A few years ago I discovered ARK skincare and loved it so much I added it to the Ageless Shop. It ticked all the boxes of what I was looking for. As my skin aged I needed products with more active ingredients but that were not laden with chemicals. It was therefore a huge shock when they suddenly announced they …

The diet, exercise & beauty habits I’ve given up – and what I do instead
Keeping healthy, staying on top of the latest wellness and beauty updates, as well as being pro-active, has long been a part of my life. I’ve done my best to eat well, exercise and take care of my skin since my twenties. I feel, all these years later, that it has had a very positive effect on how I’ve aged …
My Cool Laser journey (Part 1)
At the end of 2026 I was introduced to skin practitioner Lisa Harris. I immediately felt she was a kindred spirit. Despite having over 30 years of experience, and being trained to do all the different tweakments, from botox to fillers to electrolysis, she no longer uses needles. Instead, she concentrates on the skin lipid barrier, the integrity of the …
A pure & uplifting skincare range
It’s truly exciting to discover a range that inspires and uplifts you every time you use it. I have fallen in love with the Angelico range. It’s pure, natural and organic made from distillations of essential oils. The products are free of water and filled with natural essences and oils. They smell like a summer walk through a flower filled …

How I cracked the code on day to day dressing
I have a theory about why women shop a certain way that leaves them feeling they have nothing to wear. I did this for years myself, and when I changed my mindset, my whole wardrobe became a place filled with all kinds of useful outfits. I believe that many of us shop for our fantasy life We shop for how …
How to smooth your décolletage
One of the first areas on a woman’s body to show signs of age is the décolletage. I spotted my first lines in my late twenties. And it keeps on going the older you get. I always felt, despite the early start of lines in the area, that my décolletage was holding up well, but then this last year, I …
Cleansers that properly remove makeup
Cleansers may not be the most exciting beauty product, but to my mind they’re one of the most important. Besides city grime, pollution and toxins, there’s also makeup to remove. If you wear foundation, it’s very important to make sure you remove it fully. Otherwise pores become clogged and grimy. Personally, I find a lot of cleansers do not fully …

I’ve got a new favourite eye palette The colours are warm and flattering, from delicious caramel …
Serums to use after micro-needling
Last week I shared my micro-needling journey. As I explained, your skin can become a bit dry and flaky afterwards. Even though it doesn’t last long, it’s important to nourish your skin in the right way. I thought I’d get some advice from skin expert and creator of the fabulous DoSe range of skin care, Shabir Daya. He explains exactly …
My micro-needling journey
A few months ago I embarked on three micro-needling sessions. I was drawn to do it as it’s minimally invasive and has been scientifically proven to have a real effect on the skin. So many skin treatments give little value for money Treatments are often extremely expensive, specially when doing a series of them, which is usually the case. It’s …
