I’ve written before about going on the Visia machine for an in-depth look at my skin. It’s always a bit terrifying as it shows every single line, bit of redness, enlarged pore etc. This time I filmed my visit to the Harley Street Skin Clinic so you could see what the machine looks like and hear the verdict. If you’d …
Should you wear an SPF in winter? (video)
It seems crazy to wear an SPF when it’s winter, cold, cloudy and raining, doesn’t it? But there are a couple of factors that make a good argument to do so. Firstly it’s important to understand that sun exposure and UV exposure are the leading cause of premature skin ageing. And secondly UVA rays are present all year round even …
Non-surgical treatments for the eye area (video)
I’m not sure what I would do without Dr Aamer Khan from the Harley Street Skin Clinic.

Which treatments work best after 50 (video)
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 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. This is a different form of hyaluronic acid to the one that’s used in fillers It works quite differently, as you will hear directly from the experts. When …
Glynis meets skin guru Marie Reynolds (video)
I’ve been trying to meet up and interview skin guru Marie Reynolds for a long time.

So how generous of Marie to take the time to meet up with me and record …
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. It reminds me of my teen years when I got a spot and could literally think of nothing else. It felt like everyone who …

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 …
