IPL skin rejuvenation with Pulse Dermatology & Laser
A few months ago I was lucky enough to be sat in the chair of Amy Bowie of Pulse Dermatology and Laser in Kenridge (I’m not going to lie, I had no idea where that was, but it’s just past Tyger Valley.)

Dermaquest C Infusion Serum
There are so many skincare launches; I’m struggling to keep up with my testing. I’ve been very slack on posting, too, so expect a deluge of skincare reviews this month from the products I’ve been testing for the last few months (I haven’t been testing them ALL at the same time.) The first of which is a fabulous Vitamin C serum from Dermaquest. For the last few years, skincare has been all about acids and retinol, and now Vitamin C is having its moment to shine. Hurrah for that – I love Vitamin C and have been using it on my skin for years (Environ C-Boost was my go-to for…

Afari Skincare is here
I can honestly say I’ve never been so excited about a brand launch in the 15 years I’ve been writing about products. Yes, it’s the brainchild of a dear friend of mine, but is an incredible range that not only targets pigmentation and the first signs of aging, it gives back to the women that harvest the range’s active ingredient. Say hello to Afari, a local skincare range rooted in tradition, refined by science. The range was created by founder, Margaux, (who has an impressive beauty pedigree, having been the Beauty Editor at Glamour and a founder of Rubybox) to target the skin concerns that we all struggle with in…

My skin and I have a complicated relationship. Yes, I abuse it by testing too many products, but to be fair, it was pretty badly behaved before I started doing that anyway.

The Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Great 8 is a product worthy of its name.

Dermalogica Sound Sleep Cocoon (& giveaway)
We all know our skin repairs itself at night, so it makes sense it help it along. I hardly ever use night creams, as I find most of them far too rich - even my dry skin. That was until I tried Dermalogica’s Sound Sleep Cocoon.

Phyto Pro Collagen Booster
Collagen powders – there is so much hype around them at the moment, and SO many opinions. Most doctors I have spoken to say that many won’t make a massive difference to your skin, but a supplement that helps you make collagen will...

Younilook Mirror Lenses
I’ve been reviewing beauty products for 15 years, and there isn’t much I haven’t seen. So when something lands in my inbox, and I think, ‘that is GENIUS’, it must be unique.

Clicks Beauty Box
A little while ago, Clicks sent me a box of beauty goodies to try, and while I’d tried a few of them before, the majority were brand new to me. Chances are there are some products that you’ve haven’t tried, either, so here are my mini review of everything in the box.

Nikel first impressions
I realise I’m quite late to the party on this one, but until a few months ago, I had never tried any Nikel products. I was kindly sent two of their products to try, so here are my thoughts.

A few empties you should know about
In my line of work, it’s somewhat of a miracle to actually use up every single drop of a product. There is always something else to test before I get to end of a product. So when I actually have empties, you can be assured that I absolutely loved whatever was inside.

Exuviance Probiotic Lysate Anti-Pollution
Sometimes our gut needs the help of a probiotic to get it working at optimum efficiency, and now we can offer the same to our skin. The surface of our skin is home to million of bacteria. A healthy skin will have enough ‘good’ bacteria to keep out the ‘bad’.
