I find it relatively easy and enjoyable to test and monitor the results of skincare for dehydrated skin; not only are these types of products usually light and fresh-feeling and suitable for use nearly all of the time, their effects are often pleasingly noticeable and...
Starting off the new week with a skincare video; here's a roundup of the beauty products I've been slathering on my face in an attempt to beat the dreaded "winter dryness". I think my horrifically dry and tight skin has been more down to being ill rather than the...
I wanted to give this sumptuous, buttery face moisturiser a bit more of a try before writing a full review, but I've noticed that it has a third off at Escentual.com at the moment and - as it's not exactly cheap - thought that I'd give it an early shout-out....
Oh, this little mask is all kinds of wonderful. I haven't been getting much sleep recently (have I mentioned that? Oh, at least fifteen thousand times. Sorry) and my skin has been a bit dry and crappy and - I don't know - kind of baggy feeling. As though there's no...
Testing out retinol serums and creams had been next on my "skincare to-do list" - retinol seems to be a genuine super-ingredient that has been proven to help fine lines and wrinkles, increase collagen production and help the skin to look and feel younger; but then I...
A few weeks ago I embarked on a bit of a mission: to improve the quality of my sleep. It would be completely unrealistic to expect to be able to get more sleep, because I have a new baby and am juggling work, family and a dog who likes to get up to do a wee in the...
L'Occitane are running a nice campaign at the moment; visit the My Beauty Story website and answer three quick questions about you and your skin and you'll be recommended one of four lovely moisturisers to try for free. I'm a total sucker for miniature beauty and the...
Clinique's 3-Step skincare system seems to divide people, opinion-wise, like no other beauty product I've seen. There are those that have used it religiously (and successfully) since their teens, and there are those who are so vehemently anti-three-step they would...
I've been using the same four skincare products, more or less, for the past twelve weeks. Out of necessity rather than choice, really, because I've had to whittle down my product arsenal to the absolute bare minimum, but that's not to say that I haven't enjoyed using...
I mentioned Philosophy's Renewed Hope In A Jar in the May Favourites, but it most certainly deserves its own post. This is turning out to be a very promising day cream for those looking for something that will renew and refine the skin, tackle fine lines and make dull...
There are some real product raves in this month's video roundup, but if you're an avid reader here on A Model Recommends I'm afraid you'll have already heard me bang on about quite a lot of them. Gems such as the Goddess Skin mask from Charlotte Tilbury (here),...
Just a very quick look at what I had on my face (makeup and skincare) when I shot Tuesday's Colab Competition video intro. I did it all in a bit of a rush because I needed to get the video out early in the morning, but I was nevertheless incredibly pleased at the way...
