From personalised vitamins to bespoke skincare treatments, find new ways to improve your health and beauty routine thanks to these companies.

Keep your skin looking fresh and clean with an exfoliating mask

(Dr Sebagh)

Loved by beauty insiders and celebrities such as Elle Macpherson and Anna Friel, Dr Sebagh’s award-winning deep exfoliating mask (£59) is a red-carpet treatment for your skin. Containing a potent blend of lactic acid and azelaic acid, this powerful exfoliant removes impurities and surface dead skin cells that dull the complexion, thereby increasing radiance. Lactic acid has been selected for its powerful exfoliating benefits, removing impurities and waste products from the skin. The antibacterial properties of azelaic acid can stop the development of germs and pigmentation, while peptides from the silicium derivative can help plump up skin. Dr Sebagh also has a deep exfoliating mask for sensitive skin and both masks should be applied once or twice weekly. Save 20 per cent when you shop #boxfree online at drsebagh.com, using the code “DeepEx20”. Offer valid until 13 June 2022.

Whiten your teeth at home with ease

Having launched in Sydney in 1995, White Glo has grown to become one of Australia’s top teeth whitening brands. Its mission is to “use the latest research and technology to enable everyone to enjoy the confidence of a beautiful, white, brighter smile”, with the range originally having been developed for film and TV make-up artists. The white glo accelerator teeth whitening system (£30) is an at-home kit containing whitening gel and an illuminating light mouth guard that, when switched on, activates the gel to aid the removal of stains, yellowing and discolouration. The professional choice whitening toothpaste (£4.20) utilises microparticles, safely and effectively whitening your teeth with each use. The powerful formulation used in conjunction with the special anti-stain toothbrush lightens discolouration and yellowing on tooth enamel.
