ADAPTOGENS

Used in ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for centuries, adaptogenic herbs, so-called ‘bio-correctors’, are popping up in skincare to mitigate the effects of stress and pollution. Dr Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Soothing Hydra-Mist, £22 (2), uses reishi mushrooms and Adaptology Red Avert Moisturiser, £44 (1), contains chaga mushrooms.

BLUNT ENDS

As seen on the Chanel, Victoria Beckham and Acne catwalks, choppy, one-length cuts are having a renaissance. If you’re wondering whether this might be the look for you, Rikki Thomas, style director at Daniel Galvin salons, says, “It’s a clever way to add thickness to fine hair, and blunt ends suit textured and curly hair just as well”. So now you don’t have to go short to get something that looks quite statement.
