I’m always looking for non invasive ways of tightening and improving skin. I have therefore happily spent the last few months trying some new (to me) skin tightening treatments. It’s been a manic year and I was feeling a bit worn out which never bodes well for your skin. What could be better than having a little skin rejuvenation? As …
How To Be Your Party Best For Christmas
I recently did the interview below for the Christmas edition of Good Housekeeping magazine. How to look and feel your best through the festive season. It’s a major challenge not to overindulge at this time of year and most of us end up feeling bloated, sluggish and a good few pounds heavier. But it doesn’t have to be like that. …
An Easy Way To Revitalise Your Skin
If you’re anything like me, the skin on your body is completely different to your facial skin. As a teenager with oily, spotty skin, I had legs as dry as the Sahara Desert. They were so dry that unless I smothered them in a moisturiser every single day, I had crocodile skin. Ok, so I was living in Africa and …
Coming Up Roses
It’s always exciting to find a new range of quality skin products and even more exciting to be one of the first to try them out. And this range has a rather lovely story attached to it. Sophie Reynolds grew up watching her grandmother Rosina concoct her own lotions and potions in her kitchen. Rosina was a former dancer at the …
My Favourite New Shampoo
I adore artichokes. While in Spain once, I had one of the most memorable meals of my life that consisted of fresh local fish sautéed with baby artichoke hearts. I’ve never forgotten it. Nothing has ever quite matched that meal but my love of artichokes continues. And although I try to eat as few grains as possible, if I had …
My favourite Skin Products
People often contact me to ask what cleansers, face cream, sun products etc I use. I’ve decided therefore, to compile a list of what products I’m currently using. Thanks to this site, I’m constantly trying new things so my list does change every now and then. However, the products below are all firm favourites, chemical free, often organic and really …
Chicken Skin Syndrome
It’s not always easy to tell when summer is upon us here in Britain, but I have now fixed the umbrella on to my garden table, so I would say summer is now official. This week I shall also be getting out my summer bag, so what more proof is needed? This means that all those hidden body parts and …
The No Needle Collagen Boost
We all long for a skin product that will transform our skin. A product that will tighten, clear impurities, get rid of pigmentation and somehow miraculously give us dewy, gorgeous skin. I think it’s fair to say, we’re all still waiting? I used to constantly read all about the supposed science of each new innovative product, eagerly trying the most …
Balm Balm Bonanza
As many of you already know, I’m a big fan of Balm Balm skin products. They are 100% organic, top quality and best of all, the most incredible value for money. When I went to visit them a few months back they gave me loads of their range to try and I’ve been doing just that. After initially falling in …
The Results of Trichotherapy Trial for Hair Thinning
Three months ago 3 Ageless subscribers were given the opportunity to try out hair guru Philip Kingsleys’ new ground breaking product for helping hair that’s thinning, Trichotherapy. The ladies were given a 3 month supply of the product worth £200 each. So is this product as amazing as Philip Kingsley claims (his trials revealed that it helped 79% of people …
My Visit to Balm Balm
After writing about my latest product crush on the fabulous organic Balm Balm range, the lovely people there made contact! If that wasn’t exciting enough, they then put me in their newsletter. I started emailing back and forth with Haydn who is clearly a woman after my own heart. She even invited me to visit their office in Kingston. We …
Repairing Sun-Damaged Skin
Being a former sun worshiper ( notice I say “former” ), I know how pleasurable it is to luxuriate in the sun and damn the consequences! Life is for living and enjoyment, right? Well, yes, but then you get home, the tan fades and you’re left with dried out, pigmented and older looking skin. But don’t despair, if your …
