From the<br />
EDITOR<br />
Happy 100th issue of <strong>CosBeauty</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>! It’s hard to believe it’s<br />
been 25 years since I launched Cosmetic Surgery & Beauty <strong>Magazine</strong> in<br />
Australia in May, 1998. During this time, we’ve witnessed the changing<br />
face of the cosmetic enhancement industry – one that has gone from<br />
being secret women’s business to everybody’s business.<br />
In honour of our 100th issue, this edition is loaded with our favourite tried and<br />
tested beauty products, showcasing the newest innovations in skincare, hair care<br />
and makeup. Plus, on page 62, we report on the latest cosmetic surgery stats from<br />
around the world. You may be surprised at the procedure that has taken the<br />
number-one spot!<br />
While beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, our self-perception of beauty is<br />
becoming more and more skewed by social media. A new study from The Dove<br />
Self-esteem Project reveals the startling impact of idealised beauty content on social<br />
media – and the findings aren’t pretty. You can read more about this important study<br />
and how to take action against toxic beauty on page 88.<br />
It’s already that time of the year again when the days are getting shorter and the<br />
temperature is dropping. Frosty winds and indoor heating can cause real havoc to<br />
our skin, stripping it of its natural oils and exacerbating dryness and irritation. Our<br />
winter skincare feature on page 36 has all the products you need this season to help<br />
you say bye-bye to scaly skin.<br />
As the weather turns, there’s nothing quite like languishing in a warm bath.<br />
Sinking softly into a gently perfumed bath is not just an exercise in self-indulgence,<br />
it can actually enhance your body’s function and mental health. On page 60 we<br />
look at the beauty houses elevating the humble bath to create a skin-loving<br />
multi-sensorial experience.<br />
We hope you enjoy this issue of <strong>CosBeauty</strong> magazine and be sure to subscribe to<br />

THE WHO’S WHO AND WHAT’S NEW IN BEAUTY.<br />
FRESH CHAPTER IN THE GOOD GIRL STORY<br />
Carolina Herrera continues an exploration of<br />
contemporary womanhood with the release<br />
of Good Girl Blush Eau de Parfum, a daring<br />
explosion of contrasts that forms a uniquely<br />
powdery expression of floral femininity.<br />
The central tenet of the Good Girl personality<br />
is duality; an olfactory expression of a woman’s<br />
ability to be at once sensual and strong,<br />
instinctive and intelligent, romantic and<br />
empowered.<br />
For this new edition, perfumer Quentin<br />
Bisch worked with his colleagues Shyamala<br />
Maisondieu and Christophe Raynaud, finding<br />
instant visual inspiration in the iconic Good Girl<br />
stiletto bottle itself: ‘It instantly brought to mind<br />
the vanilla bean. The heel is the strength of the<br />
shoe, and I imagined the vanilla as the strength<br />
of the fragrance.’<br />
Using differing extractions of the same<br />
ingredient was an ingenious way of delving<br />
further into the story of Good Girl. Not only<br />
did the perfumers create a sunny explosion of<br />
fragrance by contrasting ingredients with each<br />
other, but they also found a way of creating<br />
complementary notes within each ingredient.<br />
‘We were already working with the gourmand<br />
side of vanilla in previous incarnations of Good<br />
Girl, so using an additional powdery extraction<br />
was the ideal way of articulating a blush,’ says<br />
Bisch. When it came to Ylang Ylang, ‘we had<br />
the luminosity of the flower petal itself, and by<br />
using an Absolute in addition, we were able to<br />
play with the deeper, more narcotic and sensual<br />
side of this alluring flower.<br />
Good Girl Blush Eau de Parfum is available at<br />
Myer and David Jones.<br />

HEALTHY SCALP, HEALTHY HAIR<br />
Scalp health is having a moment, and<br />
it’s about time. Hair follicles are located<br />
in the scalp, and they rely on a healthy<br />
environment to produce strong, healthy<br />
hair. If the scalp is unhealthy, it can lead to<br />
hair loss, thinning and breakage.<br />
Aveda, the high-performance vegan hair<br />
care brand and pioneer in green chemistry,<br />
has introduced its new Scalp Solutions<br />
range, a 94% naturally derived collection<br />
of botanically-powered products designed<br />
specifically for scalp health.<br />
Backed by research from world-leading<br />
scientific authorities in scalp biology,<br />
8 years of scientific research and 13 clinical<br />
studies, Aveda’s new Scalp Solutions<br />
collection fights visible signs of premature<br />
scalp ageing for healthier looking hair with<br />
renewed vitality and shine.<br />
Aveda’s Scalp Solutions collection is<br />
available in Aveda salons, spas, stores and<br />
online at www.aveda.com.au.<br />

Winter skin<br />
IS YOUR SKIN STRESSED OUT? DEHYDRATED BY FROSTY<br />
WINDS AND INDOOR HEATERS? SAY BYE-BYE TO SCALY<br />
SKIN WITH THESE THIRST-QUENCHING SKIN HYDRATORS.<br />
During the winter months, dry skin can be a<br />
real conundrum. Cold, dry air outdoors and<br />
heated air indoors can strip your skin of its<br />
natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.<br />
Hot showers and baths can further zap moisture from<br />
your skin, making the problem even worse.<br />
Helping to prevent dry skin throughout the cooler<br />
months requires a multifaceted approach. First and most<br />
importantly is protecting and strengthening your skin’s<br />
barrier function.<br />
www.cosbeauty.com.au 37
SKIN<br />
FORTIFYING<br />
SKIN BARRIER<br />
FUNCTION<br />
The skin’s barrier function (or malfunction) plays<br />
a crucial role in maintaining healthy, hydrated<br />
skin. The outermost layer of the skin, known as<br />
the stratum corneum, acts as a barrier to prevent<br />
water loss and protect against environmental<br />
stressors. When the skin’s barrier function is<br />
compromised, it can lead to dryness, sensitivity,<br />
and a whole host of other skin problems.<br />
During the cooler months, use skincare<br />
products that contain ingredients including<br />
hyaluronic acid, glycerin and ceramides, which<br />
help to lock in moisture and strengthen the skin’s<br />
barrier function.<br />
Just as you would layer your outer garments<br />
to keep warm, try layering your your products<br />
to help lock moisture into your skin and give an<br />
extra boost of hydration. Always apply serums<br />
first, then follow with your moisturiser.<br />
When applying creams and serums, massaging<br />
your skin in a light circular motion will also help<br />
to improve blood circulation to your skin and<br />
promote better penetration of active ingredients.
SIGNS<br />
YOUR SKIN<br />
BARRIER IS<br />
DAMAGED<br />
The skin barrier is a thin, protective layer on<br />
the surface of your skin that helps to keep<br />
moisture in and harmful substances out.<br />
It is made up of lipids, or fats, that form a<br />
waterproof barrier that prevents water from<br />
evaporating from your skin and keeps it<br />
hydrated.<br />
When your skin barrier is healthy, it helps<br />
to protect your skin from environmental<br />
stressors such as pollution, UV radiation, and<br />
harsh weather conditions. It also helps to<br />
prevent the loss of moisture from your skin.<br />
However, when your skin barrier is damaged,<br />
it can no longer function properly, which<br />
can lead to increased sensitivity to irritants<br />
and allergens.<br />
Signs your skin barrier is damaged include:<br />
• Dry and flaky skin<br />
• Redness and irritation<br />
• Increased sensitivity<br />
• Breakouts and acne<br />
• Premature fine lines and wrinkles<br />
• Uneven skin texture and tone.<br />
You can help strengthen your skin’s barrier<br />
function by opting for gentle skincare<br />
products over harsh chemicals and abrasive<br />
scrubs, avoiding showering or bathing in hot<br />
water, and protecting your skin from the sun<br />
and other environmental stressors.<br />
www.cosbeauty.com.au 39
SKIN<br />
PROTECTION<br />
FROM THE<br />
ELEMENTS<br />
It’s essential to incorporate sunscreen into your daily<br />
skincare all year round (UV rays are still a very real<br />
threat no matter the season). Add sunscreen as the<br />
last step in your skincare regimen. And don’t forget<br />
your lips – use a lip balm with sunscreen protection<br />
and apply it frequently.<br />
While it’s incredibly tempting to take a long hot<br />
shower or bath, they can strip your skin of its natural<br />
oils. Instead, opt for lukewarm water and limit your<br />
shower or bath time to no more than 10 minutes.<br />
Apply your moisturiser immediately after showering<br />
or bathing, when your skin is still damp, to help lock<br />
in moisture.<br />
It’s also important to be mindful of the products<br />
you’re using on your skin during the winter months.<br />
Avoid harsh soaps and exfoliants, which can strip<br />
your skin of its natural oils and exacerbate dryness.<br />
Instead, opt for products that are specifically<br />
formulated for dry or sensitive skin.
Liquid<br />
assets<br />
It’s just as important to hydrate your<br />
body from the inside as it is from the<br />
outside. Staying on top of your 8-glass<br />
a day water consumption will visibly<br />
improve the appearance of your skin,<br />

COSMETIC ENHANCEMENT<br />
INTRODUCING<br />
THE LATEST<br />
ADVANCEMENT IN<br />
NON-SURGICAL SKIN<br />
TIGHTENING<br />
ENDYMED IS BEING TOUTED AS THE NEXT<br />
STEP UP IN SKIN TIGHTENING AND LIFTING,<br />
OFFERING FAST AND COMFORTABLE<br />
TREATMENTS WITH IMMEDIATE AND LONG-<br />
LASTING RESULTS, AND NO DOWNTIME.
EndyMed is a state-of-the-art<br />
radiofrequency (RF) platform used<br />
by dermatologists and aesthetic<br />
professionals the world over. It provides a highly<br />
effective solution for wrinkle treatment, skin<br />
tightening on both the face and body, body<br />
contouring and acne scar treatment, as well as<br />
collagen-boosting RF microneedling for the<br />
face, neck and body. This all-in-one device can<br />
treat multiple skin concerns and a wide variety of<br />
skin types and colours.<br />
What makes it special is its proprietary 3DEEP<br />
RF technology, which is being hailed as the<br />
most powerful and focused RF technology<br />
available today. This unique technology delivers<br />
RF energy, which is converted to heat, to three<br />
different depths deep within the skin’s dermis.<br />
Unlike some other RF technologies, which are<br />
more superficial and can often be painful or risky<br />
to the epidermis, 3DEEP’s controlled energy<br />
to the dermis reduces the amount of energy<br />
flowing through the skin’s surface, offering<br />
optimal, painless collagen remodelling.<br />
WHAT CAN<br />
ENDYMED<br />
DO?<br />
• Skin tightening<br />
• Wrinkle reduction<br />
• Fractional skin resurfacing<br />
• Texture improvement<br />
• Body contouring<br />
• Cellulite reduction<br />
• Circumferential reduction<br />
• Acne and acne scar reduction<br />
• Traumatic scar reduction<br />
• Stretch mark reduction<br />

COSMETIC ENHANCEMENT<br />
THE ENDYMED<br />
ADVANTAGE<br />
WITH DR SHOBHAN<br />
MANOHARAN<br />
Dermatologist and Laser Specialist, Brisbane<br />
Non-surgical skin tightening procedures are<br />
skyrocketing in popularity. What role do these<br />
technologies play in reversing the signs of ageing?<br />
There was a time when a patient’s option was only<br />
surgery, or the non-surgical options were very much<br />
in their infancy and with minimal efficacy. The necessity<br />
for low-downtime, non-surgical procedures has led<br />
to the advent of more effective energy-based skin<br />
tightening procedures.<br />
These energy-based devices have been able to<br />
not only provide effective skin tightening solutions<br />
on multiple areas of the body with low to no<br />
downtime, but also contribute to improvements in the<br />
quality of skin and the stimulation of collagen<br />
and elastin remodelling.
What makes EndyMed a standout technology in<br />
the field of non-surgical skin tightening?<br />
EndyMed stands out due to its sophisticated form of<br />
RF technology known as 3DEEP RF, which provides<br />
precise and controlled delivery of heat to the skin,<br />
resulting in safe and effective treatment with minimal<br />
discomfort and downtime.<br />
EndyMed’s 3DEEP RF non-ablative and fractional<br />
technologies provide a range of benefits, including<br />
the ability to treat a wide variety of skin concerns and<br />
skin types, as well as the ability to tailor treatment<br />
solutions to individual patient needs. For us, it is<br />
a versatile option for sun damage, tissue laxity,<br />
rejuvenation and scarring on the one platform.<br />
Who is a good candidate?<br />
Good candidates for EndyMed are typically those<br />
who have mild to moderate skin laxity, wrinkles or<br />
other signs of ageing, as well as those who wish to<br />
improve the overall health and appearance of<br />
their skin.<br />
Patients with mild to moderate acne scarring,<br />
even those with active acne, are also good<br />
candidates, and we often combine medical<br />
management with EndyMed treatments<br />
simultaneously. The great thing is, EndyMed is<br />
suitable for all skin types and can be tailored to<br />
meet individual patient needs.<br />
What are your patients saying about EndyMed?<br />
Patient satisfaction with EndyMed is very high and<br />
thus we carry this device in all three of my Brisbane<br />
Skin practices. My patients like the fact they can<br />
generally wear makeup and get back to work<br />
the next day but still get significant results over a<br />
prescribed treatment course.<br />
What areas of the face and body can be treated?<br />
EndyMed can be used to treat a range of areas on<br />
the face and body, including the forehead, cheeks,<br />
jowls, neck, arms, abdomen and thighs. My favourite<br />
procedure is the RF microneedling mode, which I<br />
think is one of the industry’s leading technologies<br />
for RF microneedling. I achieve consistent results<br />
for overall rejuvenation, undereye wrinkles and acne<br />
scarring, and it is one of my go-to devices for darker<br />
skin tones.<br />
How many treatments are required and what<br />
does the treatment feel like?<br />
The number of treatments required varies depending<br />
on the individual patient’s concerns, skin type<br />
and capacity for downtime. We do a thorough<br />
assessment at the first consult, and can prescribe<br />
a treatment protocol that will produce desired<br />
outcomes for most patients. Typically, patients<br />
require a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks<br />
apart. Treatment is well-tolerated, with minimal<br />
discomfort.<br />
When do patients start seeing results?<br />
Generally, patients will start seeing results even<br />
after the first treatment; however, we do explain that<br />
improvements continue with subsequent treatments<br />
and encourage a treatment course to be followed<br />
to completion. Beyond that, we generally then<br />
prescribe a maintenance plan for them.<br />
Is there any downtime or side effects?<br />
There is typically no downtime associated with<br />
EndyMed’s skin tightening treatments, and minimal/<br />
short downtime for fractional or RF microneedling<br />
treatments, with some patients experiencing mild<br />
redness and swelling immediately following the<br />
treatment. Most patients can wear makeup and<br />
return to work within 24-48 hours.<br />
What should potential patients know about<br />
EndyMed?<br />
EndyMed has an excellent safety profile, is welltolerated<br />
and offers minimal discomfort and<br />
downtime. EndyMed can be used to treat a wide<br />
range of skin concerns and skin types, and the<br />
treatment can be tailored to meet individual<br />
needs. You can expect to see improvements in skin<br />
tightness, elasticity, and overall appearance after<br />
undergoing EndyMed treatments. CBM<br />

WELCOME<br />
TO THE<br />
HOUSE OF<br />
CREED<br />
RICKY ALLEN DELVES INTO THE HISTORY<br />
OF ONE THE WORLD’S MOST EXCLUSIVE<br />
FRAGRANCE HOUSES.<br />
The House of Creed has a pedigree unlike any other<br />
fragrance house. Its unique story, brimming with royal<br />
references, starts when James Henry Creed presented<br />
King George III with a pair of scented leather gloves on his<br />
accession to the throne.<br />
The House of Creed was founded that same year, in<br />
1760; a family-run business that quickly gained a reputation<br />
as an exquisite tailor house and creator of extremely rare<br />
hand-crafted fragrances. At the behest of Napoleon III<br />
and his Empress, Eugénie, Creed relocated from London to<br />
Paris in 1854 and was appointed as an official supplier to<br />
the royal household.<br />
In their Paris headquarters, Creed continued to create<br />
a legacy of scents for men and women using the Millésime<br />
process, a time-honoured technique still used by the<br />
company today. ‘Each Creed fragrance has undergone<br />
the time-revered process of maceration and maturation<br />
that deliver exceptional fragrances utilising the world’s<br />
finest raw materials,’ says Michael Marzano, head of<br />
education for Agence de Parfume, which is the Australian<br />
distributor of Creed.<br />
‘The Millésime technique encompasses the entire<br />
fragrance-making process in great depth and detail – from<br />
the harvesting technique to the small-batch process using<br />
maceration and maturation. This is the true art of the<br />
Millesime process, demonstrating the unique changing<br />
nature of the ingredients used in Creed fragrances. The<br />
result is like a fine wine: huge continuity of experience with<br />
changing nuances from year to year.’<br />
After 260 years, the company was sold in 2020, but Olivier<br />
and his son Erwin Creed, part of the family’s long legacy of<br />
perfumers, are still the creative masters of Creed, continuing to<br />
Creed Wind Flowers 75ml, $469. Floral and<br />
fresh, the fragrance opens with sweet jasmine,<br />
wrapped around the zesty scent of Tunisian<br />
orange blossom and softened by a fruity peach<br />
note. A powerful heart of delicate jasmine flower,<br />
tuberose petals and a soft rose extract add depth<br />
and texture to this fragrance while a warm flurry<br />
of sandalwood is twisted around a haze of iris<br />
and musk. A vibrant note of orange blossom<br />
and creamy praline offsets this dusky floral scent,<br />
bringing to life this luminous fragrance.
develop and evolve the Creed fragrance portfolio. Olivier<br />
and Erwin Creed travel the world sourcing the best of ingredients,<br />
including Rose from Bulgaria, Iris from Florence and Bergamot<br />
from Calabria. The purest and most natural ingredients from<br />
each year’s harvest are used. Each ingredient is weighed and<br />
macerated by hand, again through their unique Millésime<br />
technique, which captures the highest quality concentration of<br />
natural essential oils. All of the fragrances are produced in-house<br />
in Fountainbleau, Paris.<br />
Michael tells me that Creed is veering away from gender specifics<br />
in fragrance (they consider all of their fragrances to be gender-less).<br />
Fragrances broad in appeal for all include Silver Mountain Water,<br />
the revered Millésime Imperial, Aventus Cologne, Viking Cologne,<br />
Himalaya and Virgin Island Water, to name a few.<br />
Most of the key fragrances have matching ancillaries such as<br />
body lotion, shower gel, soap and men’s grooming products.<br />
‘Adding an ancillary to your daily fragrance routine will add<br />
volume and complexity to your scent as well as increasing staying<br />
power,’ says Michael. ‘It becomes ritualistic and adds to the<br />
experience of daily perfuming.’<br />
Over the centuries – and seven generations – the Creed<br />
family has produced over 200 fragrances, all treasured by<br />
perfume connoisseurs throughout the world. Many of Creed’s<br />
early fragrances, some dating as far back to the 1850s, are<br />
still sold today. In addition, Creed fragrances are still filtered,<br />
bottled and labelled by hand, making it a true bespoke offering<br />
and worthy of holding the number-one status in most countries<br />
around the world. CBM<br />
Creed Aqua Originale Zeste Mandarine<br />
100ml, $385. The sunny, intriguing freshness<br />
of Zeste Mandarine is suggested by the sweet<br />
and citrus note of the yellow mandarin, which<br />
gives the fragrance an extraordinary vitality<br />
thanks to the blend, with penetrating hints<br />
of Italian lemon and the green nuances of<br />
Paraguay’s petitgrain.<br />
Creed Birmanie Oud Room Spray<br />
150ml, $185. Inspired by<br />
Olivier Creed’s expeditions in the Far East, this scent conjures<br />
the dark and resinous agarwood trees in Myanmar. Rich and<br />
luxurious, Birmanie Oud creates a sensual ambiance. Featuring<br />
sumptuous and opulent ingredients, this long-lasting home<br />

A DEEP DIVE ON THE MOST POWERFUL<br />
INGREDIENTS TO LOOK FOR IN A<br />
MOISTURISER. WORDS BY RICKY ALLEN.<br />
Ultraceuticals Ultra DNA³<br />
Complex Recovery Night<br />
Cream 50ml, $199
I<br />
spoke to Tracey Beeby (Global Education<br />
Technical Training Manager) and Dr Sally Noushini<br />
(Innovation and R&D Chemist), both<br />
from Ultraceuticals, about the importance of using<br />
a face cream, their benefits, plus the innovative<br />
ingredients to be found in them today. Here’s what<br />
they had to say:<br />
Moisturising is essential to maintain the overall<br />
health of our skin. The skin’s lipid barrier in its<br />
uppermost layer, the horny layer or stratum corneum,<br />
keeps water in. Also, cells in this layer contain<br />
humectant moisturisers that together are called the<br />
Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF). The NMF attracts<br />
moisture and keeps it in place. The lipid barrier can<br />
become impaired for various reasons, such as using<br />
some cleansers or getting older. The NMF can also<br />
become less effective for different reasons. If the<br />
skin is chronically dry, it can become flaky, develop<br />
fine lines, become dull in appearance, be easily<br />
irritated and even inflamed. Also, moisturised skin<br />
looks healthier and more cosmetically pleasing than<br />
dry skin.<br />
Moisturisers can restore lipids, humectants and<br />
occlusive and emollient ingredients to keep the skin<br />
supple and moist. The skin should be moisturised<br />
daily to keep it in a healthy state. Even oily skin<br />
can lack adequate hydration and benefit from daily<br />
moisturisation. The right moisturiser on oily skin can<br />
reduce sebum flow and shine.<br />
Across the Ultraceuticals range, moisturisers are<br />
always applied over the top of corrective serums.<br />
This is because we need the serums to penetrate the<br />
lower levels of the skin and the moisturisers act to<br />
infuse the skin with moisture, nourish the skin’s natural<br />
lipid layer and help to retain the skin’s moisture.<br />
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A<br />
MOISTURISER<br />
An effective moisturiser has a combination of<br />
both sophiticated delivery technology and active<br />
ingredients that are found naturally within the skin.<br />
The latter mimics the moisturising components<br />
of the skin and can be more effective than other<br />
moisturising ingredients.<br />
The skin’s lipid barrier is composed of 50%<br />
ceramides, 25% free fatty acids and 25% sterol.<br />
Effective repair of the lipid barrier is achieved by<br />
www.cosbeauty.com.au 57
FEATURE<br />
applying these ingredients in the same ratio. Free<br />
fatty acids include linolenic and linoleic acids.<br />
The ability of the skin to attract water from the<br />
deeper layers and keep it in place can be restored<br />
with ingredients contained in the skin’s Natural<br />
Moisturising Factor. These include sodium PCA,<br />
sodium lactate, lactic acid and hyaluronic acid.<br />
Hyaluronic acid is the most powerful humectant<br />
moisturising ingredient in the skin. Traditionally,<br />
hyaluronic acid molecules with a very large molecular<br />
size have been used in skincare. These molecules<br />
sit on the surface of the skin, but don’t penetrate it.<br />
Over the past few years hyaluronic acid with a very<br />
low molecular size has been available. Hyaluronic<br />
acid with the right low molecular size can penetrate<br />
the skin to provide a more powerful effect. The<br />
combination of low and high molecular size<br />
molecules of hyaluronic acid can be very effective.<br />
Ultraceuticals’ Ultra DNA³ Complex Recovery<br />
Night Cream contains Lamellar Technology, a new<br />
technology that heklps to increase the cream’s<br />
compatibility with the skin. Its layered structure<br />
(lamellar structure) mimics the skin’s lipid bilayers.<br />
It also increases the efficacy of the cream because<br />
the structure allows for greater absorption into the<br />
skin. In addition, it contains a triple enzyme complex<br />
that works with the skin’s natural renewal cycle to<br />
intensely nourish, hydrate and condition normal,<br />
dry and oily skins, leaving the complexion looking<br />
supple and glowing.<br />
The enzymes have been encapsulated in a<br />
liposome delivery system for optimum efficacy<br />
and skin delivery. The combination of these three<br />
enzymes works with the skin’s natural night-time<br />
renewal cycle to help deeply nourish and restore<br />
hydration for a glowing and healthy-looking<br />
complexion.<br />
Ultra DNA³ Complex Recovery Night Cream<br />
also contains a powerful blend of moisturising<br />
agents featuring sodium hyaluronate, with skin<br />
conditioning ingredients like Panthenol, Squalane,<br />
Jojoba Oil, Grapeseed Oil and Avocado Oil to help<br />
replenish vital hydration levels and support the skin’s<br />
lipid barrier.<br />
At Ultraceuticals we strive to be on the forefront of<br />
innovation and technology with all our products and<br />
this would not be possible without intensive research<br />
on new ingredients and technologies from all over the<br />
world. This is one of the many benefits of having our<br />

BATHING<br />
WHY THE LOST ART OF TAKING<br />
A BATH NEEDS A REVIVAL.<br />
WORDS BY RICKY ALLEN.<br />
Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia Bath Oil, $112<br />
Jo Malone London Red Roses Candle, $110<br />
Bathing has had social, wellness and beauty<br />
connotations throughout history and has long<br />
been used as a form of healing therapy in many<br />
ancient cultures.<br />
Unfortunately for many of us, bathing has become nonexistent<br />
and almost entirely replaced by a quick shower as<br />
we grapple to find enough hours in the day.<br />
It’s time to rethink our priorities and revise the lost art<br />
of taking a bath. From a beauty as well as wellness aspect,<br />
we will reap the rewards.<br />
Sinking softly into a warm bath is not just an exercise<br />
in self-care, it can also enhance your body’s function and<br />
mental health. A growing body of research has shown that<br />
a bath can calm the nervous system, reducing the levels of<br />
stress and anxiety in your body and improving your mood.<br />
Positive anti-inflammatory and blood sugar responses have<br />
also been demonstrated, which can help protect against<br />
illness and infection.<br />
With the right bath products, bathing can help<br />
rebalance the skin’s pH levels and soothe dry or irritated<br />
skin. For maximum moisture, immediately apply a body<br />
lotion or cream after towel drying your skin.<br />
Many beauty houses have specific products to elevate<br />
the humble bath and create a stress-relieving, skin-loving<br />
multi-sensorial experience. One of these companies is<br />
Jo Malone London. I spoke with their national Education<br />
Manager, Sarah-Louise Purcell, who walked me through

NEW GLOBAL SURVEY RESULTS FROM THE<br />
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF AESTHETIC PLASTIC<br />
SURGERY (ISAPS) REVEALS THE MOST POPULAR<br />
SURGICAL AND NON-SURGICAL COSMETIC<br />
PROCEDURES FROM AROUND THE WORLD.<br />
In January 2023, the International Society of Aesthetic<br />
Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) released the results of its annual<br />
Global Survey on aesthetic procedures. Overall, there was<br />
a 19.3% increase in procedures performed since the last<br />
reporting period, with more than 12.8 million surgical and<br />
17.5 million non-surgical procedures performed worldwide.<br />
The report shows a continuing rise in aesthetic surgery, with<br />
a 33.3% increase over the past four years. Both surgical and<br />
non-surgical procedures increased since the last survey (18.5%<br />
and 19.9%, respectively), with a significant increase of 54.4% in<br />
non-surgical procedures in the past four years.<br />
According to Dr Gianluca Campiglio, global survey editor<br />
and plastic surgeon in Italy, ‘We noticed an interesting<br />
increase in surgical procedures related to so-called “body<br />
contouring”, such as liposuction, which is now ranked as the<br />
most common procedure, ahead of breast augmentation for<br />
the first time in many years, and also a similar emerging trend<br />
for abdominoplasty, thigh lift and buttock augmentation.’

Liposuction was the most common cosmetic surgical<br />
procedure in 2021, with more than 1.9 million procedures and<br />
a 24.8% increase, overtaking breast augmentation (+3.8%). The<br />
top five most popular surgical procedures were liposuction,<br />
breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty and<br />
abdominoplasty. The top five non-surgical procedures were<br />
botulinum toxin injections, hyaluronic acid fillers, hair removal,<br />
skin tightening and fat reduction.<br />
While breast augmentation remains the most common<br />
surgical procedure for women, this procedure had only a slight<br />
increase of +0.5% in the past four years. By contrast, surgery to<br />
remove implants increased by 22.6% (+49.6% in the past four<br />
years), and breast lifts by 31.4% in the past year.<br />

PROCEDURES<br />
WORLDWIDE<br />
SURGICAL<br />
LIPOSUCTION<br />
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess<br />
fat from certain areas of the body. It can provide significant<br />
improvements in body contour and appearance, which can boost<br />
self-confidence and improve overall quality of life.<br />
The procedure is typically performed on areas where stubborn<br />
pockets of fat are resistant to diet and exercise, such as the<br />
abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms and chin.<br />
Recovery time varies depending on the individual and the extent<br />
of the procedure, but most people can return to work and normal<br />
activities within a few days to a week.<br />
While liposuction can provide significant improvements in<br />
body contour, it is not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise.<br />
It is also important to note that liposuction is not a weight-loss<br />
procedure and is not suitable if you are are significantly overweight<br />
or obese.<br />
BREAST AUGMENTATION<br />
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty,<br />
is a surgical procedure designed to increase the size and improve<br />
the shape of the breasts. The procedure involves placing breast<br />
implants beneath the breast tissue and/or chest muscle to enhance<br />
the size and improve the overall appearance of the breasts.<br />
Breast augmentation is typically performed on women who are<br />
dissatisfied with the size or shape of their breasts, or who have<br />
lost breast volume due to weight loss, pregnancy or ageing.<br />
The procedure can also be used to correct asymmetry or other<br />
breast deformities.<br />
It is typically performed under general anaesthesia and may or<br />
may not require an overnight hospital stay. Recovery time varies<br />
depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure, but<br />
most people can return to work and normal activities within a<br />
week or two.<br />
There are several different types of breast implants available,<br />
including saline, silicone and cohesive gel implants. The type of<br />
implant used will depend on your goals, preferences and anatomy.<br />
It is important to discuss the different options with a qualified<br />
surgeon to determine which type of implant is best for you.<br />

FEATURE<br />
EYELID SURGERY<br />
Blepharoplasty, also known as<br />
eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic surgical<br />
procedure that is designed to improve<br />
the appearance of the eyelids. The<br />
procedure can be performed on the<br />
upper and/or lower eyelids, depending<br />
on your individual needs and goals.<br />
Upper eyelid surgery, or upper<br />
blepharoplasty, involves removing<br />
excess skin and fat from the upper<br />
eyelids to create a more youthful,<br />
refreshed appearance. The procedure<br />
can also be used to correct drooping<br />
eyelids that may be interfering<br />
with vision.<br />
Lower eyelid surgery, aka lower<br />
blepharoplasty, involves removing<br />
excess skin and fat from the lower<br />
eyelids to reduce the appearance of eye<br />
bags and wrinkles. The procedure can<br />
also be used to correct sagging lower<br />
eyelids that may be causing a tired or<br />
aged appearance.<br />
Both upper and lower blepharoplasty<br />
are typically performed under local<br />
anesthesia with sedation or general<br />
anesthesia and can take anywhere from<br />
one to three hours depending on the<br />
extent of the procedure. Recovery time<br />
varies depending on the individual and<br />
the extent of the procedure, but most<br />
people can return to work and normal<br />
activities within a week.<br />
RHINOPLASTY<br />
Rhinoplasty, also known as nose reshaping<br />
surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure<br />
designed to improve the appearance and/or<br />
function of the nose. The procedure involves<br />
reshaping the nose by modifying the bone<br />
and cartilage.<br />
Rhinoplasty can be performed for a variety<br />
of reasons, including correcting a deviated<br />
septum, improving the appearance of the<br />
nose or correcting breathing problems. The<br />
procedure can address a variety of concerns,<br />
including a large or small nose, a crooked nose,<br />
a bump on the bridge of the nose, or a wide or<br />
upturned nasal tip.<br />
The surgery is typically performed under<br />
general anaesthesia and can take anywhere<br />
from one to three+ hours depending on the<br />
extent of the procedure. Recovery time varies<br />
depending on the individual and the extent of<br />
the procedure, but most people can return to<br />
work within a week or two.
ABDOMINOPLASTY<br />
Abdominoplasty, also known as a<br />
tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgical<br />
procedure designed to improve the<br />
appearance of the abdomen. The<br />
procedure involves removing excess<br />
skin and fat from the abdomen,<br />
and tightening the muscles of the<br />
abdominal wall.<br />
Abdominoplasty is typically<br />
performed on individuals who have<br />
excess skin or fat in the abdominal<br />
area that is resistant to diet and<br />
exercise, or who have experienced<br />
significant weight loss or pregnancy.<br />
The procedure can also be used<br />
to correct abdominal muscle<br />
separation, or diastasis recti.<br />
The surgery is performed under<br />
general anaesthesia. Recovery time<br />
varies depending on the individual<br />
and the extent of the procedure,<br />
but most people can return to work<br />
and normal activities after two to<br />
four weeks.<br />
During the procedure, incisions<br />
are made in the lower abdomen,<br />
and excess skin and fat are removed.<br />
The abdominal muscles are then<br />
tightened with sutures to create a<br />
flatter, more toned appearance.<br />

TOP 5<br />
PROCEDURES<br />
WORLDWIDE<br />
NON-SURGICAL<br />
BOTULINUM TOXIN<br />
Botulinum toxin, also referred to as anti-wrinkle injections, is the<br />
most popular popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure worldwide.<br />
The treatment involves injecting small amounts of botulinum<br />
toxin into the muscles of the face, which causes them to relax and<br />
reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.<br />
Botulinum toxin is most commonly used to treat wrinkles and fine<br />
lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes<br />
(crow’s feet). It can also be used “off-label” to treat other areas of<br />
the face, such as the chin, jawline and neck.<br />
The procedure only takes a few minutes to complete. The effects<br />
of the treatment start to appear around four days after treatment<br />
and last for three to four months, after which the procedure can be<br />
repeated as needed.<br />
HYALURONIC ACID FILLERS<br />
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are used to restore lost volume, smooth<br />
lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours. They work by<br />
injecting a gel-like substance made from hyaluronic acid under the<br />
skin. This helps to plump up wrinkles, smooth lines, and restore<br />
volume to the face.<br />
HA fillers are most commonly used to rejuvenate the face by<br />
augmenting the lips, cheeks, chin, and other areas. They can<br />
also be used to fill in wrinkles, fine lines and deep creases, and<br />
to restore volume to areas that have lost fullness due to ageing,<br />
weight loss or disease.<br />
The procedure is typically performed in a doctor’s office and<br />
takes around 10 to 40 minutes, depending on the number of areas<br />
being treated. The effects of the treatment are immediate (keep in<br />
mind there will be some slight swelling), and there is no downtime<br />
required after the procedure.<br />
The results can last anywhere from six months to over a year,<br />
depending on the type of filler used and its placement.<br />
www.cosbeauty.com.au 71
FEATURE<br />
HAIR REMOVAL<br />
Laser hair removal offers a popular, long-lasting solution<br />
to unwanted hair, with many people experiencing nearpermanent<br />
hair reduction after a series of treatments.<br />
During the procedure, a laser emits a light that is<br />
absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light<br />
energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair<br />
follicles that produce hairs.<br />
Laser hair removal is most commonly used to remove<br />
hair from the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini area,<br />
and other areas of the body. The procedure can take<br />
anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more,<br />
depending on the size of the area being treated.<br />
The number of treatments required to achieve the<br />
desired results can vary depending on the individual<br />
and the type and colour of the hair. Most people<br />
require multiple treatments, spaced several weeks<br />
apart, to achieve long-lasting hair reduction, after<br />
which a maintenance treatment every six months or<br />
so is recommended.<br />
NON-SURGICAL SKIN TIGHTENING<br />
Non-surgical skin tightening is a procedure that uses a<br />
type of energy, such as radiofrequency, ultrasound or<br />
laser, to tighten and firm the skin without the need for<br />
surgery. These devices work by delivering energy to<br />
the deeper layers of the skin, which stimulates collagen<br />
production and tightens the skin.<br />
Some of the most common skin tightening devices in<br />
Australia use radiofrequency technology and ultrasound<br />
energy to target the skin’s deeper dermis and<br />
subcutaneous layers, tightening the underlying tissue<br />
structure without damaging the outer layers of skin. This<br />
heating of the deep dermis and sub-dermal layers of<br />
the skin damages collagen in a controlled way, causing<br />
instant collagen contraction and promoting the body’s<br />
own healing mechanisms to produce new collagen over<br />
the ensuing months.<br />
A non-surgical skin tightening procedure is commonly<br />
used to lift the brow and forehead, around the eyes,<br />
cheeks and mid-face, jaw line and neck. This type<br />
of treatment is best suited for patients with mild to<br />
moderate sagging facial tissues, and can be used on<br />
any skin colour. It is not suitable for those with more<br />
extensive loose skin.<br />
Results are typically long-lasting, depending on the<br />
patient’s skin condition and severity of facial ageing and<br />
usually only one treatment is required.
ENERGY-BASED DEVICES WORK<br />
TO BREAK DOWN THE FAT CELLS,<br />
WHICH ARE THEN NATURALLY<br />
METABOLISED BY THE BODY OVER<br />
THE FOLLOWING WEEKS.<br />
NON-SURGICAL FAT<br />
REDUCTION<br />
Non-surgical body contouring procedures<br />
use medical-grade energy-based devices to<br />
permanently destroy fat cells. The energy is<br />
emitted via an applicator through the skin without<br />
damaging the outer layers or surrounding tissues,<br />
only targeting the unwanted fat.<br />
Most of these devices use radiofrequency,<br />
ultrasound or laser energy to disrupt fat cells.<br />
Regardless of the type of energy used, they all<br />
work to break down the fat cells, which are then<br />
naturally metabolised by the body over the<br />
following weeks.<br />
Non-surgical fat reduction is most commonly<br />
used to treat areas of stubborn fat on the<br />
abdomen, hips, thighs, back, knees, arms,<br />
under the chin and other areas of the body. The<br />
procedure is comfortable for most people and<br />
can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour,<br />
depending on the size of the area and number of<br />
areas being treated.<br />
Most non-surgical devices require a series<br />
of treatments to achieve best possible results.<br />
There is normally no downtime and complications<br />
are rare. In conjunction with a healthy diet and<br />
exercise, results should be long lasting because,<br />
just as with liposuction, when fat cells are<br />
permanently destroyed they will not return. CBM<br />

BEAUTY<br />
When it comes to<br />
hair care, there is<br />
no one-size-fits-all<br />
approach. Hair type<br />
plays a significant<br />
role in determining<br />
the best care routine. Understanding your hair<br />
type can help you choose the right products<br />
and styling techniques to keep your hair<br />
healthy and looking its best.<br />
Hair type is determined by several factors,<br />
including porosity, curl pattern, and density.<br />
Porosity refers to how easily your hair absorbs<br />
and retains moisture. Curl pattern refers to<br />
the shape of your hair strands, ranging from<br />
straight to wavy to kinky. Density refers to the<br />
number of hair strands on your scalp.<br />
Curl Pattern<br />
Your curl pattern refers to the shape of<br />
your hair strands. To determine your curl<br />
pattern, examine a single strand of hair.<br />
If your hair is straight, it will have no curl<br />
or wave to it. If your hair is wavy, it will<br />
have a slight S-shape to it. If your hair is<br />
curly, it will have a definite curl pattern,<br />
and the curls will hold their shape even<br />
when unstyled. If your hair is coily, it will<br />
be tightly coiled or kinky, often with a<br />
definite Z pattern.
Hair Density<br />
Hair density refers to how many hair<br />
strands you have on your head. To<br />
determine your hair density, an at-home<br />
method is to secure your hair into a<br />
ponytail and measure the circumference.<br />
Low density hair will tend to measure<br />
under 2 inches, medium density hair 2-3<br />
inches and high density hair 4+ inches.<br />
This will give you a general idea, but the<br />
thickness of each hair strand also plays<br />
a role in determining the thickness of<br />
your ponytail.<br />
Hair Porosity<br />
Hair porosity refers to your hair’s<br />
ability to absorb moisture and<br />
product. To determine your hair<br />
porosity, take a single strand of hair<br />
and place it into a bowl of water. If it<br />
sinks to the bottom quickly, you have<br />
high porosity hair. If it takes a while<br />
to sink, you have medium porosity<br />
hair. If it floats on top of the water,<br />
you have low porosity hair.<br />

WHAT’S<br />
YOUR<br />
TYPE?<br />
Type 1: Straight Hair<br />
Type 1 hair is straight and typically lacks any curl or wave. It is the most<br />
resilient hair type and has a natural shine. Type 1 hair is further classified into<br />
three subcategories:<br />
Type 1A: Fine and very thin hair that is prone to oiliness<br />
Type 1B: Medium-textured hair that has more body than Type 1A hair<br />
Type 1C: Coarse and thick hair that is resistant to styling and tends to frizz<br />
If you have Type 1 hair, use lightweight shampoos and conditioners to<br />
avoid weighing down your hair. Finer-haired beauties should use proteinbased<br />
volumising products, as opposed to products with too much moisture.<br />
Seek dry shampoos and protein treatments and avoid excessive use of<br />
serums and oils that can weigh your hair down or make it look greasy.<br />

If you have Type 2 hair, use lightweight<br />
products that enhance your natural wave<br />
pattern. Try a combination of protein- and<br />
moisture-based products such as a proteinbased<br />
shampoo and moisture-based<br />
conditioner. If your hair tends to frizz, antifrizz<br />
products like creams or light leave-in<br />
conditioners will help combat the frizzies<br />
without dragging down your hair and leaving<br />
it limp.<br />

Type 3B: Bouncy curls that are about<br />
the size of a marker<br />
Type 3C: Tight, corkscrew curls that are<br />
about the size of a pencil<br />
If you have Type 3 hair, use products<br />
that help define your curls and reduce<br />
frizz. Look for cream- or oil-based<br />
styling products as these will help tame<br />
frizz by adding some weight to the<br />
hair. Leave-in moisture masks are also<br />
a curly-haired girl’s best friend, helping<br />
curls show off their natural bounce.<br />

Type 4:<br />
Coily Hair<br />
Type 4 hair is tightly coiled and tends to be<br />
more fragile than other hair types. It is further<br />
classified into three subcategories:<br />
Type 4A: Tightly coiled curls that are about the<br />
size of a crochet needle<br />
Type 4B: Z-shaped curls that are about the size<br />
of a pen spring<br />
Type 4C: Tightly coiled curls that are about the<br />
size of a pencil lead<br />

If you have Type 4 hair, use products that help<br />
moisturise hair and reduce breakage. ‘Based on<br />
the science of curly hair, we need to consider<br />
that textured hair needs more moisture and<br />
hydration when compared with straight hair<br />
textures,’ says Rumbie Mutsiwa, Owner/Creative<br />
Director of Rumbie & Co salon in Sydney,<br />
Australia’s first curly hair specialist salon. ‘Our<br />
hair needs moisture, and the right products will<br />
leave the hair feeling hydrated, soft and yet<br />
not sit on the outside of the hair, but will be<br />
absorbed. Avoid products that dry out or strip<br />
the hair of its natural oils. It’s also good to avoid<br />
silicones and sulphates. I developed the Rumbie<br />
& Co Curly Hair product line to ensure they<br />
add moisture, de-frizz and activate the natural<br />
curl pattern. It gives curly-haired people the<br />
confidence to know how to cleanse, condition,<br />
style and treat their curls.’<br />

A NEW STUDY FROM<br />
THE DOVE SELF-ESTEEM<br />
PROJECT CONFIRMS<br />
THAT TOXIC BEAUTY<br />
ADVICE ON SOCIAL MEDIA<br />
NEGATIVELY IMPACTS<br />
YOUNG GIRLS’ SELF-ESTEEM<br />
AND BODY CONFIDENCE.<br />
Aussie girls are calling out for help, with 1 in<br />
2 saying idealised beauty content on social<br />
media negatively impacts their self-esteem.<br />
Alarmingly, new research from the Dove Self-<br />
Esteem Project has found that 70% of young girls (ages<br />
10-17) in Australia believe the influencers they follow on<br />
social media set the standard for how they should look.<br />
The Dove study reveals the startling impact of idealised<br />
beauty content on social media, with almost half (46%)<br />
of young girls aged 10-17 in Australia admitting they<br />
have undertaken at least one beauty procedure, such<br />
as tanning (19%), teeth whitening (20%) and eyelash<br />
extensions (15%) as a result of toxic influencer advice.<br />
Some young girls have taken even more drastic measures<br />
– including cosmetic injectables such as muscle relaxants<br />
and lip fillers, and skin bleaching to achieve the ‘perfect<br />
look’ or to look like someone else.<br />

SOCIAL MEDIA & SELF-ESTEEM<br />
Young girls in Australia are spending increasing<br />
amounts of time on social media – from using it<br />
to connect with friends to watching their favourite<br />
social media influencers. Specifically, 70% of young<br />
girls in Australia follow or watch influencers on social<br />
media with a focus on beauty (63%), fashion (56%)<br />
and celebrities (64%). And almost half of young girls<br />
in Australia spend 1-3 hours watching or posting<br />
things on social media (45% on the weekend and<br />
47% during the weekday). What’s more, half of<br />
young girls in Australia are on social media every<br />
day, with 17% spending more than 3 hours a day.<br />
The negative impact of social media on selfesteem<br />
is well-documented. Constant exposure<br />
to images of people with ‘perfect’ bodies or<br />
lifestyles can lead to feelings of inadequacy and<br />
low self-esteem.<br />
The study reveals that 45% of young girls<br />
in Australia follow at least one social media<br />
influencer that they admit makes them feel<br />
less confident in themselves and 45% follow at<br />
least one influencer that makes them question<br />
the way they look. Further, 52% of young girls<br />
constantly check how they look in photos and<br />
wish they looked better, 48% said they often wish<br />
they looked like someone else, and 46% agree<br />
that seeing body transformation photos from<br />
influencers makes them feel less beautiful.<br />
Interestingly, young females acknowledge the<br />
negative impact of toxic beauty feeds – 54% of<br />
Australian girls said toxic and potentially harmful<br />
beauty advice from social media influencers<br />
causes low self-esteem. What’s more, 51% say they<br />
know the influencers they follow edit their photos<br />
and yet they still want to look like them.

#DETOXYOURFEED<br />
– TAKING ACTION AGAINST<br />
TOXIC BEAUTY<br />
With 60% of young girls in Australia stating they<br />
wished they had information on how to avoid or deal<br />
with idealised beauty content, Dove has launched<br />
its #DetoxYourFeed campaign. The aim is to raise<br />
awareness of the impact of toxic beauty advice on<br />
social media, and equip young people, parents and<br />
caregivers with practical tools focussed on action<br />
and advice.<br />
Dr Hannah Jarman, Researcher in Body Image<br />
and Social Media and Dove’s campaign expert,<br />
shares, ‘Social media has become a normal part of<br />
life for many people, but this is especially true for<br />
young girls. While social media can be beneficial<br />
for some, the research suggests that it can also be<br />
quite harmful.<br />
‘Social media is often filled with ‘beautiful’ people<br />
living their ‘perfect’ lives and research tells us that<br />
the more we see this type of content, the more<br />
likely we are to compare ourselves. Unsurprisingly,<br />
these comparisons cause girls to feel worse<br />
about themselves in a range of areas, from their<br />
appearance to their social life. Given the majority<br />
of young people use social media, it’s essential that<br />
something is done to start to address this issue.’<br />
TV personality and mum, Melissa Doyle, has<br />
partnered with Dove as campaign ambassador<br />
to share the importance of helping young girls to<br />
detoxify their social media feeds and encourage<br />
other parents to do the same with their children,<br />
spreading awareness around the dangerous steps<br />
young girls are taking in order to achieve the<br />
‘perfect look’.<br />
‘Partnering with Dove on their #DetoxYourFeed<br />
campaign was a no-brainer for me. These days<br />
everyone is worried about how they look on<br />
social media and it’s affecting those who are most<br />
vulnerable and susceptible to toxic information:<br />
our daughters. It’s important for parents and<br />
caregivers to educate themselves on how to have<br />
the conversation with their children, utilising the<br />
tools available to them to make a positive and<br />
healthy impact.’<br />

HOW TO TALK TO KIDS<br />
ABOUT TOXIC<br />
BEAUTY ADVICE<br />
As 66% of young Aussie girls feel parents,<br />
carers and family members should be<br />
responsible for making them feel confident to<br />
use social media, Dove has collaborated with<br />
self-esteem expert Dr Phillippa Diedrichs to<br />
develop a four-step guide on how to talk to<br />
kids about toxic beauty advice.<br />
1. Prep<br />
Young girls would love for their parents to<br />
talk to them about how to manage idealised<br />
beauty content. Spend some time on popular<br />
social platforms and familiarise yourself with<br />
built-in safety functions and have a discussion<br />
with your kids.<br />
2. Chat<br />
Discuss those pieces of idealised beauty<br />
content by finding examples for your kids like<br />
searching for hashtags on TikTok or Instagram<br />
and ask what they think about the impact the<br />
content could have on young people’s ideas<br />
of beauty and self-esteem.<br />
3. Detox<br />
Spend 10 minutes together scrolling through<br />
their social media feed, showing them how<br />
to hide, unfollow or click ‘not interested’ on<br />
accounts that make them feel bad.<br />
4. Repeat<br />
To encourage new habits, speak to other<br />
parents, mentors and guardians to discuss<br />
ways to help and encourage weekly social<br />
media feed tune-ups.
60% OF YOUNG GIRLS IN<br />
AUSTRALIA WISHED THEY<br />
HAD INFORMATION ABOUT<br />
HOW TO AVOID OR DEAL<br />
WITH IDEALISED BEAUTY<br />
CONTENT.<br />
A CALL FOR HELP<br />
(AND WHERE TO GET IT)<br />
The report highlights the need for parents, educators and<br />
social media platforms to take action to promote positive<br />
body image and self-esteem among young people.<br />
Even though toxic beauty advice on social media is<br />
influencing young Australian girls, there is still the desire<br />
for information about how to help deal with idealised<br />
beauty content. Dove’s report found that 60% of young<br />
girls in Australia wished they had information about how to<br />
avoid or deal with idealised beauty content.<br />
Christine Weatherby, Dove Marketing Manager Australia,<br />
says, ‘It is our mission to empower young people to define<br />
their own beauty standards and not feel pressure to look<br />
like someone they see on social media. Sadly, our research<br />
uncovered that 1 in 2 Aussie girls follow influencers<br />
that make them feel less confident about themselves,<br />
showcasing the impact of toxic beauty advice on selfesteem.<br />
We want to arm parents, carers and educators<br />
with the tools they need to encourage young people to<br />
develop and maintain a healthy body image during the<br />
transition to adulthood.’<br />
Dove has a long-standing commitment to creating a<br />
world where beauty is a source of confidence, and not<br />
anxiety. The #DetoxYourFeed campaign is part of the<br />
ongoing work of The Dove Self-Esteem Project, the<br />
world’s largest provider of body confidence education<br />
globally, reaching more than 82 million young people<br />
across 150 countries through initiatives.<br />
The launch of the Confidence Kit has been part of<br />
Dove’s Self-Esteem Project, which aims to help 250<br />
million kids worldwide with self-esteem education by<br />
2030. In Australia, The Dove Self-Esteem Project has<br />
reached 2 million Aussie kids since 2006 and aims to<br />
reach 2.2 million by the end of 2023. CBM<br />
The Dove Self-Esteem Project, in partnership with The<br />
Butterfly Foundation, offers free tools and resources to<br />
help young people navigate social media and boost their<br />
self-esteem, including the downloadable Confidence Kit.<br />
