EDITOR’S LETTER It’s that time of the year when we start thinking of laying off the hot chocolates and comfort foods and shedding some of that extra winter layer. Summer is in our sights and we haven’t quite started to panic yet at the thought of baring ourselves on the beach – but it’s close!! On page 58, we simplify the diet mumbo-jumbo so you can wade through all the misinformation and myriad of diff erent food band-wagons, by retraining your brain and avoiding those fad diets, in time to lose weight for the warmer weather. It’s also that time of the year when our skin is crying out for moisture after the chilly, windy winter months. On page 101 we share our best beauty buys and tips to revive dehydrated post-winter skin. These days, the aesthetics industry is constantly evolving and, like fashion, trends come and go. Head to page 18 and fi nd out about the new trend in breast augmentation and why women are ditching the ‘bigger is better’ attitude. In line with this, beauty trends can also be quite confusing and the choice of skin care products can be overwhelming for the average person. Often we end up using the wrong products for our skin because we don’t know our own skin type. On page 40 we bring you expert advice on how to categorise your skin, what products you should be using and which ones you should avoid. The last few months have seen the Bella Media offi ce brimming with the latest and greatest products, including the must-have beauty staples in our Cult Classics (page 83), the best in bronzers and fake tan (page 110), and some luxurious bath and shower products (page 93) to help you unwind and step into relaxation mode. Visit us online and head to www.cosbeauty.com.au where you can download your free edition of this issue. You’ll also fi nd a heap of great beauty tips and tricks, Australia’s largest practitioner and product directory and weekly articles on beauty, cosmetic surgery, lifestyle and fi tness.
