Top 5 Spring Makeup Trends 2021

Spring is upon us; the birds are singing, the temperature is rising and so are our hopes for an end to this temporary lockdown. On a brighter note; this year’s makeup trends are all about colour and sparkle, what more could you possibly want? I know we’re all slightly fed up of the current situation… (to say the least) Of course, due to Covid and the new mask wearing lifestyle we’ve had to undertake; the focus will be mainly on the eyes. As usual, I’ve been scrolling on Instagram… a lot (you know how it is) and I’ve come across some stunning makeup looks thatRead More…

Monsoon

Monsoon is a lifestyle brand that enriches everyday life with natural beauty, positivity and endless discovery… Our story begins with one man and his vision; to bring vibrant, colourful, hand-crafted artisan clothes from faraway places to the markets of London. It is a journey that started on a hippy commune in Ibiza, 1970, and finished with an overland trip east, through Afghanistan and India. Our founder, Peter Simon, returned from his life-changing adventures to pursue a new passion for beautiful, bohemian-inspired pieces with hand-printed, hand-woven and crochet design details, which he started to trade from a stall on Portobello Road, London. Three years later, heRead More…

hair loss why does hair loss happen

Curly or straight, long or short, blonde or brunette, our hair is part of our identity, so it’s not easy when it starts to fall or thin out. There are many reasons why hair loss happens and very often, there are ways to treat it. Although, not getting bothered over it is okay too.  Why does hair loss happen? Hair goes through three main stages: a growing phase (takes 3-5 years), an intermediate phase (2 weeks’ long) and a shedding phase. Under normal circumstances, we lose about 50 to 100 hairs on a daily basis. Our hair follicles can be in any of the threeRead More…

persona med aesthetics plastic surgery

I receive many anonymous requests from members of Women for Women with regards to various cosmetic surgery procedures. Many women seem shy to ask directly about cosmetic surgery and it is still quite something not openly discussed amongst women. I therefore decided it would be a great idea if I asked all the questions that we women would usually want to know. I have heard a lot of positive recommendations about Persona so I thought this would be a great place to start from and to see what they have to offer. With Covid-19 confining us indoors and with winter around the corner and numbersRead More…

mesotherapy malta

Youthful, radiant, healthy skin – the holy grail of the medical aesthetics industry. But how can we achieve it? And how do we maintain it? An effective solution is mesotherapy, a treatment that originated in France in the 1950s and has steadily gained global popularity over the years as a specialty discipline.    Mesotherapy is also known as biorevitalization or skin “boosting”. It’s a simple and effective treatment that targets ageing skin and gives natural results with essentially no downtime.

Maskne acne from covid masks

Wham asked Dr. Charmaine Apap about Maskne… In my practice I am increasingly consulting a lot of patients (both female as well as male) who have started seeing acne due to prolonged mask use. This is occurring even in people who have never had acne before, as well as aggravating acne in people who were already prone to the problem. Such is the frequent worldwide occurrence of this problem that a new term “Maskne” has been recently coined. It is primarily caused by the heat, friction and occlusion which develops under the mask (in fact it is a type of occlusive acne called “acne mechanica“). This isRead More…

lovetheskinurin

At 51, I can safely say I finally know what it means when one says “love the skin youre in”. I no longer really care if my hair is frizzy, if my legs are not perfectly waxed or if I have a zit bang in the middle of my chin. Feeling confident and happy with oneself no matter what we look like is a great liberating feeling. Love the skin youre in! It was not always so. I remember feeling very self-conscious and not liking many parts of my body, my gummy smile, my hairy body, my frizzy hair, being too tall, having ugly toesRead More…
