It’s not often that I champion a single brand to be taken up by independents – it’s not really what us journalists with integrity do – but on this occasion, I’m willing to break my rule. Effective, innovative and the first commercial venture of its kind in the NHS, My Trusty is a pioneering range […]
Just five months into the year, and Google already has a clear front-runner when it comes to the most searched beauty trend of 2017: masking.

Last month I joined the special 90th birthday celebrations for Weleda’s pioneering Skin Food product. Made from a 100% natural blend of plant extracts in a thick, rich base, this whole body moisturizer has been nourishing the nation’s skin since 1926 when it was first formulated by the brand’s visionary founder Rudolf Steiner. There can’t […]
Summer solstice (solstice derived from the Latin word sol, meaning ‘sun’) happens around 21 June, and is the longest day of the year.
