How wonderful to find a skincare range that has such effective products, with cutting-edge, active ingredients, at very affordable prices.

How I upped my skincare routine after I turned 60

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare 7 Comments

For many years, I used only pure and natural products on my skin, in keeping with my organic lifestyle.

I turned sixty and I …

How to tackle pigmentation (video)

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare Leave a Comment

Pigmentation is a subject that concerns many people and I get asked a lot about it. In today’s video, I talk about managing pigmentation and also about managing expectations. There are no magic products and I personally have not had much success with treatments I’ve tried. Other than a chemical peel, which will require an anaesthetic and weeks of downtime, …

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 …

When it comes to exfoliation, go easy

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare 2 Comments

I used to be the exfoliating queen. If you’re a similar vintage to me. you may remember those Japanese washing grains from the Body Shop? Who knows, maybe they still have them? It was like using sand paper on your skin. And I loved it. I would scrub away as hard as I could. The thought of it now makes …

I’ve always been slightly obsessed with concealers. It all began when I got my first spot as a teenager. By the time I was in my twenties my spots were much worse which was mortifying.

In a perfect world, we would all have amazing skin products that did everything we need. Products that tackle multiple issues like ageing, acne, pigmentation etc with state of the art dynamic ingredients, but somehow are dirt cheap rather than the usual eye watering prices that mean most of us simply can’t afford them.

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?

The Best Moisturisers with an SPF

Glynis BarberSkincare 9 Comments

Every dermatologist I’ve ever spoken to is adamant that we should all be wearing an SPF all year round. I did this for many years but in recent years I must confess I’ve let it slide.
