  • 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…

  • Tired of pistachio? Here are 10 summer mists to consider

    Raise your hand if you’re getting just a little tired of the pistachio craze. From desserts to body mists, this nutty note has exploded everywhere—and even luxury chocolatiers are cashing in (hello, £10-Dubai chocolate bars).

  • 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 –…

  • Yes, hair perfume exists – and ARKIVE makes it worth trying

    When was the last time you deliberately spritzed perfume into your hair? I mean an actual scent made just for your hair? Exactly. I didn’t think I was the kind of person who needed hair perfume either. It always felt like the kind of extra reserved for people with colour-coded wardrobes and Diptyque candles they…

  • More than meets the eye: These are the best mascaras for 2026, tried and tested

    Your favourite mascara works harder than Kris Jenner did when launching Kim Kardashian’s model career. And it should. It’s the final flourish to a full face, an instant eye enhancer that defines, volumises, and lifts our lashes, and often the only product we’ll apply when time is tight. Because they have been a beauty staple…

  • 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…
