Vogue Ukraine presents a large print edition of Beauty Special
Vogue Ukraine releases its second special issue fully dedicated to self-care and inner harmony—Vogue Ukraine Beauty Special. Its release has become an annual summer tradition, highlighting new standards and dimensions of beauty. Beauty editor Alena Ponomarenko tells more about the issue.
Summer reminds us of escaping from everyday life. About that special state when you manage to slow down a bit, listen to your body and finally allow yourself just to be. To squint in the sun, to enjoy the aromas – of damp earth after rain, ripe berries and fresh flowers in naive bouquets sold by grandmothers, the best florists in the world. To travel.
This is the second time we are publishing Vogue Ukraine Beauty Special – an issue entirely dedicated to self-care, beauty and inner harmony. The first to leaf through these sun-kissed pages will be the guests of our two-day Vogue Ukraine Wellness Escape retreat, which we are holding in the suburbs of the capital, in the five-star wellness complex Edem Kyiv. This initiative has become an annual one, and I advise you to immediately plan to join the event next June.
The modern beauty industry no longer calls for "preparing the body for summer" and rapid transformations – instead, it appeals to good health and quality of life. So we filled the publication with stories about how to combine healthy hedonism with conscious self-care. Ukrainian surfing champion Yulia Kulish talked about her favourite sport, which gives not only chiselled muscles, but also a surge of endorphins. Entrepreneur and philanthropist Vicki Rader compiled a detailed guide to the Alps with the best spas, wellness resorts, restaurants and bars in Germany and Austria. We explored conceptual beauty centres from New York to London, where skin care is combined with mental health care. And the most famous oculoplastic surgeon of Ukraine, Anna Barinova, told how the approach to rejuvenating the area around the eyes is changing today.
Especially for the issue, star endocrinologist Yevgenia Rogalska has compiled books that promote a conscious attitude towards food, physical activity, and the body, and poet Daria Lisich has compiled gadgets for intimate wellness that enrich the sensory experience.
We paid special attention to summer beauty rituals. The editorial team tested beauty procedures that can be done even during the height of solar activity to achieve radiant, fresh skin. For those who set off on adventures, we have put together the perfect travel cosmetic bag, researched new-generation sunscreen products and selected products in the most seductive shades of summer – from sea turquoise to shimmering bronze.
I hope this number inspires you to adopt new beautiful habits, find your own places of strength, be kinder to yourself, and find a balance between activity and rest. May this summer be full of small discoveries that will make it special.
