Murad are about to launch their new Intense Recovery Cream (£68) a clinically proven, ultra-rich cream which encourages the recovery of super stressed-out skin. It hydrates to deeply moisturise even severely dry skin; soothes skin by relieving redness and signs of sensitivity; and smooths skin by reducing the appearance of stress-induced ageing and expression lines on the face and around the eyes. The formulation includes shea butter, macadamia oil, mirabilis jalapa plant extract and microalgae extract and is perfect for skin that is impacted by constant mask-wearing. Signs of stress on the skin can be triggered by lifestyle factors such as fatigue, emotional stress and digital screen time; environmental factors like the heat, cold or allergies; and even skincare factors including overusing peels and exfoliants. They can result in dry, irritated, red skin, as well as exaggerated expression lines and dark circles under the eyes. Stress can also disturb skin’s water balance, leading to extreme dryness and dehydration. Intense Recovery Cream melts into the skin upon application, immediately hydrating and nourishing dry skin, while comforting and soothing stressed skin for a calmer, more resilient complexion. Available February 2021 from murad, selfridges and johnlewis as well as partner spas and salons nationwide.

E.A.T.O.W. (Embracing All Tones of Women) is a platform that connects members to high achievers in the beauty, arts and entertainment industries to gain insight and knowledge into their success. Founded by Eryca Freemantle, a world-leading brand beauty strategist, E.A.T.O.W. teaches women of colour the tools and skills they need to fully embrace their power to fulfil their potential and supercharge their careers, within a community that promotes, highlights and showcases women of colour in the makeup industry.
The E.A.T.O.W. Awards will be taking place this year, aiming to raise the profiles, encourage, embrace and motivate women of colour in the makeup industry. Eryca developed the Awards as mainstream businesses were still not acknowledging the work of black women in the makeup industry. The makeup artist awards are different to any other out there Eryca explains. “It will be online for the most part, assignment based (just like doing an assessment at university or for a job) it is multiple choice questions and answers which creates a level playing field for all who become members of this unique community. The finals will be held at Errol Douglas Hair Studio in Knightsbridge London and streamed to 2 million viewers across Africa.” For more information go to the eatow website.
The Hair and Beauty Charity are still working to support those that need their help. They have had just over £250,000 donated recently from professional beauty expert, Caroline Hirons and the Beauty Backed campaign. They have funds available for those people who do need their help; ask them if you need support.
They are a small charity and have to prioritise assistance to those who need it most urgently. Priority will be given to households where only one adult (working within the industry) provides the only income to the household (e.g. if you live with your partner who will still receive an employed wage, priority will be given to single parent families whose only income is dependent on their hair/beauty industry wage). Visit their website for more information and to make an application.
