From the wacky to the wonderful, here are the latest wellness trends everyone is obsessing over.
A IS FOR APP WE LOVE
Don’t get us wrong, meditation apps are great. But if you’re still struggling with living in the moment, maybe it’s time you download WeCroak, an app that sends you regular, terse alerts that you’re going to die one day. In Bhutan, they say contemplating death five times a day brings happiness— and it is reportedly one of the happiest countries in the world. An effective way to remind you to stop and smell the roses.
B IS FOR BAKUCHIOL
Bakuchiol is the star of Retin-Alts, a new wave of plant-based retinols that deliver similar results as retinoids. Think wrinkle-busting and radiance-boosting, but gentler. This antioxidant-rich, anti-inflammatory ingredient can be found in Ren’s Bio Retinoid Anti-Ageing Cream and Omorovicza’s Miracle Facial Oil, as well as Allies of Skin’s new Mandelic Pigmentation Corrector Night Serum. “I consider bakuchiol as an active with Swiss Army knife utility. It works on all skin types and provides all the benefits of retinol without any of the irritation,” says Nicolas Travis, founder of Allies of Skin.
C IS FOR CELERY
Celery may be the unsexiest “green” superfood going, but if you want to detox and improve digestion at the same time, health experts are saying this is the stuff to blitz and down first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Not only is it a nifty blood purifier—the coumarins in celery enhance white blood cell activity—it’s also rich in vitamin A and magnesium, and acts like a natural diuretic. Bye bye bloat!
D IS FOR DNA CODE
