The Easy Collagen Diet

Glynis BarberHealth, Skincare 3 Comments

If you asked me what the single most important thing is for your skin, how it ages and how it looks, my answer would be collagen. It’s also vital for your overall health and wellbeing. The bad news is that it declines at a remarkably early age and your body can’t produce it. The good news is that you can …

The Black Diamond Facial

I used to love a facial but to be honest I very rarely have them anymore. I mean in this day and age they’re just a bit….well….quaint, aren’t they? Why waste time doing almost the same routine you can do to yourself at home when you can have a wonderful and effective skin tightening treatment like Fractura Firm or Endymed? …

My First Laser Treatment

Glynis BarberBeauty, Treatments 4 Comments

I’m a bit of a baby when it comes to skin treatments. I like organic natural products, gentle treatments and I don’t like pain. And I especially don’t like downtime. I mean who has time for downtime?

Collagen Wave

Glynis BarberBeauty, Treatments 15 Comments

Radio frequency skin treatments are one of my favourites as they effectively tighten skin, improve collagen production and have no downtime with zero pain factor. The only downside is the cost. While it may be too expensive to indulge in a course every year, I do think even occasional one off treatments are well worth it. I’ve tried a few …

A while ago I wrote about the heavenly facial I had with Marie Reynolds who is one of the best skin therapists I’ve ever come across. You can therefore imagine my excitement when once again I found myself on her table for her unique Masterlift treatment.

The No Needle Collagen Boost

Glynis BarberSkincare 5 Comments

We all long for a skin product that will transform our skin. A product that will tighten, clear impurities, get rid of pigmentation and somehow miraculously give us dewy, gorgeous skin. I think it’s fair to say, we’re all still waiting? I used to constantly read all about the supposed science of each new innovative product, eagerly trying the most …
