From the Editor

The beauty industry is rebounding and in-person events are well and truly back – we’ve been showered with a slew of new product launches that are reinventing skincare as we know it. In this issue we look at some of the freshest new products to grace your bathroom shelves and makeup bags, so turn to our Beauty Insider on page 12 to get started.

We also do a deep dive into the various serums on the market on page 34. Find out how they work and which active ingredients are best for pigmentation, acne, dry skin and ageing skin, plus more!

Looking for a solution to blemish-prone skin? Move over hormones, diet and stress – it appears air pollution is one of the most common causes of adult acne. Our article on page 56 shares how to help protect skin from pollution damage and keep blemishes at bay.

As the weather gets cooler and our winter wardrobes come out of hiding, it’s the perfect time to experiment with this season’s 90s-throwback makeup trends. From brick-brown lips to russet eyeshadows, this iconic glam look is actually more wearable than you might think! Check out our feature on page 96 for some of our favourite products to achieve the 90s cool.

We also investigate the breast augmentation mammoplasty procedure, also known as a ‘boob job’. Far from being a one-size-fits-all procedure, there are a myriad of decisions to make and considerations to be mindful of before you take the plunge. Our guide to breast augmentation on 86 has you covered. Want even more? Our sister site www.AestheticAdvisor.com.au has everything you need to learn the ins and outs of all the most popular cosmetic procedures.

We hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it for you. Enjoy a beautiful winter!
