February 08, 2022 at 08:00AM From bakuchiol to CBD, 2021 has already seen it’s fair share of trending skincare ingredients, and I’ve tried them all. From overcoming my resistance to retinol to embracing a more pared-back approach to my skincare routine, I love experimenting to work out which ingredients are truly worth putting on my skin.There’s one key ingredient, however, that I’ve wholly neglected to sing the praises of this year. Despite using it every single day in my own routine, this ingredient has been somewhat overlooked in favour of the buzzy new launches that have been leading the way. Yet ask anyone with amazing skin which scientific ingredient it is that they swear by, and I guarantee it will be this one.The ingredient in question? Vitamin C. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C might not be anything new, but it’s certainly a bit of a wonder ingredient if you aren’t…

February 08, 2022 at 08:00AM We may have to wait a while longer before we can start donning the clothes spring/summer 2022 has to offer (that or risk freezing—winter has just begun after all), but there is one item from the runway that we can start adding to our wardrobes imminently: handbags. Ideal for impatient types, handbags are the easiest way to kick-start your new-season capsule. And seeing as bags were at the bottom of our shopping priorities at the start of 2021, due to the pandemic and spending time indoors, now’s the moment to make up for lost time.Luckily for said impatient types, we’ve discovered that many of the top handbag trends we spotted on the runway are already on the shopping circuit. What are these trends, we hear you ask? Well, they’re a versatile bunch.Texture remains a key accessory aesthetic, though the…

February 08, 2022 at 08:00AM While social media can be a hub for all things fashion and beauty, skincare is a topic that can get a little tricky, especially when certain products start to trend. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been guilty of succumbing to a viral product only to be disappointed when it didn’t exactly work for my skin. While following trends for clothes and makeup can be an easier feat, with skincare, it’s crucial to be cautious because what works for others may not work for you, and some products may seem like they’re working but can actually cause damage and irritation later on. It’s important to pay close attention to the ingredients before purchasing a product and to consult an expert if possible, especially if you’re facing specific skin concerns. Since I’ve been seeing quite a few products circulate around social media that have…

February 08, 2022 at 08:00AM Kendall Jenner, top model and Fwrd’s creative director, knows more about fashion trends than the average person. In fact, she’s responsible for setting many of them, so it was no surprise when she stepped out for an event (celebrating Fai Khadra’s collaboration with Oliver Peoples) earlier this week wearing one that’s going to be everywhere in 2022: a micro miniskirt.Back in October when the S/S 22 collections debuted, the super-short skirt trend heated up runways of Miu Miu, Missoni, Knwls, and Blumarine, to name a few. It’s the latest in a long string of revived Y2K trends, and Jenner’s take on it was especially polished. She paired a tiny leather skirt with a camel top and long-sleeve mock-neck, completing the look with a pair of knee boots. (If you’re not sure how to approach styling such a short skirt,…

February 08, 2022 at 08:00AM It’s no secret that the skin’s ageing process differs from person to person. While some people might start forming wrinkles in their late twenties, others might remain youthful and wrinkle-free until they hit 50. Skin ageing is a fact of life, and while genetics and lifestyle choices might delay the effects, at some point, it will catch up with you. And for most of us, this happens at some point in our forties. “Unless you’ve struggled with a specific skin condition like acne or psoriasis, during your twenties and thirties, you skin is likely to have been ticking along nicely, living off its own elasticity and hydration,” explains skincare specialist Jane Scrivner.So what exactly happens when we hit our forties? “It’s time to start replacing what your skin is losing during the ageing process. Your forties are the time to put…

February 08, 2022 at 08:00AM If you have fine hair, you’ve probably gone through your fair share of dry shampoo, fringes sticking to your face, and curls that fall out within minutes.
