It’s a brand-new year, and with it comes the need for new beauty essentials that will up our selfcare game. Farah Baig rounds up her top recommendations for the month, including two phenomenal anti-aging products that will turn back the hands of time in 2024.
True Radiance with Chanel
Start your year with a radiant glow and some luck on your side with Les Symboles De Chanel – a unique set of luxurious highlighters.
With Les Symboles De Chanel collection, the Chanel Makeup Creation Studio has reimagined five iconic symbols as precious highlighters that will have you glowing. Le Lion, La Comete, Le Camelia, Les Perles and Les Chaines become three subtle and sophisticated shades: Warm Gold, Precious Coral and Pearly White. Offering sparkling shimmer designed to illuminate and enhance the complexion and your future. Illuminate the complexion and reveal the radiance of those who wear them.
What’s the story behind this iconic collection? Well, the iconic Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel believed that keeping talismans close was a reliable way to keep luck on your side. These symbols that Gabrielle Chanel wholeheartedly believed shaped her destiny have since become iconic. Lions, wheat, comets, cammelias, numbers… She was as talented as she was superstitious and she surrounded herself with objects and symbols. These talismans gave her the freedom to achieve her dreams; inspiration for the designs in her collections, strokes of genius that led her to her most iconic signature styles and the strength to embrace her destiny.

Your Anti-aging Secret Age Proteom™
Discover the remarkable scientific breakthrough in cell longevity, presented by NAOS, the Age Proteom™ Advanced Serum. This revolutionary serum promises to slow down the aging process like never before, and is said to tighten the skin by 83 percent to maintain a long-term youthful look.
With time and harsh external factors, proteins break down and all our cellular mechanisms slow down. Age Proteom™ is the only product capable of protecting this proteome: it tackles aging at its very source. Age Proteom™ leverages the resilience of antioxidant chaperone molecules derived from a quasi-immortal microorganism. This cutting-edge, patented biotechnology, developed by NAOS’s advanced research team, effectively preserves, and strengthens the skin’s proteome, resulting in visibly transformed skin. The skin ages twice slower, and all signs of aging are visibly and lastingly improved after just one month.
After just one month of use, clinical trial participants experienced a visible transformation in their skin’s firmness and overall appearance with reports of radiance, firmness, evenness, density and less wrinkles. Being better protected, the skin recovers more quickly and looks regenerated with even better results achieved after six months of use.
Age Proteom™ is an ultra-sensory formula with a serum-milk texture that is suitable for all skin types, and offers a comprehensive approach to anti-aging, restoring firmness, tone, radiance, evenness, and density.

Hask Refreshes Your Tresses Between Wash Days
Ladies, we’ve found the holy grail product for fresh and fabulous hair. We all love that fresh, clean hair feel after a wash, but daily shampooing isn’t always an option in today’s fast-paced world. Skipping a shampoo day to make a blowout last longer or even protect hair colour is also a very normal thing for many. However, this could lead to flat hair, frizzy ends, or limp curls between washes.
Give your hair a quick refresh and reset between wash days with HASK Dry Shampoo. HASK has four fabulous Dry Shampoos offering lightweight, ultra-fine rice starch formulas to instantly absorb sweat and oil and keep your hairstyle lasting as long as possible. Pro hair stylist, Camille Friend, swears by dry shampoo, which is known for refreshing and boosting roots. After spraying this fab dry shampoo on your roots, massage it into your scalp, flip your head over and tweak with an iron if you need to.
