As the temperatures drop and the air gets drier, your skin and senses deserve a little extra TLC. Winter has a way of stealing moisture from the skin and dulling that usual glow, but it doesn't have to.
This season, it's all about restoring radiance and wrapping yourself in warmth, starting with two essentials: the new Vaseline Cera-Glow range and the timeless Chanel Chance perfume.
Skin First: Lock In That Winter Glow
Dry, flaky skin is one of winter's most unwelcome guests. That's where the new Vaseline Cera-Glow range steps in.

Infused with ceramides and Vaseline Jelly, this range is designed to deeply hydrate while strengthening the skin's moisture barrier. Unlike heavier winter creams that can feel greasy, Cera-Glow absorbs beautifully and leaves your skin soft, supple, and luminous.
Instead of just bringing the viral Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Gel Oil to Mzansi, they have made one specifically for South African skin.
Containing replenishing oil and natural oils (Vit E and almond oil) for soft and radiant skin. In addition, it is uniquely powered by pro-ceramides for a stronger skin barrier and a healthy glow.
It's the perfect daily dose of glow your winter skin craves and the subtle, clean scent means it won't clash with your signature fragrance.
Fragrance Finish
Once your skin is moisturised, don't forget the finishing touch: a spritz of Chanel Chance. This elegant, floral fragrance adds a playful sophistication to your winter beauty routine.

With notes of pink pepper, jasmine, and patchouli, Chanel Chance is vibrant but not overpowering, making it ideal for those who love to smell good without being too loud.
"The scent lingers gently on scarves and sweaters, leaving a trail of allure wherever you go," said Olivier Polge Chanel In-House Perfumer-Creator
"The original idea behind Chance was a state of mind that we interpreted in very different styles.
A new colour in the Chance palette. After pink, green, yellow and orange comes purple. The shade of magic and lightness tinged with mystery and nobility. Rebellious energy conceals depth and dazzling power behind its capers. This new creation by Polge is a marvel of paradoxes.
Pro Tip: For a longer-lasting fragrance, apply your fragrance to your pulse points right after moisturising. Hydrated skin holds the scent better, so this combo is more than just a luxury, it's smart layering.

Da Capo's journey: from local beats to global stages
Legendary South African DJ and producer, Da Capo, is the debut cover star of Apple Music inaugural Isgubhu DJ Mixs series, cementing his status as one of the world's finest purveyors of Afro-House music. Image: Supplied/Rage Inc Productions South African DJ and music producer Da Capo is not just spinning tracks; he's spinning the narrative for a new generation of African dance music artists making global waves. The legendary DJ and producer, Da Capo, is the debut cover star of Apple Music's inaugural Isgubhu DJ Mix series. 'It's a platform for aspiring DJs and artists. We tell our stories and share our experiences, especially with how far African dance and electronic music have come globally,' he reflects. Once best known for local bangers like 'Found You' and 'Secret ID', Da Capo has since taken his sound international, and the journey hasn't been without its turbulence. Breaking into the European market with his blend of African dance and electronic music wasn't easy. 'Our sound was still very new to a lot of people overseas. But now it's gone mainstream. Seeing my brothers, the pioneers of this sound, playing on global stages is my proudest moment.' Raised in a South African music landscape that reverberated with compilations from the likes of DJ Fresh and Oskido, Da Capo's musical influences are deeply rooted in house culture. 'Back then, those compilation albums had everything, from deep house to Afro house. Over time, I found myself drawn to the Afro side. That rhythm and spirit just pulled at my heart.' He acknowledges the ongoing debate over the blurred lines between subgenres, noting that how one interprets the music depends largely on personal experience. 'There's deep house, Afro house, tech house and people still don't always know what's what. But it's all about how you hear it and how it speaks to you.' In the early 2000s, Da Capo discovered his passion for music production by digging deep into Chicago house and soulful influences from artists like Osunlade, Jihad Muhammad, and Nick Holder. 'We used to buy music on Tracksource and Beatport, long before Apple Music or Spotify. It was a whole era. That's where I learned, where I found my sound.' Fast-forward to today, and producers like Da Capo are no longer hidden behind the scenes. As the music industry has evolved, producers are stepping into the spotlight and rightfully so. 'Back then, people didn't always know who produced what. Now, fans want to see the people behind the sound. They want us to tell our stories too.' Having signed his first record deal at a young age, Da Capo admits he's learned the hard way about the business of music. 'I've had good and bad experiences. But I've taken everything as a learning curve. Now I have a young, dedicated team to handle the business side while I focus on the music.' His latest project, whether you call it an album or a compilation, is a body of work nearly a decade in the making. 'I worked on this for more than seven years, trying to find a new sound. Music changes with the times, and I wanted this project to reflect that evolution.' The album features a diverse range of collaborators, including the likes of Elaine and Mawhoo, artists who have influenced and inspired him deeply. 'I'm a fan of every artist I featured. It was important to work with people who have shaped me and to share that energy.' Da Capo's international tour schedule is packed, from Singapore to New York, and at this point, he doesn't even bother unpacking his suitcase anymore. 'You have to show people overseas that you're worthy of being booked. It's been amazing to tell our story through our music to audiences around the world.' His Isgubhu mix is a testament to that. With a curated set of ten tracks, Da Capo's balanced exclusives with released material, in collaboration with Apple Music's strict curation standards. 'Mixes are storytelling tools. People care about transitions now more than ever. One bad blend, and you're getting roasted online,' he laughs. 'It's not just about popular music, it's about how you piece it together.' And piece it together, he has, Da Capo is making sure the world hears and feels the heartbeat of African dance music. IOL Entertainment

Tyla unveils her musical evolution and teases 'Chanel' in exclusive 'Variety' cover story
Tyla reflects on her journey and the bold new direction of her upcoming sophomore album. Image: X/@Variety Fresh off the release of her four-track mixtape 'We Wanna Party' and a whirlwind half-year of success, Tyla is showing no signs of slowing down. The 23-year-old Grammy-winning artist graced the latest cover of 'Variety' as one of this year's 'Power of Young Hollywood' honourees, and, in her feature interview, she opened up about her next musical chapter. According to 'Variety', Tyla is gearing up to drop a new Amapiano single titled 'Chanel' later this year, with her sophomore album expected to follow. Previously, she celebrated the launch of her 'We Wanna Party' mixtape in London and Berlin ahead of its release and revealed songs that would be featured; 'Chanel' was one of them, but it ultimately did not make it to the mixtape.

Next Stay Close ✕ She also shed light on the creation of her sophomore album, revealing that it was recorded across various cities, including Los Angeles and Barcelona. The new body of work sees the South African-born star embracing a global perspective, experimenting with fresh sounds such as rap and reggaeton. 'I had more time to work on this album than I did the first, so I have a lot of songs,' she said. 'It feels really current, and this time, I'm living what I'm singing; it feels way more personal. Way more like me.' The yet-to-be-titled second album is still in progress, with Tyla currently finalising the track list from a growing pool of hits. In July, she gave fans a taste of her evolving sound with 'We Wanna Party', a mixtape that includes chart-soaring songs like 'Mr. Media', 'Dynamite' and 'Is It'. Tyla told 'Variety' that she wanted to release music that reflected her present moment as an artist, something bold, high-impact and unapologetic. 'I wanted something loud, aggressive, and worthy of summer. 'Mr Media' had to come out before the album, I needed to express those thoughts first,' she said. ''We Wanna Party' is the bridge. When the album drops, it's going to be a completely different vibe than what people are expecting,' Tyla added. This new creative era aligns with the recognition she is receiving beyond music as one of the magazine's 2025 'Power of Young Hollywood' honourees, alongside 'Stranger Things' actor Finn Wolfhard and 'The White Lotus' star Sam Nivola. Tyla is being celebrated not just for her breakout success but for her growing influence across entertainment and pop culture.
