From the Editor

Welcome to our 97th issue of CosBeauty Magazine! As we patiently wait for warmer weather and longer days, now’s the time to get a head start on looking and feeling our best for the start of spring – and this issue is full of fresh ideas to help you achieve this.

Kick off your spring metamorphosis with some of the season’s exceptional new beauty releases (Tried, Tested & Loved on p68 and Ed’s Faves on p114) and get to know the DIY tools and products for fabulous, just-walked-out-of-a-salon hair (Mane Attraction, p104).

In our Back to Basics Skincare feature, p40, you’ll find a handy guide to what, and when, to use on your skin to help it look brighter, younger and feeling flawless. And on p76 we highlight hyaluronic acid, one of the hardest-working and most versatile skincare ingredients.

Clear and radiant skin is, of course, attributed to more than just good-quality topical ingredients. Gut health and the gut microbiome is a growing area of research and has to been linked to all matters of health, including the skin and brain. Our article on page 94 investigates the role the gut plays in overall physical and mental health, and what we age can do to keep it healthy.

We know that cosmetic surgery has the power to transform appearances, often hand-in-hand with an improvement in self-confidence, and it seems the juggernaut that is aesthetic medicine just keeps growing. Read our report on p88 on which procedures have skyrocketed during the pandemic. We also have an in-depth guide to rhinoplasty on p82, including what happens during surgery, what it can achieve and non-surgical options.

And for a bit of fun, we look at lip “fashion” throughout the decades and how our pouts have long represented the social and political climates of the time (p28).

We hope you enjoy this issue of CosBeauty Magazine and find inspiration to add to the beauty in your life. And don’t forget to visit our website www.cosbeauty.com.au to stay on top of what’s happening in the beauty and wellness industries.
