Why I love the ARK skincare ethos

Glynis Barber Beauty, Skincare Leave a Comment

One thing that’s important to consider as we choose what skincare to use, is to ask “what does our skin need at this moment in time”. That may seem pretty obvious, but it’s surprising how often people will keep using the same products for years or use products for issues they don’t actually have. As we age our skin changes …

The 3 superhero products for skin

Glynis Barber Beauty, Supplements Leave a Comment

Would you be surprised if I told you that the top 3 products for your skin are supplements rather than creams?

A hero product for the lip area

Glynis Barber Beauty, Skincare Leave a Comment

Ageing is not for the fainthearted, that’s for sure. Besides the many health issues that can arise, one has to watch things happening to the face that one didn’t even know could happen.

There’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that, as we all know, with age comes a whole host of issues to deal with. When it comes to skin we are dealing with a skin tone that becomes more and more uneven (pigmentation anyone?) and a good dose of hormonal flushing. Pink may be a girl’s “favourite” colour, …

Glynis Barber Beauty, Health 2 Comments

A taste of Ageless (video)

Glynis Barber Beauty, Diet & Nutrition, Health 2 Comments
