Still on the subject of having to wear masks, I'm sure many people are having skin issues and it's now more important than ever to look after your skin. Winter is definitely a good time to do some treatments and I have been testing the new Filorga Scrub and Detox exfoliator which is a great purifying treatment that you can do at home to combat the…

 Masks are the new accessory and your eyes will definitely be the focal point of your face in days to come. Lockdown has caused a lot of anxiety, sleepless nights and possibly a lapse in good diet and exercise routine, so it's really important to make sure that you are using the right skincare around your eyes.

Sometimes having a facial just before an important event or even before the weekend is not such a good idea- especially if it involves an exfoliation or extractions, which can leave your skin looking a bit blotchy and uneven. But I have recently tried a beautiful treatment at Skin Renewal- the Hydra facial, which left my skin looking so radiant and plump- so…

Who would have thought that the much-maligned speedo would make its way back to our beaches and worn with pride by many macho dudes? it took two risk-taking, young entrepreneurs to challenge guys to wear their briefs with pride- the incentive? Send your pics in and you could win a case of beers!

Not taking themselves too seriously, the owners of…

 There is a bewildering array of eye creams on the market, as the skin around the eyes usually gives away a person's age- or whether they smile a lot! There is no getting away from it, ageing is a process that will happen to everyone, it's inevitable, but there are certainly some products that go a long way to help with softening and plumping the…

Winter is actually the best time to do a peel, microneedling or any collagen inducing treatment of your choice- mainly because there is less chance of being exposed to too much sun, (which would cause immediate pigmentation)  but also because it’s a good idea to kick start your cell regeneration process and emerge into spring with…

Hot from new York, these boys are led by founder, Artistic Director and lead dancer Victor…

One of the most effective ways to enhance beautiful skin is a good night's sleep- restoration and repair happen at night, but what if you were to boost this night time action with active ingredients designed specifically to penetrate deeply and to treat sleep lines and puffy features? The result is smooth, firm, plumped out skin.

Filorga has…

So everyone seems to be back after the holidays and beach things are packed away- but keep your sun products out…

I was starting to feel quite rattled last week with the flurry of end of year functions and endless to-do lists when I received two beautifully packaged Buddha teas to try- the first, a Chakra tea and the second a CBD tea (the natural constituent of the cannabis plant).

These Buddha teas are now available here and they offer a selection of teas…

Sleep is such an essential part of health and well-being- there is no doubt about it. Getting your "beauty sleep" is not a myth- whenever you have a really good 7-8 hour sleep, your skin usually looks its best, as sleep is necessary for cellular regeneration and restoration. When you don't get enough, you often don't look too good.

Thankfully, I sleep…
