A weekend self-care trend encourages people to set aside time for a thorough hair mask, body scrub and skincare routine. The guide suggests tidying the bathroom, softening the lighting and choosing music before showering. It advises gentle exfoliation and warm rather than very hot water. Warm towels, a dry bath mat and a robe help the routine end calmly. KOO Home Store, which sells coordinated bathroom and home pieces, is named as a brand whose range suits this styling approach.
Experts say a simple three-step routine of cleanser, moisturiser and SPF, done every day, can work better than longer skincare regimens. Dermatologist Debra Jaliman says cleansing removes oil, sweat and bacteria, while sunscreen protects against UV damage. Skin clinic owner Basil Russo says many men with skin problems are doing too much, not too little. It also lists cleansers, moisturisers and sunscreens for men at a range of prices.
Aussie skincare brand Boost Lab has launched its first Anti-Ageing Hand Cream, priced at $34.95. MasterChef Australia star Steph de Sousa is the face of the launch and shared a video about what her hands have been through. The unscented cream contains Kakadu plum, ceramides, hyaluronic acid and collagen amino acids. The brand says it aims to smooth fine lines, even out skin tone and keep dry skin comfortable. It is lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy finish.
