THE NEW NORMAL
From Zoom meetings to workout wear becoming legitimate (home) office attire, a lot has changed in our day-to-day during the 2020 lockdown. But no-one could have guessed how abruptly our beauty routines would do an about-face.

And for many of us, our new-found beauty hacks and rituals became more than just skin deep. With nowhere to go and nothing but FaceTime calls to tap us back into our social networks, 15 minutes under a sheet mask or waiting for a hair treatment to soak into our strands became a way to feel better amid a global crisis. As we settle into our new routines, we talk to the experts to find out just how different our beauty future looks.
