February 21, 2022 at 06:30AM From hydrocolloid bandages becoming acne treatments to using “frozen moisturizer,” TikTok has become the top destination for discovering strange skincare trends. While the social media app might not be the birthplace of some of these beauty hacks, it’s become a platform where they can truly flourish. Case in point: skincare slugging. The oddly-named trend has reached massive popularity over the past year, thanks to TikTok skinfluencers touting it as a fairly easy way to lock moisture into the skin via Vaseline or another petrolatum-based ointment.So what is slugging, exactly? According to Tracy Evans MD, MPH, board-certified dermatologist and Medical Director of Pacific Skin and Cosmetic Dermatology, “Slugging is the process of covering the skin (of the face usually) with an occlusive product such as Vaseline (petroleum jelly), Aquaphor, or a very heavy cream-based moisturiser and keeping it on overnight.”…

February 21, 2022 at 06:14AM Here in Britain, we’re fortunate to have one of the most eclectic fashion scenes out there. From punk to polish, Dr. Martens to twinsets, so broad is the term “British style” it’s difficult for even us to pinpoint. But that’s what we love about it. After all, fashion is one of the most readily available forms of self-expression, and we don’t think anyone should be limited to one aesthetic.Still, some pieces feel undeniably British—aka staples that can be found in just about every Brit wardrobe, whatever the other items hanging alongside them may look like. Assemble them, and what do you get? Twelve absolutely British fashion essentials, all of which can be worn in a multitude of ways.Scroll below to see how some of our favourite UK-based influencers style them and shop the pieces you need to complete…

February 21, 2022 at 06:11AM After two years of uncertainty and postponements, I think—correction, I know—that 2022 is going to be the year of the wedding. I myself already have four this summer, and that number looks set to grow towards the end the year, as more couples I know have renewed confidence that their nuptials will be able to go ahead. So, this means the hunt for a great wedding guest outfit is officially on.Assuming you too have your fair-share of weddings to attend this year, I’m here to help you in your quest to be the coolest guest, push aside the stereotypical ideas about wedding attire and instead think about the below wedding outfit suggestions. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with falling back on a midi dress (particularly if you pair it with fancy shoes), but you can also opt for a spring-ready suit or…

February 21, 2022 at 06:03AM Let me get this out of the way: I’m one of the very few people who hasn’t watched Euphoria yet. I know. However, thanks to White Lotus and our Who What Wear cover shoot last year, I’m still very familiar with Sydney Sweeney. So when she was photographed wearing a pair of attainable trainers that are still in stock, I got just as excited as all of you Cassie fans out there. Sweeney recently wore the Sorel Kinetic Breakthru Tech Lace Trainers (£115) with a cute knit matching set and coat while walking her dog. Side note: Have you ever seen such an L.A. outfit? It’s warm enough for booty shorts, but it’s still winter, so you throw on a light coat just in case. That’s SoCal for you. Her trainers, however, are super cute and practical—even for the weather we’re having in Britain right now—and have essentially earned…

February 21, 2022 at 06:00AM Here’s the thing about medium-length hair—it’s incredibly versatile. It’s not too short and it’s not too long, which means you get the best of both worlds as far as styling is concerned. Do you want to straighten your hair into a sleek, centre-parted lob? Great. How about showing off your natural texture in a curly topknot? Or, do you want to replicate the wet-look hairstyle that celebrities like J.Lo and Kim Kardashian have made famous? With medium-length hair, you have all of these options and more (many more).The best part is that you don’t have to be a professional hairstylist to achieve A-list results. There are countless examples of medium-length hairstyles that are both easy and flattering (trust us, those two things can coexist). You might just need some proof to believe it. That’s where we come in. Keep scrolling to see 15 of our favourite…

February 21, 2022 at 06:00AM As far as shopping experiences go, finding a great pair of jeans on the high street used to be tough (IRL or online, TBH). But over the past few years, there’s been an influx of affordable styles, lengths and shapes that suit every body shape. It’s no longer good enough that “cheap” jeans should feel cheap, so gone are the days of ill-fitting, saggy pairs made of fabric that quickly wears away.Seeing as I only have one body (and different figures suit different jeans), I decided to put the question to our Facebook group So… Should I Buy This? on the jeans the members rate on the high street right now. There were some brands that were mentioned several times, and while I wouldn’t say there were any surprises, it’s clear that jeans have a lot of people talking, with over…

February 21, 2022 at 06:00AM While our skin barrier is nothing new—we all have one after all—I reckon it might just be the beauty buzz term of 2022 so far. And for good reason: While understanding your skin type and chatting to the best dermatologists in the business can take you so far when it comes to achieving amazing skin, if you’re not clued-up on the health of your skin barrier then even an ultra-luxurious arsenal of skincare products will only take you so far in your skin journey. Which explains while this year my inbox has been full to the brim with press releases touting the importance of skin barrier care, new products with a focus on repair rather than exfoliation, and entirely new brands dedicated to the sole purpose of looking after our skin barrier.But while it might seem like every brand, skincare influencer and celeb are…

February 20, 2022 at 06:00AM I am so excited about spring/summer 2022’s fashion trends. The overarching mood was one of real optimism, but where the previous season perhaps went into overdrive with the desire (desperation?) to get dressed up for even the most low-key of weekly grocery shops, the outlook for spring and summer is that there is a time and place to be extra fabulous but still a strong demand and a necessity for easy, simple, luxurious, gorgeous clothes and outfits you can fling on in a hurry. There are places to go, people to see and the many ensembles to suit. So while on the one hand there’s a very clear shift towards revealing, ultra-sassy, cut-to-here-and-slashed-to-there kind of dressing, there’s also a very chic, understated antithesis at play. It speaks to a modern shopper’s whims and natural inclination to change one’s mind. Some days you might channel Rosie…
