beauty The Reinvention of bodycare It’s time to take bodycare more seriously. And thankfully, the new formulas are more sophisticated than ever before WORDS: Shannon Peter You do the maths. The average adult is covered in two square metres of skin weighing around a sixth of your total bodyweight. Ninety-one per cent of that skin exists from the neck down. So why is it that for so long, our beauty routines (and the associated time, energy and effort) have swung so heavily in favour of the 9% on our faces? That illogical truth might finally be about to change, and it’s all thanks to lockdown. With more downtime available, many of us have sought solace in the tiled walls of our own bathrooms, and finally started to reacquaint ourselves with…

But you’d be missing the point. Like most of us, I’ve felt the joy and necessity of being outdoors more than ever this year. Yet, as we gear up to make our way through the darkest, bleakest season of the year,…

nigella lawson The joy of Eating alone As we tick off another week of lockdown, and with more of us living by ourselves than ever before, Nigella Lawson writes exclusively for Stylist on the importance – and indulgence – of cooking for one Photography: jennifer livingston Scene: early November, in my kitchen. A friend over for dinner (still permitted then). An advance copy of my new book oh-so-casually out on the counter. Friend flicks through appreciatively, murmuring the titles of recipes that were calling to her, then stops abruptly at a page. “Crème Caramel for One? How depressing!” I laughed, and told her both happily and emphatically: “Not for me, it isn’t!” Now, before you get defensive on my behalf, I must tell you that this was not a comment…
