Affordable dynamic skin products

As many of you know, I’m on a quest to find skin products with active ingredients that get real and visible results. I’ve had incredible results myself over the last 6 months with one rather expensive range and wanted to find something more affordable. And I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot with a range that is incredibly well priced …

How active ingredients can transform your skin

Three months ago I went to the Harley Street Skin Clinic to go back on the Visia machine to see if the products they had prescribed for me had improved the wrinkles and sun damage that had showed up the time before.

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare 8 Comments

Way back in February, before lockdown, before the new corona virus turned our lives upside down, I found myself on Harley Street with an hour or so to kill.

Self-tanning the natural way

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare 2 Comments

I gave up sunbathing many years ago, after a youth spent basking with great relish in the African sun. So ironically, after spending the first half of my life trying to get as dark as possible, I have spent the next half trying to preserve my skin and becoming paler and paler. But oh how I miss sunbathing and being …
