What are the benefits? Facial acupuncture is a great non-surgical alternative for slowing down the ageing process. Vivienne, owner of Primo Herb, explains, “facial acupuncture increases circulation in the face and promotes collagen production” - two key factors in achieving youthful-looking skin. The micro-wounds left by the needles kickstart the regeneration process and increase blood flow and oxygen, keeping the skin from looking puffy or tired.    What actually happens in an acupuncture session?  It’s not just about sticking needles into your skin, willy-nilly, so don’t try it at home. Before your treatment starts, your therapist will discuss your skin’s…

The verdict is in: the official Pantone colour of the year has been revealed, and pretty much everyone (us very much included) is already suitably obsessed. ‘Very Peri’ also known as PANTONE 17-3938, is a fun, lush shade described by Pantone as “a dynamic periwinkle blue hue with a vivifying violet-red undertone.” Pantone’s Colour of the year is all about reflecting “what is taking place in our global culture”, and essentially predicting the vibe for the year ahead. According to them, Very Peri displays a “spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expression,” and “helps…

We have a few go-to’s when it comes to beauty advice. Our stylists, obviously, that friend who’s always trying the newest miracle ingredients - and now, Reddit (yep, that’s the social media platform with forums on literally everything under the sun) and TikTok. They both have thriving communities of hair, beauty and skincare obsessives.  In this series, we'll be sharing the need-to-know tips and tricks we found from hours (and hours) of scrolling. Consider this your hair and beauty school cop-out (see what we did there?).  WRITTEN BY Beth Ludolf

This year, let’s think less about ‘giving up’, and more about embracing new stuff (not sipping cider vinegar). Simple things, like breathing in fresh genuine air, without the pressure of committing to ‘meditation’. A walk in the park vs. an hour sat in silence. A juicy glass of water vs. no wine for two months. ‘Detox’ gets your attention, but these six simple things will leave you feeling great. By Rachel Spedding

If you’d have asked me a couple of years ago to name three styles I would have put money on *not* coming back into fashion, I would pretty easily have chosen juicy tracksuits, crocs, and (most definitely) the mullet. Cut to today: Juicy tracksuits are a fave of every insta baddie from Kylie Jenner and Addison Rae to Bimini Bon Boulash. Crocs are a staple look for Justin Bieber and Post Malone. And (most shockingly of all), the mullet is pretty much officially the coolest hairstyle out there – and I’m 100% here for it. Whilst the rise of the…

The countdown is over, the clock has struck midnight, and - like every year - we’ve all woken up with a bit (read: a lot) of a hangover, and an endless list of new projects and resolutions in our heads for the new year. Will it be the frankly draconian diet that leaves you desperately raiding the fridge at 1 am after 2 days? Or the commitment to a morning meditation that promptly gets canceled in favour of a few extra minutes in bed? Or - shudder - will it be the annual Dry January attempt that prompts a few…

It's January, which means a whole bunch of us are tackling Veganuary - the annual challenge to adopt a plant-based lifestyle for the month of Jan in order to better our planet (and ourselves). But, despite the supposed ease of switching an everyday diet for vegan alternatives, assessing our beauty routine can take a little more work, as brands continue to guard manufacturing practices and, well, ingredients. So, whether you're committing full-time, or just trying to do your bit where you can (every little helps, after all), here are some simple switches you can make to vegan-ify your hair and beauty…

Already huge across the pond, a fave of US celebs and influencers alike, and (hoorah) finally making its way across to blighty - the HydraFacial is primed and ready to be the next big thing when it comes to skincare. And honestly? We can see why. It’s more powerful than a classic facial - but not as radical as injections. And, of course, it promises exceptional results. As beauty addicts and devout skincare followers - we just had to know more. By Beth

The best thing about festive season? Sitting in front of the fire with a hot chocolate (with Baileys, if you please), and a classic Christmas film. The second best thing? Getting your nails done for the festive season (if you ask us, anyway).  We’ve combined our two Christmas loves, and have worked out exactly what your all-time fave Christmas film says about you - and what festive mani you should get to match. Time to get in the spirit.  By Beth Ryan    

Barber! A pint, please!  We all have our routine when it comes to maintenance - maybe you’ve been visiting the same barber every month for your whole life, or maybe you try and get in and out as quick as poss when the time comes around. But, what if we told you that this could all change? What if, and hear us out, your trip to the barber became more than a haircut: a chance to unwind, socialise, and yep - even have a beer or two.  This year, we’ve decided to upgrade our trips to the barbers, and try…

Has anyone else felt the inexplicable urge to cover themselves in sequins, glitter, and all things sparkly this year? Because same. Turns out - the fashion weeks of AW21 called it early - Out Out is back (in terms of beauty and fashion, at least) - which means the return of full-on glam - hoorah! And let’s be honest, a little dose of sparkle and joy is *exactly* what we need right now.  We’ve already seen this reflected in our hair and makeup - so it makes sense that the biggest nail trend of the season would follow suit. Cue:…

When it comes to Christmas (and life in general, if I’m totally honest), I’m kind of like a magpie - if it sparkles or shines, I’m immediately drawn to it. So, when I saw TikTok’s latest viral hair trend - an official revival of 90s hair tinsel - I was immediately obsessed.  It’s uber-festive, majorly *extra*, and the perfect accessory for party season. Plus, Queen Beyoncé herself has worn the look. Need I say more?  By Beth

We all know that the holidays can be *kind of* stressful – especially when it comes to finding the perfect gifts for your nearest and dearest. Luckily, some of the best gifts out there don’t even require getting up from the sofa to buy. Yep, we’re talking beauty and wellness gifts (let’s be real – is there anything better than the gift of relaxation and indulgence? We think not.) We’ve compiled the ultimate guide to the best beauty & wellness gifts out there, so you can start crossing out names from your list and focus on what Christmas is *really*…

It’s fair to say that our social lives have taken a bit of a hit over the past two years, and getting glammed-up has definitely not been top of the to-do list. And whilst we’ve loved the freedom of skinimalism, staying-in, and living makeup free - we’re more than ready for a change.  Yep, we’re calling it: glam is back for party season, and we’re going all out. We’re talking festive manis, bouncy blow dries, and of course, some killer makeup looks. This year, we’re loving oh-so-extra eye looks (after all, face masks are still a thing). From rich jewel…

Let’s face it - the past year (or two) kind of put a lot of things on the backburner. Summer holidays, parties, and, (sigh), even Christmas - it’s fair to say our social lives have taken a bit of a hit. All that has meant one thing for sure - getting glammed up has decidedly not been top of our to-do list. And, whilst we’ve loved the makeup-free life, the putting off of hair washing for yet another day, and the endless rotation of comfy clothes - it’s time for a change.  Yep - we’re calling it: glam is back.…

It’s December (!!) which means we can finally start watching Christmas movies, eating mince pies, and listening to Mariah Carey on repeat (okay, we’ll admit that we’ve been doing all of this since Halloween but at least it’s now a *tad* less embarrassing).  Yep, Christmas is approaching fast, and (in case you couldn’t tell) we’re just a little excited. Of course, we’re eagerly anticipating the reunions with friends, the incredible Christmas dinners, and the - hopefully plentiful - mulled wines. However - is it weird to say we’re almost as excited for our annual festive mani? (We said almost -…

We’re all pretty well-versed on the skincare changes we should make in the winter months - two words: more moisturising, and ‘lip balm’, come to think of it - but do you pay the same amount of attention to your haircare? Much like our skin, our hair needs more moisture during winter. The colder temperatures outdoors and the central heating indoors make the air much dryer which lifts the hair cuticle, letting moisture out more easily and leaving the hair dry and frizzy. Here are some of the changes you should make to your hair routine during the winter.

Ah, Christmas. Time with family, movies in bed, and hot chocolate by the fireplace - the festive season could be pure bliss - in theory. Instead, we’ve got endless amounts of planning, parties, and present-buying to worry about - decidedly un-bliss, if you ask us. Not to mention, there’s the prepping of yourself to think about - after all, what’s Christmas without a bit of self-care, a whole lot of treating yourself, and a good old dose of *glam*.  If you can’t quite bring yourself to start another lot of festive planning - we feel you. Luckily, when it comes…

Alas, masks are back, which means the return of the dreaded 'maskne' (and just in time for Christmas - thanks a lot, COVID). Luckily, we’ve broken down how to protect and care for our skin while rolling with the new normal. By Beth Ludolf

Days are getting shorter, temperatures are dropping, and we’ve all dug out our favourite fuzzy jumpers from the back of the wardrobe. All of which can mean only one thing: Winter is upon us. Yep, warm, sunny days are a distant memory (did they happen at all?) and tbh, we’re pretty excited to make the most of the cold - we’re talking hot chocolates, cozy blankets - the lot.  The downside? Winter brings with it a whole host of hair and beauty woes. Aside from the classic cold-weather-skin and rain-induced frizzy hair, there’s of course the inevitable issue of the…

Scarves! Scarves! We can finally wear scarves! Yep, the UK has succumbed to its natural state, and we’re back in freezing temperatures. But with great knitwear, comes great changes to our beauty routine. Our skin’s getting drier, our lips more chapped, and our usual moisturiser just isn’t cutting the mustard. Winter is upon us – here’s what you can do to save your skin. By Rachel Spedding

November - the month of the moustache for many a brave chap (including three of our very own Treatwell-ers) who fancy tackling the challenge to raise money and awareness for men’s issues. Yep, that’s right. Get ready to see an inordinate amount of facial hair coming your way - all in the name of prostate and testicular cancer, suicide awareness, and mental health - very worthy causes, we think you’ll agree.  For those new to the ‘tache though - it can be a challenge in itself to know where to start with your new look. Fear not - we’ve broken…
