Space NK

If your idea of an alluring complexion is more English rose than spray-tan saffron, you’d be wise to check out this Brentwood beauty spot. UK-based proprietress Nicky Kinnaird has a knack for discovering under-the-radar skincare brands and turning them into household names—Brit hits currently tipped for greatness are restorative skin serums by facialist Sarah Chapman, heavenly scented bath products by Beautannia, and high-tech anti-agers by Zelens (fronted by plastic surgeon Dr. Marko Lenz). Add in ultra-savvy sales staff and a space that maintains its original 1940s charm, and you’ll soon be converted to this shop’s cutting-edge-meets-classic beauty approach.
