SELF-TANNING TIPS 1. Exfoliate To create the perfect tan you need the perfect canvas, says Stacey. She uses the Three Warriors Tasmanian Sand Scrub and Exfoliating Glove to prep skin. Afterwards, always moisturise hands and feet before you tan to prevent uneven colouring on drier areas. 2. Set your tan Apply the tan, blend and then set using a fresh eco-friendly tanning mitt or a blending brush after application for a final blend and polish. Setting your tan will ensure that your tan is seamless from head to toe. 3. No soap Don’t use soap for the first wash after “marinating” time. Stacey says this will help with tan longevity. You shouldn’t shower for at least another 8 hours to allow the tan to fully develop. 4. Layering your tan…

Skincare brands have poured millions of dollars into research and development, employing highly skilled biochemists to create new products delivered in formulations designed to enhance both the function and appearance of the skin. The result is that today’s skincare lines contain a whole heap of goodies that can affect a real positive change in your skin, improving skin tone and texture and helping to plump out fine ines and wrinkles. Elite skincare formulations contain active ingredients, many of which work on a cellular level. Cell-communicating ingredients such as Vitamin A and peptides can penetrate to deeper evels and either enhance or help to inhibit natural activities. Research shows that benefits for the skin can be obtained from plant extracts and essential oils as well as vitamins, enzymes, phytochemicals and more.…

So which drinks are your skin’s worst enemy? We’re not suggesting that we all have to become teetotallers if we want good skin. We’re firm believers in having a good time and many of us can enjoy a drink without going overboard. But if you are worried about the effect alcohol is having on your skin, these are the top three drinks to avoid: THE MOJITO Sadly, the combination of sugar and alcohol found in most mojitos means they’re particularly bad for drinkers concerned about wrinkles. The disruptive duo leads to: systemic inflammation, which can lead to premature ageing; and also creates a spike in insulin levels, which can create that ‘morning after’ acne. RED WINE Red wine is one of the worst drinks for your skin and your face.…

Dewy, luminous skin is on many a Santa list this year. Looking natural is key to creating a luminous glow, but this can be harder to master than it sounds! Creating dewy skin is often best achieved with a combination of products, such as a serum or liquid illuminator mixed into foundation. Softly coloured cheeks are fundamental to this flushed and healthy look. The experts at Ciate recommend the “alphabet approach” to blush application: a W shape across your nose to give you a sun-kissed glow; an O shape directly on the apples of your cheeks to give an effortless blush; and a C shape starting at your brow and curving around your eye to give you a natural flush of colour that enhances the natural, no-makeup look. Opt for…

Current regulation of cosmetic surgery is multifaceted, involving multiple state, territory and national regulators. As cosmetic surgery is not recognised as a speciality in Australia, any medical practitioner, whether or not trained and competent in cosmetic Surgery, may legally call themselves a ‘cosmetic surgeon’. The report notes that universa minimum standards for education, training and qualifications in cosmetic surgery have been nonexistent in Australia. Consequently, cosmetic surgery is undertaken by doctors from various backgrounds with varying levels of training and competence, with a spectrum of outcomes for patients. ‘In this environment, consumers are largely left on their own when it comes to selecting a practitioner to perform cosmetic surgery, having to sift through a plethora of advertising and marketing material and try to make sense of numerous qualifications, in an…

Australian doctors have called on health ministers across the country to quickly detail and act on the proposed changes to the cosmetic surgery sector. Health Minister Mark Butler has announced that the law will be amended to ensure anyone performing a cosmetic procedure is properly qualified, with the proposed changes focusing on who can call themselves a surgeon and ensuring procedures are carried out in safe, hygienic and accredited facilities. Health Ministers agreed to implement the following reforms: • Preventing medical practitioners who are not qualified describing themselves as cosmetic ‘surgeons’ • Ensuring anyone conducting a cosmetic procedure has appropriate qualifications • Limiting surgery to properly accredited facilities with minimum hygiene and safety standards • Banning doctors using patient testimonials for cosmetic surgery including on social media • Better information…

REVIEW You no longer have to age the way your parents or grandparents did. You can age on your own terms, starting now. In our crazy, busy world, the struggle to look after yourself is real, let alone decipher what you really can do that will actually make a difference to the way you age. As women, the expectations are high and we are constantly bombarded with messages that we need to be all things to all people, including ourselves. We need to raise children who are healthy, well educated, kept off computer games and social media but entertained with wholesome play. Add to that maintaining a home, keeping on top of the bills and activities, and maintaining friendships and family relationships. Plus, we need to look great, exercise, sleep…

Beauty vlogs have become some of the most popular videos on YouTube over the past 10 years and we continuously see influencers and lifestyle gurus make the switch to vlogging across all their social media platforms. The key to the success of beauty vlogging lies visually in the aesthetics. While beauty and makeup are at the centre of the content, it’s also very important to make sure every aspect of your vlog is appealing to the viewer, whether it’s the editing, the onscreen text or even your background and setup. When it comes to creating beauty vlogs, the main thing to keep in mind is what your audience is interested in -and, generally speaking, it’s that final outcome that they’re really looking for. For example, what are they going to…

As the body’s largest organ and one of its most essential systems, the skin’s functions go far beyond the aesthetic. The skin regulates internal temperature; perceives external stimuli and transmits the information to the brain; protects from potentially harmful substances; and stores essential nutrients. Skin is comprised of three main layers epidermis, dermis and hypodermis - all of which vary significantly in their anatomy and function. EPIDERMIS The epidermis is the outer-most layer of the skin and continually renews and regenerates. Ultimately, all the cells in the epidermis originate from a single layer of basal cells in its basement membrane - these are called keratinocytes, which are stacked on top of each other to form several strata, melanocytes and dendritic cells. Keratinocytes develop in the basal layer and rise, losing…

Perfumes make meaningful gifts, symbolising love and affection and evoking shared memories. A beautiful fragrance is something everybody appreciates, regardless of gender, age or style, however it can be daunting finding the perfect fragrance match for your loved one. That’s why we consulted well-known fragrance guru Michael Marzano, head of training for Agence de Parfum and Libertine perfumeries (found in Myer, DJs and specialty stores). He has helped hundreds of anxious presentseekers to find the perfect fragrance and now trains all his staff to do the same thing. Michael’s first rule of thumb is to plan properly. Make a checklist so that the salesperson has as much information as possible to help you on your quest. Your checklist should include your budget and the would-be recipient’s age, as well as…

The good news? Your skin has the ability to regenerate itself and your body has an amazing rate of rehydration. But that regeneration depends on how much damage has been done. If you’ve been drinking for 15 years and decide to stop, it will definitely help your body going forwards, but your skin is not going to regenerate back to that of a nondrinker 15 years younger. The truth is that once you destroy collagen, it’s difficult to get back, but there are ways to minimise the damage. KNOW YOUR LIMITS How your body handles and processes alcohol changes as you age. An alcoholic drink leaves your body in about three hours when you’re 20; but by the time you hit 40 it takes 33 hours - which explains why…

“Tis the season to be merry and bright, so why not extend the sentiment to your makeup? Perfectly chiselled features, flawless skin and beyond-bold eyes are the name of this game. From intense and experimental makeup colours and textures, to dramatically long lashes and bright lips, a little drama never hurt anyone! Make your eyes pop with matte or shimmer shadows, depending on your mood and the occasion, adding a bold flick of eyeliner along the upper lash and a pair of false lashes. Ardell has relaunched the Magnetic Megahold false lash range - with an undetectable magnetic lash band that can be used with the brand’s magnetic eyeliner. Genius! Another way to rock the party look is to add a punch of colour. Instead of heavy eyeshadows, try adding…

In its Key Findings, the indepndent review declared bluntly that it has ‘highlighted unsafe practice, misleading advertising and substandard marketing across the cosmetic industry’. AHPRA chief executive Martin Fletcher pledged to act immediately, in partnership with the Medical Board of Australia. ‘I am appalled by the tragic stories of patients who were harmed by doctors taking advantage of them - the situation is totally unacceptable and must change,’ he said. ‘We want everyone who chooses to have cosmetic surgery to be better informed and protected. We want doctors who undertake cosmetic surgery to be trained to a safe standard. We want the public to feel confident they are going to be well looked after and, if things go wrong, that they will be supported and that their concerns will be…

Gender-fluid fashion is changing the way we represent ourselves, allowing our authentic selves to shine, to be bold and beautiful in all our uniqueness and to smash stereotypes. And nowhere are we seeing this more than on the digits of males in 2022. From celebrities including Harry Styles, Travis Barker and Machine Gun Kelly sporting fresh manis and coloured nails, there’s no doubt that men’s nail polish has taken off. And we’re here for it. ‘Men wearing nail polish has been around from ancient history all the way through to the 80s punk scene, but the trend has hit mainstream, with big pop stars and celebrities adorning their nails in shades that reflect their red carpet outfit or everyday look,’ says industry expert Mikele Simone. ‘As another form of self-expression,…

Even though vlogging is a primarily visua experience, sound plays an equally important role when elevating that consumer involvement. Bad sound quality will make your video really hard to watch and cause the audience to fee disconnected from what you are trying to showcase. One of the best features of the Nikon Z 30 is how lightweight the product is. When you’re jumping from product to product or running around on a busy schedule, you don’t want to be lugging heavy equipment! For quick and simple editing, I use iMovie, which is a free software on Mac, and incredibly easy to use. You are also able to transfer content straight from your Z 30 onto your laptop, and then onto your phone so you can edit on the go. For…

If the tale of Sleeping Beauty has taught us anything, it’s that beauty and sleep are like peas in a pod. And it’s not just a fairytale science says that while we sleep our body goes to work repairing and renewing damaged skin cells and making sure we wake up looking refreshed and beautiful. Our skin works all day to protect itself from damage, but while we’re sleeping it switches into ‘recovery mode’. This is when skin focuses on intense repair and regeneration (up to three times faster than during the day). Production of collagen is boosted, harmful free radicals are destroyed and cell damage is repaired. THE IMPORTANCE OF A TARGETED NIGHT SERUM You can maximise the overnight skin renewal process, when your skin is optimally ready and waiting…

FEATURE Most of us enjoy a drink, whether it’s celebrating with friends or unwinding after a long day at work. For many, a bottle of bubbly or a few drinks with friends is as much about symbolism and the ritual as it is about enjoying a tipple, which is why giving up the booze can be a challenge - even for those of us with impressive willpower. But as much as we may like a wine or two (or three…) on a Friday night, there are significant beauty reasons to lay off the booze on a more regular basis. So what is alcohol actually doing to your skin? The bad news is, it’s doing a lot of bad things. From permanent redness to premature wrinkles, the sobering fact is that…

This is our first full summer out and about since the pandemic. Many of us, myself included, have almost forgotten how to create a summer makeup look — we spent so much time in masks so we didn’t bother! I spoke with Gemma Rogers, Estee Lauder National Education Manager, for summer makeup tips to help get us back on track. WILL WE BE SEEING MADE-UP GLAM OR NATURAL, ALL-OVER GLOW THIS SUMMER? Makeup this summer will look clean, natural and glowing to match the more relaxed vibe of an Australian summer. It’s low effort but high impact - think smudgy eyeliner, flushed cheeks and high shine lips. A lot of the sheer, natural textures are easy to apply with your fingers. SHOULD WE BE FOCUSING ON OUR LIPS MORE? Lips…

The review, which follows a six-month examination of the regulation of the sector including through a public consultation, makes 16 recommendations to improve patient safety in the sector. AHRPRA and the Medical Board have accepted all 16 recommendations. In a bid to improve patient safety, and address reports of unhygienic surgical practises, the use of social media testimonials and misleading before and after photos and unsafe surgical procedures, the recommendations include: • establishing an ‘endorsement’ model for cosmetic surgeons to establish expectations about minimum qualifications • a public education campaign to assist consumers to understand an endorsement • a confidential cosmetic surgery hotline • a complaints committee • revising Advertising Guidelines.…

1 In the summer we punish our hair, exposoing it to sun, chlorine and salty sea water, all of which are abrasive on the hair. Protective and hydrating hair products are essential. As they say, prevention is better than cure! 2 Curly hair is more affected because its biological makeup starts off less hydrated than straight hair. Moisture-enhancing products ike Aveda’s Be Curly Curl Enhancer and Nutriplenish Curl Gelee, as well as masks and daily protection, are a must for curly hair. And remember, curly hair needs less shampooing than straight hair. 3 Step up your treatment regime, especially if you colour your hair. Blondes can try Aveda Blonde Revival. The Aveda Botanical Repair Intensive Strengthening Mask in light and deep work on all hair types as well as coloured…
