Back from holiday? Here’s your ultimate glow recovery guide
By this time you’ve likely ticked off your summer holidays (unless you’re one of the lucky ones who’s saved it for September). Beach days are wonderful: sun-kissed skin, sandy toes, that perfectly undone “messy hair don’t care” vibe. But the moment you land back home, reality hits. Skin that once glowed under the sun now…

Time to shine: Kulfi’s shimmery eyeshadows (and more) are now available in the UK
I like makeup that packs a punch. If I’m giving up 20 minutes of my morning to put on a face, I want payoff: actual light-catching shimmer, colour that doesn’t blend into nothing, and textures that behave. And thankfully, Kulfi’s founder, Priyanka, seems to be in agreement. When I first tried Sitara Sparkles, one of…

Can this cult serum really help treat your summer hyperpigmentation?
If you’re dealing with heightened hyperpigmentation this summer, you’re not alone. In a recent study of 48,000 people, as many as 50% reported suffering from at least one pigmentation disorder, which includes both hyperpigmentation (darkened patches) and hypopigmentation (lightened patches).

47 Skin’s new SPF promised clearer skin – and delivered
As someone who’s dealt with acne in one form or another throughout my adult life, I’ve grown deeply skeptical of anti-blemish products. My skin constantly moves along a spectrum between breaking out and recovering from breakouts and no product, in my experience, truly solves the issue at its core. At this point, the goal is…

L’Occitane’s new stick deodorants are so good, I had to write about them
I never thought I’d be devoting short of a thousand keystrokes to deodorant. A brand new night serum, sure. Stay-all-day mascaras, absolutely. But deodorant isn’t exactly the sexy end of my beauty desk. As a beauty editor, my loyalty to any product is scarce — let alone the humble deodorant. My bathroom has been a…

Smarter styling ahead: Cloud Nine’s new Contouring Wide Iron is here
Anyone with thick or long hair knows that straightening or curling it can feel like an endurance test. Endless sectioning, multiple passes, aching arms, and that constant worry that the heat you’re using might be doing more harm than good. It’s a daily hassle that we tend to brush aside, but it shapes how confident…

Light it up: Stylpro’s new LED beauty tools bring the clinic home
There was a time when LED light therapy belonged to dermatologists and high-end facialists. You’d lie under a panel glowing bright red or blue, listening to soft spa music, while someone whispered about collagen and cell renewal. Then you’d pay a bill large enough to make your Amex sweat. Fast-forward to now, and LED has…

Do you double cleanse every night? Here’s why you should
We all technically know that double cleansing is essential to truly clear our skin- not just to remove stubborn makeup, but also to get rid of everything else that builds up throughout the day: pollution, grease, sweat, and all the other invisible impurities hanging in the air. Still, it’s one of those skincare steps that’s…

I ignored my chicken skin for years – until I found this
There’s a strange hierarchy in skincare: your face gets all the attention, your hands get at least a special hand cream, and your legs get whatever’s left over. But in my mid-twenties, I realised my legs were the part of my body I overlooked the most and felt the most insecure about. I always had…
