What’s new in the wellness world in November

We bring you the latest in wellness – from multi-day retreats for walking meditation practice to personal colour analysis to flatter your skin, hair and eyes.

SkinCeuticals Glamorous Antioxidant Afternoon Tea

Torn between treating yourself to a refined meal and a refreshing skin treatment? Sheraton Hong Kong ’s new high tea set, launched in collaboration with SkinCeuticals, gets you both. Available until the end of November 2023, the Glamorous Antioxidant Afternoon Tea features sweet and savoury treats like apple feta sandwiches and Parma ham and fig crostini, all made using antioxidant-rich ingredients. Diners also receive a complimentary skincare gift set and an invitation to a free skin consultation. 

Expert colour analysis

Are you a spring, summer, autumn or winter? Seasonal colour analysis was all the rage in the '80s and is back in fashion thanks to TikTok. Expert colour analysts in Seoul, Singapore and Tokyo are using colour theory to help clients discover which clothing, make-up and jewellery colour palettes best flatter their eye colour, and hair colour and skin tone. For tips on how to look your best and feel confident, book an appointment with a pro at Meime Studio in Seoul or Find Your Colour in Hong Kong. 

A mindfulness retreat

Find some inner zen at the immersive Journey to Peace retreat, from 2-5 December at Amanoi in Vietnam. Buddhist monk and mindfulness coach Geshe YongDong will guide guests through daily meditation practice, chanting and group workshops to help ground them in the present. The programme also includes a 90-minute massage and access to the resort’s hydrotherapy facilities, giving your wellbeing an added boost. 

The Ordinary’s new Soothing and Barrier Support Serum

Looking for a skincare product that can soothe and heal the skin? The Ordinary ’s new Soothing and Barrier Support Serum fits the bill. The serum repairs, reinforces and protects your skin while hydrating, soothing and reducing redness caused by irritation. Routine use over time is claimed to bring you a brighter complexion and improved skin condition.
