When you hear the word serum what do you think of? Powerful elixirs, magic formulas, eternal youth; so many women only have to see such a small brown bottle with pipette to make a grab for their purse. Me too. Until creams became my work…. A pity, because it’s nice having something to believe in! Because I [...]

After spending a great week in the snow I’m now back and focused on a new piece for the blog. It’s a bit of a shame that despite all my good advice I’m now sitting behind my computer with two big white eyes (from my enormous sunglasses)… seven days of sun at 2000 metres altitude with [...]

Although, during the course of the day, most of my eye make-up ends up below instead of above my eyes, it is still not easy to remove it completely at night. I do this religiously though as good cleaning is important! Make-up residue can irritate your eyes and cause skin problems. I have tried a [...]

I have written previously about the toner (see here). There are quite a lot of discussions among Dermatologists as to whether using a toner is worthwhile.

A facial wash. Or a cleanser. I have previously written a blog about the usefulness of this product; by keeping your skin clean you reduce the risk of impurities, infection and a dull skin and the other skincare products can do their work even more effectively.

Did I feel guilty this morning when I woke up! For the first time in 18 months I haven’t managed to write a new piece in my blog within a week…. And although I would like to say that it is because of all the presentations that needed to be made, books that need to [...]
Help with choosing your sun cream
Yes, the sun cream. Which ones shouldn’t and which ones should you use? Trying to find a good sun cream is even difficult for me! And unfortunately, I still haven’t found the perfect sun cream. This is actually quite bizarre with all the products on the market. Complete amazement… Whether I’m in New York, Marrakesh, Ibiza or [...]
