I’ve been using these extra-special cleansers on rotation, recently, as a bit of a winter kick-start for my skin but also as a proper “time out” sort of treat. They’re not cleansers in the traditional sense, you see – you…
I’m back on the oils – I’ve got skin as parched as the bloody Sahara at the moment. Partly because we invested in a new “intelligent” central heating control which is so “intelligent” that it only knows two temperatures. Freezing…
Since the end of February my beauty stash has been gradually whittled down from the twenty-three crates that I had stowed in my filming-stroke-storage room to one solitary toiletries bag, containing mostly trial samples and travel versions of my favourite products.…
