CosBeauty #88
These are strange times in which we find ourselves. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, extraordinary situations have somehow become ordinary – from social distancing and self-quarantine to working from home and Zoom happy hours.
In challenging times, self-care has never been more important.
One of the best ways to stay healthy, both physically and mentally, is to keep active. On page 80 learn some pro tips for an at-home workout from Australia’s favourite fitness guru Sam Wood – it’s guaranteed to get your sweat session on. We also dive into the lost art of taking a bath on page 24, and discover how this ancient beauty and mindfulness ritual offers a myriad of research-backed healing properties.
Beauty rituals are important during this time, helping to boost your mood and unleash your creativity. Check out some of the celeb #LockdownLooks and the products to create your own version on page 60. We also investigate whether isolation skin is now a thing (spoiler alert: it is) on page 38, and we have the at home DIY hair treatments for quarantined hair on page 88.
Is stress keeping you awake these days? There’s no debate sleep is a vital component of staying healthy, but did you know research has shown a lack of sleep doubles the signs of skin ageing, including fine lines? Read more on page 96 and also our tips on how to maximise your beauty sleep.
If you’re binge watching Tiger King until the early hours of the morn, let this be your warning! Whether you’re feeling restless or well-rested, we hope this special issue of COSBEAUTY helps to lift your spirits and equip you with the products and knowhow to live beautifully, mindfully and make the most of this unique time.
