There are very few skincare brands that I would say are universally loved. Sure, there might be one particular name that crops up over and over again, dipping in and out of popularity as new product launches come and go, but for a brand to have a reputation that refuses to falter no matter what? Virtually unheard of. However, there is one exception. In all my time working in the beauty industry, I can’t recall a single negative word being said about Elemis.  Responsible for producing spa-like skincare products that champion natural ingredients blended with high-tech science, Elemis is the number one “anti-ageing” skincare brand in the UK for good reason. Mainly, it’s because its Pro-Collagen range is just so unbelievably good. Loved by celebrities, beauty ed...

As a beauty editor, I am an eager and enthusiastic beauty guinea pig. I will happily experiment with the latest makeup trends and volunteer for all manner of professional facial treatments. I’ve tried full-body mud wraps, laser hair removal, flotation tanks, and I’ve got the #content to prove it. However, it’s admittedly taken me a few years to feel comfortable with the idea of (semi) permanently altering the appearance of my face. I’m talking, of course, about lip filler. Now one of the most-googled aesthetic treatments in the UK, lip filler has been embraced by everyone from celebrities and models to my fellow beauty editors and some of my closest friends. But it’s also one of the most misconstrued aesthetic treatments. Like many others, for years I was put off by the botched jobs that c...

Foundation is a very personal makeup preference for every person who wears it. Some prefer a lightweight coverage that gives the skin a subtle tint, whereas others may favour a full-coverage formula for a flawless finish. Your skin type can also have a big influence on what foundations work for you. Mattifying and oil-control formulas may be better suited to oily or acne-prone skin types, whereas dry skin types may fare better with hydrating and oil-based textures that nourish the skin as your wear them. The good news is that there are so many foundations out there, with many brands now offering a diverse range of shades to achieve a perfect match. The bad news is that it can be overwhelming to find a foundation that fits your needs and your budget and works with your s...

According to Shari Marchbein, MD, FAAD, the benefits of cold cream vary, but most people use it as a gentle makeup remover that won’t strip the skin thanks to its potent hydration properties. “Moisturising your skin is essential to help keep it hydrated and to help counteract the appearance of fine lines and/or the signs of skin discolouration,” she tells us. “A suitable moisturiser like a cold cream can help prevent dryness, improve tone and texture, and protect the outer layer of the skin. Replenishing skin’s natural moisture balance by moisturising daily is important, as environmental factors such as severe weather and sun can dry your skin and make it look dull.” Another benefit of cold cream? Its versatility! Marchbein explains that pretty much anyo...

Eye cream is one of those skincare products most of us still aren’t sure we actually need. While more mature skin can really benefit from an eye cream in order to target fine lines and wrinkles (if that’s what floats your boat), it can feel unnecessary for younger skin types or people who just aren’t fussed about disguising the signs of ageing. So can’t we just use our usual moisturisers all over our faces? Turns out no. “A great eye cream has a formula which is gentle enough for the most delicate skin on our body,” explain VenEffect founders Rebecca and Cecil Booth. The skin around the eyes is particularly sensitive (and some of the thinnest on your face); therefore, it needs a special type of product. Booth recommends an eye treatment that...

At this point, I’d been experiencing cystic acne for years, and my skin was getting worse and really getting me down (not to mention the acne scarring aftermath of each breakout). I’d had a hunch for a long time that no matter what I put on my skin, it wouldn’t work, as there was something going on internally. I’d lost count of how many times I had visited the GP. Exasperated, I returned to my doctor again, who was sympathetic towards skin conditions, and she referred me to see a dermatologist through the NHS.  Getting this dermatologist appointment was a real breakthrough, as I felt I was finally being understood. At the time of my appointment, I was experiencing an eczema flare too, but she reassured me that we could address my hormonal acne at the same time ...
