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). And if you’re looking for the cause, hyperpigmentation isn’t linked to a single trigger –…

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…

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…

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. 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…

This high-tech treatment gave me a seriously good skin day
Facial treatments used to be something you did before a wedding or after a breakup. But somewhere between the rise of clinical skincare and the collective fatigue with DIY everything, they’ve taken on a new role. Now, it’s much less about indulgence and much more about targeted, technical intervention. But if your skin is already…

Naked Sundays’ new SPF line is here to give you the summer glow-up of dreams
Sometimes I have to give products the benefit of the doubt. I hold on to the premise that “it will get better” because I can’t come to terms with the fact that a £60 product has just given me a rash and now I need to pile on my foundation like I’m layering a birthday…

Can the Tata Harper moisturiser fix my dry skin? I tested it to see
I’ve always been suspicious of moisturisers that claim to be both “lightweight” and “fortifying.” In my experience, you usually have to pick a lane. Either you go for the kind of rich, heavy cream that sticks to your face like butter, or you opt for something light and silky (which usually vanishes on contact). Tata…

I’m going coco-nuts for Palmer’s new Brazilian Coco Cream
If I could bottle up the smell of a beach holiday, I’d probably bathe in it twice a day and still spritz it on my pillow at night. There’s just something about the smell of coconut that takes me back to my favourite summer trip (Playa del Carmen, 2024). Here’s a little disclaimer: I am…

Here comes the sun: We tested the latest face sunscreens, and the winners are here
In beauty, most rules are made to be broken. You can skip your hair wash day, wear lipstick as blush, or go foundation-free and still feel pulled together. But if there’s one rule you just can’t bend, is wearing SPF. Face sunscreens protect against premature ageing, sun damage, and the kind of fine lines that…
