I’ve written about Marie Reynolds, one of the top skin specialists in the UK, a few times before. She does fabulous face treatments and, to everyone’s joy and happiness, she brought out a wonderful range of skin products (which I’ve also written about). I literally try each thing she comes out with the moment it’s produced. Trust me when I …
It’s always exciting to find really good natural and chemical free makeup. Just a few years ago the quality wasn’t great, unlike with natural skin products of which there are many wonderful brands, but that is now really beginning to change. I was therefore delighted to be asked to judge lipsticks at this years Natural Beauty Awards. Below are my …
Our poor skins. They are fighting a constant battle on our behalf. If it’s not UV rays or extreme temperatures, it’s hormones, or perhaps toxins from from the foods we eat. Added to this there’s the effects of too much alcohol, lack of sleep or poor nutrition. Or maybe a combination of all of these! But there’s another enemy that …
We have been told much of the dangers of too much sun exposure in the past couple of decades. And we children of the 60s, 70s and 80s, who baked with joyous abandon under the sun’s strong rays, are now fearfully looking at our skin wondering if every little mark could mean the beginning of something sinister. However, this demonisation …
Any followers of this site will know that I’m a huge fan of Green People. One of the pioneers of the natural and organic beauty market and a company of integrity and high standards.

Skin has many enemies in today’s world, from diet to lack of sleep to stress. However pollution in many of our cities is now so bad that it has arguably become enemy no.1. The other big enemy, the one that will turn your skin to leather or give you patches of dark pigmentation, is the sun. Now a little sun …
Collagen is absolutely vital to your skin and how it will age. In fact it’s important for every part of your body being the “glue” that holds everything together. However from our twenties our supply of collagen starts declining rapidly. Make no mistake your skin needs a healthy supply of collagen The body however, is unable to make collagen and …
Millions of us live in cities and big towns and air pollution is such a part of our lives that we don’t even think about it. We’re all so used to fumes spewing out of traffic, planes and industrial sites that it’s just part of the fabric of our lives. However pollution is not to be underestimated. It’s a killer. …
I’ve been a big fan of the Victoria Health website for many years. It’s one of the first sites that stocked great beauty products as well as having many products aimed at enhancing good health. They’ve also introduced some of the most innovative products over the years including Niod and The Ordinary. So It’s very exciting to me that they …
Ok that’s not really what it’s called, it’s actually the CBD Facial, but I rather like my name. This facial uses the big trend of the moment, CBD oil, both internally and externally The full name of CBD is cannabidiol and it’s derived from the cannabis plant but without the high. And yes it’s legal here in the UK. It’s …
If you asked me what the single most important thing is for your skin, how it ages and how it looks, my answer would be collagen. It’s also vital for your overall health and wellbeing.
