There's no big mystery to this post and it's not rocket science - just simple mathematics and a couple of excellent, unfussy ingredients. I'm going to tell you how I make the most luxurious and effective bath soak for about fifty pence a go; a bath soak that genuinely...
Since having babies my bodycare regime has dwindled down to the absolute necessities; hacking through my plantations of leg hair once a month and making sure that my shins, which have a tendency to be as dry and crackled as ancient treasure maps, are regularly...
Dr Teal's bath salts are so good I've just ordered some more. Which might sound like a bit of a non-statement (if you like something then why on earth wouldn't you order more?) but when you have a whole shelfload of things waiting to be tested - bottles of bath oils...
I'm surprised to find that I haven't ever done a full and proper review on Ameliorate's cult body treatment, the lactic acid-loaded Transforming Body Lotion. I thought I had, but if I have then I can't see it! Which wouldn't be surprising, to be honest, because I...
After the best summer in living memory (for me, at least; those older have enjoyed banging on about the summer of '76 which was, of course, hotter, longer and tougher) we find ourselves hurtling into autumn. The leaves are starting to fall, the nights are drawing in...
I inadvertently opened up what can only be described as a "beauty time capsule" the other day and was almost knocked sideways by the smell that came out of it. I was looking for some bikini hair removal cream (as you do, once a year if you're me - it's wedding...
Oh hallelujah! (I managed to spell hallelujah correctly the first time then, by the way, which is something of a miracle. Some words are just meant to be Googled - diarrhoea is one of them - and some words are destined to remain unspellable for your entire lifetime....
Here's a very effective and affordable face treat for you, if you're after something light, hydrating and sensibly formulated. Suitable for sensitive, itchy or very dry skin (as well as skin with no particular complaints), CeraVe's Moisturising Lotion comes in a...
I've tried a lot of these "relaxing" bath oils now - mainly due to the fact that I seem to live in a permanent state of self-induced life-stress - and I can tell you that the Deep Relax from Aromatherapy Associates is one of the very best. I seem have two functional...
The current run of hot weather has provided an excellent opportunity for me to properly test some of the deodorants that I've had lined up along my bathroom shelf. I'm not usually the sweatiest of people and so it takes a very warm day for me to get a proper bit of...
I must confess to having not done very well with my stretch-mark-oil testing duties, this pregnancy. I've been on the body balms instead (a round-up of those is imminent) even though oils are, I would suspect, slightly more effective when it comes to keeping the skin...
Well this is just extraordinary. It has to be the most un-seasonal seasonal beauty release I've ever happened upon: a winter launch of a fragrance product that is so summery, so reminiscent of tropical islands and hot holidays and steamy evenings, it's virtually...
