Whilst the theatre industry remained shut back in 2020, two West End performers launched AKT Deodorant Balm (£19), their very own (now award-winning) natural deodorant brand.  Unable to find a product that could handle the heat of stage lights, they devised their own deodorant balm. It is born to perform, being the most effective solution to continuous failing antiperspirants. With even the brands’ typography being inspired by iconic theatre billboards, AKT is a collaboration of theatre, personal hygiene, and self-care.  All-vegan, gender-neutral, natural, plastic-free deodorant brand – that is tested on performers, not animals. Plastic-free packaging with aluminium for durability, portability, and recyclability. Available in three fragrances, with discounts for joining the subscription programme on their website.  Available from aktlondon, Soho Farmhouse, John Bell & Croyden and Earl of East.

The Ages of our Skin” features a studio interview with skin experts Consultant Dermatologist Dr Anjali Mahto and the British Skin Foundation CEO Matthew Patey discussing skin concerns across the ages, deceleration of the ageing process, and the work the British Skin Foundation are doing to address the minefield of information and misinformation available. The programme also includes a film from the British Skin Foundation with Consultant Dermatologist Dr Emma Wedgeworth showing how the body’s largest organ can be affected across the ages, alongside five reporter-led films from Ameliorate, Boots, Dermal, Olay and Sanofi.

The Health and Care Act 2022, which received royal assent in April, gave the Government powers to bring forward a licensing scheme for beauty practitioners who operate in England. This will be introduced in via secondary legislation and, once in force, will make it an offence to perform particular procedures without a license.  However, details around how the licensing scheme will work is to be decided by separate legislation in the coming years, with the  British Beauty Council working alongside the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners and others to assist in drafting this legislation with Government.

In order to make the process of transition seamless, the Council is launching a series of tools intended to equip practitioners and consumers with all the information for best practice whilst performing and undergoing procedures now; as well as what might be to come.

Victoria Brownlie, Chief Policy Officer at the British Beauty Council commented “As an industry worth billions (last valued at £3.6 billion in 2015 and growing year on year) it is important to ensure those choosing treatments can do so safely and with confidence. The legislation is being introduced to reduce the risk of harm to the public caused by badly performed non-surgical cosmetic procedures and ensure a level playing field on standards of practice.”  More information is available on the British Beauty Council’s website.
