Kim Kardashian's New 'Facewear' Promises To Snatch Your Jawline While You Sleep
Who doesn't want to wake up with a snatched jawline, or at least like your last night's pizza regrets are erased? Well, Kim Kardashian's new product thinks it can help. Her brand SKIMS, that made her a billionaire, has just launched the Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap, the first-of-its-kind "face shapewear" priced at roughly Rs 4,000. It is also SKIMS's first ever beauty product. The pitch? A lifted neck, sharper jawline, and the illusion of eight hours of sleep; all while you binge Netflix in bed. It features the brand's signature sculpting fabric and collagen-infused yarns, and it fastens with Velcro for that snug, supported fit. Available in two shades (Clay and Cocoa), the product sold out within hours of launch. It is also going viral on social media. Anthony Hopkins In Kim K's Mask Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins has brought back the iconic Hannibal Lecter persona, thanks to this shapewear that closely resembles the face mask Lecter wore in the 1991 classic The Silence of the Lambs to keep him from biting anyone who got too close. In a cheeky Instagram video, Hopkins says, "Hello Kim, I'm already feeling 10 years younger," with a caption: "Thank you, Kim. Don't be afraid to come over for dinner." Have a look at the video: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anthony Hopkins (@anthonyhopkins) From Post Facial Surgeries To Kardashian's New Launch The concept of facial compression is anything but new (Sorry Kim K). For years, similar wraps have been used post-facial surgeries to reduce swelling and provide structure during recovery. Asian beauty routines in particular have long featured shaping bands and chin straps as part of daily regimens. In the last few months, the product seems to be making a noise on Instagram. This trend on Instagram is thanks to the "morning shed" trend, where influencers record themselves unravelling a series of gadgets and potions they slept in - from silk bonnets to LED face masks and now, chin wraps. It's part skincare, part theatre. And now, a Kardashian is in the mix to make money. But does this wrap actually do anything beyond creating content? What It Claims According to SKIMS, the wrap helps sculpt the face, reduce puffiness, and even mimic a good night's sleep. It's pitched as an overnight beauty aid that lifts, shapes, and supports the jawline and chin through soft compression. View this post on Instagram A post shared by SKIMS (@skims) In short: it's a facewear. What The Experts Are Saying Dr Aparna Santhanam, a holistic wellness expert and a consultant dermatologist from New Delhi explains that compression garments like this can offer temporary contouring by redistributing fluid and providing structural support, much like what doctors use post-surgically or after energy-based procedures. "But they don't sculpt fat or tighten skin in a permanent way. The idea of a 'snatched' jawline is more aesthetic than anatomical," she adds. A 2013 study in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found compression post-procedure can reduce swelling and bruising. Dr Shifa Yadav, Consultant Dermatologist at Artemis Hospitals, says the collagen yarns are what make this wrap stand out. "Its signature sculpting fabric supports the jawline. Over time, this gentle firmness may help circulation, reduce swelling, and make skin more elastic," she says. Still, she also adds that this may temporarily improve the shape of your face, but the results won't last and depend on usage and your skin type. "It's not a replacement for facial exercises or clinical treatments, but it can be a non-invasive add-on to your skincare routine," she adds. Moreover, it comes with tons of side effects. What Could Go Wrong? Dr Santhanam explains that, "Facial compression may offer short-term definition and aid in healing after surgery, but overuse or improper fit can impair lymphatic drainage, irritate skin, and even impact TMJ comfort." Moreover, she also warns that compression garments create a warm, moist environment, perfect for bacteria. "Prolonged wear, especially more than 4-6 hours, can cause acne, dermatitis, pressure injuries, or allergic reactions," she says. While most users won't see side effects if used correctly, Dr Yadav says, but she warns against overenthusiasm: "Wearing tight compression for too long can irritate skin, cause discomfort, or leave indentations. People with sensitive skin should proceed with caution," she says. Dr Ajay Rana, Founder And Director of ILAMED and Dermatologist and Aesthetic Physician further says that it can trigger skin reactions such as: Tingling or itching sensations Redness Dryness Peeling of the skin Rashes Hives Swelling of the face Experts also suggest that if you want permanent results it is best to go for a dermatologist first. Bottomline The SKIMS face wrap isn't a scam, but it's not a surgical alternative either. It works much like Spanx: great for the illusion, temporary for the transformation. It may help drain puffiness, support tissue after procedures, or offer a little bedtime ritual comfort. But reshape your face forever? Not really.

How swimwear is taking a daring dive back to the 80s with thin gussets and sky-high cuts
Forget full briefs or bikini shorts, everywhere you look at the moment, from M&S to New Look and Primark, has hip-high cuts SWIMCREDIBLE How swimwear is taking a daring dive back to the 80s with thin gussets and sky-high cuts SWIMWEAR trends, like every other part of fashion, come and go in waves. And this year we seem to be revisiting the '80s with super-high-cut bikini lines sure to leave you needing a Hollywood wax. 5 Former Love Islander Maura Higgins shows off her svelte figure in a barely-there bikini with a high cut 5 Kim K unveiled her latest Skims collaboration featuring a super-high-cut animal-print one-piece Credit: Instagram/KimKardashian First made famous in that decade by supermodels such as Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson and Christy Turlington, wedgie- inducing swimwear is back. And this time round, it's not just for celebs and reality telly stars - the high street is pushing us mere mortals to tackle thin gussets, too. Forget full briefs or bikini shorts, everywhere you look at the moment, from M&S to New Look and Primark, has hip-high cuts and bum-cheek-exposing cossies. With Love Island back on our screens and the women scantily clad in swimwear every episode, we expected to see a resurgence of the V-cut gusset. And last week Kim Kardashian, 44, unveiled her latest Skims collaboration with Italian brand Roberto Cavalli, featuring a super-high-cut animal-print one-piece. Meanwhile, sister Kylie, 27, stepped out in a vintage Chanel swimsuit, with a sky-high cut, first worn by Claudia Schiffer in 1995. Just a few weeks ago Miami Swim Week — the pinnacle of all swimsuit catwalks — saw a host of high V cuts, with TikTok sensation Alix Earle, 24, strutting down the runway in a barely-there bikini. Model Iris Law, 24, recently wore a black high-cut swimsuit, and former Love Islanders Maura Higgins, 34 and Zara McDermott, 28, have been showing off their svelte figures in them, too. Gusset gauge Host of the reality show Maya Jama, 30, has also been spotted wearing a barely-there bikini while on holiday this year. Of course, these women all looked phenomenal, but for the rest of us enjoying a break on the Costa Del Sol or taking a dip at the local swimming pool, it's not an easy look to pull off. Alisha Lehmann shows off her bikini body as she models new swimwear range Aside from the obvious extremely bare bikini line you need to have, there's also the probability you'll spend all your holiday sorting out your wedgie, or even worse a flash of some flesh you definitely don't want strangers to see. Yes, we expect to see these flimsy cuts at Gen Z fave brands like Nasty Gal and River Island. But I was surprised to see M&S selling this type of bikini bottoms, as the brand is renowned for selling comfortable underwear, particularly big 'granny'-style pants. It seems there is no escaping it if our sensible shops are hopping on board. You have to wonder why. There is a huge appetite for '80s nostalgia currently, across music and fashion, and there are parallels between the economies of back then and now — both decades are characterised by economic uncertainty and fluctuating inflation rates. 5 Zara McDermott, 28, stuns in the trendy bikini which is difficult to pull off Credit: Instagram 5 TikTok sensation Alix Earle, 24, strutting down the runway in a barely-there bikini at Miami Swim Week Credit: Getty 5 The swimwear was first made famous by supermodels such as Cindy Crawford, pictured, Elle Macpherson and Christy Turlington Credit: B915 We know about the hemline index, but could the gusset gauge be a more accurate indicator of how consumers feel about the state of the economy? Whatever the reasons, there are, of course, aesthetic benefits to high-cut swimsuits — they give the illusion of longer legs and a smaller waist. But if you are going to wear it, you really do need to commit to the trend — booking in for that wax and giving yourself a body-confidence pep talk, because there really is nowhere to hide.

Celebrities are eating sea moss to boost their health and prevent aging — I tried a tablespoon every day, and this is what happened to my body
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Touted as 'the plant-powered rival to Collagen' and loved by celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kim K, sea moss is having its moment in the spotlight as a potent superfood that can supercharge your health and wellbeing. But is it fad or fact? I decided to take a tablespoon every day and find out for myself. The benefits of sea moss are said to include boosting skin health, immunity, gut health and thyroid function while reducing inflammation. It's a nutrient-dense bomb of beauty benefits that people are using as a 100% natural skincare supplement — no tablets, capsules, or powders in sight. Could sea moss transform my skin? Here's what I really think. Sea moss is part of the red algae family found in places like the Caribbean. Its scientific name is Chondrus crispus, which I (personally) think is catchier for the market, and incidentally sounds like either a character from the Harry Potter franchise or my future rap name. It's also low in calories and fat and is packed full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and iodine. According to Wyld Herbs (more on that shortly), sea moss promotes natural collagen production to improve skin health, fight inflammation and boost immunity. Its fiber and live bacteria content can also support optimal gut health. Sea moss contains iodine, which supports thyroid and hormone function; however, it's worth consulting your physician first if you have a thyroid condition and use medication already. Then there's the iron content, which can help battle tiredness and fatigue and boost energy, and nutrients like calcium and phosphorus are also present. Although your diet should ideally contain all the vitamins and minerals you need, sea moss is a great supplement to include to give you that little extra boost. Prices start from £15, depending on the product, and can be shipped internationally, although you may have to pay extra for imports. You can also mix and match flavor bundles before Deal A common method for consuming sea moss is a gel, which is what I've been using. I used Wyld Herbs, which offers sea moss gel in a range of flavors such as turmeric, raw honey (sourced from local beekeepers) and strawberry (my favorite — it tastes like a jam tart!). There are other ways to consume, but I found this the easiest, as I could just swipe a tablespoon straight from the jar. I also sometimes added it to smoothies, shakes, or my go-to oats recipe. Wyld Herbs works with female farmers and wild forages their sea moss from protected Caribbean waters. You can even apply it topically to your face twice per week as a mask if you prefer. Sea moss is high in iodine, so intake should be discussed with your physician if you have a thyroid condition and use medication. General guidelines suggest that one to two tablespoons of sea moss gel consumed daily is safe for most people. The British Dietetic Association doesn't recommend consuming brown seaweed or kelp every day, though, and warns against using seaweed or kelp supplements as iodine levels can vary. You should also avoid sea moss gels if you are pregnant or have a seafood or shellfish allergy. First, the sea moss gel I used tasted delicious, so I consumed it each morning straight from the jar or added it to my smoothies or oats, opting for one heaped tablespoon. I do have a thyroid condition, but didn't experience any adverse effects using this amount. However, always listen to your body, and as mentioned before, ask your physician if you're unsure. I'm going to say straight up that I've been using this product for more than a month, and I haven't noticed any physical or mental benefits so far. That isn't to say that consuming extra vitamins and minerals isn't doing my body good, but I haven't noticed a change to my skin or physical well-being that I can chalk up to sea moss. I'm enjoying the product, and it's a great low-fat and low-calorie topper for yoghurts, oats, or smoothies — or even just straight from the jar when you're feeling peckish. But I wouldn't stray from a balanced diet or expect a wonder cure for your skin, gut and well-being needs. Further research is needed, and I'll be reporting back if I notice any changes to my health over the coming months. Although sea moss is related to seaweed, the majority of research supports the health benefits of seaweed as opposed to sea moss specifically. The benefits are reported to be similar, but the research is (at this stage) limited. A 2021 study suggests marine seaweeds contain 'bioactive components that promote a healthy diet,' listing properties like anticancer, antiviral, antihypertensive, antiinflammatory, neuroprotective and antifungal — to name a few. However, it adds that seaweeds can accumulate heavy metals and minerals, so consumption should not exceed the recommended daily allowance (150 mcg for adults). A risk assessment published by Environmental Science and Pollution Research suggests 4g per day of dehydrated Irish moss seaweeds contributes 'greatly' toward the recommended daily allowance for iodine in children (roughly 25.7%). A study published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine on Chondrus crispus (sea moss) found that it could have prebiotic effects, improving gut health and immune modulation. However, the research was conducted on animals (rats) and not on humans. It's promising, at least, but a gamechanger in tablespoon form? Not yet.
