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 …
How to protect your skin from pollution
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.

Help for thinning hair
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 …
The Marijuana Facial
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 …
The Easy Collagen Diet
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.

Beauty Box
Anyone who regularly visits this site knows that I’m a big fan of Green People. This range of natural, chemical free, ethical and well priced products are one of the best in my opinion. So any new additions to the range is always a cause for celebration. This month there is much to celebrate as they launch their gorgeous Beauty …
The best of the natural make-ups
I’ve been writing about natural and chemical free skin products for awhile now but not much about natural make-ups. And the reason is that I’ve not found many I really like. They tend to have dull colours with a sometimes weird texture and don’t look great when you apply them which completely defeats the purpose of wearing make-up in the …
