When you look in the mirror, do you notice a difference between the skin on your face and that on your neck? Well, you’re not alone.

“My patients are often concerned about the neck and décolletage ‘revealing their age’ after years of taking care of their face, but neglecting the neck,” says medical aesthetic specialist Dr. Wassim Taktouk.

Even if you are diligent with skincare, there are other factors that affect the skin below our jawlines.

Kim Kardashian West has had a seasonal hair switch-up, with her new hue being unveiled by celebrity hair stylist Chris Appleton on Instagram.

The A-list hair guru captioned the photo of his famous client: “Autumn hair colour Cool Chocolate brown” – adding an emoji of autumn leaves for good measure.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is the philanthropic annual event where brands unveil a parade of pink products in aid of breast cancer charities.

But it’s not just about raising money. This year, the aim is to get women talking about breast checking and make them more knowledgeable about the signs and symptoms of the disease, which affects one in eight women in their lifetime.

With dewy skin so in demand, is it any wonder gel textured products are blowing up in the beauty industry? We think not.

For those in search of a plump, healthy-looking complexion, jelly-like cleansers and colour cosmetics are quickly replacing mattifying formulas and powder products.

Part of the continuing ‘no make-up make-up’ trend, increasingly people don’t want to mask their skin with a heavy layer of foundation, they’re happy to spend more time (and money) on their skincare instead, creating a base that doesn’t need concealing.

The change of seasons makes us crave all sorts of things; we pull on woolly jumpers instead of floaty dresses, warming soups win out over salads, and staying in becomes a lot more appealing than going out.

Plus, with the arrival of crisp, cool mornings and crunchy leaves underfoot, suddenly our summer scents don’t feel quite right.

An autumnal aroma is needed to go with our cold-weather clothing, but that’s not hard to find, with so many fitting fragrance launches at this time of year.

Are you an evening shower fan? Or do you prefer to lather up first thing in the morning?

If you said the latter, I’m afraid we’ve got some bad news for you. According to Swedish beauty brand Foreo, if you want to keep your skin in tip-top condition, it’s advisable to shower at night rather than when you get out of bed first thing.

As a beauty writer, I receive a lot of products for review, and while I couldn’t possibly take everything home to try – my house would look like a branch of Boots if I did – there’s one thing I always make space for when they land on my desk, and that’s sleep masks.

Honestly, I’m addicted – but it’s all my own fault. A few years ago I was given a copper-infused mask that’s said to reduce wrinkles (more on that later) and after trying it in the name of ageing prevention, I’m now dependent on total darkness in order to ease my passage to the land of nod.

Unless you’re a member of Gen Z and have been raised on YouTube beauty tutorials, creating the perfect eye make-up look is tricky. For most of us, a black cat-eye is our go-to, but London Fashion Week provides ample inspiration for mixing up your beauty look.

Designer Richard Quinn is known for his avant-garde florals, and he needs a colourful beauty look to match. Enter make-up guru Miranda Joyce, who has the perfect solution to cat-eye fatigue: Electric blue eyes.

It might be called ‘London Fashion Week’, but in reality, the fashion is only half of it.

Huge amounts of thought and effort are also put into the beauty looks of every runway show, and rightfully so – an elaborate outfit would look unfinished with nothing on your face.

Regardless whether it’s a bold, geometric look or more of a ‘no make-up make-up’ vibe, a lot of backstage work goes into what the models look like; beauty decisions can make or break a show.

Are you scared of black lipstick? Do you think that if you painted your pout with a jet black hue you’d look like a Halloween reject or Addams Family wannabe? Well, we’ve got news for you.

According to MAC make-up artist Terry Barber, black lipstick can work for everyone, you just need to know how to wear it.
