When it comes to maintaining good skin, you get to spend a lot of both time and money. And the sad fact is that the older you get the less effective treatments will be. Are skin treatments worth the money? This is an important question, I feel, as none of them come cheap. I find that none of the treatments …
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 …
For the last few months I’ve undertaken a course of Profhilo treatments, whereby hyaluronic acid is injected into various areas of the face in order to hydrate and plump up the skin. This is a different form of hyaluronic acid to the one that’s used in fillers It works quite differently, as you will hear directly from the experts. When …
To say we live in interesting times is an understatement. The world has become increasingly stressful over the last year and a half and there are many prominent scholars and scientists who think we have entered a dark era that will be unfavourably reviewed from those in the future. We all, of course, have our personal stresses that we handle …
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 …
Cutting out gluten from the diet has become quite the thing and has spawned numerous gluten-free products. Many people, like myself, who try and limit gluten intake, are not allergic or even intolerant to gluten. And whether bread has gluten or not, it’s still going to give you a huge rise in blood glucose levels. Is cutting out gluten yet …
There’s no good time to have unsightly veins on your legs but summertime in particular, it can be quite demoralising. Sometimes varicose veins are very prominent and require medical attention, but other times they can just be dark looking veins that aren’t raised but still enough to make you self conscious. I myself have a few of these lurking on …
Following my recent video chat with Dr Khan about what to do about the dreaded lines around the mouth, I thought I would itemise all his suggestions and look at them in more depth. Too much talking: Mmm well I think it’s best to just ignore this one, don’t you? Rude! Exfoliation: Now that’s better because it’s easy and something …
I’ve got a newfound pet hate. And yes you’ve guessed correctly, it’s those pernicious little lines around the mouth that are one minute barely there and the next, the hugest most unwanted feature on your face. It reminds me of my teen years when I got a spot and could literally think of nothing else. It felt like everyone who …
You may have noticed that I’ve become a big fan of the Studio 10 makeup range. That’s because it’s the perfect makeup for me at this stage of my life. Specially designed for mature skins, the makeup has a great texture that makes skin look fresh and dewy. And their blusher is just sensational I’ve written about the key pieces …
There was a time that mushrooms had a bad rap. Word was that you got fungal infections from them and they were to be avoided. Oh how wrong this was. Just like when they said margarine was better for us than butter. Then we found out about trans fats and butter turned out to be a really healthy fat. Mushrooms …
Today I want to tell you about the most amazing supplement known as “the happiness herb”. I’ve been taking this myself for a few months now and I’ve never known anything quite like it. It’s particularly good for anxiety (which I’ve had bouts of over the last few years), depression and even insomnia. Thanks to this incredible herb, along with …
