ARK Skincare Specialist with Glynis

Why I love the ARK skincare ethos

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare 4 Comments

One thing that’s important to consider as we choose what skincare to use, is to ask “what does our skin need at this moment in time”. That may seem pretty obvious, but it’s surprising how often people will keep using the same products for years or use products for issues they don’t actually have. As we age our skin changes …

Control your negative and fear-based thoughts

Glynis BarberStress Management 2 Comments

I recently met up with Mindfulness author, Ora Nadrich to talk about her “Says Who” method, based on her successful book of that name. The question is who exactly is that speaking in our heads? And who has control of that voice and the dialogue? According to Ora we do. We are in control of our internal dialogue Through a …

Glynis Holding Advanced Action Plumping Lip Cream

A hero product for the lip area

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare Leave a Comment

Ageing is not for the fainthearted, that’s for sure. Besides the many health issues that can arise, one has to watch things happening to the face that one didn’t even know could happen. I thought the saggy jowls would be the worst of it, but no, there’s even worse. And that’s the lines that suddenly appear above the mouth. I …

Let’s talk about rosacea

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare Leave a Comment

Just a few short years ago, I had hardly even heard of rosacea. I wasn’t sure what it was and felt certain it wasn’t something I needed to know about. But the fact is, with age, specially from the menopause onwards, rosacea becomes a more and more common condition. It turns out I have a mild form of rosacea A …

Glynis with ARK Skincare Radiance Serum

The amazing anti-redness serum

Glynis BarberSkincare Leave a Comment

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, …

A taste of Ageless (video)

Glynis BarberBeauty, Diet & Nutrition, Health 3 Comments

The Ageless YouTube channel was first launched in April 2021. Since then I have posted a video every single week. Sometimes it’s just me on my own talking about makeups that I like, skin products, diet, glucose spikes or on one occasion, how to peel a mango! I’ve tackled anxiety, breathing and even hydration. I’ve had the great privilege to …

Say hello to a fantastic skincare range (video)

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare 3 Comments

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 …

My special makeover for the Soap Awards (video)

Glynis BarberBeauty, Make Up Leave a Comment

It takes a lot of effort to look good for an award ceremony, let me tell you. When I attended the Soap Awards recently, it ended up being an all-day affair. From the morning run to the hairdresser for a blow dry and manicure, to getting my makeup done, getting dressed and then having to be in the car by …

Everything you need to know about cholesterol

Glynis BarberHealth 3 Comments

Everything you think you know about cholesterol is probable wrong. Cholesterol has been demonised and blamed for ill health and heart attacks for many years now. But did you know that without it you would die? Everything from your hormones to immune system are dependent on it. As we age, cholesterol actually becomes protective Yes that’s right.
