So you’ve taken the plunge and booked an appointment to get your lines smoothed out - Very exciting!  But how will you feel afterwards? And will you look OK to go straight back to work after having Botox? Immediately after, you will be very aware that ‘something’ has...

There’s a good reason why a lot of skin products don’t actually do much: Despite all their snazzy marketing campaigns and big promises, most fail to do exactly what they say on the tin!  Why? Because the active ingredient in the product is minimal. If you've not...

So, at this point, you’ll have had your full consultation and skin analysis, (you will find all the details and booking info here), and you’ll also already know exactly what your skin needs in order to glow and stay super healthy. As a result of what you've learned,...

While there are many skincare products which I don't care for (that's another article *adds to to-do list*), there are only a handful of skincare products which I LOVE. One of these is, you guessed it - the topical antioxidant! As we're all aware, there are many...

  Will having Botox hurt? The truth is, if there’s a needle involved, it might hurt a little, you will feel something.  I am often asked 'Do Botox injections hurt?'  The key to this, as with any injection, is to try to relax (easier for some than others, I know)....

Here it is, my first review!  Im very excited about doing these because not only do I get to try out new treatments but I get to share my findings with you.  Yay! I'll jump straight in… Over the past few months I’ve been having IPL (Intense Pulse Light) on my face to...

Glamourous celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Cameron Diaz have both suffered from, and overcome adult acne - so there is relief out there! I often get asked 'Why am I getting spots at my age?' Fact: More than 80% of cases of adult acne occur in women, and...

Product focus- Retexturing Activator This gorgeous dual-action serum simultaneously exfoliates skin and replenishes moisture for radiant and smoother looking skin.  I love to apply this before bed at night and leave it to work its magic - then wake up with super...

Simply put, pigmentation is the colour in our skin ( hair and eyes). We all have different amounts of pigment in our skin and this is determined by the amount of melanin (the colour) which our bodies produces. The amount of melanin produced depends on two things: One...

I always get excited when a new Skinceuticals product is released. ...not because I get invited to a launch evening in a posh London hotel and not because I get a new toy to play with... but mostly because Skinceuticals products are tried, tested, researched, improved...

When it's time to buy gifts for my Mum, I know I have a little bit of a head start as I have access to some of the best skin products around and luckily, like me, my Mum wants gorgeous glowing skin! I like to treat Mum to new skin products for Mothers day and her...

We’ve all heard of Botox (Botulinum toxin) and although most people have an opinion about it they don’t really know what it actually is, or how it works.  So I wanted to briefly explain… Cosmetically, Botox is used to temporarily improve the look of some facial lines...

I know you’re probably thinking ‘Yeah yeah, I’ve heard of these so-called miracle products before’ but give me a minute to explain, because I am just as skeptical (probably more actually) of skincare products as you are. Believe me when I say I rarely trust these big...

  Are Botox injections Safe? Surprisingly, not many people ask me the question "Are Botox injections Safe" directly out-right, but they do ask online and it certainly gets googled, a-lot and rightly so! If you have an opinion about Botox injections, then you...

In my experience, these fabulous anti-wrinkle injections tend to last between 3-7 months.  Your body will naturally metabolise away the Botox over time, just like any medication we are given. I realize that 3-7 months is quite a vague time frame, but there are a few...

Your evening skin routine should be very different to your morning skincare routine. Overnight our skin regenerates, rests and recovers from the day (Just like we do!). Now, as our skin starts to age (from our mid-20’s..Eeek!) this regenerating process begins to slow...

So, in the mornings we need to remove the sweat and dirt we’ve acquired through the night, then we need to protect our skin from all the exposure it is going to get throughout the day.  Think weather, pollution, stress, AC... Now, I know we are all very busy and there...
