Cleansers may not be the most exciting beauty product, but to my mind they’re one of the most important. Besides city grime, pollution and toxins, there’s also makeup to remove. If you wear foundation, it’s very important to make sure you remove it fully. Otherwise pores become clogged and grimy. Personally, I find a lot of cleansers do not fully …
About 10 years ago, I was on holiday sitting on a beautiful beach watching the sunset. A setting that always makes me happy. Warm sun, sand between my toes and shimmering blue sea. However, as I looked out at my wonderful surroundings, I could feel a strange sensation in my stomach. I felt uneasy and unsettled. I couldn’t quite put …

Even though it doesn’t last long, it’s important to nourish your skin in the right way. I thought I’d get some advice from skin expert and creator of the fabulous DoSe range of skin care, Shabir Daya. He explains exactly …
A few months ago I embarked on three micro-needling sessions. I was drawn to do it as it’s minimally invasive and has been scientifically proven to have a real effect on the skin. So many skin treatments give little value for money Treatments are often extremely expensive, specially when doing a series of them, which is usually the case. It’s …
Nail salons have sprung up all over the place. They are now cheaper, more accessible and are booming. Everyone loves a mani. They especially love a gel mani. No-one bothers with a normal manicure anymore In fact, I’m one of the few people I know who much prefers one. When I go into a salon and say I just want …
I first met radio presenter and now hugely successful influencer, Jo Good, on an episode of Dempsey and Makepeace, when she played a woman of ill repute. We laughed from the moment we met We’ve bumped into each other consistently in our very long careers and are somewhat amazed that we’re still here. Jo became a firm favourite on BBC …
A recent video of mine with Grace Fodor, founder of Studio 10 makeup, on the things to avoid in makeup on a mature skin, went down so well with the team at Hello magazine, that they asked me to write an article about it.

Beauty treatments are soaring in popularity, but the truth is they are very expensive. We now see celebrities getting tweakments and face lifts that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars (yes Kris Jenner, I’m talking to you) and it feels like us mortals don’t stand a chance. However, I’ve always held the belief that looking after one’s health and exercising, …
The festive period is a time that many of us look forward to, but at the same time, find fraught with difficulty. I love it because it’s a beacon of light in our long, long winter.
