You don’t need to spend much on skincare

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare 2 Comments

There’s a popular misconception that to achieve and maintain good skin as we age, we have to buy very expensive products. In fact, many people presume that the more expensive the product, the better they are. I disagree. It’s true that some expensive products are very effective but this is also true of some much cheaper brands. They often use …

A facelift in a bottle

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare 2 Comments

What’s not to love about a serum that firms and tightens your skin? One of the brilliant serums in the ARK skincare range has been called “a facelift in a bottle” and I have to say it’s pretty impressive. I have fallen in love with the ARK skincare range.

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’ve got a newfound pet hate. 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 …

Why ageing accelerates after the menopause (video)

It’s so not fair. Women’s skin ages faster than men’s and that’s a fact. And it’s all due to our hormones. Oestrogen in particular. Once it’s had it’s way with us, it just abandons all it’s wonderful and beneficial purposes and leaves us on the scrapheap, parched and devoid of collagen. Oestrogen is a bitch But are we going to …
