Editor's picks 2024

Scalp care is the bedrock to every healthy hair journey, and as someone blighted by cradle cap (yes, in my big age), I’m always on a mission for the next topical treatment.

Shortlisted so far is 1. Camille Rose Strengthening Hair & Scalp Drops, £12.99. Scatter a few drops around the scalp or on troubled areas – mine is the hairline – and rub in using the balls of your fingertips for maximum absorption. It makes a trusty addition to washdays or prepping the hair for a long stretch of braids.

Shopping vegan make-up is becoming easier by the day. 2. By Terry Ligne Blackstar, £29 liquid pen eyeliner is enriched with high-purity carbon black pigments making a single stroke visible and dramatic. Other premium options to add to your cart include 3. Haus Labs Bio-Radiant Gel Powder Highlighter, £41 and 4. Pixi +Hydra LipTreats, £8 (available February).

And with snug season upon on us – translation for “It’s freezing out here!”, that calls for some essential cosy items. I love the monochromatic pieces by menswear label 5. Brvn by Bravian, prices start from £151. For warm nights in, I recommend 6. The Feme Collection Satin Sleeping Mask & Pillowcase, £13; 7. Vyrao Verdent Incense, £35 and 8. JK Cartoon Socks £10.
