I don’t know about you, but my skin is thirsty. And has been for years now. I feed it and it perks up a bit but by the next day it’s parched again. I think it’s a combination of age and serious sun bathing in my youth. So when Marie Reynolds latest product arrived on my door step and I …

Three months since I began my skin rejuvenation with my first Hifu treatment! I know that I need patience as collagen takes time to renew, which is just as well as so far I can see no change whatsoever.
