Smoking, Surgery and My Skin At 38

Smoking, Surgery and My Skin At 38

Here's a visual delight for you; over 15 minutes of beauty confessional from Yours Truly. I talk about the Ten Year Challenge that took over Instagram and how I feel about my skin now that I'm 38, all via a chat about smoking and cosmetic surgery. So if you've ever...

My Top 5 Most-Used Foundations

My Top 5 Most-Used Foundations

I've used the term "foundation" loosely, here, because I mean it to incorporate other face bases such as tinted moisturiser, BB creams and complexion enhancers as well as the traditional high-coverage foundation. In truth, no BB creams or CC creams come anywhere near...

Beauty Products for Dehydrated Skin

Beauty Products for Dehydrated Skin

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...

Skincare Products for Hormonal Skin

Skincare Products for Hormonal Skin

My monthly hormones have returned from their extended pregnancy/breastfeeding hiatus and are attacking my poor skin with extra enthusiasm. Sore-feeling spots that brew just beneath the surface and an oily t-zone, but at the same time I have a bit of sensitivity and a...

Wonder Product: The Goddess Skin Clay Mask

Wonder Product: The Goddess Skin Clay Mask

Brace yourselves against the sheer force of my positive vibes here, because this little face mask is a bit of a blinder. (Not literally, that would be terrible! I haven't actually put it in my eyes, so I can't be 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make you...

Egyptian Magic – Backstage Beauty Buy!

Egyptian Magic – Backstage Beauty Buy!

 I keep seeing this cropping up in various 'backstage beauty secret' articles so I thought I'd give it a whirl. You know how I like my balms! First point to note: this says it's a cream, but it's most definitely a balm. Anything that is almost solid but then melts...

Caudalie Quenching Sorbet-Creme

I have used Caudalie products ever since I first started modelling. A friend, who also happened to be a booker at a top Paris agency, left her Caudalie foaming cleanser at my house and I forgot to return it (sorry!) and ever since then, I've been hooked! I find the...
