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*…

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…

Attention, animal print lovers: this one’s for you. We obsessed over them back in 2019 - but tortoiseshell nails are *officially* back, and they are without a doubt (in our eyes anyway) the nail art trend of the season. Tortoiseshell was an absolute staple for any 90s or 00s gal (and still is for anyone still obsessed with 90s and 00s fashion - ourselves very much included). We wore it on everything from our sunglasses to our claw clips - and we’re pretty much back to doing all of that in 2021. Now, though, we’re also adding it to our…

This month, three of our amazing Treatwell team are taking part in Movember - a fantastic charity that raises money for men’s issues, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, suicide awareness, and men’s mental health issues. The rules? Start the month with a clean-shaven face, and grow a moustache for the whole of November. It’s pretty simple, but a great way to raise awareness for the charity, and for the vital causes that Movember supports. These issues face so many men, but there still exists a huge stigma around them, and a lot of men don’t feel comfortable talking about the…

It’s a confusing world of ‘coffins’ and ‘squovals’ out there, so we thought we’d clear things up. Turns out, there’s a science behind your nail shape: from lengthening short nails, to shapes that suit ‘wider’ fingers, there’s a style to suit everyone (though please don't start hating on your fingers, we're all beauties, no matter how large your knuckles may be). To brush up on your nail shape knowledge, and for a little inspiration pre-filing, here are the shapes to know. As for the colour – neutrals, pastels, nail art – we’ll leave that bit to you. By Rachel Spedding

Just like a slick suit or your fave pair of trainers - a good hairstyle can make all the difference to your look. You probably already have your go-to cut and style down to a T - but the colour? That’s another question entirely.  A good dye-job can transform your hair, but the world of hair colouring can be a tricky one to navigate for those with little experience (and even those who have dabbled before).  If you’re not sure where to start, or if you want to get to grips with the ins and outs of colouring before taking…

Halloween is fast approaching, and if you’re not one for dressing up, you’re likely experiencing the inevitable pre-party dread that comes along with anything remotely costume-related. Don’t worry - you’re not alone. For every Halloween enthusiast who thrives off of elaborate costumes, and every last-minute procrastinator who seems to pull off an incredible outfit in the eleventh hour - there’s another, more understated kind of person who believes less is more - and that’s okay.  If you can relate - then it might be time to consider what else you can do to get into the spirit of spooky season.…

Spooky season is officially here!! If you’re anything like us (read: obsessed with Halloween), then you’ve spent the past few weeks frantically searching for the perfect costume. We’ve already broken down our fave nail looks, as well as some killer makeup options - now it’s time to talk about hair.  Okay, we know what you’re thinking - maybe you’re not totally up for changing your hair colour for just one night. We get it - whilst we’re so here for those hardcore Halloween fans who dare to adopt a whole new hair look solely for the big eve, that option…

Halloween is around the corner, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve spent the majority of October racking your brain (and your Instagram feed) for the perfect makeup *look* for the big night.  And if, (also like me) you’re not exactly an expert with the ol’ brushes, it can be a bit of struggle to conjure up something that’s a) recognisable, b) easy to do, and c) still looks majorly cool. Plus, some of us just don’t fancy smothering our whole faces in paint à la Pennywise, and that’s okay.  Luckily, this year’s biggest trend for Halloween costumes and *looks*…

We love Halloween. Horror movie marathons, pumpkin carving, and crazy parties? Count us in. Honestly, though, the real star of spooky season (and all we’ve been thinking about for the past few weeks) is the perfect Halloween *look* - which of course isn’t complete without the perfect makeup, hair, and nails.   We know what you’re thinking. Whilst we’re obsessed with a good Halloween mani, spooky ghosts and adorable pumpkin-themed nails aren’t for everyone (no matter how cute they look). Fear not, though - if you’re not into the literal interpretation of Halloween nails, this doesn’t mean you (and your nails)…

So, you’ve left your Halloween costume to the last minute, yet again. We’ve all been there. We know it’s all too easy to focus on the ‘party’ part of ‘fancy-dress party’ (after all, that’s what Halloween is really about, isn’t it?). Still, you don’t want to be *that* guy who shows up without a costume - cue: the inevitable last-minute costume panic.  Luckily, though, there’s inspo all around - and some of the best costume ideas can come from the pop culture icons that we know and love. From classic memes and trending series, to nostalgic movies and music legends…

Is there any better way to usher in pumpkin-spiced-latte-and-halloween season than a fresh set of nails? And, because the colder weather has *very much* arrived - we’re craving some warm and fuzzy colours and textures. Enter: velvet nails.  Velvet nails were everywhere last winter, and unsurprisingly (because, duh - look how dreamy they are), they’re making a huge comeback this Autumn. There’s something about their luxe, fuzzy feel that makes them perfect for this time of year. Bonus? They transition perfectly into party season for that ever-so-slightly more ‘grown-up’ injection of sparkle.  Essentially, velvet nails are all about the illusion…

There’s nothing like a hair and beauty fix to soften the blow of the oncoming cold weather. Autumn’s here, and whilst the leaves are starting to fall - the beauty world has a tonne of new trends for us to drool over. We’ve scoured fashion weeks, street styles (and of course, our Insta feeds) to bring you the biggest beauty trends of Autumn 2021. We’re not sure about you, but we can’t wait to try them.

Okay, I know, I know - auburn? For Autumn? Groundbreaking. We’ve seen it all before - the longing for autumnal auburn hair returns every time the leaves start to fall, and exquisite orange heads of hair seem to be popping up everywhere. (Just ask TikTok, where #gingerhair is currently trending with over 100 million views).  And yet, I’m just as in love with it this year as I have been in years gone by. There’s something about gorgeous ginger locks (and converting to them) that just feels so right this time of year. I think it might have something to…

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times: a good pair of killer brows have the power to completely change your face. They accentuate the eyes, frame and add definition to the face, and can also totally alter your face shape. Plus, they play a huge role in communication (just look at how emotive this guy is - 🤨). It’s no surprise then, that we as a society are kind of obsessed with eyebrows - from threading to waxing, tinting to lamination, there’s a seemingly endless list of ways we choose to preen and primp our brows.…

Okay, I’m the first to admit that although I love getting my nails done (gels, acrylics, BIAB - you name it, I’ve done it), I haven’t always invested as much time, effort, or money into the ‘removal’ side of things. Yep, I have vivid (and scarring) memories of peeling off my acrylics and gels, thinking it would be easier and quicker than leaving it to the pros - and of course, my nails being left in a frankly abominable state. Maybe you can relate. Or maybe, even more upsettingly, you’ve done the responsible thing and entrusted the removal to pro…

So, you fancy a wax? Whether you're a first-time waxer or a seasoned pro, it can be a daunting experience - but don't fret. Sure, a stranger is about to get pretty up close and personal, and might even see you in the buff (depending on what you're waxing, of course). Honestly, though, they’ve seen it all before (and there’s no judgement around these parts). If that’s not enough to allay your fears, this will: our answers to the most FAWQs (frequently asked wax queries). Practical tips to minimise stress, so instead of tensing up while on the salon bed, you…

So, you finally managed to spend some time in the sun this summer - or better yet, you actually managed a real-life, on-the-beach, summer holiday this year (lucky you!) Whilst this might have been a dream come true for your mind and soul, your body might be telling a *slightly* different story. Sun, sea, and classic summer over-indulgence (whether that’s pasta and wine on your hols or picnics and tinnies in the park) can play havoc with your body. Chapped heels, dry hair, and sunburnt skin, anyone? So, if you’re feeling the post-hol blues in more ways than one, these…

And, just like that, Summer is pretty much over. Holidays, long days, and back garden barbecues are feeling like a distant memory (which probably isn’t helped by the fact we had approx. 1 week of real sunshine this whole season). Honestly though, we’re not mad about the oncoming of Autumn. Sweater weather, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and Halloween? Yes please.  Plus, it’s an excuse to revamp our wardrobes, hair, and beauty - and what’s not to love about that? This season in nails, we’re loving muted colours with neutral overtones, as well as unexpected brights and pops of colour. Here are…

From smearing Vaseline on your eyes to massaging your lash line, there are a tonne of methods out there that promise to bestow upon us the gift of long, fluttery lashes. If you’ve tried all of the at-home tips and tricks that the internet has to offer, and nothing seems to work - it might be time to change your approach.  Lemon juice and petroleum jelly aside (and yes, those are real tips we’ve read but please don’t try them at home) - here are four tips for longer lashes that *actually* work.
