It is well-documented that the Harper's Bazaar beauty team is discerning about skincare and make-up formulas (we share the products that make the cut each year in our Bazaar Best of the Best Beauty Awards), but we're equally fastidious about all things wellness.
Considering the breadth of tinctures, tools and retreats promising to make you feel better from the inside-out, we decided that the category required a celebration of its own: enter the inaugural Wellbeing Awards. To find our winners, we took a closer look at the science behind the gadgets and the ingredients in each formula; spritzing pillow sprays, sipping adaptogenic drinks and strapping on LED face masks – all to help you navigate the often overwhelming world of wellness.
