Some beauty shopping scenarios for you, tick all that apply: – you’re in need of a skincare restock but don’t know where to begin – you’ve saved up for a beauty treat but want something that truly delivers on results – you’re sad that summer is coming to an end and desperate to prolong your…

New Diprobase Products: Testing En Famille | AD

Since having babies my bodycare regime has dwindled down to the absolute necessities; hacking through my plantations of leg hair once a month and making sure that my shins, which have a tendency to be as dry and crackled as ancient treasure maps, are regularly moisturised. In pregnancy I oiled religiously. I scrubbed. I filed…

Autumn, Dry Skin and the Aveeno Dermexa range | AD

After the best summer in living memory (for me, at least; those older have enjoyed banging on about the summer of ’76 which was, of course, hotter, longer and tougher) we find ourselves hurtling into autumn. The leaves are starting to fall, the nights are drawing in and we’re all desperately trying to not talk…

Luxury Summer Skin Prep with Anne Sémonin | AD

It seems like only yesterday, but it’s actually a whole year since I wrote my post on the Anne Sémonin made-to-measure skincare routine I had been prescribed. You can read about that here, if you’d like a quick trip down memory lane!) It was quite a complex routine, involving daily masks and mixable concentrates, toners…

Improving on Perfection: l’Occitane’s Delightful Body Balm

Oh hallelujah! (I managed to spell hallelujah correctly the first time then, by the way, which is something of a miracle. Some words are just meant to be Googled – diarrhoea is one of them – and some words are destined to remain unspellable for your entire lifetime. Actually, diarrhoea is one of those too. Which…

Sunscreen Review: Vichy Tan Enhancing Solar Protective Water

Sunscreen reviews: it’s been a while. Mainly because (until recently) I hadn’t been anywhere hot for almost four years. And to properly test out sun protection, to really get to grips with the texture and the effectiveness and the pros and the cons of a particular product, you need a good long stint of testing…

l’Occitane Supple Skin Oil: Nourishing the Alien Egg

I must confess to having not done very well with my stretch-mark-oil testing duties, this pregnancy. I’ve been on the body balms instead (a round-up of those is imminent) even though oils are, I would suspect, slightly more effective when it comes to keeping the skin on my body nice and supple. But I make a…

Vita Liberata Body Blur: Instant Air-Brush for the Legs

I’ve long been a fan of Vita Liberata’s Capture the Light skin perfector; it adds a tint, a touch of glow and somehow seems to blur imperfections, leaving your legs looking as though they are clad in some sort of invisible miracle tights. Capture the Light has been relaunched as Body Blur Instant HD Skin Finish, and it’s every…
