Say hello to a fantastic skincare range (video)

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare 1 Comment

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 …

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 …

Protocol for lines around the mouth

Glynis BarberBeauty 3 Comments

Following my recent video chat with Dr Khan about what to do about the dreaded lines around the mouth, I thought I would itemise all his suggestions and look at them in more depth. Too much talking: Mmm well I think it’s best to just ignore this one, don’t you? Rude! Exfoliation: Now that’s better because it’s easy and something …

And yes you’ve guessed correctly, it’s those pernicious little lines around the mouth that are one minute barely there and the next, the hugest most unwanted feature on your face. It reminds me of my teen years when I got a spot and could literally think of nothing else. It felt like everyone who …

How to regain a smooth neck and décolleté

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare 7 Comments

I mean my neck has had the occasional bit of oil or moisturiser but that’s it. And as for the décolleté? Nothing whatsoever. My neck and décolleté have been left to their own devices and are …

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? Downtime makes me nervous. What if the swelling, redness or bruising is really bad and takes weeks to go back to normal? What if …

The Masterlift

Glynis BarberTreatments 3 Comments

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. This treatment offers a real alternative to lifts and injectables in addressing skin ageing. …
