Six feel-good essentials I’m reaching for as we move into a new season

September always feels like a natural reset. The pace begins to shift, routines return, and after the spontaneity of summer, I find myself craving a little more structure, particularly when it comes to wellbeing. For me, that doesn’t mean an impossibly complicated routine. It’s about a handful of products that are genuinely enjoyable to use and easy to weave into everyday life.

This month’s edit spans everything from supplements and gut-friendly gummies to soothing skincare and a serious dose of hydration. Think of it as my September toolkit for feeling a little more nourished, refreshed and ready for autumn! Let's Go!

Wild Nutrition Magnesium

Magnesium has earned a permanent place in the wellness conversation, and Wild Nutrition’s Food-Grown Magnesium is the kind of uncomplicated supplement that fits beautifully into a daily routine. Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal muscle function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, which makes it particularly appealing as life becomes busier again in September.

Why it made my edit: A simple everyday addition for supporting energy, muscles and general wellbeing as routines ramp up again.

ELLE SERA

There’s something wonderfully luxurious about turning a supplement into a ritual. The gleaming gold pot and capsules make this feel less like another item on the to-do list and more like a little moment of self-care. Do I want to buy another jar just to put my earrings in? Yes, yes I do.

These supplements boost your libido (ohhh yes!), balances hormones and keeps my energy levels at full.

Why it made my edit: for women, made my women! The all round glow in my appearance makes all the difference.

Avène Thermal Spring Water

A light mist feels instantly refreshing when skin is hot, tight or uncomfortable, and the formula is designed to soothe sensitive skin and help reduce irritation.

As we move from summer heat into cooler days and central-heating season, I particularly like having a mist within reach for a quick skin refresh. It’s effortless, soothing and requires virtually no thought, my kind of beauty staple.

Why it made my edit: The ultimate desk, handbag or bathroom-shelf refresher for skin that needs a moment of calm.

LVGND Balance Probiotic + Vitamin Gummies

Wellness routines are considerably easier to stick to when they’re actually enjoyable, which is part of the appeal of LVGND Balance. These pineapple-flavoured probiotic and vitamin gummies bring a playful element to the supplement shelf.

They’re a particularly fitting September pick when many of us are getting back into regular meal, sleep and work routines after summer. As probiotic formulations can differ considerably, I’d look at the specific strains, quantities and vitamin doses on the pack rather than assuming all probiotic products offer identical benefits.

Why it made my edit: A fun, easy-to-take addition to a back-to-routine wellness ritual, with a tropical nod to the summer we’re leaving behind.

Dodi HEALTH Only Hair

This month my attention turns towards hair health. dodiHEALTH Only Hair gummies are designed specifically with hair in mind, with the product positioned to support the maintenance of normal hair and natural hair colour, as well as protection of cells from oxidative stress.

I like the fact that this is a targeted addition rather than a vague one-size-fits-all beauty supplement — and the mango-flavoured gummy makes it an especially easy one to eat!

Why it made my edit: A beauty-from-within option for giving hair a little extra attention as we head into autumn.

Rénové Skin ReNew³ Elixir

And finally, the skincare step. Rénové Skin ReNew³ Elixir brings together retinol, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, a combination that makes perfect sense for the seasonal shift towards a more considered evening skincare routine.

Hyaluronic acid brings the hydration focus, while retinol is a well-established skincare ingredient for improving the appearance of skin texture and signs of photoageing over time. Retinoids can also be irritating, however, so I favour a gradual introduction rather than going all-in from night one. And daytime SPF remains essential when using retinol.

Why it made my edit: A more active, hydration-conscious approach to autumn skincare, with ingredients that turn an evening routine into a proper ritual.
