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 …
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!!! …
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 …
Out of all the skin products that people are hoping for a result from, I think eye creams top the list. We often hope that an eye cream is going to transform the area around our eyes and we’ll wake up and some sort of miracle will have occurred. At the risk of being the person who busts the Santa …
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 …
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 …
I recently met up to speak with Marie Reynolds about another one of my favourites from her exceptional range of skin products. Anoint is a facial oil unlike any other I’ve tried For a start it’s incredibly light and disappears into the skin. It’s extremely nourishing and healing and can be used on the body and hair as well. It …
What an absolute pleasure and privilege it was to sit down with Marie Reynolds and talk to her about her hero product, Restore. This has long been my favourite skin product because of the incredible effect it has on the skin. The result is skin as smooth as a pebble But what exactly is it? If you’re thinking it must …
I’ve been trying to meet up and interview skin guru Marie Reynolds for a long time. However with this lady being in such demand and with people fighting each other to get an appointment with her, I honestly didn’t think it would be possible. So how generous of Marie to take the time to meet up with me and record …
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 …
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 …
