Sensitive Skin Reviews
Dealing with sensitive skin can be a real challenge. It’s a delicate balance, finding products that are effective yet gentle enough not to cause irritation. For those of us with sensitive skin, it’s all about reading labels and choosing skincare that’s free from harsh chemicals, fragrances, and dyes. Natural or hypoallergenic products are often a safe bet. Remember, a patch test is your best friend – it’s always wise to test a new product on a small area before fully incorporating it into your routine.
And never underestimate the power of a good, simple moisturizer to keep your skin calm and happy. It’s a journey, but with patience and careful selection, managing sensitive skin becomes much more manageable.

First Impressions: Clarins Double Serum

Unless you’ve been living in a box over the last few months, you will have undoubtedly seen posters and signage for the new Clarins Double Serum. But is it really worth it? There’s been a lot of hype surrounding this launch with an inordinate amount of PR, and I want to know if it makes…

An Exclusive Interview with Doctor Piasecki: Sun, Cancer and Successx

I was delighted to be offered the chance to interview Dr. Justin Piasecki, founder of the world renowned Skin Cancer Center in the US. Dr. Piasecki is the only surgeon in the world certified to offer this combined treatment. With his one-of-a-kind training, Dr. Piasecki pioneered plastic micrographic surgery, the unique skin cancer treatment that…

Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask

Like many, I’ve long since been a fan of the original Clinique Moisture Surge gel. I tend to have dehydrated cheeks and an oilier t-zone, which although needs very little oil boosting, is often massively dehydrated. It’s often very difficult to deliver an enormous amount of deep, multi-level hydration whilst simultaneously keeping skin matte and…

Strivectin-SD Instant Retexturizing Scrub

Inside the large box, ladened with scientific jargon, you’ll discover an incredible exfoliator, a truly fabulous product. I can’t start this review without mentioning the box, I do find it a bit silly, but I can’t stress enough how much of a wonderful product it is. On the back, it talks about engineering the formula…

Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Power Select

What’s your favourite razor? It may be a little premature, but this is already my grooming tool of 2013. Now I’m fairly new to the world of the battery powered, wet-shave razors, mainly because I honestly thought it was a load of all rubbish, a fad designed to sell the same old garbage to men…

Crème de la Mer: The Facial
Yesterday I was kindly invited to experience the luxury and wonder of a facial by Crème de la Mer. I’ve sporadically used Crème de la Mer products and never ceased to be amazed by their power and performance. It’s easy to accuse a brand such as Crème for resting on the laurels but their products…

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Foaming Gel / Astringent Lotion / Mat

Recently in Spain, through visiting one of the billion or so pharmacies that are placed around the city at every turning point (still haven’t gotten to the rout of why there’s so many) I ended up trying Toleriane Soothing Protective Skin Care as I’ve been using Tretinoin and needed something to calm my skin down.…

Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector

As men don’t really wear makeup, or much else, dark circles are something women apparently notice more and is an age giveaway as well as something that can massively increase or de-crease how healthy you look – so if you fancy improving your chances, read on. I’m a pre-existing fan of the Even Better range…

Nuxe Men Multi-Purpose Eye Cream

This is another one of my Pharmacy pick ups, after I spotted the Nuxe sign in the window and was tempted inside for a look. I didn’t actually realise the Nuxe had a dedicated Men’s line, and other than trying their dry oil, had never really explored the brand much further than that. I was…

Liz Earle For Men Try-Me Kit

I probably should have done this as my first post on Liz Earle, but better late than never. I’d heard so many things about this company from friends and bloggers alike that I knew it was time to investigate. The funny thing was is that 2 years ago, I spent about 4 months working in…
