With her Zen approach to beauty, Alicia Keys is aiming for world domination in the skincare and wellbeing space with Keys Soulcare. More than just a skincare line, the rituals that accompany the products are designed to "help you create space for yourself! So we can be good to ourselves everyday!" said Keys of her initial product drop in December last year. She added, "Now more than ever we need these rituals." 

And as of today the brand is available both Stateside and in the UK.

The first 'ritual' comprised a stylish edit of face cream, facial roller and candle. Now the line has expanded to include six new products all with chic packaging that bely its affordable price tag and affirmations to boost our emotional wellbeing, too.

Aptly, the collection isn't just about improving on your physical appearance—Soulcare is focused more on the ritual of self-love and pampering. Perhaps the affirmation that accompanies the Comforting Balm sums up the range best: "You surround yourself with things that are good for you."
