This last week came to an abrupt halt for me when I slammed my finger in the car door. For 3 days I was in and out of hospitals, stumbling around in a fog of pain, whoozy on painkillers which ended up making me feel really ill. If that wasn’t bad enough I was put on antibiotics, given a tetanus …
No-one is a bigger hedonist than me. I’m sure I’m not alone in excitedly looking forward to my holiday and counting the days till take off. However, holidays can sometimes be quite stressful. It can take a few days to settle down into a new environment and a change of routine. And then of course, there are all kinds of …
Anyone who follows this site will know all about of my love of oils for the skin (both face and body). They, along with serums, absorb into and nourish the skin so much better than a moisturiser. There’s only one problem. There are now so many wonderful oils on the market. And now to make matters even worse, a new …
A while ago I wrote about the heavenly facial I had with Marie Reynolds who is one of the best skin therapists I’ve ever come across. You can therefore imagine my excitement when once again I found myself on her table for her unique Masterlift treatment. This treatment offers a real alternative to lifts and injectables in addressing skin ageing. …
Stress is one of the hardest things to deal with in modern life. Unless you’re living on top of a mountain in the middle of nowhere, you’ve probably been affected by the pressures and stresses of daily life. Add to that any other challenges (grief, illness, financial worries) and you can end up in quite a bad way resulting in …
I’ve used only chemical free and natural skin products for 20 years now. I truly believe that in the long run, this is much better for your skin and helps avoid all the inflammation and side effects from chemicals which will take their toll eventually. So it’s a bit odd that when it comes to make up I just slap …
The other week I wrote about my treatments for this fabulous natural facelift and how impressed I was with the results. You can read it HERE. Well, when I embarked on the 6 week course, my wonderful practitioner, Shermine Boustany, was bemoaning the fact she didn’t have any men to try it on. In Japan where it’s very popular, men …
I think this is the first time I’ve done four articles on one skincare line. NIOD is so unlike anything else I’ve used due to it’s advanced technology, that I’ve stuck with it for 3 months now. Partly for the sake of this website but mostly, I have to say, because of my skin. Today is about the last 2 …
I only recently discovered the pleasures and wonders of facial reflexology after many years of being a fan of the foot variety. I was very fortunate (and you can be too if you’re in London) to meet a wonderful practitioner, Shermine Boustany. She has quite magical hands as she works her way round your face using the technique formulated by …
It’s been 3 months now since I started using NIOD, some of the most advanced skincare products on the market, and my skin is really showing results. Gone is my dehydrated, flaky skin. Gone are the strange bumps and spots I had after a year of using stage make up. Instead I have nourished skin that is neither dry nor …
If you’re anything like me, you will have a tendency to always be looking for that amazing skin product or treatment that will somehow miraculously give you gorgeous skin. And all you will have to do is apply this to your face and that will be that. Perfection. Problem solved. Somewhere along the way, we begin to realise that this …
I recently wrote about NIOD, an amazingly advanced and effective skin range. I have used the entire range and am writing about every single product over a series of articles. If you missed the first article about their two incredible core products, view the previous article to take a quick peek. The difference with NIOD is that it really is …
