re out and about.
Enter this lavender massage and body oil from Tisserand. With its convenient spray nozzle, it’s a gem to keep in your bag and spritz onto your pulse points when things get a little overwhelming. Crowded train? Sweaty coworker? Take a deep breath – you’ve got this.
It also has notes of zesty bergamot and spicy patchouli, meaning it’s got more to offer than your standard lavender oil.
H&B Expert
€28.99
€0.97/1 Capsules
Let’s get practical for a moment. We can soothe our senses with scented baths, but sometimes mood support means looking after our brain health.
Our Calm capsules use a unique formula to help you get ahead of a busy brain or a demanding day. Star ingredient Safr’Inside™, a clinically studied saffron extract, helps maintain emotional balance and supports a positive state of mind along with a vitamin B complex for reducing tiredness and fatigue.
Just take one capsule with breakfast – on that note, a morning meal is self-care too.
Antipodes
€49.40
€37.05
€12.35/10 ml
For some, skincare routines are a necessary chore. But if you’re the type that enjoys the pamper time, this hydrating serum from Antipodes is one to splash out on.
Made in New Zealand with plant hyaluronic acid, algae extracts and kangaroo paw seed, it’s designed to quench thirsty skin and leave you looking effortlessly dewy.
Consider it your skin’s saviour after travelling, a late night out or a tight work deadline. Just apply a few drops to a freshly cleansed face and follow with moisturiser to lock in all the glow.
Novomins
€22.99
€0.38/1 Chewable
Sometimes, self-care is downright boring – but involves something that future you will thank you for.
So, support your rest and bedtime routines with a supplement like Novomins’ gummies, filled with botanicals lemon balm, acerola cherry and chamomile extracts. Five vitamins and minerals, including both vitamin B6 and B12, contribute to normal psychological function and zinc contributes to normal cognitive function.
All in all, they’re made to help you wind down ahead of bedtime. Just chew two gummies per day.
Miaroma
€8.50
€8.50/10 ml
Move over scented candles and air fresheners: diffusers are the on-trend way to make your home smell delightful.
If you can feel yourself getting worked up, pop a few drops of this Miaroma essential oil into a diffuser and let it fill the room with earthy cedarwood. Close your eyes and you’re in an enchanted forest... almost.
Westlab
€7.50
€6.00
€0.60/100 g
It’s a vicious cycle – tension means tight muscles, which makes you even more uncomfortable.
Westlab’s mineral salts contain magnesium, meaning they’re designed to soothe aching muscles and help you wind down.
They’re also infused with chamomile (the one you find in relaxing tea) and bergamot to bring a little extra tranquillity to your soak.
Just add one to two cups of salt to a running bath. Unclench your jaw, drop your shoulders and let your troubles float away for at least 20 minutes. Awkward spa music optional.
The final say
Added to basket? While you wait for your goodies to arrive, see how else you can practice your self-care techniques.
Everyone’s different – for some it’s a moment of reflection, for others it’s an invigorating run or a chat with an old pal. Why not fill a ‘dopamine menu’ with feel-good activities and get the happy hormones flowing?
