It’s rare for me to use a moisturising mask; I’m usually far more focused on deep cleansing, clarifying and exfoliating to think about hydrating treatments. Yesterday, however, I woke up with particularly parched skin (and a banging hangover, but that’s…
You probably know by now that I don’t champion the use of face wipes for a proper, makeup-removing cleanse, but I do think that some of these disposable what-nots have their place in the beauty cabinet. For quick, emergency cleansing…
Another facial to add to my list of favourites; the Valmont Energy Ritual at Harrod’s Urban Retreat. I was at Harrods to have a little introduction to Valmont’s latest product launch, the Time Master Intensive Program, which is a month-long treatment of powerful serums that tackle…
This was taken on “one of those days” – puffy, tired, sore eyes, but lots of work to do and no chance to lie down and relax for a few minutes. Hence the eye masks underneath the spectacles. You wouldn’t think that…
Ha! How angry does this mask make me look? It’s brilliant! I’d quite like to keep it on for a whole day and watch people’s reactions as I go about my usual business. “A croissant and a fresh orange juice…

In a way, I wish that I had never discovered Sisley. You may remember how I was introduced to the brand (that fateful day in the Maldives) you may not – here’s the little tale: How I Met Sisley. Life…
I haven’t started the January ‘detox’ (involves drinking less and eating less, nothing particularly difficult about it!) but I wanted to show you a picture of my face pre-Christmas. Glowy, healthy, radiant… I can assure you that this effect was…
Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Banging headache? Greasy skin? A belly fit to burst? Can you still taste white wine in your mouth? That ‘special’ cider that you got in the hamper from Auntie Marge? That Duff beer that…
