This Is the Best LED Face Mask for Long-Haul Flights
LED face masks have long since governed a serious amount of Instagram real estate, coined as the most effective way to prevent the signs of aging, reduce stubborn acne scars, and rejuvenate tired-looking skin. But no matter how many accolades this technology gets, the skeptic inside me has always been suspicious of how effective it can really be: How would I know if it was working if it's a preventative? Is it something I want to add to my concise and curated edit of beauty products I travel with? Do I want to add it to my list of accessories I pack on every trip? After years of resistance to the idea, I found myself coming around to it thanks to the under-eye Cryo feature on Shark Beauty's new interpretation (which costs $350). To look at, the product appears much the same as its peers, but the inside is fitted with cushioned pads that nestle on top of the skin under the lower-lash line. When the device is activated with the attached remote control, the pads immediately cool—creating a calming, relaxing effect that feels enhanced by the glow of the red light that surrounds them. Sessions can last as little as five minutes, adding to this design's appeal. Suddenly, I'm invested in a daily routine that promises to benefit my overall complexion and visibly depuffs my under-eyes. If I can commit to this for eight weeks, then it seems I can expect to see an improvement in my skin's brightness, too. What's more? This snippet of time in the day is a chance to stop, be still, and put down my phone. Surely there's benefit in that alone?

Lioness Lucy Bronze gives rare glimpse into her bedroom - and it's surprisingly stylish with on-trend terracotta touches
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Lioness star Lucy Bronze has been enjoying a well-deserved break after the team's major Euro 2025 triumph, and is undoubtedly spending at least some time relaxing in her cosy, trendy bedroom. The champion footballer, 33, spent the past few days celebrating the England women's team's historic win against Spain. While preparing for the big games last month, she took some time to practise a bit of self-care - and at the same time, gave fans a rare look into her home. She shared several photographs on Instagram that revealed how she likes to spend her 'down time' - including wearing her Shark Beauty CryGlow mask while lounging on her dusty pink bedspread. Fans caught a glimpse of other details in her bedroom, which featured warm, terracotta-hued walls that complemented her bedspread. Lucy had propped herself up on several pillows in grey and white colours, and she'd placed contrasting pink-and-yellow pillows under her knees for support. On the wall above her bed, there are two abstract paintings in neutral colours to further bring out the terracotta tones. Meanwhile, wooden drawers are in place next to her bed. They are decorated with a round mirror and two potted plants, as well as a playful soft serve ice cream-shaped lamp and a brown rattan lamp. Lucy seems to be a lover of this particular colourway, as she also shared a photo of a red candle in a brown glass holder, placed in the middle of a terracotta dish There was another framed artwork propped against the wall on top of the drawers, as well as a framed poster on the opposite wall, reflected in her mirror. According to interior design expert Chloe Barrow, terracotta hues are rising in popularity as they are the 'perfect transitional colour choice' between summer and autumn. Chloe told Homes and Garden that the earthy tones can feel 'warm in the summer and comforting in the autumn'. 'These sunbaked shades tap into the brightness of summer days but also transition effortlessly into the moodier, richer tones of the colder months, so it feels appropriate year-round, but especially in this summer-to-autumn period.' Lucy seems to be a lover of this particular colourway, as she also shared a photo of a red candle in a brown glass holder, placed in the middle of a terracotta dish. The footballer's chic interior style is not hard to emulate with plenty of budget-friendly home buys which can picked up from the high street.

Maria Thattil On Ancestral Roots & Showing Up In Culture
Maria Thattil 's relationship with her hair hasn't always been wrapped in confidence. For years, it was knotted with experimentation and the unspoken pressure to fit into beauty ideals. But these days, as she reflects on her beauty journey perched at Australian Fashion Week, she's no longer looking to blend in. She's building looks and a legacy, from the roots up. Her hair, as she describes it, is 'naturally a little bit wavy, a little bit textured.' But it's more than just a texture or aesthetic. It's an inheritance, one that ties her to mum, grandma and ancestors. Thattil proudly shares that she has 'the same long, dark, silky South Asian hair as them,' and that sense of connection has become central to her identity. Over the years, though, she's strayed from that hair, or rather, was nudged away by beauty ideals that didn't include her. "I've experimented a lot," she tells Refinery29. "And not always for the right reasons." Thattil previously opened up to us about how she dyed her hair to look less Indian in the past — like so many women of colour, her hair became a site of negotiation, something to lighten or tame in pursuit of belonging. ' It's been really nice over the years coming back to myself and being confident in that. ' Maria is an ambassador for Shark Beauty, the presenting partner of Australian Fashion Week 2025. The brand's tagline — 'For all hair kind'— is something she personally resonates with. It's more than branding. It's a reclamation. A refusal to shrink her identity to meet Eurocentric standards. And, in her words, it's deeply political. As a South Asian woman growing up in Australia, Maria remembers being teased for oiling her hair. "That's my earliest memory of hair care," she reflects. "My grandma did it to my mum, my mum would oil my hair. It's an act of love, but it's Ayurvedic." What once drew ridicule, the scent, the slickness, the visible difference, is now trending. But it stings when traditions passed down through generations become aesthetic currency only when worn by someone else. ' It only becomes cool when it's on someone else. What belongs to you is only celebrated when it's on other bodies. ' Maria is clear: she's not against appreciation, she's against erasure. "We don't want our culture repackaged and resold to us. It's just honouring that this is who we've always been." That distinction is particularly relevant during Fashion Week, where South Asian aesthetics are often borrowed but rarely credited. Maria notes the trend of wearing scarves styled like dupattas, traditional South Asian garments, without context. "People will take something from a culture and not honour the roots, and profit off it and exploit it and commodify it," she says. Still, there are moments of joy and reclamation. She points to the showgoers, the journalists, the creators who are turning up in 'jumkas and bangles and dupattas and saris,' wearing their culture loudly and proudly. 'We're going to show up and we're going to wear our culture with pride,' she says, and her voice lights up at the thought. Hair, for her, is often the starting point for that expression. "Hair is actually very often the base, where I then build these looks around it," she explains. Whether she's feeling grunge in a tee and baggy jacket or stepping out in couture, her hair is her anchor, an extension of how she feels that day. ' Fashion should be something that empowers you, not makes you blend in,' Maria says. She loves seeing the shift away from trends for trends' sake. For her, the real power lies in style as self-expression, in dressing and styling from the inside out. And while she might now have access to 'the best hair stylists' and tools, her off-duty vibe is more low-key. "Honestly, on my days off, I'm just a hair mask and plaits kind of girl," she laughs. 'It's a balance.' Maria is hopeful about the direction the fashion and beauty industries are moving, especially with how digital voices are forcing change. 'I think the biggest change I've seen is that brands are listening a lot to people when they call for diversity,' she explains. 'But we still have a long way to go.' That long way includes body diversity, age inclusion, and disability representation, not just in front of the camera, but backstage, in boardrooms, and on design teams. "Fashion really, truly is for everyone," she says. And that has to be reflected across every layer. Her partnership with Shark Beauty reflects that alignment. 'Their ethos is for all hair kind,' she says. 'It's about people embracing their hair in all its unique and diverse textures and forms. That sets a precedent.' For Thattil, reclaiming her hair kind isn't just about looking good, though that's very much on the cards. It's about honouring the rituals, resisting the repackaging, and choosing to show up fully in the world as she is. The girl who once got teased for oily plaits is now setting the standard for what hair, and pride, really look like. Roots and all.

EXCLUSIVE Christian Wilkins shares the secrets behind his luscious hair, flawless skin and toned figure - and reveals what he REALLY thinks of people criticising his flamboyant wardrobe
Speaking to Christian Wilkins at Australian Fashion Week is like talking to Holly Golightly at Tiffany's or Carrie Bradshaw in a pair of Manolo Blahniks — it just makes sense. The fashion icon, 30, who effortlessly pushes the boundaries of style and gender-normative conventions in the world of fashion, sat down for an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Australia amid the chaos of Carriageworks — using his five-minute breather between shows to give us all the details on his beauty transformation. But just like Christian, his holy grails are a far cry from conventional but pack just as much punch as the colourful Aussie star himself. Tossing his hair in between questions after having it styled by Joey Scandizzo, it was no wonder we were brushed onto the topic of his luscious locks and how he not only styles his head of hair but cares for it. To achieve the perfect blowout, Christian swears by the Shark FlexStyle, which he uses 'all the time'. 'It's really rare that you get to work with brands that you genuinely love,' he said of the appliance company, praising their innovation in the sphere and on the scalp. And as for how he keeps his hair healthy, Christian narrows it down to one thing: Genetics. 'People ask me all the time what I do — and I do take supplements and collagen and stuff like that — but I think it's really genetics [and Shark beauty],' he says with a wink. But when it comes to skin, the actor and LGBTQIA+ activist is not leaving anything to chance, relying on a new Hollywood go-to to keep his face fresh and glowy. 'I have a really simple skincare routine. I use collagen peptides and then beef tallow,' Christian adds. 'In the States, it's huge at the moment. People are using beef tallow for their healthcare, for their skincare...' Tallow, a new viral skincare product, is a type of fat rendered from cow meat or mutton suet. And upon research, it can also be used to make candles, soaps and fabulous roast potatoes. However, Christian is simply using the product for its skincare benefits, he says, ditching the carbs in his diet for a pantry closer to home. The model leans on a Mediterranean menu to keep his body in shape, going back to his roots when he's filling up a plate. 'My mum is Greek and cooking healthy foods and proteins and vegetables was always what I grew up on,' he revealed. 'I was that kid that went to school with falafel and hummus and fresh zucchini.' And while Carrie swears by Vogue for dinner, so does Christian swear by another hunger-quenching dish - one that he could eat with every meal. 'I also really love porridge,' he confessed. 'I have it like three times a day.' It's no surprise Christian's physical splendour is down to a passion for fitness and a love of lifting weights, but perhaps what is more touching is the care and softness he feels towards his body as he ages, and his new outlook on life after turning 30. 'My body has changed quite a bit,' he shared. 'I used to find it very easy to be slender. 'Now, I'm putting on a bit more muscle and I'm liking coming into my new body and being really proud of that. 'I'm finding my own identity as I get older.' Expressing his identity is at the forefront of who Christian is, just look at his stacked resume, or Instagram page or any sartorial shindig in Sydney. From hosting podcast Radical Fashionism with Andy Kelly to playing with non-binary styles in the social sphere, Christian uses fashion to say things that can often be hard to put into words. But even when actions speak louder, words can still sting in the comments section, a feeling that Christian knows all too well. Speaking of his experience with trolls, Christian shared the overwhelming sadness he feels when seeing negative comments from strangers, not for himself, but for his community. 'Some of the messages make me sad, but less because they're attacking me and more because I see that this kind of hatred is out there,' he said. Adding that he was lucky to have family, friends and a network that have his back, Christian's decision to be out and proud of his identity was for the people who didn't have that support. 'I think that it's important to keep going out there and expressing yourself how you want to be,' he thoughtfully said. 'Someone that might not necessarily feel so secure can use you as an example.' And so, as Christian Wilkins flips his hair post-interview, moving on to inspire his community and the fashion sphere with every model-esque pout and pose, so do we snuggle into bed to watch greats like Holly and Carrie. For what better way to learn and love ourselves unapologetically than seeing the fashion icons do it first?
