CosBeauty Magazine #94

From the

EDITOR

Spring has always been a time of hope and this year, after many experiencing

lockdown and isolation, this sentiment feels especially true. As restrictions have

eased, life is gradually returning to some kind of normal. But while some things

remain the same, lockdown has irrevocably changed many aspects of our lives, and

this includes our beauty and skincare rituals and how we view ourselves – literally.

For most of 2021, video calls replaced in-person interactions and with this came increased

scrutiny of our physical appearance. A recent survey (page 94) of Australians reveals that

we have become more critical of our appearance in the past 12 months due to digital

interactions, and it’s not hard to imagine this is happening globally. In addition to looking

‘tired’, ‘drawn’ and ‘older’, the study shows that, thanks to camera angles prompting a new

perspective, we’re also focused on our double chins, drooping jowls and less-than-chiseled

jawlines. So if you’re one of the 48% who are planning to have some ‘tweakments’, our

2022 guide to the most popular face treatments on page 98 – from anti-wrinkle injections to

thread lifts – will help you navigate your options.

Beauty as self-care has had a huge moment throughout the pandemic, and it’s not going

anywhere. A simple beauty and skincare routine are tangible acts of self-care that can help

reduce stress and lift us out of a funk. With the mercury rising, on page 40 we speak with

dermatologist Dr Bercu Kim on how to prep our skin and update our skincare ‘wardrobe’

for summer.

We’re also gearing up for the festive season (remember parties?!). On page 70 we have all

the gadgets and gizmos to style your hair like a pro, and on page 62 we chat with L’Oreal

Paris celebrity MUA Chantelle Baker who shares her go-to makeup tips and tricks to put

your best face forward (and we share our favourite products to achieve it!). We also deep-dive

into the fascinating world of celebrity beauty brands (page 24) and whether they really live

up to the hype.

Now that international borders are opening up for many of us, it’s time to tick off some

bucket list items. On page 104 we set the scene for your next overseas vacay – using Conde

Naste Traveller’s top wellness destination resorts of 2021 as inspiration. Enjoy!
