As COVID-19 lockdown measures have forced more people to rely on e-commerce, delivery channels have faced fresh challenges. Canvas8 spoke to Ken Allen, the author of Radical Simplicity, to understand how the pandemic could impact online shopping both in the short term and long term.

Unable to indulge in the in-person luxuries they enjoyed pre-pandemic, people are looking for new beauty rituals. And as self-care becomes a mantra during COVID-19, brands are diversifying their ranges, offering people body care alongside traditional face-focused skincare products.

The inability to try products in person has long been a barrier to buying beauty online, but with stores closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, people have become increasingly reliant on e-commerce. How are brands innovating their e-tail offerings to both enhance discovery and assuage concerns?

Thanks to COVID-19, when it comes to getting their regular treatments and beauty fixes, people have found themselves stranded. In a bid to help their customers stay engaged throughout the lockdown, Bleach London is creating at-home hair parties to inspire creative quarantine looks.
