I love a bit of sparkle. A shimmery sheen to the eye can be very flattering and is great for when a bit of glamour is called for. But our skin changes with age and so does what will suit us. I believe that the ageing process is all about adapting It means finding the things that enhance the positives …
Anyone who has suffered with a bad back knows how debilitating it can be. This is what happened to me recently and I ended up having to take a week off work, which is a first for me. I had an outpouring of sympathy on social media and literally thousands of people telling me about their own bad backs. This …
I have a confession to make. I love cake. Really, really love it. Which is a bit of a problem for a health loving gal like me. I have therefore perfected the art of healthy baking. Ok, perfected is not quite accurate. I am very much a haphazard baker Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t. If I like …
Deep breathing has long been used to counter stress and restore a Zen-like state. It activates the para-sympathetic nervous system and lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) levels.

The Ageless YouTube channel was first launched in April 2021. Since then I have posted a video every single week. Sometimes it’s just me on my own talking about makeups that I like, skin products, diet, glucose spikes or on one occasion, how to peel a mango! I’ve tackled anxiety, breathing and even hydration. I’ve had the great privilege to …
Pigmentation is a subject that concerns many people and I get asked a lot about it. In today’s video, I talk about managing pigmentation and also about managing expectations. There are no magic products and I personally have not had much success with treatments I’ve tried. Other than a chemical peel, which will require an anaesthetic and weeks of downtime, …
Melatonin, the sun and sleep are all intrinsically linked. In today’s video I talk about how the sun has been demonised in recent years but is, in fact, vital to life and optimal health. I’ll post the video at the end of this article. So what is melatonin and why is it so important? Melatonin is a hormone that controls …
I’ve been searching for a skincare range that is in keeping with the Ageless ethos but that also fully addresses the issues of ageing, mature skin. And it’s not been easy. The completely natural products I tried did not give the results I wanted and the more efficacious ones were full of undesirable toxins that, to my mind, undermine any …
I have to admit that I’ve never been much of a bronzer fan. And it’s not for lack of desire or want of trying. I’ve bought my fair share of products over the years but wasn’t ever happy with any of them. I never achieved the sun kissed look that I wanted or looked tanned in even a vaguely natural …
I was inspired to sit down and talk to hypnotherapist Zoë Clews after she wrote an article about the Metaverse. Things are now moving so quickly and whether you’re interested in the subject or not, it’s hard to dismiss. If it doesn’t impact you personally, it’s bound to impact your children or grandchildren massively. Ignore the Metaverse at your peril …
