Just a few short years ago, I had hardly even heard of rosacea. I wasn’t sure what it was and felt certain it wasn’t something I needed to know about. But the fact is, with age, specially from the menopause onwards, rosacea becomes a more and more common condition. It turns out I have a mild form of rosacea A …
How I give my hair beach waves
I’ve been asked so many times to show how I do my hair and here it finally is. I’m no hair whizz, trust me, so I’ve put it off as long as I can. However, thinking about it, I think that’s a good thing because if I can do it, so can you. Of course it totally depends on your …
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, …
Is NAD the ultimate youth supplement? (video)
As we all know, levels of everything decline with age, from collagen to the ability to absorb nutrients to the ability of the body to mop up all the debris from inter cellular activity.

It’s probably the most important component of our biology. The surprising fact is that our collagen starts to diminish in our twenties By the time we reach our forties, this diminishing really starts to …

How to tackle pigmentation (video)
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.

How to use bronzer (video)
I have to admit that I’ve never been much of a bronzer fan. And it’s not for lack of desire or want of trying. I’ve bought my fair share of products over the years but wasn’t ever happy with any of them. I never achieved the sun kissed look that I wanted or looked tanned in even a vaguely natural …
How social media is impacting us (video)
I was inspired to sit down and talk to hypnotherapist Zoë Clews after she wrote an article about the Metaverse. Things are now moving so quickly and whether you’re interested in the subject or not, it’s hard to dismiss.
