Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA’s) were a revelation and literally life changing when they first appeared a few decades ago. They smooth and exfoliate skin without having to use an abrasive, physical scrub, leaving skin softer and smoother. And most are very gentle BUT they can cause irritation in some people. But now there’s a new generation of AHA’s Gentle and …
What’s not to love about a serum that firms and tightens your skin? One of the brilliant serums in the ARK skincare range has been called “a facelift in a bottle” and I have to say it’s pretty impressive. I have fallen in love with the ARK skincare range. It ticked all the boxes for me in what I was …
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 …
Would you be surprised if I told you that the top 3 products for your skin are supplements rather than creams? I’ve spoken before about how I, personally, would take Rejuvenated’s Collagen Shots over any skin product, as it works from the inside out. Collagen Shots helps to maintain collagen levels These deplete rapidly with age, affecting so many things, …
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. I thought the saggy jowls would be the worst of it, but no, there’s even worse. And that’s the lines that suddenly appear above the mouth. I …
Just a few short years ago, I had hardly even heard of rosacea. I wasn’t sure what it was and felt certain it wasn’t something I needed to know about. But the fact is, with age, specially from the menopause onwards, rosacea becomes a more and more common condition. It turns out I have a mild form of rosacea A …
Is there anything that stress doesn’t affect? The answer is a resounding no and in this article, written by Shabir Daya, a pharmacist at Victoria health, it also ages us and in particular our skin. Yes I know, it’s a bit dispiriting but there IS hope The first takeaway from this is that managing stress needs to be a top …
I’ve been asked so many times to show how I do my hair and here it finally is. I’m no hair whizz, trust me, so I’ve put it off as long as I can. However, thinking about it, I think that’s a good thing because if I can do it, so can you. Of course it totally depends on your …
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, …
We tend to think of collagen as connected only with skin, hair and nails. However, collagen is the glue that holds everything together throughout the body. It’s probably the most important component of our biology. The surprising fact is that our collagen starts to diminish in our twenties By the time we reach our forties, this depletion really starts to …
I love a bit of sparkle. A shimmery sheen to the eye can be very flattering and is great for when a bit of glamour is called for. But our skin changes with age and so does what will suit us. I believe that the ageing process is all about adapting It means finding the things that enhance the positives …
The Ageless YouTube channel was first launched in April 2021. Since then I have posted a video every single week. Sometimes it’s just me on my own talking about makeups that I like, skin products, diet, glucose spikes or on one occasion, how to peel a mango! I’ve tackled anxiety, breathing and even hydration. I’ve had the great privilege to …
