When it comes to maintaining good skin, you get to spend a lot of both time and money. And the sad fact is that the older you get the less effective treatments will be. Are skin treatments worth the money? This is an important question, I feel, as none of them come cheap. I find that none of the treatments …
Glynis talks to Marie Reynolds about Restore (video)

Glynis does Profhilo (video)
For the last few months I’ve undertaken a course of Profhilo treatments, whereby hyaluronic acid is injected into various areas of the face in order to hydrate and plump up the skin.

Glynis meets skin guru Marie Reynolds (video)
I’ve been trying to meet up and interview skin guru Marie Reynolds for a long time.

Protocol for lines around the mouth
Following my recent video chat with Dr Khan about what to do about the dreaded lines around the mouth, I thought I would itemise all his suggestions and look at them in more depth. Too much talking: Mmm well I think it’s best to just ignore this one, don’t you? Rude! Exfoliation: Now that’s better because it’s easy and something …
Treatments for lines around the mouth (video)
I’ve got a newfound pet hate. And yes you’ve guessed correctly, it’s those pernicious little lines around the mouth that are one minute barely there and the next, the hugest most unwanted feature on your face.

Why ageing accelerates after the menopause (video)
It’s so not fair. Women’s skin ages faster than men’s and that’s a fact. And it’s all due to our hormones. Oestrogen in particular. Once it’s had it’s way with us, it just abandons all it’s wonderful and beneficial purposes and leaves us on the scrapheap, parched and devoid of collagen. Oestrogen is a bitch But are we going to …
Make-up to make mature skin look dewy
I’ve discovered the most fabulous make-up brand founded by a truly fabulous woman, Grace Fodor. Studio 10 was designed by Grace specially for mature skin. What age is mature I hear you asking?

How to regain a smooth neck and décolleté
It’s a strange thing and I really can’t explain it but I’m ashamed to say I have neglected the whole area beneath my chin. I mean my neck has had the occasional bit of oil or moisturiser but that’s it. And as for the décolleté? Nothing whatsoever. My neck and décolleté have been left to their own devices and are …
