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 …
I’ve always been slightly obsessed with concealers. It all began when I got my first spot as a teenager. By the time I was in my twenties my spots were much worse which was mortifying. I would literally go crazy with concealer, completely overdoing it. I may as well have put an arrow on my face pointing directly at the …
I may have broadened the field when it comes to skin products as I’ve aged, but my love for all things organic is alive and kicking. I like to mix and match products and also switch products every few months as I feel the skin benefits from change. Rather like our guts which thrive on a large variety of different …
In a perfect world, we would all have amazing skin products that did everything we need. Products that tackle multiple issues like ageing, acne, pigmentation etc with state of the art dynamic ingredients, but somehow are dirt cheap rather than the usual eye watering prices that mean most of us simply can’t afford them. Well guess what? I found them!!! …
I love a smokey eye but is it still a good look after a certain age? The answer is to do a super flattering grown up version. I didn’t even know there was such a thing before doing this video with Grace Fodor, founder of the fabulous Studio 10 makeup range which is specially designed for mature skin. I get …
Anyone who follows me will know that I’m a big fan of skin guru Marie Reynolds. She has a vast knowledge of the human body as well as skin and has formulated some wonderful treatments. Indeed she is the creator of the incredible Masterlift (video on YouTube). She also has a range of very pure, very natural and highly effective …
It really is most unfair that at the stage of life where you need facial treatments and rejuvenation the most, you are least likely to get a good result. In my previous interviews with Dr Khan (cosmetic surgeon at the Harley Street Skin Clinic) we have spoken about the fact that after the age of 50, all facial treatments become …
I’m so excited to share my Masterlift with you today, step by step, so you can see exactly what happens. This incredible facial treatment by skin guru Marie Reynolds is my all time favourite. Marie uses her exquisite products throughout the treatment and lots of exciting gadgets. She has upgraded the treatment since I last did one and now turns …
