This Advent Calendar Puts Wellness First – Here’s What Sets It Apart
For many of us, the festive season in Malta is synonymous with indulgent meals, lively gatherings, and a touch of seasonal chaos. Amid the feasts of pastizzi, fresh seafood spreads, and endless rounds of imqaret, it’s easy to forget the importance of self-care. But what if there was a way to balance the joy of Christmas dining with moments of relaxation and wellness? Enter Espa’s wellness advent calendar—a perfect reminder to prioritize your physical and mental health during the busiest time of the year.
Espa, a British brand with over 30 years of expertise in holistic cosmetics, has long been celebrated for its unique approach to skincare and wellness. Known for blending plant-based and marine ingredients with aromatherapy oils, Espa brings spa-level luxury into your everyday routine. For fans of fine dining in Malta, the concept feels like pairing a Michelin-starred meal with an expertly curated wine list—it’s all about harmony and balance. With this advent calendar, you’re essentially bringing the essence of a five-star spa into your home, offering the perfect counterpoint to the indulgence of the season.
The calendar itself is a feast for the senses, with 25 carefully selected items designed to nourish your skin, hair, and overall wellbeing. For those who love the idea of pairing self-care with Malta’s lifestyle of sun-soaked days and fresh Mediterranean air, this calendar is a great way to start the new year feeling revitalized. Haircare enthusiasts can look forward to the optimal pro shampoo and conditioner, along with a silk scrunchie to protect hair from breakage—a thoughtful touch for those who enjoy beach days and breezy outdoor dinners. Meanwhile, skincare aficionados will find everything from cleansers to serums and moisturisers, including the bestselling overnight hydration therapy mask, packed with algae and hyaluronic acid to combat dryness after a day exploring Malta's historic streets or relaxing by the sea.
What sets the 2025 edition apart are the 14 new products debuting in this year’s lineup. Regular customers won’t feel like they’re revisiting old ground; instead, they can try innovative formulas such as the 24-hour replenishing eye moisturiser and the pro-glow skin-quenching serum. The inclusion of full-size items—over 10 of the 25 products—means you’re not just sampling but truly investing in a self-care routine that lasts beyond December. It’s a thoughtful way to replenish your skincare stock during a season that often demands late nights and rich meals.
For those seeking moments of calm amid Malta’s vibrant Christmas festivities, the calendar offers an array of relaxation-focused products. Imagine unwinding after a long day of holiday shopping in Valletta with a soothing bath milk or a comforting pulse-point oil infused with sweet orange, neroli, and bergamot essential oils. These products not only rejuvenate your body but also uplift your spirit, much like a quiet morning walk along the Dingli Cliffs or a meditative yoga session on a Gozo beach.
The advent calendar comes in a sturdy, reusable blue box that’s perfect for organizing your beauty essentials or even crafting a DIY advent calendar for next year. In a season where sustainability is increasingly important—both in food and lifestyle—this thoughtful packaging aligns with Malta’s growing embrace of eco-conscious living.
Whether you’re a foodie soaking up Malta’s culinary scene or someone dedicated to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, investing in self-care is essential. Espa’s wellness advent calendar serves as a reminder that wellness doesn’t have to be an afterthought—it can be part of the celebration. With calendars from brands like Harrods and Lookfantastic already sold out, this offering from Espa is expected to be highly sought-after. So, if you’re ready to bring a slice of spa serenity into your Maltese holiday season, don’t wait too long to secure yours.
After all, just as great food nourishes the soul, these moments of self-care can nourish your body and mind, ensuring you start 2026 refreshed, balanced, and ready to savor everything Malta has to offer.
