This post on antioxidants has been in my drafts folder since 2012 and, as I have a few skincare posts coming up that talk about antioxidants, I thought that I'd bite the bullet and get it finished off. I've even brightened up the page with some product shots that...
The summer always takes me by surprise. God only knows how, because I wait for it with every fibre of my being! But the British weather being unpredictable as it is, you get lulled into a kind of ambivalence and then, when the sun finally comes out in full force, you...
Oh dear, I look rather threatening in the photograph above, don't I? I'm brandishing my monthly favourites in one hand whilst wearing a somewhat hostile expression - not intentionally, I hasten to add. I just tend to get very fed up by the time I've filmed a video...
Another "dastardly duo" video with Caroline Hirons; this time it's my morning skincare routine. (You can see Caroline's one here.) I must explain in advance that when I went to film the first set of videos with Caroline, we weren't quite sure exactly what we were...
Some lovely face washes for you - I've had these on the side of my sink for the past month or so and have been using them on rotation. Usually for my morning cleanse, because I do like to save the more luxurious routine with a thick cleansing balm and a "hot cloth"...
I was sceptical about Bravura's Dermaflannel. The "revolutionary product that provides you with the results of superficial chemical peel using the purity of water" looked like nothing more than a bobbly washcloth with a pretty logo sewn on at the corner. It was a big...
1) I'm home. Boo hoo. I'd quite like to rewind time by about 72 hours and be back on a sunlounger, drinking a Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri (addictive, I must have consumed about twenty over the course of six days) and reading Complete Short Stories by Elizabeth Taylor....
Just a quick reminder, because I haven't yet put out my summer SPF posts: please please please wear a daily sunscreen if you're using any products with AHAs or retinol or anything that sensitises the skin at all. I mean, wear an SPF anyway, but wear a very thorough...
1) I am at the Television BAFTAS all day today - hopefully by the time you read this I will have actually decided what to wear! It's a choice between a Celine dress - coral, very 70's glam - and an incredible Jenny Packham number that I've had in my wardrobe for over...
I keep meaning to post this up and forgetting - it's a feedback email from Hannah, who was one of the winners of the StriVectin giveaway held earlier this year. I like reader feedback from giveaways - I think it's very valuable for many reasons, but mostly because...
I'm not sure that it's entirely necessary to use an eye cream with SPF. Not in the UK, anyway. Most of us, if we are out in "normal" daylight, will be wearing some kind of concealer or foundation that contains an SPF. If it's very hot, then we'll usually have taken...
I have absolutely no quibbles with this concealer - I think that it's fabulous. Oh, hold on, I've thought of a quibble: the name. Why on earth is it called "No Concealer Concealer"? That makes no sense. It's very much a concealer - it should, if anything, be...
