Notes on Skin Care in your 30’s
Once we hit our 30’s we’re losing collagen at a rate of around 1% per year. It’s also the time that sun damage from years gone by starts to surface. So this is when we start to see fine lines, larger pores, capillaries, pigmentation and uneven skin tone and for some of us a little […]
Notes on Masking
I mask at home at least twice a week, usually in the bath with a hair treatment in, along with a gin and tonic (served by my husband if I’m lucky!) Whether your looking for instant hydration, brightening or detoxifying your lymphatic system, masks are an essential component of every good skin-care regime. There are […]
Notes on Eye Care
The skin around the eye is very delicate and prone to ageing, being much finer than the skin on your face with no oil glands to help keep the skin supple. Regular use of an eye treatment can be beneficial from as young as 20 years old. For the sake of adding an extra 30 […]
Notes on Pre Wedding Skin
When it comes to having a plan, our complexions are unique. Your skincare regimen should be customised to your skin type, concerns and, most importantly, the time frame to your big day. And while weddings shouldn’t be an excuse to lash out on hugely expensive treatments and start a whole new regimen (you have enough […]
Notes on Skin Care and Application
Try starting with a cleanser along with an antioxidant serum and a moisturising, broad-spectrum sunscreen for day. For night time try an exfoliating cleanser with a retinol serum or a face oil finished with a nourishing night cream.

I am currently alternating between SkinMedica TNS Recovery Serum and Skinceuticals CE Ferulic which I have used forever. […]
Notes on Long Haul Flights
I’ve had my fair share of long haul flights and cold weather. While an Australian Summer is harsh and New York at minus two degrees can be crazy, I believe our skin takes the most punishment at altitude whilst we travel. Skin maintenance while travelling has to be one of my most asked questions. Fortunately, […]
Notes on Winter Skin
Be sure to adjust your skin care regime according to the season. For the cooler months, swap your gel cleanser for a more nourishing oil or milk cleanser, and trade lightweight gels and lotions for richer more occlusive creams to seal the skin and lock moisture in. Layer hydrating serums and nourishing face oils underneath your moisturiser and decrease […]
Notes on My Diet & Supplements🍴 ❤️
Next a coffee with almond milk – I try to make my own almond milk sometimes, but next best is Nutty Bruce, it goes well with coffee and doesn’t have all of the added sugars. Diet is everything when it comes to great skin! I try to follow an anti-inflammatory diet. I’m not a nutritionist, […]
