Bella Bellissima Perfect Night Candle
...to help you make some \'me\' time
By Emine Ali
You might have been burning the candle at both ends, but these toxin-free, hand-poured, indulgently scented offerings are guaranteed to leave you feeling good. Light up, and let the distinctive aroma fill the room - not only is the scent long-lasting enough to delicately fill your home for days - but you get 60 hours of burn time. More than enough for even the biggest burn-outs.

Elemis Pure Retreat Bath Soak
The cosseting, comforting, calming scent defies even the most resolute worriers - simply pour 3-5 capfuls into a steaming hot bath, slip in, and don\'t be surprised if you start snoozing in a matter of minutes.

The Body Shop Body Sculpting Firming Mask
We love an effective slimming treatment that also comes with a slim price-tag. Rub this satisfyingly thick mud over thighs, bums and tums, let dry, then scrub off for smoother, clearer, firmer skin. It\'s just a shame that it\'s too cold outside to out our bodies - the silky-smooth results are far too good to be hidden under our woolly tights. Sigh.

This Works Deep Calm Shower & Bath Gel
Making the time to zone out can be a lot easier said than done. So, if your time\'s too precious to devote an entire evening to self-gratification, we\'d recommend this. Pour a couple of drops into the shower and even the speediest wash & go will turn into a mind-settling, soul-soothing, breath-slowing affair. Say aaaaaah.

Korres Green Silt and Corallina Oligoelements Scrub
If you think your feet are neglected, you\'ve probably forgotten about your scalp (again). Make things right with this innovative scalp scrub that shifts dead cells and all traces of silicone styling products. Perfect for an early new year resolution - and for hair that shimmers with health.

Body Boutique Wrap Factor Kit
If you fancy the therapeutic benefits of a mud wrap but are too shy to get naked in front of a therapist, try this spa-style home treatment. It might be a faff to get on, but once cocooned, it\'s oddly relaxing and the end results - tighter, firmer - are well worth the down time.

Ren Rose Nourishing Body Oil Set
Not only does this beautiful kit come with the two best-selling Moroccan Rose Otto body products, but to accompany your newly nourished skin, you also get a pot of detoxifying mint and rose green tea. Gives curling up on the sofa with a cuppa a whole new, and far more luxurious, meaning.

Balance Me Signature Set
The first time we saw these cutely packaged goodies, we were smitten. Then we found out that the range is all natural and aromatherapeutic - at a non-prohibitive price. This kit features all the things we\'ve already fallen in love with - including the Rose Body Balm and Body Exfoliating Polish - and is ideal for some night-in, candle-burning, phone-switched off pampering time.

Origins Ginger All Round Kit
There aren\'t many times of year when the signature, spicy scent of Origins ginger range doesn\'t get us blessed out - but at Xmas, it\'s utterly perfect. This seasonal treat for the senses includes a body scrub, cream and bubble bath (just for starters) - so that you can overindulge all night long - with absolutely no regrets the next morning.
£40
face mask,skincare,Bliss
Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask
Any decent pampering session should be rounded off with a facemask - but not all skin treats are created equal. This spa-strength skin treat in a tube serves up the efficacy of the Triple Oxygen Facial at a fraction of the price. A regular sell-out at the spa, it\'s also an A-list favourite - which is why we like using it in the comfort of our very, very average bathrooms.
