The gift of health and beauty with Dr. David Jack, Elevate and more.

The colder months are a time to recharge and reset — a season of quiet renewal after the vibrant pace of summer’s end. In today’s language, it’s all about self-care: putting your body and mind first, and refocusing on wellness and balance. The Royal Exchange’s health and beauty boutiques offer the perfect sanctuary to create new winter rituals. From indulgent facials to nourishing smoothies, find your rhythm for the season — and finish the year feeling restored.

Luminosity is the aim of Dr David Jack’s Korean Glass Skin Facial, which gives you an instant, visible glow. This treatment “clears congested, breakout-prone skin, calming skin redness and sensitivity and visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles,” says the brand. It’s finished by the Golki massage technique — to shape your jawline “for a sculpted, lifted complexion.”

Brightness is the goal of, Elevate, too, which introduces a trio of functional favourites designed for the colder days. Sip on bone broth, a clean, protein-rich blend to strengthen immunity and support gut health. Try the pumpkin spice protein shake, a festive mix of pumpkin, cinnamon, and vanilla protein. And for a subtle indulgence, top any coffee with the new light and creamy vanilla protein cold foam.

For the ultimate winter glow-up, visit our beauty practitioners M&K Aesthetics, which combines “medical-grade treatments with a bespoke approach to beauty,” the boutique explains. With a team comprised of skilled aesthetic practitioners and medical nurses “passionate about delivering safe, natural-looking results,” it offers an exhaustive range of treatments from hydrafacials to Morpheus8.

Winter wellness starts from within — and Acai Berry’s latest seasonal menu is here to keep you glowing, nourished and energised. The brand’s new açai bowl‚ Pistachio Dream “is creamy, crunchy and totally crave-worthy,” it says. Give your immune system a tasty winter boost and warm up with its Flu Fighter juice: choose from an apple or orange base, blended with ginger, lemon, cinnamon and honey.

The brand explains how “the winter menu has something for everyone: from earthy Winter Beets Juice with a peppery kick to the decadent Choco High and skin boosting Collagen Glow smoothies.”  Its shots, too, are new and improved — pick up a shot to go, “all created to energise, indulge and nourish.”
