With retail stores shut for the foreseeable future, which has contributed to a decrease in sales, many brands across Canada are struggling to survive – including womenswear brand Judith & Charles.

Months before I was diagnosed, I bought a wig and decided to try it out for a special date night. When my husband saw me in a jewel-colored blue dress with a long red wig on, he told me, “You look like a prostitute.” I thought I looked like a curvy 1950s movie siren.

This is especially true while living in Hong Kong, where the pollution and humidity contribute to the challenge of maintaining healthy, clear and glowing skin. Our teenagers already have enough to handle! So, how do we know it’s time to take their skincare to the next level with a facial treatment? We caught up with SIOBAN GUILFOYLE, owner of Glow, to better understand this next step in self-care for teens. “In addition to keeping their skin clean, protected from the sun and properly moisturised, all teenagers can benefit from periodic facials to minimise breakouts,” she says.
