I have had so many holidays ruined by things that bite, mostly mosquitoes. Rarely does a holiday go by when I don’t end up at the local hospital with some huge swelling or itching so badly I can’t sleep. On my one and only trip to the Maldives, I got bitten so badly on the first day, I was up …
Did you know that the inside of your house is 2-10 x more polluted than the outside? That’s right, many people are living in a seriously polluted atmosphere. This is down to household cleansers, candles, room sprays and pesticides to kill off bugs. The air inside our homes is a soup of toxic chemicals We may be trying to live …

It’s called Beauty Sleep for a reason Below, Shabir Daya, pharmacist at Victoria Health, takes a look at the impact of lack of sleep on our skin and hair.
As I’ve always maintained, beauty starts from within. So many of us are focused on treatments and tweakments that work on the outside, and that’s ok, but it needs to be done on a good foundation. Tweakments need to start on the inside It’s about tweaking our lifestyle to reduce inflammation and keep our cells hydrated and plumped. Here are …
Does holistic skincare align with high-tech gadgetry? Absolutely, according to veteran skin expert Lisa Harris.

A few years ago I discovered ARK skincare and loved it so much I added it to the Ageless Shop. It ticked all the boxes of what I was looking for. As my skin aged I needed products with more active ingredients but that were not laden with chemicals. It was therefore a huge shock when they suddenly announced they …
It’s truly exciting to discover a range that inspires and uplifts you every time you use it. I have fallen in love with the Angelico range. It’s pure, natural and organic made from distillations of essential oils. The products are free of water and filled with natural essences and oils. They smell like a summer walk through a flower filled …

One of the first areas on a woman’s body to show signs of age is the décolletage. I spotted my first lines in my late twenties. And it keeps on going the older you get. I always felt, despite the early start of lines in the area, that my décolletage was holding up well, but then this last year, I …
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 …
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, …
