“There are nuances here depending on different hormone dominance,” Richardson adds. “This can also be exacerbated by our day to day lives like stress and our diets but also as a result of medical conditions which is why it’s important to look into it if you suspect something isn’t quite right.” What to do if

Forget heavy kohl eyeliner and lashings of mascara. According to Peter Philips, the creative and image director of Christian Dior makeup, there’s a new way to dress your eyes for 2024 – and it involves pops of raspberry pink eyeshadow. “For the [autumn/winter’24] show, I created a surprising vibrant eye makeup,” he says. Quite the

The fashion week runways may be serving up a slew of autumn/winter trends right now, but it’s the street style set who are putting together current season outfit recipes to serve as ready-made wardrobe inspiration for early spring. Whether you’re growing tired of throwing on the same old winter coat every day or you’re just

But once the blow-dry was finished I was quite pleasantly surprised. It looked smoother, sleeker, with no fly-away hair and no frizz. But it wasn’t until I’d slept on it that this product really showed its strength. My blow-dry remained almost perfect. I got three compliments that day, asking if I’d had my hair done!

Building a spring capsule wardrobe isn’t all that different from filling your closet with wardrobe essentials; many of the building blocks overlap, which means you’re probably already halfway there. What you’ll find in the ultimate spring capsule wardrobe? The usual suspects, for sure: white T-shirts, a few tank tops, the best jeans and perhaps a

But even worse: Bridget Jones was never ground-breaking and brilliant like Ms Bradshaw. She was regressive, problematic and symptomatic of a toxic, pre-Me Too time – and the dangerous and devastating diet culture of the noughties. As the brilliant Kevin Maher of The Times wrote today of the original 2001 film’s plot: “Even still, in

We visited in the winter (-2°C), so we needed to start a fire immediately (make sure you follow the instructions in your field guide). We struggled at first to start the fire, but when you do and the cabin starts to warm up, there is an immense amount of pleasure from such a simple task.

I sat with three consultants to go through the next stages. I was given two options. There’s the medical route, which involves taking a tablet that allows the foetus to pass through naturally – the other option was surgery to remove the foetus and my right fallopian tube. I didn’t initially want the surgery, as

Romanticise your life. It’s a phrase you’ve probably seen more and more over the last few years – perhaps as a brand slogan or article headline or beneath a snap on social media accompanied by a long caption about reinventing yourself, buying yourself nice things, behaving as though your life is a film. Maybe you

On the roof of a four-storey carpet shop in Tunis, the pale afternoon sun is sinking behind the jumble of sand-coloured houses. Huge kilim and margoum rugs hang between stone arches, and two small cats tumble and play at my feet, the ground beneath us covered in hundreds of intricate tiles. “This is the best

And while the juggernaut power of social media has pushed the condition increasingly into the light, not all derms and doctors are on the same wavelength. A questionnaire distributed to UK-based dermatology consultants, registrars and fellows found that “34% considered TSW to be a distinct clinical entity” (or accepted skin condition) – only 17.5% did

I could write a love letter to my favourite retinol serums and creams. In fact, that’s kind of what this guide is. As a 20-something-year-old beauty journalist, I haven’t always understood the appeal of retinoid-infused formulas. For a while, I allowed myself to believe into the common misconception that retinol can only benefit mature skin.

The best memory foam mattresses are a one-way ticket to a good night’s sleep. While you may be practising good sleep habits like limiting screen time, meditating before bed, and avoiding caffeine, a worn-out, sagging mattress can still hinder your chances of achieving the rejuvenating rest you deserve for optimal well-being. Enter: the humble memory

This article references baby loss. Parents who lose a baby before 24 weeks of pregnancy in England will now be able to apply for a ‘baby loss certificate’ in recognition of their bereavement. In a statement, Health and Social Care Secretary Victoria Atkins said, “Losing a baby can be a hugely traumatic event, and the

We spotted them on the boldest street-style stars last year, and it’s clear that they’re making even more of a comeback for SS24; women’s cowboy boots are the official-unofficial footwear of choice for everyone from festival goers to Beyoncé herself. The good news? There’s not a single designer or high street brand that hasn’t hopped

Think the UK is progressive when it comes to abortion? Think again. Under the Abortion Act 1967 (as amended by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990), abortions are only considered “legal” up until the 24-week mark. Anyone who terminates a pregnancy after that point can be subjected to a penalty as harsh as a

If you’re expecting the Susan Fang & Other Stories collaboration to have an ethereal colour palette and silhouettes that draw inspiration from the natural world, you’ll be pleased to hear that’s exactly what you’ll find. It’s what the designer’s renowned for, after all. Set to be spring encapsulated, the collection – which is due to

Has anyone else had the Usher Super Bowl halftime performance on repeat ever since it first aired? The show will go down as one of our all time favourites, featuring everything from costume changes and roller skates to appearances from the likes of Alicia Keys, Ludacris, H.E.R and Lil Jon in a show-stopping medley of

The UK’s first-ever edition of Love Island: All Stars has finally come to an end, and it’s been quite the whirlwind. Though some might have compared the show to Ex On The Beach thanks to a bevy of ex partners being reunited in the famous villa, there’s undoubtedly some strong couples that have made it

In the villa: Dumped week 38 In the outside world: “We’ve proven a lot of people wrong,” Callum later said, per the Mirror. “A lot of people thought I was a traitor or whatever they want to call it, but yeah. Everything is going well. I mean, the show was worth it.” Series 7 Liam
