INSIDER TIP THE ‘THIN TO THICK’ LAYERING RULE Generally speaking, your products should be layered applied from thinnest to thickest in terms of texture. Start light with essences and serums, and finish with occlusive moisturisers and oils. So the correct order would be: (cleanser) toner essence serum – if you use multiple, apply thinnest first. If applying Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid (a classic complementing duo), it’s best to allow your Vitamin C to absorb first before your HA. If you use retinol in your nightly routine (you should be), some experts recommend applying this before any other serum or moisturiser to help enhance its benefits. cream oil sunscreen – this most important step should always be last in your morning skincare routine. STEP 1 Cleansers ALWAYS THE ESSENTIAL FIRST…

FOUNDER OF SCALP CONFIDENTIAL, UK WHAT ROLE DOES THE HAIR FOLLICLE PLAY IN HAIR THINNING? From the moment we are born, our hair follicles undergo a repetitive sequence of growth and rest. This hair cycle consists of the relatively well-known anagen, catagen and telogen phases, plus an additional exogen phase. The anagen phase typically lasts 3 to 7 years on average. Approximately 80 to 90% of the hair follicles should be in this growing phase at any one time in a healthy head of hair. There are many often-complex reasons this cycle is either disrupted or impaired. Factors such as genes, hormones, stress, medication, diet, malnutrition, underlying health conditions such as a thyroid issue or anaemia, the use of styling chemicals, direct heat and general hair products can all affect…

Results from the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), the world’s largest association of facial plastic surgeons, 2021 member survey saw catapulting demand for facial plastic surgery and aesthetic procedures as in-person events and face-to-face socialisation resumed, despite lingering pandemic concerns. A staggering 83 percent of AAFPRS members say 75 percent or more of their work is facial plastic surgery, up from 75 percent of surgeons reporting on the trend in 2020. The central thread of the results intimates that after two years of cancelled plans and over-analysing their faces on ZOOM, people are ready to invest in self-improvement, regain confidence and shake off the sense of languishing dread that has dominated the collective consciousness throughout the pandemic. ‘After lockdowns ended and vaccinations rolled out, our patients…

Right now there are millions and trillions of bacteria, fungi and viruses living inside your intestines. Sounds gross, but these little guys are pretty important and they have powerful benefits for almost every aspect of your health. Your gut can effectively change your life. There’s no denying that gut health is one of the hottest topics in health and wellbeing today. And for good reason. While it may be one of most unglamorous organs, the gut can have a profound effect on your overall physical and mental health and wellbeing. Attention has recently been turned to the links between the microbes that live in your gut and your health – including their influence on our weight and our immune system and how what we eat can encourage a healthy diverse…

Synonymous with ritualism and spirituality, the use of sandalwood in incense has been part of life since ancient times due to its striking, natural and long-lasting fragrance. Sandalwood is a preferred material in incense during meditation and rituals as it’s known to calm the mind while still allowing the person to remain alert. For those who favour its mythical and therapeutic qualities, the spiritual significance takes shape as the burning represents the incineration of negativity to reveal the pure self. Given the scarcity of certain precious natural ingredients – including Indian sandalwood which was included on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s vulnerable species list in 1998 due to illegal poaching and harvesting – looking for alternative ways to maximise use of materials and repurpose or reduce waste has…

Work it Like most worthy things in life, having just-walked-out-of-a-salon hair is about the prep work. Start with washing your hair with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner. Before blowdrying, apply a leave-in treatment to add moisture to your hair. Always apply a heat protectant before letting your precious strands get near a heat styler and finish off your look with a shine spray for that added glam factor. And if you don’t already sleep on a silk pillowcase, here’s another reason to make the switch: in addition to helping prevent skin creases, a silk pillowcase can help hair retain moisture and reduce the frizzies. Brush up on your basics A good-quality brush is as essential as shampoo and conditioner. Brushing your hair helps activate healthy blood circulation and stimulate hair growth. It…

My own introduction to Guerlain started when I was 4 years old. I had gone with my mother to visit the former family home and, in my late grandmother’s bedroom, we were greeted by the most beautiful smell. It was Guerlain’s Jicky, the only perfume my grandmother ever wore. This was my first experience with the power of perfume and its ability to keep a loved one alive forever – as well as my first experience with the great house of Guerlain. Years later, I was lucky enough to meet Jean Paul Guerlain and find out first-hand about this great beauty house. Guerlain started in 1828 under Pierre Francois Pascal Guerlain, a chemist, doctor and master perfumer, and continued with the family for 5 generations until 1994 when it was…

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME AN AESTHETIC PHYSICIAN? My inspiration to become an aesthetic physician started many years ago when I was working solely in general practice. I had always been intrigued by the aesthetic medicine arena, having had laser treatments and other cosmetic procedures done previously. This fuelled my desire to know more about this field of medicine. My strong appreciation for art, coupled with my passion for ongoing learning, drove me to continue studying and undertake my fellowships. Aesthetic medicine has proven to be an amazing combination of science and artistry, and I haven’t looked back since. Each day brings a new experience, which is what I love. The aesthetic field can be a problem solver to a variety of disorders and conditions. I am fascinated at how…

According to AAFPRS members, the total number of surgical and non-surgical facial plastic surgery treatments is up dramatically. An estimated 1.4 million surgical and non-surgical procedures were performed in the US in the past year, with plastic surgeons performing an average of 600 more procedures than they did in 2020, a 40 percent increase. Furthermore, 83 percent of AAFPRS surgeons saw an increase in bookings over the course of the last year (up from 70 percent from 2020). Surgical procedures (rhinoplasty, facelift, blepharoplasty) are the most common procedures as part of this upsurge, but the demand for non-surgical treatments grew as well.…

Increasing research has revealed the previously mysterious world of the gut and the 1-2 kilograms of microbes that live in there, which form each person’s unique microbiome. A microbiome is the genetic ecosystem of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other organisms that lives inside and on our bodies from birth. Our gut (and microbiome) is connected to the brain, via over 100 million neurons spread all the way from our throat to our rectum. Interestingly, our brain isn’t the only organ in control of emotions – 95 percent of serotonin, the body’s happy hormone – is created in the gut. This has led researchers to increasingly find links between our gut microbiome and things like our mood and food cravings, potentially revealing massive changes to how we approach treatment for depression…

To many, the lips are the focal point of the face. They are highly suggestive, and their shape and look will speak volumes about you before you have even uttered a word. There have been numerous studies on the influence of lips on our culture, their social psychology, sexuality and position as a fashion accessory. In this brief timeline, we take a look at the way lip fashions evolved throughout the decades and the directions they are taking in the current day. 1920s, 30s & 40s As the film industry began to blossom in the 1920s, actress Theda Bara popularised the doll-like shape and vampy lip colour of the time. ‘Rosebud lips’ of deep red were fashionable and popularised by pin-ups such as Gloria Swanson and Clara Bow. In the…

The Aesthetic Society (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) has also released its annual statistics. The data demonstrates a significant increase for face, breast and body procedures. Overall, aesthetic body procedures, including abdominoplasty, buttock augmentation and liposuction, increased by 63% since 2020. Breast procedures such as breast augmentation, augmentation/ breast lift and breast lift/reductions were up 48%, and face procedures including brow lifts and face lifts increased 54% last year. The data illustrates a possible effect of life amid the global pandemic, with many Aesthetic Society members attributing the ubiquity of video meetings and more downtime to patients undergoing more surgical face and body procedures. KEY FINDINGS OF THE 2021 AESTHETIC PLASTIC SURGERY STATISTICS Surgical procedures increased 54% and non-surgical was up 44%. THE AVERAGE PLASTIC SURGEON PERFORMED 320 SURGICAL…
