stylist advertorial The Power of three Building a hardworking skincare routine needn’t feel like hard work – just follow these three fundamentals We’re about to let you in on a little secret: skincare isn’t complicated. In fact, the best routines – the kind recommended by dermatologists – are those that focus on just three ingredients: hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and retinol. It’s what we like to call the holy trinity of skincare… 1. The hydration powerhouse Healthy skin is hydrated skin, which is why a hyaluronic acid serum is the cornerstone of any skincare routine. This clever molecule has special humectant qualities, meaning it attracts water to the surface layers of skin, effectively plumping the complexion while simultaneously topping up moisture reserves. A blend of hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide,…

the great unknown WTF Happens next? We don’t know, but we’re all in it together Feeling confused, worried, jumpy about the future? As we continue heading into uncharted waters, Stylist explores how we can learn to live – and thrive – in a post-planning world Words: francesca brown It’s been exactly six months since the country locked down and our lives were radically upended – and as we enter autumn, things still seem pretty much in flux. Right now, and for the remainder of 2020, the question ‘Where do you see yourself in six months’ time?’ is void, because no one – not even the experts – seems to know where we’re headed. “Since lockdown became less restricted, I started feeling more positive thanks to having more routine,” says Paula…

stylist advertorial The power of dressing well Yes, fashion is a form of self-expression, but it can also help promote a positive headspace… We all have that one piece of clothing that makes us feel invincible. From a battered trophy band T-shirt to the sequin dress that never fails to turn heads, we form deep relationships with our clothes and how we wear them. However, we think it’s fair to say that this year has not only changed how we dress, but how we feel about clothes in general. This new approach to how we dress in the wake of lockdown is something that fashion brand Tu is now championing, as our clothes have arguably become more attached to our overall sense of wellbeing. We’ve all seen how, in the…

rose leslie “I realised how wired I had become” Like most of us, lockdown forced Rose Leslie into a period of reflection. Ahead of her new Agatha Christie adaptation, the actor shares what she learned with Stylist Words: helen bownassphotography: DAVID ROEMER “If I come across a lake or stream I’m always drawn to jumping in and immersing myself in the cold water; it’s a thrill.” Rose Leslie is telling Stylist about her love of cold water swimming, which she braves, without a wetsuit, year-round. It’s one of the reasons she’s excited about returning to Glasgow next week to resume filming new BBC drama Vigil (which was paused for – well, you know why: the c-word), a police thriller by the creators of Bodyguard, likely to air in 2021. Leslie…

stylist advertorial Making the hostof autumn As the nights draw in, our attention turns to cosying up at home and inviting friends over (lockdown allowing). Here’s how to update your entertaining for 2020… Autumn is here (hello, lovely golden leaves and an excuse to wear layers again), and with the change of the seasons there’s something decidedly soothing about cosying up at home and inviting friends for dinner again – in line with socialising guidelines, of course.

Adding something special to the occasion couldn’t be easier, given the rise…

beauty Can You spot the fake? With sales of counterfeit cosmetics rising by more than half during lockdown, Stylist investigates the murky side of the online beauty industry Words: HANNA IBRAHEEM Photography: SAM KAPLAN When Priya* purchased a hard-to-get lip gloss at a fraction of the usual price from a reseller online, she thought she had nabbed herself a good deal. “The packaging looked completely normal and the colour was spot on,” she remembers. But when Priya swiped the doe foot applicator across her lips, she realised quickly that something wasn’t right. “I’m convinced it was laced with something like superglue,” she says. “When I put the lip gloss on, it gave my lips that sticky feeling that you get with a tacky lip gloss. Suddenly, I couldn’t separate my…

yomi adegoke “Black Women Have to be loud to be heard” When we are still being silenced, the ‘loud Black woman’ stereotype is painfully ironic, writes award-winning journalist and author Yomi Adegoke On a sunny afternoon in 2018, my co-author and I gathered with a group of brilliant Black women for brunch, to mark the release of our debut book Slay In Your Lane. It resembled any good celebration: champagne bottles were popped, pictures were snapped and laughs – loud ones – were had. Sadly, our revelry was cut short by a perturbed staff member who demanded we lower our voices as we were making too much noise. A perfectly reasonable request, if we hadn’t been surrounded by the thundering chortles of a dozen white merrymakers. The irony was not…
