Cetaphil’s original Gentle Skin Cleanser has been one of my favourites for a long time. The only reason I don’t use it every day is because it doesn’t remove makeup as quickly as some other cleansers.
Recently Cetaphil added a second cleanser to their range, the Oily Skin Cleanser (pictured). After a few months of trialing [...]
Last week I saw the new Bond film “Quantum of Solace”.
There was a scene which involved M (Judi Dench) removing her make-up while on a call with Bond (Daniel Craig). At the time I felt the scene was very un-Bond-like and a little out of place. Why I am mentioning it here (beauty blog [...]
It’s during this time of the year, more than any other, that I’m prone to milia and see it on a lot of clients. Have you ever had it?
Milia are the technical term for whiteheads and are the result of clogged pores. It’s no surprise that our pores are challenged, with the increasing humidity and [...]

Is your scarf making your neck itch?
The scarf is a great trans-seasonal accessory, keeping us warm in winter and protecting our neck from the summer sun. For many of us the downside is itchy skin and small bumps on our neck.
Thankfully, you don’t need to ditch the scarf to ditch the itch. But you [...]
How much do we expect from our cleanser?
