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).

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.

What is double cleansing and why is it so important?
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.

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…

Hay Fever: AKT’s theatrical new deodorant that knows how to perform
When you put deodorant and drama in the same sentence – it usually isn’t a good thing. But Hay Fever is the rare exception. AKT’s new limited-edition deodorant balm is as theatrical as it sounds. It was unveiled earlier this June at The Ambassadors – the same theatre where Hay Fever premiered in 1925 –…
