This week (20 to 26 October), the UK celebrates British Beauty Week, a national event that showcases the creativity, innovation and talent shaping the future of the beauty industry.
The week explores everything from cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices to changing consumer trends and the power of beauty to support wellbeing.
Events across the country will highlight key themes such as the importance of investment, the role of AI and tech in product development, and how the sector can remain resilient and competitive in the years ahead.
The event also shines a spotlight on the life-enhancing qualities of the industry. Whether boosting confidence, offering moments of self-care, or providing rewarding careers, beauty continues to play a vital role in supporting both individual and community wellbeing.
