Derms Always Recommend This Serum for Pigmentation, Dryness, Acne, and Wrinkles

November 14, 2021 at 06:30AM If having a glowing, youthful complexion with improved fine lines, reduced discolouration, and a smoother texture is way up there on your priority list, you’ve come to the right place. In case you didn’t know already, there’s a magical skincare ingredient out there that can do all that and then some. Seem too good to be true? According to dermatologists, it’s not. This otherworldly ingredient, otherwise known as glycolic acid, is a chemical exfoliant AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid) that works almost as well as getting a professional facial. “It’s a substance derived from sugar cane and is known for its exfoliating benefits,” explains Marisa Garshick, a board-certified dermatologist. “It helps to get rid of dead skin cells and therefore brightens the skin."  It also works even better when paired with certain other ingredients. "It can work well with niacinamide, which is soothing on the skin and…

The Big Designer Brands Bringing New Life to Old Clothes

November 14, 2021 at 06:00AM As Chanel’s glossy-haired models hit the S/S 22 runway, the soaring melody of George Michael’s “Freedom! ‘90” blasted out of the speakers, and the densely packed photographers that lined the runway snapped away. With big shoulder pads, glittering tweed and jewellery dripping in the brand’s interlocking-C insignia, it felt as though we had been transported back to one of Chanel’s iconic 1980s runway shows. “I used to love the sound of flashbulbs going off at the shows in the eighties, when the models were on a raised runway,” mused Chanel’s creative director, Virginie Viard, in the show notes. “I wanted to recapture that emotion.” The headline was clear: Nostalgia is big news. Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture S/S 02The world of luxury fashion is no stranger to vintage style. Historic fashion houses, such as Chanel, YSL and Dior, regularly dive into their own archives,…

Every Celebrity Picture I Look At Right Now Features This One Pair of Flat Shoes

November 14, 2021 at 06:00AM Loafers might not sound like the most exciting footwear choice, however over the past week I have noticed that they are not only the most popular shoe this winter, but they’re becoming a solid red carpet choice. Maybe it’s all that time out of heels, but the likes of Little Simz and Dakota Johnson are swapping stilettos for loafers. When it comes to the style, there are two camps here. Either celebrities are opting for a really chunky track sole, which helps to toughen up dainty or overly pretty looks. I’m also spotting lots of patent pairs with chain detailing across the foot. Of course you can’t talk about loafers without mentioning Gucci, and the likes of Dakota Johnson have been wearing the horsebit loafers in brown leather.Keep scrolling for the celebrity outfits we love below, and shop our…

And Just Like That… There Are a Lot More Carrie Outfits to Obsess Over

November 13, 2021 at 08:41AM I don’t know about you, but I spent last night watching the first episode of the new Gossip Girl reboot. Now, we have yet another revival to look forward to because the new Sex and the City show officially began filming in New York City. That’s right: Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte are back in action and wearing some very on-brand outfits for each of their characters. (Sadly, Samantha will not be part of the new spin-off, and her sassy ensembles and witty one-liners will be sorely missed.) Big has just made his first appearance, and it’s intriguing to see what Carrie wears alongside him, a feathered headpiece reminiscent of her wedding day? Hmm.Thanks to paparazzi images, we have the very first look at what the ladies are wearing in the show, which will be called And Just Like That…. Naturally, shoe-obsessed…

4 Mid-Length Styles That Make Thin Hair Look So Much Thicker

November 13, 2021 at 08:00AM Thin hair can be difficult to style. Trust me—I know. I’ve tried to make my naturally thin hair look thicker and fuller ever since I was in middle school and my mum let me get my hands on a hot tool. Since then, I’ve cycled through plenty of hairstyles, volumising products, and thickening techniques. Some have worked, but most haven’t. That’s okay. Somewhere along the way, I’ve learned to live and work with my naturally thin hair (sigh), and the style I choose to wear it in has a lot to do with that. For example, I’ve learned a slick-straight style doesn’t do my thin hair any favours, which is why I tend to go with tousled, textured waves instead. So yeah, I had my opinions on what hairstyles work best for my thin, medium-length hair, but I was wondering what experts…
