You only have to glance at Bridgerton’s elegant Regency ladies (or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) to know that the neck is an unheralded erogenous zone. A surprisingly delicate area, the skin here is inclined to age faster than its facial counterpart, but is often neglected. While many of us religiously cleanse, hydrate, and treat our faces, our necks often go without. Why do we need to look after our necks? “The neck lacks sebaceous glands and tends to be less oily than the face,” explains…
‘Scalp health’ is the beauty buzzword du jour for good reason; the length, lustre and health of your hair depends on the skin that covers your head. With stress and pollution levels consistently creeping up and up, it’s hardly surprising we’ve all got scalp issues on our mind. Research by Philip Kingsley indicates that 42 per cent of the UK population are conscious about a scalp issue, while Space NK reported a 196 per cent growth in its ‘scalp care’ category in…
The definition of ‘diva’ is loose—a prima donna with a rider as thick as a dictionary, a female version of a hustler, a toddler in a tiara—but one prerequisite is non-negotiable: Major. Hair. Because as these divas prove, the higher it is, the closer to hitting G5. From Harper’s Bazaar US…
For some, a bold lip is a staple in our repertoire of looks. For others, we look forward to the holidays all year long as an excuse to rock a deep berry or rich red. It’s a special statement and signals a celebratory occasion. Even though we won’t be attending any beautifully catered holiday parties (the cookies, the cocktails … ugh), we can still get our lip on for a festive feel at home, and take plenty of photos, and drink plenty of wine.The first…
Even though the New Year will see all of us staying home and safe, that does not mean that we shouldn’t wait for the countdown to begin looking fabulous as we hope for 2021 to be better. We are dead sure that your choice of outerwear will be something comfortable, but the choice of makeup should be perfect. Don’t let the holiday spirit fade away but make everything possible to be happy that day. We all went through so many…
Yves Saint Laurent has left an unforgettable legacy that will always be remembered. The designer is widely known for creating “Le Smoking Suit” which became the signature for women empowerment. Besides the beautiful collections that were presented since the day Yves Saint Laurent opened his fashion house, the designer also presented on the catwalks wonderful jewels that only screamed for perfection. From XXL heart-shaped earrings to maxi necklaces, YSL’s jewels had an important impact in the 80s and the beginning…

Just think about going to a meeting or going on a date. People will notice your hands and especially your nails, so it is better to start thinking about them. Brands have launched so many nail polishes and there are thousands and thousands of shades you can try, but one important…
If eyes are the windows to our soul, then hands are the massive double French doors. We spend so much time and resources working on our crow’s feet and our frown lines, but what about the delicate skin of our hands? Don’t they deserve the same TLC? Oui, oui. I’ve always been a firm believer that hands show your true age—not that this is a bad thing at all. But for me, personally, I want to age gracefully, which means paying…
Nowadays we can truly have it all when choosing our hair length. In fact, we can segway seamlessly from short and choppy to long and tumbling in a matter of minutes. Extensions are the equivalent of hair wizardry. They can summon volume and length, where there was none before. Magic. But, extensions can be tricky to look after, especially if you decide to go DIY. If you’re considering taking your hair from bob length to boob length, we’ve put together a guide on the different types of extensions to…
OK, so we picked it. We were told not to—we tried to stop ourselves, we really did. And now, we face the unforgiving aftermath that is discoloration, uneven tone and texture, and the sad memory of our personal foible. An acne scar. Heavy sigh. Some acne scars seem to last forever.
