Introducing Beauty & Balance—our annual autumn beauty and wellbeing issue with cover star Dove Cameron

It has become even more obvious in recent years—although some might say it was evident from the beginning of time—that beauty begins from within. It’s more than just pampering and products that make us feel beautiful: it’s the rituals, habits, and role we let wellbeing play in our overall lives. It always comes back to balance.

Our cover star, Dove Cameron, is learning to find her own centre. Growing up on Disney Channel, fame and success always seemed to be on the horizon. At just 30, her career has been underscored by television shows, movies, music, and now, it’s almost a full circle moment, as all attention turns to her latest work,
56 Days. In our exclusive cover shoot, we join the star for a brief moment amid a busy press cycle in LA, where she told us how life can be scary, and at times quite traumatic, but there’s so much love and joy and beauty in it too.

Elsewhere in the issue, we speak to those who have their own slant on wellbeing. Kiwi trainer to the stars Kirsty Godso shares her essential rituals and routines for the new year, while Emily Wood suggests a more unconventional approach to beauty. Sabrina Bloedorn proposes a more stylish approach to getting in one’s steps, and Dr Sylvia Earle reflects on a lifetime’s understanding of oceanic wellness.

And within our beauty and wellbeing sections—because this issue really is a blockbuster—our editors have compiled the ultimate list of the 26 beauty and wellness products you absolutely need to know for 2026, both old faithfuls and new releases. As always, this issue is stacked with everything you love about Remix. Fashion editorials take us from hero diamonds to workouts of yore, while our beauty team breaks down the treatments of the season. We’ve also rounded up the best new releases for the months ahead: cosy autumn reads, podcasts for morning motivation, and a new series to settle into when the nights get shorter.

For the food-obsessed, our editors have mapped out the latest openings and culinary moments to note, perfectly paired with the ultimate autumn itinerary to carry you through to June. And for those who have their sights set on the horizon this year, we’ve shared a few of our favourite places to escape to in the months ahead.

So take a breath, let it all soak in. Life is better with balance, after all.
