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
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 …
The amazing anti-redness serum
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)
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
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 …
The skin quencher
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 …
Marie Reynolds Skincare Range
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 …
A gem of a skincare range
I’ve tried so many fabulous natural skincare products since starting this site that I was becoming a bit blasé. In fact I have so many to get through that in all honesty I often only use them for a few days and then move on to the next ones. It’s frustrating at times and my skin has forgotten what it’s …
The New Natural Beauty
The natural and organic beauty product industry has become huge so there’s obviously a growing market for it. But how do we know what’s really natural and what isn’t? A lot of natural ingredients on labels sound like chemicals and vice versa. Are companies being entirely honest about what they’re producing? Well these are the very questions pondered by Grace …
New Faves from Green People
It’s always a cause for celebration when Green People bring out a new product, so imagine my excitement to be trying out not one but three of them? Beauty Boost Skin Restore This is a wondrous product indeed. It’s designed to give your skin a real boost by stimulating collagen, evening out redness and increasing hydration.
