We’re only five days into January, and already you’d be forgiven for wanting to pull the curtains on 2021 and hibernate until we’re back in business. But given that our hair is an extension of our mood, the re-emerging 70s curtain fringe couldn’t really be a better fit. Full, thick and swishy, it’s a haircut

Always a sartorially savvy investment, the puffer jacket – despite being reminiscent of a marshmallow and not *really* that flattering – reigns supreme as one of the most sought-after outwear pieces each and every winter. Sure, with each trip around the sun comes a bit of a reinvention (last year styles by Balenciaga, Acne and

Skincare has become an overwhelming landscape – from thousands of brands to baffling ingredients jargon and confusing claims. Alice du Parcq cuts through the BS* *That’s beauty speak “Soliberine is the new superhero antioxidant to commute-proof your skin!” Sorry, soli-what-now? This is the opening line of the ninth email I’ve received this week pushing a

We all cry, and there’s really no shame in it. Crying helps relieve stress and sometimes just feels good. But recently, hours after one of my emotion-expressing sessions, I realised that my skin was freaking out. Pimples took over my cheek area, making me wonder (and Google) enough times this year to justifying writing an

Thanks to the joys of face mask-wearing, stress, pollution, and over-enthusiastic, stripping skincare habits, more and more people suffer from dehydrated skin: skin that has trouble holding on to all-important, cell-plumping water. Even combination and oily skins can be dehydrated: if yours has the infuriating tendency to look oily, but feel decidedly taut and uncomfortable

It’s been one year since the first reported cases, and there’s still a lot we don’t know about Covid-19. What we do know, however, is that the virus is closely related to other coronaviruses in bats and pangolin, and that the most likely origin of the global pandemic is animal-to-human infection. While health officials haven’t

Truth be told, we’ve been low-key obsessed with Dr. Paul Nassif ever since he popped up on our screens 10 years ago in the first season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. So now that he’s back with Season 6 of Botched, the reality show where they make very bad cosmetic surgery good again, our

New year, new baby? Maybe not quite, but we’re guessing you’re here because you’re starting to think about it. Or maybe you’ve done your thinking and are in the ‘seeing what happens’ phase. And maybe nothing’s happened. Yet. If 2021 is the year you’re making a concerted effort to start a family – or simply

One of my favorite things about getting tattooed is that it never really feels the same way twice. Different parts of the body (and different people as a whole) have differing levels of pain tolerance, and the healing process can go so many different ways depending on where a tattoo is located, too. Hand tattoos

If there’s one thing 2020 has been good for, it’s TV shows. There was the LOLS (Schitt’s Creek season 6), the creepy (The Haunting of Bly Manor), the groundbreaking (I May Destroy You), the gripping (The Undoing), the regal (The Crown season four), the sexy (Normal People) and the absolutely downright batsh*t (Tiger King, obv).

Suffering with dry, flaky, rash-ridden or oily skin but no idea what’s causing it? It could well be related to your daily shower. Indeed, according to experts, millions of us are making the same crucial mistakes when we wash our bodies and these faux pas are wreaking havoc with our skin. Here, we’ve called on

2020? Completed it mate. Here we are, at the end of a year that was, experts say, simultaneously both about half an hour and 25 years long. But while most of us lowered our bar for ‘success’ to include such feats as morning teeth-brushing and remembering to put on trousers for the postman, the year

Are ‘toxic’ beauty products really to blame for everything from skin rashes to deforestation? Anita Bhagwandas finds out… It has two billion hashtags on Instagram, over a billion Google results and everyone’s talking about it. No, this isn’t a piece about the climate crisis. We’re talking about ‘clean beauty’. This ambiguous term has become the

Six years ago, Makela Saint Fort was eating just one orange a day and having suicidal thoughts about her body. Now she’s a plus-size model. This is her journey from self-loathing to self-love… When I was 16, I would watch the Victoria’s Secret fashion show five times a week. The host called the models the

Thinking back to March when the pandemic was at its peak and Boris Johnson announced we were heading into a ‘lockdown.’ We weren’t sure what life was going to be like, we swarmed the supermarkets, stocked up on the ‘essentials’ (definitely not booze) waved to our colleagues and families on Zoom and embraced a new

Dilemma: you love the idea of a signature scent but the perfume aisles tempt you to cheat. Relax, Alice du Parcq serves up a whole new way to spray… “It’s the denim one,” says my cousin, four Aperols later as we’re leaving the pub. I’m fumbling for our jackets while she orders an Uber and

Many celebrities have spoken about their psoriasis diagnosis: Kim Kardashian was famously diagnosed with psoriasis during one episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and often posts a photo of an outfit where a patch of dry skin can be seen. Model and actress Cara Delevingne, another high profile psoriasis sufferer, doesn’t shy away from
