Winter – Warmth Glow & Change
Dear Readers,
There is a unique magic in winter. It invites us to slow down, wrap ourselves in comfort, and savor the quiet elegance of shorter days and longer nights. It is a season of contrasts— crisp mornings and cozy evenings, serene landscapes dusted in frost, and the warmth of small rituals that bring joy and renewal. Winter reminds us that beauty is not always in movement; sometimes, it is in stillness, reflection, and care.
In the world of beauty and wellness, winter is a season to nourish, protect, and restore. It is about paying attention to our skin and hair, embracing practices that hydrate and fortify, and creating moments of self-care that feed both body and spirit. It is about finding radiance from within, even when the air outside is cold and dry.
At Beauty & Salon Magazine, we understand that winter has its own rhythm—gentle yet invigorating, introspective yet full of potential. This edition celebrates that rhythm. It is for salon professionals discovering ways to adapt and thrive during the season. It is for beauty enthusiasts who see winter not as a challenge but as an opportunity to experiment, indulge in nourishing rituals, and fall in love with self-care all over again.
We hope this issue wraps you in warmth and inspiration, igniting a sense of wonder as gentle as the first light of a winter morning. May it invite you to explore your creativity, nurture your soul, and embrace the quiet elegance and beauty that this season so naturally unfolds.
Happy Winter and Happy Reading!!

Winter Care Embracing Beauty in the Chill
Winter may be cold, but your glow can still stay warm and alive.
Sweater Weather is here - Let Your Radiance
Steal the Season
Winter brings a unique charm-crisp mornings, soft sunlight, and a slower rhythm that invites us to pause and reflect. But while the season feels
magical, it also challenges our hair, skin, and nails like no other. Cold winds, low humidity, and indoor heating can leave skin dry, hair frizzy, and nails brittle. This makes winter care not just a routine but necessity for anyone who wants to stay radiant and healthy through the chilly months.
Winter is also a time to embrace mindful beauty. Slowing down, enjoying small self-care rituals. From hydrating skincare and nourishing hair treatment to cozy nail care and creative DIY beauty hacks, winter encourages us to be gentle with ourselves while still looking our best.
Let your skin drink up all the love it missed this summer.
Deep Hydration Ritual
When winter wraps the world in its cool embrace, the skin calls for warmth, comfort, and renewal. This is where the Hydration Ritual begins not just as a routine, but as a rejuvenating experience. Replace airy summer gels with lush, creamy moisturizers that cocoon the skin in softness, restoring what the cold steals away.
Step by Step
Hydration Ritual
❖ Gentle cleaning
• Use a cream or oil-based cleanser instead of foaming gels.
• Look for ingredients like ceramides, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid.
• Massage in circular motions to increase blood flow.
❖ Steam infusion
• Steam opens pores and allows deeper hydration.
• You can use a facial steamer or simply a bowl of warm water with rose petals. Cover your head with a towel and steam for 5-7 minutes.
❖ Hydrating Essence or Toner
• After cleansing, pat a hydrating essence with ingredients like glycerin, snail mucin, or aloe vera
• Helps prep skin to absorb serums better.
❖ Serum therapy
• Apply a hydration serum rich in Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin B5.
❖ Massage and mask
• Use gentle face massage techniques to stimulate circulation.
• Then apply a Hydrating mask. (Sheet mask/ cream mask/DIY mask).
DIY Option:
Mix honey + yogurt + a few drops of almond oil.
❖ Deep Moisturization
• Use a rich cream with ceramides, shea butter.
• For night routine: lock in everything with a sleeping mask or facial oil.
Frequency:
Do a mini version daily (cleanse, serum, moisturizer) and a ritual once or twice a week.
Winter Glow Makeup
Cold weather might dull your glow, but winter is the perfect stage for radiance with depth. Winter glow makeup is not about sparkle it is about skin that looks alive, lit from within. A touch of dew, a whisper of warmth, and your complexion transforms from dry to divine. Winter does not dim your beauty it challenges you to make it shine.
01 Ice Ice Baby
The moment the chill sets in, most of us reach for warm, earthy tones the cozy browns, bronzes, and golds of fall. But this winter, the trend takes a refreshing twist! Step aside, classic warmth frost is taking over the palette. This season is all about cool-toned magic: think icy lids, silvery liners, and glass-like shimmers that catch the light like frozen dew. It is futuristic yet effortlessly wearable a look that feels bold but soft, edgy yet elegant. Just a swipe of creamy shadow or a touch of glossy balm over the lids, and suddenly your eyes tell a whole winter story of their own.
It is not just makeup anymore; it is a frosted fantasy come to life.
02
Reverse Wings
As the air turns crisp and cozy, makeup begins to play by new rules. Cooler weather means your look lasts longer, letting you experiment without limits. This season’s hottest twist? The reverse eyeliner wing where all the drama shifts inward. Instead of flicking out, the liner hugs the inner corner of your eye, creating a mysterious, bold, and futuristic allure. From soft metallic hints to daring graphic shapes, this trend celebrates creativity at its finest. Add a touch of shimmer or sparkle, and suddenly your eyes are not just speaking; they are storytelling. This winter, it is all about letting your gaze steal the scene.
03 90’s Lips
The ‘90s lips are making a dazzling comeback and they are louder, bolder, and glossier than ever. This season is all about contrast and play deep, defined lip liners meeting frosted glosses that shimmer with nostalgia. Think warm browns, muted mauves, and golden undertones kissed with that signature frosty sheen. It is not about perfection; it is about attitude. Overdraw your cupid’s bow slightly for dimension, blur the edges for softness, and let the centre of your lips glow with a hint of shimmer. The look is unapologetically vintage yet effortlessly modern a tribute to the decade that made gloss a statement and confidence the trend that never fades.
Nourishing Hair Care
“Let
Your Hair Glow While the Temperature Drops!”
Winter is poetry draped in white soft, serene, and breathtakingly beautiful. Yet behind its calm grace lurks a silent thief: dryness. The cool breeze that playfully dances through your hair can just as easily steal away its shine, turning silk into straw and bounce into brittleness. But this winter, do not let your tresses surrender to the chill!
Turn the chill into charm with these two winter favourite styles:
❖ Curtain Bangs with layers
❖ Loose wavy curls
1
Curtain Bangs with Layers
Curtain bangs are face-framing layers that part down the middle (like curtains) and blend seamlessly into the rest of your hair.
• They are usually longer than regular bangs, falling around the cheekbones or jawline.
• The hair is feathered and slightly curled away from the face for a soft, natural flow.
How to Keep Your Bangs Looking Fresh & Perfect
1. Keep Them Hydrated:
Use a moisturizing shampoo + light conditioner.
Tip: Avoid heavy oils near roots — they make bangs greasy.
2. Prevent Frizz & Static:
Use a light anti-frizz serum or leave-in mist.
Tip: Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce frizz.
3. Protect from Hats:
Wear loose beanies or hats to avoid flattening.
Tip: Carry dry shampoo or a small brush for touch-ups.
4. Blow-Dry Right Away:
Blow-dry with a round brush, curling bangs away from face.
Tip: Finish with a cool shot for shape and shine.
5. Refresh Between Washes:
Wash just your bangs or use dry shampoo on roots.
Tip: Keeps them fresh without drying the rest of your hair.
2
Loose Wavy Curls
Waves add volume and softness which balance the often “flat” feel hair can get in winter. According to style guides, long wavy curls are a top choice for the season.
Tip: Use a heat-protectant and finish with a light shine serum — winter air can dry out hair, so this helps keep the look healthy.
How to Create Loose Waves
Option 1 – Curling Iron:
• Use a 1 to 1.5-inch curling iron.
• Wrap sections loosely, leaving the ends out for a
• relaxed finish.
• Run your fingers through the curls to soften them.
Option 2 – Heatless Overnight Waves:
• Braid damp hair loosely before bed or use a silk
• curling ribbon.
• In the morning, unravel for natural, soft waves.
with Ribbon Accessory Sleek High Ponytail
Steps:
Khushi Kapoor has been noted for wearing a high ponytail paired with a black hair bow.
The look: Ponytail is elevated, hair pulled back smoothly; the ribbon acts as an accessory that draws focus and adds chic detail.
Why it fits your description? It is sleek, polished, elevated (not casual), and uses the ribbon/bow accessory which you were looking for.
• Pull hair up into a high ponytail, secure firmly but not too tight — you want structure plus some comfort.
• Smooth the hair at the crown for a sleek finish (use serum or smoothing spray).
• At the ends of the ponytail, leave them straight.
• Choose a ribbon or bow accessory in a colour-that-matches your outfit or contrasts for effect (Khushi Kapoor used black).
• For winter layering: The sleek ponytail helps when wearing coats, scarves or hats (less hair in the way, less flattening).
• Finish with an anti-static or smoothing spray to combat winter dryness and frizz.
Fashion Winter Fusion Beauty
