A challenging year resulted in a crash course in life lessons for me. Here’s my latest article which also appeared in Hello this week. No matter our age, we never stop learning – and this has been truer than ever for me in 2024, a year that has seen me learn many life-changing lessons. Some of this year’s lessons have …
People ask me all the time what I use on my skin and what my beauty secrets are. The truth is that I use a LOT of different products, trying out everything I can get my hands on for Ageless. When I started Ageless, my normal skin routine went out the window No longer did I only use one range …
The menopause and hormones have a lot to answer for. They can play havoc with our sleep, our state of mind, our internal thermostat and additionally, it can do all kinds of things to our skin. Did you know that rosacea becomes a lot more prevalent after the menopause? It’s tricky to treat and can be triggered by all kinds …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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, …
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 …
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 …
I don’t know about you, but my skin is thirsty. And has been for years now. I feed it and it perks up a bit but by the next day it’s parched again. I think it’s a combination of age and serious sun bathing in my youth. So when Marie Reynolds latest product arrived on my door step and I …
