POPSUGAR Australia’s annual Health and Beauty Awards saw brands vie for attention across 25 categories in the beauty and health arenas. Products were selected after a vigorous testing process by the POPSUGAR Australia team, with the winners and runner-ups revealing the best of the best releases in the last 12 months.
“Our very own POPSUGAR Australia editors tried and tested the hundreds of health and beauty entries – reviewing what they thought and scoring them – to bring us the winners and runner-ups from each of the 25 categories. It was so fun and exciting as a team to get hands-on and really see how the newest innovations on the market performed,” says POPSUGAR beauty editor Justine Dunton-Rose.
