Announcing the next big anti-aging skin care trend……

Brightening the skin, (creating a complexion that is even-toned and without dark spots and pigmentation) is, I would say, even bigger a focus in the beauty industry currently than fighting lines and wrinkles. Why? I’ll tell you why: There have been a rash of studies over the past few years that have shown the way human eyes perceive age, healthiness and youth in others weighs far more on evenness of the skin tone over the amount of lines and wrinkles. And get this: having uneven skin tone (pigmentation, dark spots etc) can add up to TWENTY years of age perception. (Awesome news for those without fake ID, I guess.)

A non-drying, anti-aging lipstick in sweet musky pink:…

It is no secret that I am quite fond of a musky pink lip. (Unless you work for the Nude Lip Society, in which case it definitely is. You guys are maniacs! You slash my tyres if you catch me wearing anything but your gear!) And I found one last week (or rather, it found me) that I gotta tell you about. ... more

UPDATED: Wedding, big event or book launch coming up?…

In the lead up to a book launch, when there are generally a rash (it’s okay - non-contagious) of photo shoots and appearances on the telly and so on, I perform a very simple, very effective maneuver to ensure my skin is a rude shade of health for said shoots and appearances. I book in for Omnilux.... more

Coenzyme Q10: Definitely an ingredient worth befriending.…

Coenzyme Q10 is a bit of a skincare heavyweight. A bit of a Tony Soprano. It is ubiquitous (exists in every cell of the body), important (is vitally important for cell functioning and plays a major role in energy production) and is a pretty impressive protector (an exceptional antioxidant). ... more

UPDATED: Another step to your skincare routine: worth…

It occurred to me yesterday that I have performed an epic new product fail. I haven’t told you guys about Lancome’s Genefique, which went on sale back in May, and comes with the magnanimous claim of delivering visibly younger skin in seven days. It’s one of the new breed, ‘genetic’ skin care products that make my head spin a little bit when I try to articulate what they do. ... more

Sunday Telegraph Column: Tale to Keep Close To Your…

A friend told me recently that her boyfriend was sick of sleeping with her. Literally, not in a sexy times way. His frustration, she hypothesised, probably stemmed from the fact she sleeps with rolled-up towels around her head, neck and shoulders in an effort to train herself to sleep on her back. And why does she want to sleep on her back? Because she’s trying to avoid, or at least slow down the rate of her cleavage wrinkles… caused largely by sleeping on your side.

Cleavage Lines: The secret wrinkles you might be missing…

Once upon a time, in a mystical land called Sydney, a young woman stumbled to the bathroom after waking up and began her usual cleanse-moisturise face business. But something wasn’t right. Something had changed.... where previously the skin on her chest had been smooth, now sat a small band of renegade wrinkles. ... more

The BIG Skin Trend of the Moment, and how to get it…

I know runway photos and backstage shots are always beautiful 15-year old models from Lithuania and for most of us, having skin that looks that clear and dewy and radiant is laughable. Ha! Ha ha ha, your skin says! But guys, I can’t tell you enough how much a difference the foundation you’re using has to do with this. Put it like this: Your foundation could be making you look five years older, or five years younger - it’s your call. But once you see the flawless, youthful glow on this bird backstage at the Icebergs A/W ‘09 show, I reckon I know what your answer will be…... more

London Fashion Week begins, Kanye West does a Seinfeld…

We say toots babe to New York, and we say hello to London Fashion week, and we say what the f*ck are you wearing to Kanye West. I’m sorry, but when a man steps out wearing sneakers (not the cool ones, Seinfeld ones), ‘90s jeans, a cropped stonewashed denim jacket (done up) and a blazer to a fashion show, or even to buy milk, I can’t help thinking we are all being TRICKED by the fashion world, celebrities and hopefully, camera lenses. ... more
