A gem of a skincare range that’s low cost

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare Leave a Comment

How wonderful to find a skincare range that has such effective products, with cutting-edge, active ingredients, at very affordable prices. DoSe really is a gem of a range The truth is that with most expensive products, you are paying for packaging and advertising. They often use the same ingredients as good quality, low cost brands like DoSe. That’s why I …

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 loved the fact that I was eschewing chemicals, not only in my diet, but in my beauty routine as well. I thought that my skin was holding up rather well, but then two things happened. I turned sixty and I …

ARK’s top 3 skin products

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare Leave a Comment

I just love the ARK skincare range as it ticks so many boxes for me. Lots of natural ingredients while still having all the active ingredients needed in a mature skin. ARK has some really game-changing hero products I thought I would ask Tamsin Styles which are her favourite products in the whole range, as no-one knows the products and …

Meet the next generation of AHA’s

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare 3 Comments

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA’s) were a revelation and literally life changing when they first appeared a few decades ago. They smooth and exfoliate skin without having to use an abrasive, physical scrub, leaving skin softer and smoother. And most are very gentle BUT they can cause irritation in some people. But now there’s a new generation of AHA’s Gentle and …

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 …

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, …

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 skin under the microscope (Part 1) – The reality

Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare 8 Comments

Way back in February, before lockdown, before the new corona virus turned our lives upside down, I found myself on Harley Street with an hour or so to kill. I decided to call in on the lovely Lesley Reynolds, co-founder of The Harley Street Skin Clinic, to see if she had time for a cup of tea and a chin …

Marie Reynolds is one of the most sought after skin experts in the UK. I’m lucky enough to have had a few treatments with her including her superb Master Lift. I was very excited when she brought out a few skin products earlier this year and they were as wonderful and innovative as you would expect from a holistic expert …
