There’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that, as we all know, with age comes a whole host of issues to deal with. When it comes to skin we are dealing with a skin tone that becomes more and more uneven (pigmentation anyone?) and a good dose of hormonal flushing. Pink may be a girl’s “favourite” colour, …
How to tackle pigmentation (video)
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, …
Say hello to a fantastic skincare range (video)
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 …
When it comes to exfoliation, go easy
I used to be the exfoliating queen. If you’re a similar vintage to me. you may remember those Japanese washing grains from the Body Shop? Who knows, maybe they still have them? It was like using sand paper on your skin. And I loved it. I would scrub away as hard as I could. The thought of it now makes …
Glynis’ favourite organic skin products
I may have broadened the field when it comes to skin products as I’ve aged, but my love for all things organic is alive and kicking. I like to mix and match products and also switch products every few months as I feel the skin benefits from change. Rather like our guts which thrive on a large variety of different …
My favourite affordable skin products
In a perfect world, we would all have amazing skin products that did everything we need. Products that tackle multiple issues like ageing, acne, pigmentation etc with state of the art dynamic ingredients, but somehow are dirt cheap rather than the usual eye watering prices that mean most of us simply can’t afford them. Well guess what? I found them!!! …
Glynis talks to Marie Reynolds about Butter Balm (video)
Anyone who follows me will know that I’m a big fan of skin guru Marie Reynolds. She has a vast knowledge of the human body as well as skin and has formulated some wonderful treatments. Indeed she is the creator of the incredible Masterlift (video on YouTube). She also has a range of very pure, very natural and highly effective …
Are eye creams worth the money?
Out of all the skin products that people are hoping for a result from, I think eye creams top the list. We often hope that an eye cream is going to transform the area around our eyes and we’ll wake up and some sort of miracle will have occurred. At the risk of being the person who busts the Santa …
Glynis puts her skin under the microscope (video)
I’ve written before about going on the Visia machine for an in-depth look at my skin. It’s always a bit terrifying as it shows every single line, bit of redness, enlarged pore etc. This time I filmed my visit to the Harley Street Skin Clinic so you could see what the machine looks like and hear the verdict. If you’d …
Should you wear an SPF in winter? (video)
It seems crazy to wear an SPF when it’s winter, cold, cloudy and raining, doesn’t it? But there are a couple of factors that make a good argument to do so. Firstly it’s important to understand that sun exposure and UV exposure are the leading cause of premature skin ageing. And secondly UVA rays are present all year round even …
