Arbonne product launch review

I’m so excited by the changes happening since I returned from Arbonne’s global training conference in Las Vegas... I loved the original RE9 skincare than Arbonne produced but the latest launches are just amazing. Here’s a roundup of my favourites and how I’m working them into my normal skincare routine. Arbonne’s RE9 Advanced collection was developed to address the specific needs of ageing skin – I know you don’t need me to tell you we all need this! I’ve been using it consistently, twice daily since the launch and have noticed an improvement in the appearance of skin firmness, elasticity and

Avoid these makeup faux pas to make your skin look younger

Makeup can help you look younger, or even older if you don’t apply it correctly. I’ve just started to switch to a darker foundation as the weather warms up and my skin picks up a bit of natural tan but incorrectly applied makeup can actually age you. Here’s the key mistakes to avoid to ensure your makeup isn’t ageing you. Too pale foundation Make sure you get a really good colour match for your foundation as too pale a foundation can age our skin. Foundation is best colour matched in natural daylight so it’s no wonder that when we buy a foundation at one of the overly bright department stores

Want to reduce and prevent crows feet?

We all want to look our best and here’s how you can reduce the look of crows feet and laughter lines. The sun and exposure to UV rays is a major factor contributing to the appearance of Crow’s Feet or Laughter Lines as I’d prefer to call them. The sun is the number one cause of ageing with mineral oil, a bi-product of the petro chemical industry, and in over 90% of retail skincare brands, being second in line. The skin around the eyes is exposed to the sun more regularly and typically with less protection than the rest of the face so it’s no wonder we often start to show our age in this area

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

What do you get the women in your life who already have everything? Whether it's a gift for your own mother, or a mother's day gift for your wife from your own children, we've got you covered. I love gift buying and wrapping. For me the packaging can be as much of a treat as the gift inside and that's especially true with Swiss botanical brand Arbonne. But more importantly is what's in the packaging and how it works, that all mothers will love this Mother’s Day (or any day of the year!). I love the Arbonne ethos of pure, safe, beneficial, which means all their products are created with

Non Surgical Facelift Alternative - A Natural Approach

Is the end of the facelift on the horizon? Modern women are shunning invasive surgery for gentler methods of preventing skin ageing, new figures suggest. People are opting for more natural alternatives to Botox and non-surgical facelifts. Data from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons ( BAAPS ) found that the number of cosmetic operations last year dropped 40 per cent since reaching record-breaking heights in 2015. Face and neck lifts fell by 53 per cent last year to just 3,453, from 6,402 in 2015. Eyelid surgery was also down 38 per cent. For the first time in a decade total

How to get smoother, softer lips

Make sure you have luscious lips this Valentine’s Day… We all desire lips that are kissable at this time of year, but the cold and wet weather can wreak havoc on your skin and your lips are one of the most exposed parts of your face. It can be simple to get softer lips you just need to treat them with a bit of love and care and they will reward you with a soft and smooth texture and plumpness you’ve never seen before. One of the easiest ways to get softer lips is to exfoliate your lips while you are brushing your teeth. Yes I know, lots of people laugh when you say “exfoliate your lips” but it

Arbonne Genius Ultra Review - Astonishing anti-ageing results

When Arbonne released their new Genius Ultra skin care device in April and I saw the results of the clinical study, I knew they’d created something revolutionary in the realm of beauty tools. (By the way, Arbonne spends more on independent testing on humans than any other skin care company.) The Genius Ultra makes your skincare more effective, applying your products more evenly, allowing your products to reach all areas of the skin, even microscopic ridges. It does this through ultrasound technology which pushes skincare products into outer layers of the skin to you get maximum benefits from

My skincare favourites

Today I thought I’d share with you my current skincare favourites. At the moment, I’ve been using my products religiously with the Genius Ultra, which I’ve mentioned in a previous post . It’s been a total revelation and improved my skin so much! So what am I using it with and what are my favourites? The Toner Currently I’m using the super-fresh and gentle Regenerating Toner supports skin tone by minimising pore appearance and refining skin texture. Key ingredients include sea buckthorn oil and stabilised vitamin C which deliver a powerful spritz of antioxidants to help enhance skin’s natural

How to get glowing skin

“That’s so sweet of you to say”, I laughed as the woman at the counter next to me in the post office complimented my skin. It was an odd conversation really. I was simply posting a parcel of goodies to a potential client but new Post Office regulations means they need to check what each parcel contains. When I said it was ‘just beauty products’ the chap serving me asked like Rimmel. Gosh no, these are botanical skincare products with a Swiss heritage. It was enough for the woman next to me to want to know more. She looked at my glowing skin and declared ‘I want some!’ My skin is better in my
