There’s a moment in our 30s and 40s where something shifts.
We’re working mornings, nights, weekends. We’re travelling more than we rest. We’re doing our skincare routines at airport sinks, or forgetting them completely. And then one day, under a bathroom light or a front-facing camera, we notice it: things have changed.

Not in a bad way — just in a way we didn’t get the memo for.

So we start scrolling. We screenshot. We save. We fall into rabbit holes of skincare jargon and aesthetic trends that promise everything, everywhere, all at once. It’s overwhelming to figure out what actually works, what’s safe, and what’s right for our face.

This guide is not medical advice.
It’s not a prescription.
It’s a starting point — editorial direction for the woman who wants to refresh, not reinvent.

If something speaks to you, book a consultation with a licensed medical professional and get advice tailored to your skin. These are the treatments currently trending for good reason: they’re subtle, strategic, and focused on making you look like you, but rested.

  1. Polynucleotide “Salmon” Under-Eye Injections

Best for: tired eyes, crepey texture, early fine lines
Why it’s trending: Supports regeneration + elasticity. Results look like sleep, not filler.

Energy: “I finally had a week off.”
Ask your practitioner about: PN/PN-H (polynucleotide) formulas

  1. Skin Booster Hydration (Profilo / Hyaluronic Boosters)

Best for: dullness, loss of bounce, dryness
Why it’s trending: Micro-droplet hydration that lives inside the skin, not on top of it.

Energy: “My skincare routine is finally paying off.”
Ask your practitioner about: hyaluronic booster protocols for your age

  1. Microneedling + Exosomes

Best for: texture, scars, pores, overall tone
Why it’s trending: boosts natural repair and glow; great for people not ready for injectables.

Energy: “New skin loading…”
Ask your practitioner about: series vs. one-off sessions

  1. IPL / BBL Photofacial

Best for: pigmentation, sun damage, redness
Why it’s trending: evens tone + brightens without fillers; works well for women who spend time outdoors or travel a lot.

Energy: “My foundation just sits better now.”
Ask your practitioner about: downtime + suitability for your skin tone (important!)

  1. HydraFacial + Lymphatic Drainage

Best for: instant glow, puffiness, event prep, jet lag
Why it’s trending: non-invasive, high payoff, makes makeup apply like silk.

Energy: “Yes, I slept. No, I didn’t.”
Ask your practitioner about: lymphatic add-ons for jawline + cheekbone definition

How to Start Without Losing Your Mind

Don’t book everything at once

Start with hydration or texture before volume

Ask questions, not for “what she had”

Your face is not a trend — your treatment plan shouldn’t be either

If You’re Curious, You’re Not Alone

If you’re curious about skin treatments and wondering what will actually work for you, you’re in the right place. Our editors will be testing some of these treatments throughout 2026 — documenting the process, the downtime, the results (and the regrets), with honest diary experiences.

As the holiday season approaches, beauty advent calendars are taking the spotlight, providing a luxurious and exciting way to countdown to Christmas. While it may seem early to start planning, the reality is that these luxurious calendars tend to sell out fast, and savvy beauty enthusiasts know that securing theirs in advance is key. Treating yourself to a beauty advent calendar not only adds a touch of indulgence to the holidays but also offers a perfect opportunity to explore new products without committing to full sizes. Here’s why you should consider getting yours early, and a curated list of must-have advent calendars for 2024.

Why It’s Not Too Early to Start Planning

Beauty advent calendars have grown in popularity over the years, becoming one of the most anticipated releases each holiday season.

The excitement around these calendars isn’t just due to the luxury products they contain—many offer incredible value for money, bundling full-size and deluxe miniatures for a fraction of their usual retail price. But with this high demand comes the inevitable: they sell out fast.

Brands often release limited quantities, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Getting your advent calendar early not only ensures that you’ll secure your favorite picks but also gives you the chance to treat yourself to a daily beauty surprise all through December.

]]> Paris Fashion Week isn’t just about the fashion, and we’re loving the hot new makeup looks straight from the city of love. From deep outlined lips to dewy glowing skin, classy and daring faces are certainly on the menu… but where do you start? With so many products available and a sea of inspiration, we’re here to dive into the colours, formulas, and techniques to show you how you can look fresh off the runway this season.

Cardi B

Make your lips the centre of attention in a look that is bold and bossy. A flawless, natural base gives way to the dramatic lip line in a deep, striking black completed with natural lip colour is the perfect way to marry the weird and wonderful. If you’re looking for an accessible but professional looking style that is sure to turn heads this autumn, this is the look for you.

Kylie Jenner

Queen of makeup, Kylie, was seen embracing classic and sophisticated Parisian style in her makeup look for the Schiaparelli show. Seen with flawless matte base matched with a cool toned, natural eye and perfectly rosy cheeks, but what we’re loving is her million-dollar lips, coated in a glossy, glass like pink shade to contrast the matte look. Another take-away from this look is the deeper lipliner which seems to be the trend of the season!

Mae Tan

The gorgeous Mae showed her sophisticated side
in Paris this week, bringing a cat eye to the
catwalk done with expert precision using a pencil
to achieve a slightly softer, blurred effect.
Drawing the eye outward with a parallel waterline
flick created an elongated effect and with
prominent eyelashes, a Tim Burton-esque vibe is
achieved, the perfect deep look for autumn.
Natural, fluffy eyebrows in a cool, lighter shade
complement the look by playing a submissive role, not drawing attention from the dramatic eye. A deep brown lip is making us swoon and the blurred lip line, having the appearance of just being kissed, is a soft but daring touch.

Normani

Receiving the Alexander Echeverri treatment in Paris this week, the gorgeous Normani is bringing smoky back in expert cool toned, matte eye look. In a new highlight technique for autumn, precision takes new meaning in the simple yet jaw dropping highlight along her nose which isn’t seen on the cheekbones, a usual highlight staple, with the rest of the complexion being matte and natural. The lip look of the season is seen tying the face together with deep brown liner encasing natural pink lips.

Gabbriette

Grunge queen Gabbriette has been channelling Y2K in this subtle yet nostalgic look. Her thin brows are the centre of attention, minimally filled and accentuated with a pop of slightly shimmery highlighter around the brow bone. With little bronzer and blush in the look, the complexion is heavily dependent on a good quality, skin like foundation and concealer to emulate the natural skin while giving a sheer, luminous coverage. The perfect nude pink has also been used to enhance her natural pigment, but not overwhelm the look.

https://www.yslbeauty.co.uk/Touche-Éclat/141YSL.html

Gabbriette’s dark look

In a more dramatic variant of Gabbriette’s
flawless base, she explores how a bold smoky eye
is the perfect homage to Parisian fashion,
producing an air of sophistication around an
edgy, grunge look. The charcoal lid shade
features some prominent blue undertones and is
bluntly dragged across the lid and town to the tear
duct. Softening the look and producing the
smoky, blurred effect is a complementary brown
shade, seen lifting the colour into a slight cat-eye,
and lining the waterline, surrounding the eye. Matched with a cool toned pink lip gloss, we’re loving the Y2K vibe.

Brenda

For the Dior show at Paris this week, the iconic
Brenda was seen in a natural ‘woke up like this’
complexion with a gorgeous berry lip. The low-
coverage foundation gave her an airbrushed look
while remaining light and almost transparent on the
skin, acting as a subtle colour corrector on her
porcelain skin. The slightly pink shade around the
eyes, particularly on the water line, ties in with the
berry lip to give the look a sense of ‘completeness’
as the berry shade appears at the top and bottom of
the face creating a sense of unity. Complete with her full, fluff brows, we’re loving how she’s embracing her freckles and showing the world you don’t need layers of high coverage, removing uniqueness, to be beautiful.

https://uk.glossier.com/products/perfecting-skin- tint?variant=41611457167407

Jordan Grant

Spotted in Paris embracing a blue eye shadow with a modern twist is Jordan at the Balmain show. The sheer blue with slight shimmer on the eye brings a pop of colour to her deep brown eyes, and a perfectly sculpted brow sits strongly above to combine the neat and playful. The look further embraces a dewy, lustrous glow in the cheeks, using pink highlight, and lips, using a natural pink gloss, to encapsulate a Y2K shine, contrasting a contemporary strong brow which we’re loving for autumn.

Jourdan Dunn

Undergoing a gorgeous Sophia Sinot makeover is
model Jourdan Dun for the Balmain show at Paris
Fashion Week. In completely flawless beat, we’re
stunned by the creaseless blending of the base which
seamlessly blends into eyeshadow. The lighter toned
concealer adds a natural highlight to the face, namely
undereye, chin, and nose, without an overpowering
shimmer. The sharp eyeliner has been buffed with
eyeshadow into a smoky effect towards the outer crease to create a blurred cat eye, and the tight liquid line defines the eye with expert precision, and an extremely steady hand! The lip, as we’ve seen a lot this season, utilises a dark liner around a natural shade and that glass-like gloss gives the perfect shine.

Just as we swap out our winter wardrobes for lighter clothes, it is necessary to do the same with skincare. Our skin does not require as much hydration as it did in the winter. This is because our skin can hold a lot more water in warmer weather. These are the essential changes to make for the spring.

]]> With spring rapidly approaching, it’s time to ditch the heavy winter skincare routines for something a little more lightweight. Just as we swap out our winter wardrobes for lighter clothes, it is necessary to do the same with skincare. Our skin does not require as much hydration as it did in the winter. This is because our skin can hold a lot more water in warmer weather. These are the essential changes to make for the spring.

Exfoliate

To achieve an incredible spring glow, begin by exfoliating. The Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment is a chemical and physical exfoliant that dissolves any dead skin cells. Following the winter, there is likely a build-up of dead skin cells on the skin after layering on products. Therefore, exfoliating is vital to create a beaming, spring glow. The ExfoliKate works to create a radiant, softer complexion while supporting the skin’s natural defences. It is widely known as ‘The
Hollywood 2-minute facial’ due to its powerful results.


Cleanse

Spring is an opportunity to switch up your cleanser and give your skin a new breath of life. Due to the weather in spring, the skin produces more oil naturally. Therefore, the skin doesn’t need too much extra help with boosting hydration. A gel-based cleanser, such as Glossier’s Milky Jelly Cleanser, is ideal as it will remove all the dirt without adding excess oils. This cleanser is effective and nourishing which is just what the skin needs after the winter months.

Hydrate

After a deep cleanse, it’s time to moisturise and hydrate the skin with a water-based moisturiser. Water-based moisturisers are beneficial as water doesn’t stick to the skin so, therefore, prevents any blocking of the pores. The Paula’s Choice WaterInfusing Electrolyte Moisturiser is an option when achieving the spring skin glow as this moisturiser is weightless and leaves the skin instantly plumped. Skin can often come out of the winter looking dull. However, this moisturiser stops this by recharging and maintaining natural moisture balance.


Protect

As we head into spring and the days become warm, SPF becomes even more crucial to your skincare routine. SPF protects the skin from UV rays that can make skin dull and uneven. The highly-rated La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light invisible Fluid SPF50+ creates a powerful barrier, protecting the skin from UV rays. Its undetectable lightweight consistency means your skin isn’t left feeling greasy. It
also works well underneath makeup as it is invisible.

Treat

Finish off with the revolutionary DR Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Colour correcting treatment that has taken social media by storm. This transformational product covers any redness or discolouration while restoring the skin’s strength. Just as this treatment couldn’t get any better, it’s packed with chlorophyll which creates a barrier that fights breakouts. Don’t be alarmed by its bright green colour as the treatment swiftly transforms into a skin tone, creating a neutralised base. Following this new skincare routine will help you to attain a healthy spring glow in no time.
