Welcome to the spring edition of CosBeauty Magazine. With the onset of warmer weather, this time of year represents fresh starts, new beginnings and a sense of unlimited possibility. Extended evenings make spring the perfect time for setting new goals, particularly those pertaining to our health.

Wellness has always been a key focus for CosBeauty Magazine and this issue is no exception. We talk to fitness influencer Lauren Hannaford about maintaining motivation and adopting a new approach to fitness (page 106). For Lauren, a recent competitor on Australian Ninja Warrior, working out is not just a way to lose weight, it’s about that post-workout rush of endorphins and feeling good.

For those seeking a more calming health boost, Australian sleep scientist Dr Carmel Harrington eases us into the land of nod with her guide to sleep management (page 62). And on page 86, we look at some simple ways to reduce the impact of alcohol on our bodies and our skin.

In terms of skincare and rejuvenation, this issue is all about making the most of more mature complexions. On page 74, we reveal 40 anti-ageing products for the over 40s. We acknowledge that sometimes something more is required, so on page 52 we review the top six surgical procedures for ageing faces.

The holiday season will be here before we know it and our travel guide is a seven day fly-drive trip to Tasmania, a true eco wonderland (page 92). From page 16, we feature all the holiday beauty essentials you’ll need for resort holidays, backpacking trips, glamping adventures and party island escapes.

We’ve got you covered!

As the Internet has changed the way we access news and information, this issue of CosBeauty is the last hardcopy edition to be published. In the future we will be concentrating our efforts on our digital offerings, so see you online at www.cosbeauty.com.au and through our social media accounts, @cosbeauty on Instagram and Facebook. It’s been a blast!
