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 …
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 …
The Age Defy+ range by Green People remains one of my all time favourites. I love the fact that Green People are an organic, natural range with huge integrity, the fact the range is specifically aimed at mature skin and the affordable pricing. The range has now had a package makeover and has been renamed Age Defy+ by Cha Vohtz. …

I’ve written about Marie Reynolds, one of the top skin specialists in the UK, a few times before. She does fabulous face treatments and, to everyone’s joy and happiness, she brought out a wonderful range of skin products (which I’ve also written about). I literally try each thing she comes out with the moment it’s produced. Trust me when I …
Our poor skins. They are fighting a constant battle on our behalf. If it’s not UV rays or extreme temperatures, it’s hormones, or perhaps toxins from from the foods we eat. Added to this there’s the effects of too much alcohol, lack of sleep or poor nutrition. Or maybe a combination of all of these! But there’s another enemy that …
We have been told much of the dangers of too much sun exposure in the past couple of decades. And we children of the 60s, 70s and 80s, who baked with joyous abandon under the sun’s strong rays, are now fearfully looking at our skin wondering if every little mark could mean the beginning of something sinister. However, this demonisation …
It’s always a treat to find new products that really work and that you love. Here are some of my favourites: PHB Ethical Beauty – Balance Face Wash This foaming face wash has done wonders for my son’s skin. It’s for people with oily skin and/or blemishes while at the same time being gentle. It uses lavender oil to clear …
Skin has many enemies in today’s world, from diet to lack of sleep to stress. However pollution in many of our cities is now so bad that it has arguably become enemy no.1. The other big enemy, the one that will turn your skin to leather or give you patches of dark pigmentation, is the sun. Now a little sun …
Collagen is absolutely vital to your skin and how it will age. In fact it’s important for every part of your body being the “glue” that holds everything together. However from our twenties our supply of collagen starts declining rapidly. Make no mistake your skin needs a healthy supply of collagen The body however, is unable to make collagen and …
Millions of us live in cities and big towns and air pollution is such a part of our lives that we don’t even think about it. We’re all so used to fumes spewing out of traffic, planes and industrial sites that it’s just part of the fabric of our lives. However pollution is not to be underestimated. It’s a killer. …
Ok that’s not really what it’s called, it’s actually the CBD Facial, but I rather like my name. This facial uses the big trend of the moment, CBD oil, both internally and externally The full name of CBD is cannabidiol and it’s derived from the cannabis plant but without the high. And yes it’s legal here in the UK. It’s …
