I think that most of us are now pretty clued up about the fact that sunscreen needs to be a mandatory part of our beauty routines. We've long known about the risk of skin cancer but sun exposure is also the leading cause of skin ageing. So if there's one singular...
I've been sunscreen testing again and these are my current five SPF favourites. I'm pretty picky when it comes to sunscreen for the face - I like a lightweight feel and a traceless finish - but thankfully formulations have improved massively over the past few years...
Struggling to find a sunscreen that doesn't make you want to claw your own face off with one of those plastic spaghetti spoons? My three current favourites might give you some inspiration. They're all virtually undetectable on the skin with pleasant, lightweight...
I'm supposed to be concentrating on getting my app launched (The Night Feed, it's almost finished!) but I couldn't let a quick review of this new SPF from Elizabeth Arden slip through the net. Because Great 8 Eight Hour Daily Defense Moisturiser SPF35 is absurdly...
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) Oh blimey, the summer's almost over (the air was distinctly autumnal when I went out to feed the chickens this morning) (most twattish thing I've ever written) (let's move on) and I still...
I feel as though I've almost written an entire review on this sunscreen already, but as the mentions are dotted about in different posts I thought I'd collate all of the information into one neat review. Because this CeraVe Facial Moisturising Lotion with SPF 25 is a...
Writing my last skincare post, the one where I talk about trying to find an SPF that my Mum will wear, reminded me that I had, in fact, made rather a nice discovery when I was at her house the other weekend. I was rootling about in her bedside drawers, as you do (does...
I don't know whether you saw me mention on my Instagram page (you can follow me here if you would like to see pictures of my face, my cat, my dog and my house - it's all going on!) but I've been appearing in a brilliant Mother's Day campaign for L'Oreal...
A gentle reminder, now that we are moving into Summer Proper with its pub garden drinking sessions and impromptu al fresco lunches, to use a sunscreen. Whether you usually go in for a water resistant, pile-it-on-thick SPF 50 or something a little less robust, make...
A surprise entry into my "favourite SPFs" category: the new Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30 from Elemis. I'm a bit dithery about the original Marine Cream; I like the silky, fast-absorbing feel, but at the same time it doesn't have quite the moisturising "oomph" that...
Fans of La Roche-Posay's Effaclar Duo rejoice: they have released a new version of their highly effective spot treatment, this time with an added SPF. Effaclar Duo+ SPF30 has the same basic formula as the original, helping to minimise the size and appearance of spots...
As many of you will know, I often make videos for the Beauty Recommended channel, which is owned by P&G*, and in preparation for these videos I get to trial lots of different products. Whitening toothpastes, new razors, brightening face creams, I give them all a...
