The season is changing and with it comes a slew of new products for our skincare and beauty needs. Even with social distancing, we should not neglect our skin and body wellness. We have to make extra efforts to uplift our mood and spirit every day. If you’re taking care of yourself in the way that you want to, then that’s all the positivity the world needs right now. Here’re the best beauty buys to put in your (online) shopping cart this April!
Irene Forte Skincare

Irene Forte is a name to be reckoned with in the world of beauty. Having created the Rocco Forte Hotels wellness concept and spearheaded its launch across the company’s hotels and spas, Irene is also on the Global Wellness Summit advisory board. Her skincare range is a nutrient-rich skincare line inspired by Sicily. Debuting on our favorite site–Net-A-Porter–and select stockists worldwide, the range is available at all spas within the Rocco Forte Hotels in London, Rome, Puglia, Sicily, Frankfurt, Berlin, and Munich.
The range is a veritable “Mediterranean diet for the skin”. It features ingredients grown on an organic farm within the idyllic Verdura Resort in Sicily. With access to a high level of freshness and quality unparalleled in cosmetic manufacturing, consumers are guaranteed with only the best products. We particularly love the age-defying pistachio face mask in 50ml. It’s priced at HKD $1,177. All you need to do is apply a generous layer to clean, dry skin and leave on for up to 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Afterward, you’ll notice that your skin has become subtly radiant, a glow from within if you will.
