A new video for you. Actually not that new, it went up last week, but I forgot to write a post to go with it! Lots of little beauty essentials in this video, some of which you'll have seen before, some of which you won't. I should apologise in advance for the Cicadas...
Do you have oily or combination skin (like me) that can sometimes feel tight and dry on the surface? I hate it when my face feels like that! It's my constant mission to find nice, light moisturisers that help to hydrate my skin without overloading it with oils. I...
Don't get me wrong, I love a soothing, pampering, rose-scented face pack or a chocolate-orange peel-off mask. I'm all for a bit of relaxation in a steamy bath, slathering my face in something that feels rich and unctuous and thoroughly decadent. But don't you...
By "breakout routine" I am not referring to any kind of dancing. Whatsoever. I'm really quite an odd dancer - I'm not sure whether I can even call what I do when I dance dancing. It's more a series of weird jerks and body rolls with an embarrassed, self-conscious grin...
This is the first part in a series of posts and videos on teen skincare. Obviously I'm not a teen anymore, and I'm guessing that quite a few people reading won't be teens either (though we all our inside our minds, aren't we?) but I think that much of the time we...
I originally filmed this video in March 2011, but I had to take it down because of issues with the intro. I was annoyed because it had been my most viewed video EVER, but when I was in LA I found the original video file in my MacBook backup folder! So here it is,...
For as long as I've been modelling (almost eleven years? Or is it twelve?) I've been using clay masks to help draw out impurities and keep my skin clear. I do find that you have to be a little bit organised with clay-based masks; they can be absolute dynamite at...
Remember the video I did about cleansing balms? Well this is the follow-on: DIY Home Spa Facials using masks! I'll let the video do the talking... (You may have to click though if you're not viewing via the site - sorry, but it's worth it. I'm in a gown!) I have given...
I have been a bit slack at making videos recently, but I managed to pull myself together at the weekend and actually film something! This particular vid has been on the agenda for a while, but it hasn't (until now) been cold enough to justify making a winter skincare...
I have been absolutely shattered this week (burning far too many candles at all ends!) and so my dark circles have made a bit of an appearance. I thought that I'd do a little video about my favourite cover-ups - with a few extras such as eye creams and highlighters...
I made a video on 'five great cleansing foams' and then realised that I had left out a couple of really excellent ones that I only recently discovered! So, as well as the ones described in the video I'd like to introduce the versions by Skin Science and Ole Henriksen....
A selection of products that have some kind of 'back to school' element to them. (Or college, uni, work - delete as applicable!) Some are timesavers, some are budget buys, some things are just handy to have around for quick and easy beauty maintenance. It has taken me...
