Hongkongers are spoilt for choice when it comes to keeping themselves looking good and feeling healthy. We have some of the region's most sophisticated gyms and yoga centres and a world-class collection of spas, not to mention the dizzying array of make-up, skin- and hair-care products stocked by boutiques and department stores. But how do you cut through the sexy ads, the information and the promises to find what's right for you?
In STYLE's second beauty issue, we set forth to find out what works. Our three-part series on pollution - a serious issue in Hong Kong - offers insights into a better understanding of the skin problems it causes, while also exploring effective products
to combat its effects and showing how an antioxidant-rich diet can work wonders.
We've been to the gym, too, to assess the latest exercise trends, while our writer, Jennifer Cardenas, evaluates the latest development in the beauty business - the use of medicinal herbs.
The results of such a healthy lifestyle will no doubt achieve beauty inside and out - something our cover girl, Karen Mok, embodies. Her lifestyle, combining the right diet with exercise, not to mention the blessing of good genes, is what makes her such a vibrant personality.
Our make-up trends report brings you the hottest looks, while the Hit List features the latest products in sun protection, hair care and fragrances. If this has whetted your appetite, our photo shoot on high-drama make-up shows the remarkable transformation of five celebrities by make-up artist Alvin Goh. Live it up.
