Trust Us—This Moisturiser Is Basically Like Having 8 Hours of Sleep

September 17, 2021 at 03:36PM If there’s one thing that we could all be getting more of right now, it’s sleep. Sure, we all know the importance of clocking in those precious eight hours of rest each night for our overall health and wellbeing, but in practice, arriving at the land of nod isn’t always so easy. Between busy work schedules, the resurgence of socialising and balancing temporary home offices with partners, kids and needy pets, many of us are feeling too frazzled to wind down at the end of the day. And failure to switch off and rest means that our skin can be left paying the price. In fact, when talking to skin experts this year, one of the most recurring themes we’ve heard has been the increase in adults seeking help for skin sensitivity, acne and inflammation, all as a…

Texture Talk: Kaya Marriott On Her Natural Hair Journey and the Pinterest Collaboration That Followed

September 17, 2021 at 03:18PM Meet Kaya Marriott: The Canadian content creator, influencer, and blogger behind Comfy Girl with Curls. In 2016, she started a natural hair blog dedicated to sharing resources, tips, and tricks to make life with textured tresses a little easier. Earlier this month, Marriott was tapped by Pinterest to help launch the visual discovery platform’s latest natural hair search tool, which allows users to refine their hair inspiration searches by six different hair patterns: protective, coily, curly, wavy, straight, and shaved/bald. We caught up with the Vancouver native to chat with her about how she overcame her initial hesitation on wearing natural locks, the impact of being vulnerable on social media and the importance of representation online. Did you embrace your natural curls while growing up? I am very fortunate that I grew up with a mom who celebrated…

A Dermatologist Ranked the 3 Worst Body-Lotion Mistakes

September 17, 2021 at 08:00AM If there’s anything I’m very strict about when it comes to my beauty routine, it’s my body lotion. I might forget a step in my nighttime skincare routine, but I never forget to put body lotion on after I shower or in the mornings, even I don’t shower. For the most part, it’s paid off. Aside from the occasional eczema flare-up on my hands, arms, or neck, I have pretty smooth skin. But since I’m a curious person and like to question everything, I wanted to know if there were some things I was missing when it comes to body-lotion application. So I reached out to dermatologist Naissan O. Wesley, MD, FACMS, of Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills to get her tips and to see what role body lotions play in reducing premature ageing or the signs of ageing.…

3 French Haircuts That L.A. Girls Are Asking for Right Now

September 17, 2021 at 08:00AM After a long year of not getting my hair cut, I'm more excited than ever to get back into the salon. Admittedly, I’m not the adventurous type, so I’ll be resurrecting my grown-out bangs, but you’ve come to the right place if you’re itching to try something new. It’s a truth universally acknowledged that French girls are the epitome of style, so why not take a little inspiration from chic Parisians? To get the scoop on French haircuts that are popular with L.A. girls like me, I tapped David Pierre, founder and creative director of The Hair Atelier in West Hollywood, California. The French transplant is knowledgeable about hair trends on both sides of the Atlantic, so I knew he’d be the best stylist to ask. Scroll down to see his expert opinion. “Curtain bangs or any sort of fringe, in general, will automatically…

French Women Were Right All Along: This Is the Best Dress Trend Ever

September 17, 2021 at 08:00AM The knitted dress trend has come back in a seriously big way in 2021. You might not have realised this because in many ways it’s the kind of frock that never really goes out of fashion. However, there’s one key component of this year’s style that French women have been wearing forever. When it comes to knitted dresses in France, les françaises are more likely to opt for a fitted version. No saggy, loose-fitting sacks for our friends across the channel—thank you very much. Instead, it’s about considered knitwear that is more body-con and has some kind of structure. Case in point: Khaite’s chic black version which I spotted on Camille Charrière some time ago. The sweetheart neckline is what really makes this dress sing, but I love the demure nature of the long sleeves, too. This season, the brand has brought…

These Hairstyles Will Take Years Off Your Face

September 17, 2021 at 08:00AM I don’t know about you, but the past year has felt long. I’ve got more grey hair and more wrinkles, and despite going to bed earlier, I’m still tired. There’s no denying that I’ve felt like I’ve aged faster in lockdown. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with this (I have no issues with changing hair colour or a few lines on my face), the speed at which it has happened has been a little disconcerting. I want to feel like myself again, and for me, that means getting a haircut. Over the past few months, I’ve lost count of the number of people who have said their hair needs cutting, from my husband to my colleagues as well as my parents. The craving to get a chop has been strong. Personally, I’m desperate to get my hair cut back into a…
