we wish you a TRULY beautiful 2026
Beauty Bible HQ is back with you for the new year with all the usual news and views about looking and feeling the very best you can - from our completely independent perspective: no ads means no bias and we never take fees for name-checking products.
And for 2026 we’re celebrating 30 years of Beauty Bible with the launch in late summer of The Beauty Bible Iconic Edition, published by Pavilion Books (part of Harper Collins). We’ve been reading proofs and feeling that, actually, it’s – well – really rather good… We’ll keep you up to speed this year with that plus all the other celebrations for what’s been called a ‘Beauty Legend’.
Meanwhile, don’t forget to enter our extra special prize draw with a bumper line-up of our favourite treats for winter body, face and hair, value £400. It’s completely free to enter but, as we always say, you can’t win if you don’t enter…
Check out Sarah’s Health Notes to discover what’s on her mind, and waft over to Jo’s Scent Notes, to recap on her scent finds and loves.
And whenever you are beauty buying, please don’t forget to check in with our Beauty Bible Awards when you’re shopping for SKINCARE, BODYCARE, HAIRCARE, MAKE-UP, SUNCARE and TOOLS & DEVICES – our testers have given their verdicts, and we remain confident that these Awards really do offer a short-cut to products that truly work.
Remember: you can keep in touch with us via the CONTACT button at the top of the page, or click here. We always love hearing from you. Let us know your beauty ‘finds’ and concerns (including health ones) – if we can help we will.
Have a wonderful year!
With love,
TIP OF THE DAY
Tip of the Day
Warm a treatment oil or hair mask in the microwave for a few seconds before use, and it’ll penetrate more effectively. (Just a one-dose amount, though; you don’t want to microwave the tub or tube itself repeatedly.)
If a splinter is too tiny or too deep to remove with tweezers, avoid the agony of digging it out with a needle. Instead, cover the splinter with adhesive plaster. Leave for about three days, then remove the tape – and the splinter should come out painlessly.
If you’re still using cotton wool for cleansing, quit NOW: all it does is remove surface grime, advices superfacialist Sarah Chapman, who shares her absolute bottom-line advice on cleansing, here: ‘You need to massage an oil-based cleanser into the pores so it can mix with the natural sebum and grime and soften any blockages. Really use your fingertips and knuckles in brisk kneading and pinching motions. Once you’ve done that, splash with water, which liquefies the oil and lifts the excess out of the pores so it can be washed away.’
When blending cream shadows into the eyelid, use the third (ring) finger of the hand, which enables you to exert the least pressure without tugging on the skin of this very delicate zone.
If you’re unsteady of hand, don’t try using coloured polishes at home. You’re better off with clear or pale polish, where mistakes won’t be so obvious – brightly-coloured polish really needs to look even and perfect.
