How I upped my skincare routine after I turned 60
For many years, I used only pure and natural products on my skin, in keeping with my organic lifestyle.

A step by step look at eyebrow tattooing
I recently wrote about the importance of eyebrow shape and how it can make a real difference to your face. It can age you up or down by 10 years and, in my view, is a quick and easy face lift.

Why you need to know about squalane oil
I remember many years ago when squalane was considered a highly desirable skincare ingredient and yet equally undesirable. The former, because of it’s supreme moisturising and softening effect and the latter because of it’s unethical source. In those days squalane was extracted from sharks livers However, that’s all changed and we can now indulge in this amazing and super-hydrating skincare …

Olive oil: fact versus myth
In a recent video I did with Zoë Harcombe PhD about the nutritional value of vegetables, she spoke about olive oil being “not all that”. I was shocked, along with many of you. Surely olive oil is the healthiest food on the planet? She suggested it would be better to eat olives than consume the oil which will be processed. …

Fasting and especially intermittent fasting, has become a very popular trend. In fact, when Fleur Borrelli and I published The In-Sync Diet back in 2015, we were one of the first proponents of it. The reason it has become so popular is because of the incredible health benefits. People who take up intermittent fasting often see their health transformed It …
