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 …
Pigmentation is a subject that concerns many people and I get asked a lot about it. In today’s video, I talk about managing pigmentation and also about managing expectations. There are no magic products and I personally have not had much success with treatments I’ve tried. Other than a chemical peel, which will require an anaesthetic and weeks of downtime, …
I’ve been searching for a skincare range that is in keeping with the Ageless ethos but that also fully addresses the issues of ageing, mature skin. And it’s not been easy. The completely natural products I tried did not give the results I wanted and the more efficacious ones were full of undesirable toxins that, to my mind, undermine any …
I have to admit that I’ve never been much of a bronzer fan. And it’s not for lack of desire or want of trying. I’ve bought my fair share of products over the years but wasn’t ever happy with any of them. I never achieved the sun kissed look that I wanted or looked tanned in even a vaguely natural …
I used to be the exfoliating queen. If you’re a similar vintage to me. you may remember those Japanese washing grains from the Body Shop? Who knows, maybe they still have them? It was like using sand paper on your skin. And I loved it. I would scrub away as hard as I could. The thought of it now makes …
It takes a lot of effort to look good for an award ceremony, let me tell you. When I attended the Soap Awards recently, it ended up being an all-day affair. From the morning run to the hairdresser for a blow dry and manicure, to getting my makeup done, getting dressed and then having to be in the car by …
My favourite makeup brand, Studio 10, which has transformed the skin of mature women with dewy textures and flattering colours, only has one skincare product and it’s absolutely dynamite. This genius serum is all about diminishing wrinkles It does this in just 15 minutes. Yup, you will actually see an almost instant smoothing without having your skin feel like it …
Today I’m posting a recent interview I did with Grace Fodor from Studio 10 makeup for her blog. Grace is a great advocate of the pro-age movement and a great supporter of women. I’ve got to interview her many times for Ageless and she’s shared so many wonderful makeup tips. And, of course, she is also the creator of the …
