The Japanese beauty industry is well known for it’s innovation, with many products landing on ‘cult beauty buy’ lists around the world, and a selection of these become available at a premium online here in the west. So this time last year when I was preparing to travel to Japan, I researched the beauty products … Continue reading
Beauty brand Melvita recently launched a new product: Nectar Bright Brightening Duo*, which is a blend of floral water and oil designed to gently exfoliate skin and bring back ‘a radiant, uniform and hydrated complexion’.

Caudalíe has been one of my favourite skincare brands ever since my French pharmacy shopping experience, so when I met several of the team behind the brand at the Professional Beauty Show I was properly fan-girling. Luckily for me they weren’t weirded out, and even indulged me with a chat! This post is a little writeup about … Continue reading
Skin care is both the easiest and hardest part of my holiday packing: easy because I know what (cleanser, moisturiser, toner…) I need to bring, hard because I need to figure out which products will be the best ‘what’ for that particular trip and the skincare needs that that climate will present.

This is a blog post I’ve been meaning to write for a while. Well over a year, in fact, but one excuse lead to another and I never got around to it. But a couple of weeks ago a colleague approached me for some advice about managing acneic skin. They asked if I could email it over … Continue reading
I love trying out skincare products that are new to me, and especially if they’re new to market! (Who doesn’t love feeling like they’re in the know?)
