Spring is such a funny time for our skin…One minute it feels like we are stepping into sunshine and lighter days and the next we have got chilly winds, dull grey skies and that “coat back on again” feeling. And your skin? It feels it all. If you have noticed your skin looking a bit different lately, you are not imagining it. Why does my skin feel dry but also a bit oily? This is one of the most common things I am seeing at this time of year. Spring weather can be a bit all ov

Wellness is not just a trend or a luxury reserved for special occasions. It is something we all need, at every stage of life. No matter your age, lifestyle or daily routine, taking care of your wellbeing plays a huge role in how you feel, function and show up in your everyday life. But what does wellness actually mean and why is it so important? What Is Wellness? Wellness is about more than just looking after your physical health. It is the balance of - Your body Your mind Yo

There is something about this time of year that makes people want a fresh start. The days are getting longer, the sun appears a little more often and suddenly we start noticing things we ignored all winter - hands that feel dry, skin that looks a bit dull, nails that have been hidden under gloves for months and shoulders that feel tight from busy days and cold weather. After winter, it is completely normal to feel like you need a bit of a reset. Nothing dramatic, just small t

We often expect that as soon as the sun appears, our skin and nails will bounce back too but it takes time. What Winter Actually Does To Your Hands • Cold air holds less moisture which pulls hydration from your skin. • Central heating reduces indoor humidity to desert like levels. • Blood circulation slows in cold temperatures, meaning less oxygen and nutrients reach your nails. • Nails become more brittle because they lose flexibility when dehydrated. Fun fact: Your nails ar

This week has given us a little preview of what is coming. The sun pops out, the days feel a bit lighter and you start noticing snowdrops, daffodils and buds appearing again. While nature is waking up, our skin is often still stuck in winter mode. After months of cold air, central heating, darker days and heavier products, skin can start to feel - Dry Dull Tight Patchy A bit tired looking That is completely normal. Why Skin Struggles at the End of Winter Winter quietly does a

There is something many women become very good at. Keeping everything going. Families, homes, jobs, diaries, birthdays, shopping lists, other people’s emotions… the invisible load is endless. Women carry it, often without even realising how heavy it has become. When it comes to treating her, people often reach for the obvious - flowers, chocolates or a nice candle. They are thoughtful, kind and appreciated, but if you ask most women what they truly long for, the answer is usu

It is that time of year again when the days are short, the weather is grey and wet and it feels like everyone around you has a cold or sniffle. Life can feel quiet and heavy and it is easy to feel low, demotivated or just a bit flat. The good news? Small, simple actions can make a real difference, not only to your mood but also to your immune system. Here is how to give yourself a gentle boost when life feels a little sluggish. 1. Move, Even If It is Tiny You do not need a gy

Life can feel full on. There is often noise about doing more, sorting everything out and keeping on top of everything but in reality, many of us feel the opposite - tired, slower and a bit flat. Our bodies feel tight, our skin is dry, our nails are weaker and our energy is lower than we would like but that is completely normal. Busy routines, mental load, work, family life and everyday responsibilities all take their toll. This is often when your body and mind are quietly ask

Feeling a bit Meh? Apparently today is Blue Monday, often called the most depressing day of the year. It is that awkward part of January where the Christmas sparkle has well and truly packed it's bags, the weather is still grey and soggy, the evenings are dark, the bank balance has taken a wobble and motivation is… well… hiding under a blanket with a cup of tea. Clients come in feeling - Tired and run down Stressed and overwhelmed Achy and tense Low in confidence Fed up with

It is officially that time of year again, the diaries are full, the evenings are sparkly and suddenly we are all trying to look fresh for Christmas parties while running on mince pies and pure determination. Let’s be honest, the eyes take the biggest hit this season. Late nights, winter dryness, a Prosecco or two, early mornings with the kids, it all shows right there. There is good news? With the right little beauty boosts, your eyes can stay bright, lifted and downright gor

Brrr… winter has officially arrived! The heating is on, the jumpers are out and our poor nails are feeling the chill. Between cold weather, central heating and all that washing up after hearty Sunday roasts, nails can quickly go from healthy and glossy to dry, brittle and peeling. If your nails have started to feel a little sad lately, here are my top tips to keep them happy and hydrated all winter long. 1. Moisture, moisture, moisture! The biggest winter nail struggle is dry

The run up to Christmas always starts the same, doesn’t it? You promise yourself you will stay organised this year and then suddenly it’s mid December, your to do list has its own to do list and you have not sat down properly since November. I see it all the time, busy mums, working women, carers, grandmas, everyone juggling everyone else and quietly putting themselves at the very bottom of the pile. But here is the thing… If you run out of energy, everything else runs out wi

Collagen has been popping up everywhere lately in powders, drinks, gummies and even added to your morning coffee. What actually is collagen and does it really make a difference to your skin? Here is the simple version, without the confusing science. What Is Collagen? Collagen is the protein that keeps your skin looking smooth, firm, plump and youthful. It is basically the support structure inside your skin. As we get older our natural collagen production slows down. That is w

A question I hear quite often in the beauty room is, “Will a brow tint fill in the gaps in my brows?”. It is a really common one and the short answer is, not quite. A tint is fantastic for darkening your natural brow hairs and giving them more shape and definition, but it can only work with the hairs you already have. If you have got sparse patches or thin areas, tint alone won’t fill those in. So, what can you do to make your brows look fuller and more even? Let’s break it d

The candles are lit, jumpers are out and your lattes have gone from iced to pumpkin spice, it can only mean one thing - autumn is giving way to party season! Just because the nights are darker it does not mean your nails have to be. Right now, it is all about transitional manicures, looks that carry you from those warm, earthy autumn tones into the glitz and sparkle of Christmas, without having to do a full colour overhaul. Think of it as a little “wardrobe change” for your n

Can you believe the clocks have gone back already? One minute we are sipping iced coffees in the garden, the next we are hunting for fluffy socks and wondering how it is dark before dinner! It is completely normal to feel a little “off” when the days suddenly get shorter. The change in daylight can affect our mood, sleep and energy levels and even our skin and nails start to notice the difference. The good news is, a few small tweaks to your self care routine can make such a

As the days get shorter and the sunshine starts playing hide and seek, our bodies can really start to feel the difference. That is because we are missing one very special thing - Vitamin D. Often called the “sunshine vitamin”, it is one of those quiet little heroes that keeps us feeling healthy, happy and energised all year round. What Is Vitamin D & Why Do We Need It? Vitamin D helps our bodies absorb calcium and phosphate, the building blocks for strong bones, healthy teeth
